  1. almost like unchecked illegal immigration leads to bad living circumstances for those who undertake it, passing through multiple safe countries just to get here and sleep on the streets seems mad and its being encouraged by weak border/sea enforcement, also pisses on the people who actually go through the legal immigration process and do it properly

  2. Not to sound controversial, but if London is the most expensive place in the UK, why is the government obliged to try and house them here?

    There is a huge bifurcation in house prices across the UK with thousands of empty homes already in areas that desperately need life breathed into it. You can house desperate people in better conditions for a fraction of the price.

  3. I try my best (nothing major) to help the homeless in my area but I’m not seeing many foreigners, it’s a lot of British being forced onto the streets, it’s sad, reminds me of the 80s

  4. Why are these people in London, the most expensive place in UK? Ship them off to some cheaper place.

  5. “Refugees” , one of my mates works in the Home Office as an Asylum Caseworker and he’s told me the number of people lying about their details to get refugee status far outnumbers legit refugees

  6. Is it bad if I help an English homeless person but not a foreign one? I mean you could be homeless in your own country. Yeah Watson’s but is this why you came to the uk? Professional beggars same place same time every day near me.

  7. terrible to see. the UK is wealthy enough to house both citizens and refugees; it’s a policy choice not to, and the deaths it results in fall soundly on the tories for cutting those programmes.

  8. Ok hear me out radical plan I know but send them back
