Half of asylum seekers complain UK housing funded by YOU is 'completely inadequate'

EXCLUSIVE: FIFTY percent of asylum seekers surveyed about the quality of housing they have been provided, which is paid for by the taxpayer, have branded it as "completely inadequate", it has emerged.

Refugees housed across Birmingham and the West Midlands were quizzed about the standard of accommodation they were provided and a further 17 per cent described it as just "mediocre".

The properties were provided by G4S, one of three companies hired by the Home Office to provide asylum seeker accommodation up and down the country.

Just 11 percent of people asked said the housing was excellent, eight percent described it as good, and 14 percent said it was adequate for their needs.

The survey was carried out by Migrant Voice, an organisation set up to encourage a more balanced and inclusive debate on immigration in Britain.

It has been submitted to an ongoing Home Affairs Committee inquiry into accommodation for asylum seekers, set up in the wake of the Syria refugee crisis.

The report said: "Migrant Voice has undertaken a research into the living conditions of asylum seekers in Birmingham in housing provided by the Home Office through private housing providers – in this case respondents only named G4S.

"The research came about as a result of our members in Birmingham raising issues around their housing.

"We wanted to find out what the situation was, and if there are problems, to find out whether they are unique or widespread and to come up with recommendations.

"The questionnaires asked participants to describe their accommodation, asked what was good about the accommodation, what were the problems, and what were the recommendations."

Don’t forget O’s promises to Merkel and the EU. Hillary would continue to honor the Obama commitment.

That’s so sad! We should send those invaders home, where they can find and pay for their own housing that meets their own country’s very high standards.

Why? They simply need to hear from Native Voice: “What part of NO is unclear?”

I’m not sure how the Old and New Testament theologies are supposed to mix. China has been pretty chilly about Christ and yet managed to keep a strong national identity (however vain and worldly it is). The principles would more easily carry over to churches. Allow Christ to count for little or nothing in them, and before long all you have is some kind of pan-faith kumbaya that accepts any old vision that is claimed to be about the Lord.

There are neighborhoods the authorities will not go in. This is Britain today and most of Europe

The UK (like many Western nations) has a homeless problem. They could have made inroads on helping their own native homeless instead of these ungrateful invaders.

I wonder why all of those ‘refugees welcome’ people who offered their homes to invaders never offered them to native homeless.

China was never a Christian nation at its foundation. The basic theology is that of sovereignty. Not all peoples are called.
