The figures mean that occupation of council houses by foreigners in England is now at its highest level since at least 2006/7, with 27,000 homes lived in by foreigners.
The figures also show that the number of homes occupied by Eastern Europeans had doubled since the Coalition was formed in 2010 to four percent.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/ ... igner.htmlNow remember this is just 'council' owned homes which make up only 30% of subsidised social housing, the rest is made up from 'Housing Associations' or similar - It doesn't appear that anyone has the figures for how many of their properties are lived in by foreigners.
The way subsidised homes have been going to foreign citizens and not to families with long-standing local connections has become politically sensitive as immigration hits record levels.
Frank Field MP and Sir Nicholas Soames MP, co-chairmen of the Cross-Party Group on Balanced Migration, said of the council house scandal: “The proportion of social housing going to non-British nationals continues to increase. A stronger priority for social housing should be given to long-standing local residents."
Lets not forget, these were the things we were told "Does Not Happen"
This is a fucking National Disgrace - Another one to add to the growing list of National Disgraces - where foreigners are being put before British people.
People have got to live somewhere TJ, and all these people are here now so there is no use moaning about it.
Most just want a job and somewhere safe to raise their families.
I can't see what the problem is. We are Europeans after all.
