If illegal immigration isn’t ended the amount of housing needed will ruin both our beautiful countryside and break us financially, as the Government gets it money from us.
So effectively we are paying to have our countryside and our children’s live to be ruined.
Shut up. Illegal immigrants do not get a house. You’re boring and repetitive racist and ill informed comments are just pointless.
Go away mark freedom of speech get used to it little pecker man
How many of London’s overflow will we be getting here, while local people in need can’t get a house.
I hope they are quicker in allocating houses, Southern housing can take months for people to move in, ridiculous when so many people are in bed and breakfast and hostels
