"In Britain being homeless and British gets you nothing. But being here illegally gets you a taxpayer-funded home. There are over 250000 homeless people in the UK yet instead of housing them the government is buying up empty homes to house illegal migrants. Not just a few: entire tower blocks student halls and flats are being repurposed in spite of local opposition. Why Because the public hates migrant hotels. But Westminster is pretending its the hotels themselves we object to rather than the policy behind them. Its not the buildings. Its what youre doing with them. For years councils claimed"
