Roseleah the family interviewed on The World at One (R4), had a seriously disabled son (autism and learning disability) and they had been evicted three times because of him.
Surely a family like this, of all families, should be a the top of the housing list and be being prioritsed for a proper home. One of the reasons they get evicted is because the rented homes are unsuitable for him, no outdoor space where he can safely run around. He is then incarcerated in the house, with all the windows locked as if it was a prison and his behaviour, obviously deteriorates (have you any experience of children like this, if you had, and I have, you would understand the pressures this puts on a family).
I am not sure whether you own or rent your house, but you are clearly completely unaware that rents have been rocketing in recent years, especially in London and big conurbations. A family may be happily esconced in a flat, but then the rent goes up and they ahve to move out because they cannot afford the rent and cannot find anything other suitable accommodation they can afford.
None will be illegal immigrants because they are not entitled to council accommodation and councils are not even allowed to provide tem with temporary accommodation.
roselah I dislike expressing adverse comments on people on GN but I find the views expressed in your post utterly contemptible.
