One hundred thousand homeless families in England

Nothing to be proud of.
Many are families with children.
These are people born in the UK.
Many have been left homeless by their landlords. They cannot afford housing.

This is Britain today.

Local authorities have to give priority to asylum seekers. Many of them are single young men.

@SW-User British families are treated better than asylum seekers. There is a crisis right now and that is brought on by the cost of living issues and not those seeking asylum.
Rising interestvrates have forced landlordsvto increase rents and have forced many with mortgages to sell their homes.
This has created an incresse in people seeking social housing. Your staement just makes it sound as if the problem.is caused and aggravated by assylum seekers.

Your background has not afforded you much compassion for those dealing with war, loss and poverty

@BabyLonia I have no time for economic migrants, that is true. Sadly we left the EU where there was freedom of movement, and the movement was very much two way.

Refugees are a different they need compassion.

As for social deprivation, that is where I devoted my life’s work.

@SW-User our NHS is propped up by economic migrants

@SW-User Germany, Holland and France are also having to try to cope with absorbing large numbers of both economic immigrants and refugees. Others appear to be trying to cope by closing their borders.

We do by the way, know a lot about the trafficking "trade", including its source of boats; but dealing with that needs a concerted effort by several countries, separately from the EU.

The boats are made in Turkey, but fitted with under-sized engines imported from China then given false specification-plates that claim higher power than reality.
