Another failure by the tories. Why even bother welcoming refugees if you arent going to take care of them? Maybe Rishi can sell the challengers instead and buy more housing for the refugees.
People born in the UK find it a struggle to find somewhere to live too. This has nothing to do with being Ukrainian!
Without publicity, and behind the scenes, Ukrainians will now be given priority housing above those waiting patiently on housing lists.
Conservatives and Labour, both equally criminally guilty of housing neglect.
I’ve been trying to find a home in Ukraine but they just seem so few and far between these days.
Look at all the basic right wing title readers getting upset.
They having a fucking laugh?
I and millions of other Brits (including the homeless) cant get a council house… I bet these refugees are higher up the list than us.
Charity should start at home.
Lmao the guardian is such a shitrag. The Daily Mail for the left
Town and County Planning Act go BRRRRRRRRRR
But don’t worry guys, Ethel’s home she bought in 1956 for 50p just hit a £1m valuation (but we have to find her care because she’s ‘asset rich, cash poor’ )
Did they think it was just gonna be a breeze? Fucking hell if they think we’re that capable of just giving them a free ride then they’ve got a shock coming.
They are just experiencing what native Brits have for years. It sucks for them as much as it does for us, however it should also be a warning to people looking to migrate here that we are not the land of milk and honey that is often portrayed in the media. When we cannot house Brits in reasonably priced accommodation, there is no chance refugees will be either. It is not an Us vs. Them issue though, the fault will always lie with consecutive governments’ failure to build more social houses and more houses set at affordable rents in a given area.

I have sympathy for the couple who can never return home to Mariupol because it’s been completely destroyed, but I’m astonished they haven’t learned any English in the time since that happened, it’s been nearly a year. If I was forced to relocate to another country, after food and shelter my top priority would be learning the native language.
Aww are the streets not paved with gold, free houses and people falling at your feet to worship you
It’s almost as if we’ve got less space and available facilities as the population gets bigger. Why on earth could that be?
Those bloody Ukrainians.
Poor old Gertrude and Harold won’t be able to buy their 6th home which they could rent out at extortionate prices!
Why not the local municipals just house them in abandoned areas where they could buy homes for 1 sterling and let them create their own Ukrainian communities. They would regenerate those areas.
I was homeless for 5 years before my council took me on for housing! Then another year in a hostel before they put me in a dingy flat in an awful neighbourhood. It’s shit for us too and councils refuse to build more housing. My borough ‘lost’ £40,000,000 and now they’re selling libraries an council properties to pay the government back its 1.6bn debt. Jokers. I personally know people working in the council who are getting their kids housing.
Now this is a touchy subject. Let’s start off with fuck Russia and all they fucking stand for. I think the majority of us are on the same outcome.(bring it on if you disagree)
We stand with Ukraine through and through, you are some of the strongest People with what going on currently, absolute hero’s standing up to the bullshit which you have been faced with and we love you. But us as a nation are struggling to house our own people. We are talking just buying a home. I myself was lucky to purchase a home with my partner only because of inheritance. And this was minimal due to care home fees. We are incredibly lucky to be in this situation but also my partner has lost both her parents. We would rather be renting and she has them back. But regardless. Without this influx of money we would genuinely have no way of purchasing a home. We have been fortunate regardless of circumstances. Ukrainians should come second. We can’t support our own people. Everyone from Ukraine is so fucking welcome in our country but you need to understand we are not doing great ourselves.
slave ukraine, you guys rock.
Blame the government and the mixture of terrible policies that allowed this to happen but… Brits first yet we can’t even get homes ourselves
Funny how im from the UK and still cant own my own home either. Wonder why that is.
I really feel for them, as a lot of what I was told was in confidence (work related) I won’t go into details. The Ukrainians I met were suffering trauma, kids separated from fathers and sent away with mothers. And this fear of homelessness I would hear about a lot.
It’s heart breaking what they have endured, Yes we have problems in the UK for ourselves, but that doesn’t mean we can let them suffer.
Unfortunately it seems many outside the UK don’t know how bad the housing (and many other aspects of UK life) are in comparison to the rest of Europe so they come over here expecting something that simply doesn’t exist anymore due to deliberate actions from our own government.
But hey no worries let’s just keep writing our articles attempting to manipulate the population against anyone not born here instead of actually dealing with our problems. It’s done so much for use the last decade.
Same haha. I’m about to buy my first home after years of scrimping and saving. The max overtime I’m allowed to do. Busting my balls for the best bonus. Helping parents out with their bills.
Fuck off.
Damn, can’t even get a council house and I’m disabled too. Good luck to anyone.
They have a roof over their heads, be grateful loads of people don’t have that
