as they confront us. but to hear about them and see the inspiration they are going about to make sure that team will go to toronto and represent us as a nation is something i know when i speak for all members of this place, is nothing short of what is great about this nation. mr. speaker, we also spoke about australia hosting the invickitous games next year in sydney. and for those of us lucky enough to be there, and i know there were members from both sides of the house that were there when prince harry came over, to begin the count down for the games beginning in sydney. the prime minister was there and spoke eloquently following prince harry and thanked him for his initiative in starting the games and what it has led to in recognizing those defense members current and those veterans who will participate not only in toronto but in sydney. and can i say, mr. speaker, the competition for these spots is ferocious and is fierce. and i was lucky enough to have a go at the wheelchair rugby two weeks ago. and i can tell you they do not miss a round once they get on the sporting environment. every single one of those members who will represent us

decent accommodation, owned by councils, built by councils, run by councils, it is clearly costing us as a nationnd it is the increasing cost of housing in the country, particularly in the areas highlighted in your report — london, the south—east, various pockets around the country. that means that benefits just are not keeping up with the cost of private rented accommodation. so, is it really just about building affordable houses? how is it the families are finding themselves in this position in the first place? as a country, we are not building enough houses. i don't think that will be news to anybody. we need to build more houses. we need to build more houses in the right parts of the country and we need to make sure that we truly have a market which means that there's all types of housing. so right from the most affordable, social rented housing, all the way through to private sector housing. what we've seen is an imbalance in the housing market, particularly in london and the south—east, where those private rental costs just have sky rocketed because actually there are more people wanting th

important for that type of conversation, i think, this is the very reason i wrote this book, for us as a nation to sit down and finally agree on a definition for racist idea and the reason why that's so important, you know, i ended up again defining a racist idea, any idea suggesting that a racial group is superior, inferior to another racial group in any way. the reason that's why so important is because people have conversations regularly about race and then they refuse to admit that their ideas about black people of other group are racist and people want to speak and people want to imagine the racial hierarchies but they don't want to be considered racist and so that creates this conundrum and people do not also want to accept the fact, right. you present people with facts that dispute their ideas about black people but they still want to believe what they want to believe. it makes sense because the other alternative is that racial discrimination is pervasive and people do not want to believe that. people are so -- i mean, they love this idea of a post racial america. they are hugging it so
