As you will see from the text, the main thrust of this posting is that it is a myth that immigration is an issue in housing allocation, and that the key issue is the government's failure to provide housing stock, a point backed up by my quotations from Michael White and Shelter.<br><br>I think you will find that Shelter are experienced in housing matters.Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00525444717679391831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910188492873665563.post-33717684759280323992007-05-23T03:36:00.000-07:002007-05-23T03:36:00.000-07:00hehe, I was researching for more facts on the stat...hehe, I was researching for more facts on the state of social housing in the UK and came upon your blog. After reading the comments here, it leaves me to wonder if this could be a clear demonstration of Word Play. In that "Housing Allocation and the impact of immigrants" is the issue, but you have chosen to pick words and not the core issues.<br><br>When it is said that the allocation policies are fair, is incorrect. Although the current housing allocations are deemed to be fair, in practice this is NOT the case. The Housing Allocations is fraught with favouritism. e.g: How can it be so, that a single man with 2 boys and arrived in the UK only some 5 years ago, has been given a 3 bedroom house over a single mother with 3 boys and was born in the UK, but she is entitled to an OVERCROWDED 2 BOXroom flat. How can it be that a single mother with one child, was given a 3 bedroom house? How can it be that a couple with no children was given a 3 bedroom house? Do you really hold the facts or do you prefer talking on subjects that you have never experienced?<br><br>Do you think it's correct for children to sleep in Bathrooms, Kitchens, Hallways and Living rooms?<br><br>Do you not think that every child should be given a fair start in life or do you think that children should be stereotyped and penalized because their parents mistakes?Nickhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=111d887gyaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910188492873665563.post-33408235070500807722007-05-22T07:24:00.000-07:002007-05-22T07:24:00.000-07:00Thank you very much Drew.

I particularly enjoyed writing those Anne Atkins posts - particularly the bit about the lack of a blindfold on the statue of Justice on the Old Bailey!<br><br>Thank you James - surely "indigenous" should only refer to descendents of the "beaker people" especially considering Anglo-Saxons are very recent arrivals in the scheme of things - i.e about 500/600 AD - it hardly compares to the Aborigines, for example, in terms of longevity in Australia?Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00525444717679391831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910188492873665563.post-86493989592075974152007-05-22T07:06:00.000-07:002007-05-22T07:06:00.000-07:00Hopefully this quotation from the BNP constitution...Hopefully this quotation from the BNP constitution will clear up what 'indigenous' means:<br><br>“The indigenous British ethnic groups deriving from the class of ‘Indigenous Caucasian’ consist of members of: i) The Anglo-Saxon Folk Community; ii) The Celtic Scottish Folk Community; iii) The Scots-Northern Irish Folk Community; iv) The Celtic Welsh Folk Community; v) The Celtic Irish Folk Community; vi) The Celtic Cornish Folk Community; vii) The Anglo-Saxon-Celtic Folk Community; viii) The Celtic-Norse Folk Community; ix) The Anglo-Saxon-Norse Folk Community; x) The Anglo-Saxon-Indigenous European Folk Community; xi) Members of these ethnic groups who reside either within or outside Europe but ethnically derive from them.”James Grahamhttp://www.theliberati.net/quaequamblognoreply@blogger.com
