And many asylum seekers WANT to work but they are not allowed to by our law. Some have professional qualifications, and were working before being forced to flee persecution, war, torture etc. <BR/><BR/>Some of you don't want to live in/ return to England because we have some annoying laws which make life inconvenient, annoying, disadvantageous sometimes to some who seem deserving. AAnd yet you blame people for <BR/>a) fleeing horrific situations. (asylum seekers)<BR/>or even worse<BR/>b) economic migration so their children don't have to starve anymore/ can get medical treatment.<BR/><BR/>I agree that there is a problem with "rewarding" in a sense those who manage to hit rock bottom, and I think length of wait should have weight as well, but please let's have some compassion, people!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-75476481712786451222007-08-01T17:31:00.000+00:002007-08-01T17:31:00.000+00:00I am amused by the irony of verity's comments!

They have painted themselves into a corner. As Ken Livingstone pointed out in the aftermath of Hodge's original comments, and please correct me if I am wrong, any change to the housing rules that discriminated in favour of the indegenous population would be unlawful on the grounds of indirect discrimination. That is, new immigrants are, in comparison to the UK average, more likely to be non-White, so it is unlawful to discriminate against them as a group.<BR/><BR/>Newham would, I guess, argue that, as it is already more diverse than the average cohort of immigrants, it CAN discriminate in favour of its "long term" residents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-74532480085123671932007-07-27T17:33:00.000+00:002007-07-27T17:33:00.000+00:00Steve,Speaking of the situation in London, the Con...Steve,<BR/><BR/>Speaking of the situation in London, the Conservative controlled councils up until quite recently operated a more equitable allocation system. However, now councils like Kensington and Chelsea have gone the way of the morally-spineless militant left-wing boroughs like Brent, Harringey and Lambeth. <BR/> <BR/>A few weeks ago the London listings magazine Timeout devoted an issue to the demise of old London entitled 'The Death of Cockney London.' This wonderful, rich culture was not helped by the housing allocation system. The old-style Londoners were self-sufficient and industrious; they eshewed pity and poor relief in the form of handouts, they were in short the deserving poor. I beg anyone of you to go down the Old Kent Rd, it consists of money transfer shops, dodgy halal butchers and fried chicken outlets.<BR/><BR/>Certainly the native Londoners of the east end, usurped by incomers from all corners of the globe thanks to the guilt-tripping middle class white liberals, escaped to places like Barking and Dagenham only for these policies to be repeated again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-68036203695885902262007-07-27T15:55:00.000+00:002007-07-27T15:55:00.000+00:00Hmmm, so immigrants get a council house, built and...Hmmm, so immigrants get a council house, built and paid for by previous generations of Brits. The immigrants themselves have not contributed anything to the creation of that house, and are not best placed to ever do so, being as they rarely speak the language. If they do speak the language, it means they are not displaced persons, but middle-class citizens of third world countries that had the smarts to click on to the fact that moving to the UK was both possible and a cushy number. So either they don't deserve to be here or we can't afford to keep them.<BR/><BR/>Oh yes, that seems really fair. And of course it is really sustainable. We can go along like this for the foreseeable future can't we? When are the fools in power going to grasp the inevitable nettle and bring this to an end?

Sanctuary from persecution doesn't have to mean sanctuary from working for ones keep. We have a number of uninhabited islands which would suffice, and a large "refugee" work force to build the shelters. Especially as so many of them are young males physically fit enough to shift for themselves. Assylum is supposed to grant access to a place of safety, not a chunk of other peoples money.<BR/>MontyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-24083943871040190852007-07-27T12:54:00.000+00:002007-07-27T12:54:00.000+00:00With Hodge there is an element of coercion.

It consisted of people burnt out or flooded and women fleeing domestic violence. <BR/><BR/>The actual 'homeless' numbers were very tiny but since the mid 90's hundreds of thousands people, if not millions, have moved to the UK and become eligible for public housing.<BR/><BR/>The GLA published a report a few years ago which said that of the 17,000 odd new tenancies allocated in London for that year, nearly half went the 'homeless'. <BR/><BR/>In London alone I would estimate that over the last ten years or so 50/60 thousand tenancies have been allocated to people who have not been in the country very long. I would say that upwards of 300 thousand people in total have been allocated public housing. <BR/><BR/>In 1996 Barking and Dagenham's 'homeless' consisted of ten families. In 2006 it was 565.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-56844515417745337752007-07-27T09:49:00.000+00:002007-07-27T09:49:00.000+00:00Cruddarse was being economical with the truth on C...Cruddarse was being economical with the truth on CIF then, there's a suprise and no mistake<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/jon_cruddas/2007/05/making_barking_mad.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-36707638890988852752007-07-27T09:34:00.000+00:002007-07-27T09:34:00.000+00:00"Well we’ve got it and that is that the decent cit..."Well we’ve got it and that is that the decent citizens are deemed undeserving and I think that’s wrong."<BR/><BR/>Spot on again Frank.
