The Guardian visited a Liverpool-based charity, Merseyside Refugee Support Network, which has seen a rise in the numbers of refugees facing destitution. Staff at the centre warn there is potential for refugee camps to appear in the UK and say they fear we may see 'people dying in the parks and on the streets'

I don’t get how ppl come to this country and think they will get a place straight away I mean there are people who are born and work here and are struggling.
The point is the time he has to get a home. Did u get it ?
They come because they know they will be looked after at the expense of the taxpayer like free hotel room 3 meals a day pocket money free mobile phone top up better than our own homeless who in all probability paid something into the system & once settled will send for all of the extended family
They had a choice stay and fight for freedom, but slavery there were no choices only people who should be allowed to go anywhere in the world and get a job and a home are the people white people Arabs and west Africans who helped to enslave. are black people, aka people from the Caribbeans islands or black Americans or black Europeans, any one else will not be accepted simple. they go to neighbouring countries why all the way to uk or América or Europe?
@@chucks6781
You're right yes! This is the price that the UK has to pay beacuse it always sticks its nose in every corner of the world. Wherever people suffer from something you can trace it back to uk's.
Immigrants pay exorbitant fees for visas and naturalisation and Home Office is supposed to use some portion of these fees towards support for asylum seekers and refugees.
my grandmother drove an ambulance in london during the blitz in WW2 but when she needed assisted accommodation at age 92, she had to wait because migrants were given priority. she lived and worked and paid tax in britain her whole life yet took second place to people who had never paid in a penny nor served the country in war. how can that be fair?
@@MarioSchlemmer-s5k What does that mean?
It must definitely be horrible to feel overlooked by a system that claims to care for its people - all its people. It seems like the UK needs more priority given to housing and assisted accommodation, and government funding and policies need to start reflecting that priority, so that people like your elderly grandmother and people like these war refugees can _all_ get the shelter and support they need and deserve as a human right.
Bless you that’s dreadful. British people are standing up to it now. It can’t go on.
I am so sorry and ashamed our country is a mess😢
This breaks my heart. I am so sorry. ❤😢
This makes me so mad. These freeloaders need to be deported asap.
Deported?
What are you talking about?
Country need more slaves like him.
Hand carwash, Poundland, Costa, Pret, warehouses, building sites, delivery drivers, looking after canabis farm.
Cleaners, kitchen porters
Congrats another thorn in Uk's cap. He will start demanding his own laws after an year
@@milo2324 no we dont
I listened to him sorry no sympathy , and l don’t care if people call me heartless , my country men come first
they're not "refugees"
I remember how terrified I was when I became homeless, there's nothing quite like it. It completely destroys your sense of self worth. When people are housed their physical and mental health improves. Alas we live in the UK, where politicians are obsessed with keeping house prices high.

ME AND MY SISTER HAD NO WHERE TO GO
WHEN WE CONSTANTLY SUFFERED ABUSE FROM OUR MOTHER
WE HAD TO STAY IN THAT SITUATION
JUST BECAUSE YOU SEE IT ON THE STREETS DOSENT IT EXIST
Boomers allowing the privatisation of everything and impetus put on owning properties for business not home.
Then they should of stayed at hime
Europe is full. Us locals struggle too. It is not right.
💯
What is funny is that they wanted so much the Brexit because they blamed the EU for immigration and now they have less qualified immigrants from the EU but the non-EU immigrants keep comming strong. The British people put themselves in a worse situation. But overall all of us western europeans are doomed. All non westerners hates us, but at the same time are colonizing us. There is no salvation for our lands, we are doomed.
Is it fair to say they'll be a long line of local people waiting to be housed?
@streetinscottia this is the fruition of 5 decades of neoliberalism, capitalism on steroids where more is never enough and sustainability a dirty word.
It's the truth
Yup. And as usual - Brits automatically go to the back of the line.
@@incurableromantic4006 that's not a fact but fact is rentals are becoming unaffordable, not just in Britain but everywhere and the rich pay little no taxes while making exuberant profits. No need to hate a downtrodden for another downtrodden, that's how farage got you believe it would all be so much better after brexit and it just got worse.
@@incurableromantic4006that's true, they told me waiting list are 8years I should stay in my private rental, which is killing me.
As much as many left leaning people would like to, but we cannot house the worlds economic migrants and refugees. You cannot keep asking the working class to fund this from more and more taxation.
💯
Meanwhile our billionaires keep fighting tooth and nail to be taxed less.

@@VEVOJavierwe have no way of knowing if these people claiming be 'refugees', actually are.
@@yorkshiremgtow1773 Except for the extensive amount of documentation and background checks, of course.
Ludicrous, a country that won't take care of their own but choose to help foreigners and citizens of other countries, i don't think that's what taxes were designed to do for taxpayers
Sick of all this! We don't even look after pensioners properly, who have paid into the system! But, these are moaning that they can't get a home! Oh and they don't want to integrate and live by our cultural rules. Stop coming here and costing us all a fortune!
The Uk as a nation is finished but it's gonna be a long and painful road to the bottom.
Honestly there needs to be a complete halt to refugee entries except in exceptional circumstances. Things are bad, people are struggling as it is. This is madness.
That's insane, and you haven't thought through that policy one iota.
But for 150 000 Ukrainians homes were found very quickly within weeks that means there is no crisis
@@rosetta84 we the uk have hardly no Ukrainians here , Poland and Hungarian took in loads of.
This migrant invasion problem will be the most important issue in the next general election because it is this that is responsible for ALL the other problems we face such as housing shortage. Nhs waiting times and many other meltdown issues.
Clue. You've got status now get a job and pay for yourself,including accommodation,like the rest of us have to. NO benefits imo.
When EVERY homeless UK born persons are in acommodation we can then talk about finding something for the others.
2019 until 2022 must have been a really dark time for you then - knowing that your country was led by a man who wasn't even born in this holiest of holy countries. I'm really sorry you had to go through that..
You are 💯 correct.
Charity (should always), begin at home.
There is nothing racist or xenophobic about that = FACT!
@@flourbvoy1269 ... We don't have any "holier than thou" belief or attitude. ... We just want Britain to be (primarily), for the (truly), British (and those who are born here, and who have true ancestry here).
UK Native born only
Tbh do I thinknbrits are helped as much as in other countries
I feel bad but I have no sympathy anymore. I don't care
The've had an easy ride so far nothing to pay, dont have to work, free rent, meals ,while the indigenous poplution are struggling daily
Vote Reform uk 🇬🇧....
Im not even a British but I 100% agree to this as a UK tax payer! Open your eyes! You have helped enough! Your system is being abused! When is it going to be enough is enough! Help your people first especially the elderlies!!!!!!!!!!
they get universal credit without any need to find work or sanctions, the english get sanctions and their money stopped
I'm sorry but this situation is unsustainable and our own people need to come first..We cannot and should not be housing refugees before our own people.
What about the British people
Many of the homeless British people I worked with from 2018 - 2021 refused to have ID, refused to make benefit claims, refused to live in hostels and did not want to interact with “the establishment”. Either by choice or mental health reasons.
When we done outreach work we would spend hours trying to engage them in Hackney, the parks, the canals. There are some people who are homeless by choice but it is usually people who have been failed by the system from as early as they can remember. Usually the children’s social care failings, or abuse sustained in prison, or the breakdown of the family where the family court has banished them from their home and access to their children. So whilst for some being homeless is a choice it’s a hard choice that they make to stay away from the system that broke them in the first place.
The system needs fixing at every level but the UK are inviting people from abroad to fail them too, all whilst telling the native citizens it’s their fault the system is broken.
@1984Xyes, so that they wouldn’t refuse out of trauma or apprehension anymore. I was also a homelessness worker and saw this many times sadly
@@Maria7Maria never thought about homelessness like that intresting take
They had a choice stay and fight for freedom, but slavery there were no choices only people who should be allowed to go anywhere in the world and get a job and a home are the people white people Arabs and west Africans who helped to enslave. are black people, aka people from the Caribbeans islands or black Americans or black Europeans, any one else will not be accepted simple. they go to neighbouring countries why all the way to uk or América or Europe?
System is not broken and need no fixing!
Everything is working fine. The way they have planned too.
And your job was to bring people back to system so they can be abused because the inbalance of power is huge.
People who work in the system, like you, are not there to help, but to send you straight to the abuser!!!!
Like GP, mental health nurse, or accomodation which has big problem with antisocial behaviour.
Thanks for your understanding and compassion ❤
British people should stop voting for politicians who allow this to happen.
They've created this problem for themselves. The grass is not always greener.
what about white British homeless families??????
Iam an immigrant and I do respect that the government should start by housing their own people first .
Yep true. We cant keep housing people. Even if we wanted to theres simply not enough space and now people are living in hotels and terrible conditions.
How kind of you
@@debbywilliams9172 what do you mean. I have never lived in a council house . I have always worked full time so I have never been entitled to social housing . I always rented privately but still think that priority should be given to British people when it comes to benefits and social housing . Immigrants should provide for themselves unless they are unable because of disability or illness . I think that is fair enough. We immigrant should contribute to the welfare of the society that we are living in and should never become a burden .
The UK is overpopulated and we don't have any social housing for our own people, and we certainly cannot house the 780M people that would like to come to the west for a better life. It's a National State of Emergency, we have to close our borders for ten years. Look at the case in Clapham,.London, another chemical attack, children and people injured. He'd been refused asylum twice, he was convicted in 2019 with a suspended sentence, yet the Home office did not deport him. He'd been given asylum from Afghanistan. The Home Office, the immigration service, the justice system has all been infiltrated and British people are suffering due to it It's got to stop now, otherwise it is the end of the British way of life forever. A nation's people never allow themselves to be replaced without a civil, they never willingly allow it to happen until their very survival is at stake, we have certainly got to that point.
Simple go home.
I am working and started doing overtime to make ends meet, and when i saw they cut my tax i felt it so hard I lift really heavy boxes into a truck and my fingers hurt but no one gives a toss i gotta pay my rent every month and bills i cant buy nice things for myself tax takes it i dont mind it if monies going to british people born and bred here but these lot are thieving my money which is earned doing hard work using my body as the main tool and if i complain i dont even get to see a gp these lot get everything why.
Foreigner telling a foreigner in broken English that he has been approved to stay in England 😂😂😂😂
This is a joke!! This country is so patheticly soft and left!! Free money, free house, free healthcare!!! I'm not surprised that they wanna come here!!! This country isn't great Britain anymore... It's just Britain! And it's upsetting!!!
Had he asked go stay in gary linekars spare room?
I feel horrible. I understand there's just too many to be able to properly assist. I wish people could live peacefully and with all basic needs met all over the world. The human condition. 😌
Yes, would be nice.
But this is complete utopia.
They could go live on King Charles's estate, plenty of room there. Locusts
why dont they go to neighboring countries why all the way to uk or América or Europe?
People in the UK are struggling ! Familys from the UK struggling yet these people come to the country and get everything for free
If you don`t have a job lined up when you get here tor come through the proper embassy then you have no reason to be here.
what about white British homeless families?????? this program is disgusting
We are full and have our own problems sorry not sorry
'Refugees'. More like economic migrants.
Does it really matter? A little secret any politician won’t tell you is that because of open abortion laws and the high cost of living, there aren’t enough people to make the wheels of consumption economics grind smoothly. Hence everyone on this island should be given the opportunity to become a consumption taxable unit. Everything else is the subject of Sunday morning political shows
@@ralphperez4360Yes, it does. Europeans are being discouraged from having families whilst they bring in our replacements.
@@ralphperez4360yes it does. Economic migrants are basically had no direct and immediate harm in their life. It is completely illegal. Aka. Illegal immigrants. I’m British, our economy is bad. Can we all move to another country illegally cause we think we can earn more money there? Lol. We will be deport instantly. Also, no economic migrants before we feed our own people. Do you know how many people are struggling in the UK right now? Eating or heating. If you’re so kind you can open your home for those illegal immigrants. Not our responsibility to take care of people outside Britain.
@@denisescally7090 Kalergi plan
UK residents born in this country should be at the top of the waiting list for housing, the migrants should have done research before coming to the UK and realise the streets are not paved with gold.
They have to get used to it like British people do
One would be deluded if they think the UK is easy. The British West Indians that were invited could tell one what it was like.
The best immigrants who ever came here, came from the West Indies, says this 100% native and indigenous White British man.
I love Caribbean people and I love ya food even more, lol.
What about all the Irish folk who are homeless? I'm struggling to have any empathy when as a country we treat indigenous folk so badly, it's cruel and not at all fair. STOP THE BOATS
Some of these charities although coming from a place of help aren't helping the situation they are perpetuating the problem. Charity begins at home.

They could always go back to their own country. Or one of the many, many other countries they travelled through on their way here.

The best time of your life is lost, eh?
I came to Germany as an MS student in mechanical engineering at TU Darmstadt. To get a regular job as a junior design engineer in an aeronautical company took me 2 years of full-time university education, 3 years of German course, 1 year of minimum wage internship, no holidays, no visits to ageing parents in my home country for 4 years, endless struggle in a rather exclusionary and homogeneous corporate world. Every single penny spent in this process came from savings in a developing country.

People are waking up.
It’s about time I see it all over the comments.

Well then why didn't he stay in France or Italy, or the several other safe modern countries he travelled through to get to this cold island in the North Sea?
Time to go home then I suppose...
There are plenty of British people that are hungry and homeless. How did he enter the country! I don't feel bad at all. It's out of hand and he needs to be sent back to his country of origin. Help British people.
I've been homeless for 4 months and still. I literally left out in the cold they discriminate against me from my caseworker in the Newham council when they see people don't know in the laws they infringe their rights. This is exactly what happing to me right now. I'm really speechless. I don't know where to go or what to do anymore. I'm very disappointed it's really shameful

So consequences of his choices. He had a job & family.
Did you not hear the part about being repeatedly arrested and tortured because of his beliefs?
@chrisbutland2973 of course I did. It was because he became a Christian. His choice.

But how many more can this small island cope with?? Enough is enough
Well, if you come into another country ileggaly you shouldn't expect to get anything.
In fact I came to UK legally 18 years ago, and NEVER got a penny from UK. Never gor any benefits or financial support. I worked hard for all i have. Amd that's how it should be. Don't expect others to take care of you.
BRITISH FIRST GO FIGHT FOR YOUR COUNTRY
Theres not enough homes for British tenants let alone refugees with 8 kids. Our gov need to look after their own and build more houses, train our own people and help find job for British citizens rather than helping refugees, they should be sent back. Only those who are skilled educated like doctors, nurse and can speak English or even for foreign businesses who are rich can come over and pay taxes. Not your average bob who comes on a boat and on the state.
Less migrants more housing less migrants more school places less migrants more space in prison less migrants less waiting lists for doctors dentists and NHS services
If they cant be housed why are they stil letting more into the UK? Time they all went home. Indigenous folk need the help more
Nobody should be homeless.

migrants need to be housed in tents ..british people are living in tents for years waiting for a home .. its OK in Europe it should be OK here . this should be shown to migrants before they come here .
They moved to a country without a place to live?
U.K government should prioritized its citizen first, refugee lives in camp only
Congratulations you get to pay your own rent
Sudan to UK: 6200 km

The root of the housing crisis was the mass sell off of council housing under the Thatcher government in the 1980s……..but I also think that it is unfair that our country has to accept thousands of migrants when native British people are struggling to put food on their table and trying to find a decent place to live
This reminds me of "The story of the snake."
A kind-hearted woman was walking down a road when she stumbled upon a wounded snake. Feeling compassion for the creature, she decided to take it home and care for it. She nursed the snake back to health, tending to its wounds and ensuring its comfort.
However, as soon as the snake had recovered, it turned on her and bit her. The woman, shocked and dying from the venom, asked the snake why it had betrayed her. With a sinister grin, the snake replied, "You knew I was a snake from the start. You ignored the risks and took me in regardless. So don't act surprised now."
Great I hope the message goes out to the world that Britain and Europe aren’t a free housing department for fit young men.
So he broke the law in his own country then expect to be given a flat here. Doesn't that make him a criminal
Criminals, substance misusers are a priority for housing. Hilarious
Government should give first priority to their own uk people. Of course I feel sorry for refugees too but government can’t neglect their own people.😢😢😢
Maybe they stop some coming here if are not gonna be faced with REALITY ,,
The burden is too much for the UK. Some of their citizens are homeless. The young man should try to get help from some of the churches. I wish him all the best.
Church??? It is haram
Having grown up on a Merseyside council estate, I would say it is a long shot to arrive therefrom Africa with no money, work. skills or language and expect be granteda free comfy home along with a hundred others.
Comes here gets universal credit, British dont even get that
Broken people coming to a broken country lol
Human rights laws says all people must be housed what a joke
Hahaha.. After 1year he will be a pain to UK, as he will show his true colors. Congratulations UK, you have taken another thorn.
Not enough room for anymore its simple maths and logic why can’t politicians use what brains they have.
I know how it feels like to be a homeless person. It’s terrible honestly .
Yes it must be, who helped you, I assume you are British, did they put you in a 4 star hotel? Probably not.
Deport
Our own people of this country are struggling we cant look after our own people of this country that are homeless
Why come to the UK when the ship is all ready sunk ?
We are a rich country with a big credit powerful credit card. We can borrow lots more money that our children and grandchildren can pay on our behalf, to house the odd near one million a year legal immigrants and refugees arriving on our shores. We can continue to borrow until our pips squeak. We, our taxpayers, need to help all of the whole world!
It is the British empire fault, why did they looted everyone, and everything on the world

So what happened to the housing scheme for the Ukrainian refugees, how long did this go on for and even the military from ukraine? Didn't the govt take a big influx of those people in to live with families born and bred in uk? Why doesn't anyone remember those people and the policies that took precedence?
They are fellow Europeans on our doorstep of mainland Europe, and they will return to Ukraine when the war is ended.
