What do you think about immigrants being top of housing litst??

LadyMoonlight!!

It makes me sick. We nearly got made homeless with our baby son last year and we were told that the Council had "no Council Housing available", that the waiting lists for Housing Associations were around 5-6 years long and we'd just have to save to up to privately rent. Most private landlords won't even take Housing Benefit. And yet Asylum seekers get housed all the time - I know someone who works for Wales and West Housing and she admitted as much.

No Name is a moron and is probably a lazy sponging
migrant who is proud to be screwing this country for all its worth.

For your info, No Name, "good jobs" are hard to come by even for those with an education (As a graduate I have this problem) and even if you do have a good job it doesn't guarantee you can afford to buy or even rent a house these days with the huge cost of housing. People can be on the housing waiting list for all sorts of reasons - mortgage repossession, unable to afford private rents or buy for instance. You are a complete idiot to suggest that they are "lazy".

Now go and cash that giro that has been paid for by British Taxpayers' money.

As for "AJ" yes I'm sure he bought his house years ago when they were still cheap. He obviously has no idea how hard it is for young couples to get themselves hosed today. Typical middle class moron. "I'm all Right Jack - I only care about immigrants - sod British people". Reverse racism against British people, snobbery and arrogance. I hope he gets made homeless and then gets to see what its like.

Oh and before you make some snotty comment about how I should "get a job" and buy my own house, well I am looking after my son at the moment but we have got a mortgage which my partner works 2 minimum wage jobs, 12+ hours a day to pay for. So you are not paying for anything for us.

totally agree with you my son also has been on housing list for at least 4 years and round about us foreighners are being housed I say charity begins at home.

It's due to the system of those that need it the most get it. Asylum seeker are considered homeless so they get hire priority to someone who has a home.

It's wrong and non British nationals should not be entitled to benefits like free housing and dole. Unfortunately whilst the PC crowd are in power it's only going to get worse.

I totally agree with you. If I want to go and live in another country I would have to have a job and a home. I would also have to live by their rules.
How is it that we are building more and more Mosques in this country. Why does the average school class have fewer English students than Foreigners?
India wanted Independence from Great Britain which it got, so why are we giving them Â£2 billion aid every year?
Both my wife and I work, we have our own house and a car. Each month is a struggle to make ends meet. But it fecks me off no end when you see the immigrants driving around in cars they have not paid for, talking on their mobiles, wearing the latest fashions. Feck me I just one of the idiots who pay tax to pay for all this.
It's about time we had somebody in central government with some balls to sort out this mess. Why is the Englishman a second rate citizen in his own country?

I read that too...it's bull$#%#.....We are losing our country

astonite40

it is true, i can vouch for that from my own experience.

The BNP look better by the minute

Johnny

I agree with you, make them wait

Fiona Grace

I have been on the transfer list for about 4 years now!

A house came up for rent up the road but hey guess what?

lt went to an asylum seeker!

l cannot write what the neighbours said!

l just cannot believe it!

l was born in Scotland and lived up there for a good few years and l am seriously thinking of moving back to Fife as l cannot handle the way England is going!

Foriegners get priority - took me ages to find a job after having my son as all the shop jobs are taken by asians and we all know that asians only employ other asians!

I'm pissed off with it, my daughter is 25 been on the list for 3 years aswell and was told the other day that she would need to wait 5-10 years to get a flat/house, its ridiculous, she can't get on the property ladder as she does not earn enough although she works hard as a nursery nurse. She knows of immigrants who have come into the country and got a house with a garden straight away , its not fair and something should be done about it.

I think this is a figment of the imagination of a newspaper editor somewhere and basically your daughter doesn't have enough points to qualify for housing. If people are legally allowed into this country, by the government you legally elected, then the public only has themselves to blame. I would point out that there has been a general election since the start of the current immigrant policies of New Labour. Today the Express claimed that ALL new jobs in the last four years had gone to immigrants. Anybody with an ounce of grey matter can see that this is just inflammatory and irresponsible reporting simply intented to sell newspapers and stir up racial tension and reflect badly on the government.

Cherry

They might have legal papers and you don't know it! they give housing only to a legal residents! Don't just judge for the color of their skin!

Sod it

It is a joke and it DOES happen, they should not be given priority at all they should join the queue like everyone else!!

Dave M

It's all part of the big agenda, dumbing down schools, NAFTA, (which Pres.Clinton signed), control of the news outlets, allowing the US to be flooded with illegals, (bring down wage scales), and sooner than latter get ctl. of the guns.

evil_wee_angel

Has this actually been proven as being true?

Coz if it hasnt then i'd be inclined to believe its not true.

ketkonen

Just a teeny point, but why are there any British homeless people at all, given that we are able to house those from abroad. For foreigners there is always the option of going home, for British people this is our home and we have nowhere else to go. My partner is Malaysian and that is the position the Malaysian government takes. Had they not Malaysia would have been bought up lock stock and barrel by the chinese business community long ago. Thus the ' Malay First ' policy.

The establishment in Britain are going to have to grasp this nettle one day. Even second generation ethnic minority British people are getting fed up with the present situation.

janine1983

Hun they have everything they want from this country! Job's, home's, Free health checks and money! they should go back to there own country! Iam not being nasty but in years to come there's not going to be much room for every one.

washerl

if is that`s the case is not fair but also I see lots of people living of benefits in good health for work and doing nothing.

UTOPIA OR BUST,

you know papers have an agenda to make people think they are on the side of people on housing lists. to be honest do you think Rupert Murdoch and his ilk give a damn about people who are on housing lists. have you ever seen a paper for example put forward the name of one county official that says yes we are housing this person over another. you know why because they know jolly well that there is no such thing. what they hope is that does on the housing lists get mad and do a riot so they can call the protesters animals are scum. they do that all the time. A few years ago if you look up that paper i bet they had single unmarried mothers were getting the houses just to cause rows. its the way Murdoch and his lot work. they all form what i call the Daily Scare. the name i give to the Daily Mail in fact.

trust me its all bull i know people who work in councils and they tell me that its not immigrants that are causing the problems really there are other things. such as families that have grown and need larger houses. then they have to sometimes fix up the houses before giving the house to someone else. then they offer it to someone and they won't take it as someone died in it are some other reason. so it waits and you know one thing most immigrants when they go to the house do not know of the history of the house so take it. so maybe if people were not so squeamish about deaths taking place in a house then they would not have been moved down.

I think our Politicians have been trying to behave like they still are the " Bees Knees" like they were during the Imperialistic era. Now they have to somehow rely on a Vote-bank to make good. Tell me how many politicians can be named for putting the needs of Their constituents before Party matters? Make a list and analyse the information of Councillors in most big Towns and cities in the UK. The picture that emerges will cause you sleepless nights if you are in favour of simple justice. It is not the fault of the Immigrants ,they are looking to have the best they can from life. BLAME THE POLITICIANS.

Yahoo

Some Laws are sheet man, but you have to help ur daughter to get a house if she can not buy one, giver some money
immigrants are more calculated when comes up about money, they don't spended like you

simple one

You've got to ask that question in agency!
Have you tried to rent a house abroad? I think no...!
This is kind of business, dint you understand ,I'm renting 2 bedroom flat for Â£800.If i had no this money,i may non be staying here,and we are not taking your houses,this is just another stupid question.

Why sayer

Are you talking about legal or illegal immigrants?

Dionannan

Born and raised an American Citizen I was not allowed to even get my name on the housing list.
My 2year old son and I lived in my car for a year while I worked to save enough money for a deposit on an apartment.
It is not the immigrants fault.
It is the State's priorities.

Capt Jack

It's a bit of a vicious slur by the racist elements of the press.

Why are all the sensible people being marked down and the thicko bigots being marked up.

Al J- well said.

AnnOnnyMouse

Please post us a link, which 'todays paper' are you talking about about?

Kate

The only immigrants that are entitled to free housing and benefits are asylum seekers. Blame the British government not the immigrants, they are the ones that agree to take on asylum seekers.

All other immigrants would not be entitled to any kind of public funding and must prove to the Home Office that they can support themselves without the help of public funding.
