I hide them behind my Daily Telegraph ones she had previously sent, in case a random Brit ever walks into my house.

Not sure the flag of St. George would go down too well in my neighbourhood.

Report from 'Shelter' on housing affordability throughout the UK. I can't see it getting any better unless there is a huge increase in house building ( possible ) a huge increase in wages ( doubtful ) less demand ( very doubtful ).
It must be very difficult for young people to get on the housing ladder these days, certainly more difficult than in my day. Baby boomers really had the best of times.

It should work as something of a stop-gap but the UK is desperately short of affordable housing stock.

It has thousands of boarded up houses, many of which could be renovated and used, OK they are not in the leafy suburbs, but most of them would make great starter homes.
