What is that "mate" of mine Sadiq Khan trying to achieve ?

 

You lost you demented little cretin, get over it and concentrate on your job you terrorist sympathiser.

Sorry for the short reply earlier ... been busy.

I appreciate what you say but the truth is people cant be arsed to put the effort in.

Do you expect your government to do everything for you? That's not how it works in a community. Maybe that community spirit is lost on you?

We help each other ... its not a chore. We feel proud of what we do.

I do it because I want too and can. If others weren't so selfish and fucking lazy we'd all be in a better place.

Good on you for your Labour work ... least you're doing something you belive in.

I’ve highlighted a point in your post that highlights a fundamental difference to attitudes today compared with my experience. Personal responsibility is not a phrase that is  commonly used today.

To be fair, try getting a council house today.

They wouldn't be given to my sort. I've tried before. I'm not deemed essential to have such luxury.

I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing anymore.

This makes zero sense. Explain

You're clearly a good bloke but your view on politics could be deemed debatable? 

Maybe

My parents waited 3 years before we got one. We didn’t have to compete with people coming over from France then though. I’d have been happy to swap places with them and live in France. We lived in Little Hulton then.

No one coming over from France would be competing with anyone looking for a council house now. Why do you think they are?

Of course they are FFS. I’m guessing you’ve not been anywhere near a council estate in your life.

I just think they're all fuckers mate.

Everyone's views on politics are debatable.

I'd rather look after those close to home and those in need right now ... then wait and hope I have a impact later.

Least people like me make a difference now. A view others on here deem unacceptable.

If we all did our bit and didn't rely on people at the top ... things might be a little easier.

That's all.

Net migration in the hundreds of thousands per year (and increasing) is having an enormous impact of housing availability / affordability, but asylum seekers aren't legally entitled to council housing until their asylum claim has been considered and we process (relatively speaking) very few asylum claims

Well yes. Them as well

Then, as Aldo had just said, you are wrong. Legal immigration is not folk coming over from France on a fucking dinghy.

If you want to know why there are no houses then ask the government why they allow such a huge legal net migration and not provide for it.

Then ask why they divert the issue to small boats and Rwanda, etc. Then ask where you and others instinctive reaction should be aimed at. You are being played.

But once they’re granted asylum they’re allowed to apply for a house. They’ve still come from fkin France as BB said 🤦🏻

You do know the numbers coming over here legally (welcomed) and those granted asylum don't you?

We need to change the definition of legally.

Jesus, yes there’s 10s of thousand coming over each year, many who will want to get social housing. BBs parents didn’t have to compete with these people decades ago. What are you struggling to grasp?

You sound like Patel, Braverman and Jenrick

 

Are you actually fucking aware that birth rates are down, death rates are down and the country is in a right old pickle with too many taking out, not enough putting in and its only going to get worse

I think the question was how many refugees make up the total number of immigrants each year
