One in five of those helped to get inside during the Greater London Authority’s cold weather initiative this month were refugees who had recently left Home Office accommodation. Government rules give newly recognised refugees just 28 days to move on.
I mean what this shows is that our services are at breaking point and we cant look after all these foreign people.
It’s horrible, but like anything overload a system it can’t function properly.
This is gonna call for some expert sound bites from Khan, but not much else. Something else will distract the press soon enough.
Oxfords got really bad too 🙁
They’ll never be able to fix rough housing by housing people in London though. Property here is too expensive, the money to get people housed just isn’t there.
No idea what the solution is though. People are fixated on the percentage of rough sleepers who are from overseas, but there are plenty of British citizens who are also sleeping in tents and doorways
I started to notice much more homeless around but they all look like drug addicts, not refugees or people with money problems.

Uhhh it’s pretty simple. Stop asylum seekers from coming to our shores, remove the existing ones from hotels and place homeless there.
Great for the climate, essentially net zero existence
Around 45-50% of these are foreign nationals…
