I couldn’t care less about Afghans, it’s are own people I care about, it seems there was more interpreters than British soldiers
There are thousands of our own who are homeless, who helps them.
Many of these people worked with our army in Afghanistan. They are our people now, we promised them.
@@hanselmansell7555 more of them are not.
@@hanselmansell7555😂
If I recall. The British were there in afgan to assist with skills training to defend their own country. Army was there longer than necessary and when they left the afgan didn't even make a stand.
We owe them nothing.
Petition
❤Give British people priority need for accommodation❤
The Government should include British Citizens in the list for priority need for accommodation within the Housing Act 1996.
More details
❤😮We have a government who constantly find homes for thousands of Asylum Seekers, yet they appear to lack the same urgency for our own citizens. Those who have paid taxes and helped to build our Nation deserve to be housed first and foremost.❤
THOUSANDS OF BRITISH ALREADY HOMELESS 😢
No one cares 😂
People are not just homeless. Its a mental health/substance abuse issue/other.
@@xsentfromuk8938 where
Working homeless is massive issue and that is the ultimate betrayal of high inflation and government cutting costs of social housing not enforced better structure and then allow illegal immigrants access to our taxes is a final insult
@xsentfromuk8938 I'm not sure how someone gets in to those circumstances maybe if they were not working full time in a high cost of living area. I don't even work 4 days a week and I can still afford to live okay on £11 per hour or so.
I also don't understand how your final point about immigrants is relevant and it just seems like an impulsive thought to highlight how devided you want people to be.
Meanwhile thousands of British people are homeless
My partner worked in a hotel full of Afghan translators, but was sacked as it was too dangerous for lone females, but whilst she was there she said they were using the corridors and lifts as toilets, would smoke in the rooms, and always complained about the benefits were not enough and moaned about having to wait for their free house
But the best was most needed a translator as they couldn't speak English
Ah yes, thousands of ‘translators’. So true. Import the 3rd world - become the 3rd world.
Good
Ah yes, the tens of thousands of 'interpreters'
Why did Afghanistan have so many interpretaters? Surely everyone was fluent in English considering so many thousands claim to have worked in this capacity.
Spot on.
Because their liars
We are supposed to believe thousands of them worked and helped the British? Ridiculous
What government doesn’t realise or it’s a scam by politicians and their business partners.
That the NHS workers they hire from abroad comes with 10 of their family members, making the Housing and NHS situation worse.
1. They need to provide accommodations for them
2. They have to provide NHS care adding more pressure and waiting list in the NHS.
NHS staff that come from abroad have to pay NHS surge charge to access NHS services. Accommodation provided to them is only for the NHS staff and if or when they bring their family over they have to find their own accommodation .
British people can’t afford own house and all this rubbish get accomodation ! Crazy !
Asylum seekers everything is free... and only working class taxpayers paying for them and yet they're struggling while working and not getting help...
How long did it takes for c4 to find those actual families with kids? Majority of illegal immigrants arrive everyday are young men! Not father, mother and kids!
Cry some more for me, sweetheart. 😭
Many have wives & kids whom they abandon.
It is not illegal to claim asylum.
@@bugsygoo It's illegal to infiltrate a country without permission.
They are all coward's
They're in hotels because there isn't enough housing, there isn't enough housing because the population has been increasing exponentially since 1997. The availability of rental properties are drying up due to Serco housing migrants in them, the hotels are overflowing and soon the barges and military bases will also be. Council's such as Shropshire and Cambridgeshire can buy up £600,000 houses for them, but spending tax payer money and removing more houses from the housing supply will only go so far with the average joe. The question is what next? When Britain runs out of places to put these people what next?
I can point to at least 12 lies in that whole paragraph.

Why can't Qatar take them in???
Ask al jazeera 😂😂😂😂
Also, most of these freeloaders have internet where they came from and probably saw documentaries about the world cup... Not that they are interested in working, but Qatar is not the place you'd want to work.
They were refusing to leave the hotels as it was more profitable than moving into private accommodation.
Who's profiting from accommodation
There's an Indian man who owns the Brittania hotels making 120 grand a day.
If the council offers you a property and you refuse it without providing a valid reason, they will discharge you from the duty to of care. You will then be asked to vacate the temporary accommodation. This is the case with not just refugees but British citizens also in temporary accommodation.
Yes, they'll say you're choosing to be homeless, even if the place they offer you is over 100 miles away.
@@davidz3879yep. That's what happens when an area is overpopulated. What do you expect from a small island with such a high population. If you are homeless and want help you go where one is available
@@jdizzle1779 That could mean moving a long distance from everyone they know.
@@davidz3879 yes it could. That's why relying on handouts should be a last resort but sadly these days it's not
@@jdizzle1779 There are many people who can't afford accommodation. The cost has increased greatly in recent years.

Or what 😊
Government should pay enough for this job to see British employees in NHS. Secondary, borders should be closed for illegal migration process. And last but not least, government should really know how to keep the balance between what they can provide to legal migrants, needs of British economy, and social benefits to the own people.
We are not a charity. They have to stand on their own feet.
Then stop invading their countries! Ffs
@@Marenqo nobody has invaded their countries.
@@Land-of-reason oh my, this one. Britain has invaded almost every country on earth, Afghanistan was among the most recent.
@@Marenqo that was a policing matter due to terrorism.
@@Land-of-reason Oh, so 13 years of occupation, leaving the country in a mess, does not constitute invasion? "Land of reason"? More like universe of irrational ignorance.
The real issue here is how much neo liberalism ruined this country - corpo tax avoidance, billions on useless PPE etc etc. The austerity choice context is COMPLETELY MISSING from this...
Spot On. No public housing built since the 70s to support a growing population. Shamefully low minimum wage. Constant austerity measures. Wake up people!
THIS IS WHY I WOULD NEVER WATCH C4 OR ANY MAINSTREAM MEDIA
So are alot of UK families whether they are black, white, brown or yellow the prob never ends....
I simply dont know why they expect 'an offer' of accommodation to be provided? Whilst in Temporary Accommodation, every family/individual should be searching and calling agent hourly to secure 'their own' accommodation. Supply is reducing and demand is massively increasing, so the dream of a 'perfect offer' does not exist.
Sadly at 1k pm for a bedsit and rent benefits capped to half that by councils there is no accommodation for anyone on benefits or the minimum wage.
Government made homelessness worse through the capping off how much they would pay towards rents in benefit.
They infact put more pressure onto social housing as private rent is high and benefits not welcome. Owners don't want to risk the shortfall in rent so discrimination to low earners or benefits
They should be deported to Afghanistan.
And face the Taliban
We owe these people NOTHING...Our government owes us answers.
I am sick of seeing my own people work for nothing and starve in their own homes while these lot play the victim card and call me racist when i want to look after my own people .
Why so many children if you are a refugee for such a long time?! Who does that.
There are loads of properties in areas such a Liverpool that are derelict, so why doesn’t the government renovate those empty homes instead of putting them up in hotels
Why? One word: tories
If the gov can’t help the British to get new homes how they will help the refugees. This is non sense situation. I feel sorry for this families.I seriously think the gov need to be honest about what British can offer to refugees who decide to enter the UK. I doubt people would accept to move in under this condition.
They didn't do it for homeless citizens the past 13 years, they aren't going to do it for asylum seekers.
Because British citizens should be housed instead. Wtaf
I have never understood why the NHS recruit health care workers from abroad. They should invest more in british people who want to work in health care.
Could be that the British people are a bit dangerous for the patients. 😉
That's the thing... there isn't enough British people who want to work in care... logical really
When I trained to be a nurse, there were only two British people on the entire course. British people weren't interested in that job and it's a myth that they magically might be.
Windrush made the NHS, it’s no different now
@@titteryenot4524But... having UK nurses that are serial killers helps brings the numbers of occupied beds down saving the NHS.
Even international students can bring 10+ family members over. All need housing, education and medical care.
U guys still giving money to monarks?

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME LETS LOOK AFTER THE BRITISH FIRST
Awful saying that’s why the world is like it is 😢
Thousands of ethnically British in same situation- and should get priority help and accommodation!
Well a was born in the UK homless now for 7 years had no help from local authorities that's uk don't why they keep coming here since brexit the uk is broken
they've already got homes back in Afghanistan send them back there
Antarctica, Iceland, Lithuania, Norway, Monaco, Portugal, Greenland, Netherlands, Scotland and Ireland.
Tony Blair needs to be on the spot, this psychopath needs to be held accountable for war in Afghan.
British citizens spend years and years on council lists and end up in squallor. They are 90% fighting age men! They have many neighbouring countries to go to, but they wont give them handouts. Strange eh
Time to go back then
They were offered flats but refused them
“Stopping the boats” LOL

The same applies to everyone, refuse an offer of accommodation and the council have discharged their duty to the individual. If they have been granted refugee status it's up to them to get on with it like the rest of us.

You turn down accommodation you don't get another
The complete mystery here is why some Charities such as the well respected RNLI got involved in this when it was very clearly a Government Issue to deploy the Border Force which is a Government Agency to deal with this issue of small boats arriving at UK shores
In the next few years we will probably start hearing about this too. Another scandal going under our noses no less.
What are you waffling about?
This is regarding the Afghans which arrived through the aid of the British government, when the British military withdrew from Afghanistan.
It's nothing to do with the small boats!
Those arrived through small boats, fall into different categories.
Did you even watch this video? 🤔😏😏😤😤😤
I guess the UK government should prioritize its people who are becoming homeless after the pandemic seeing them on many streets of London.
So what did they really expect houses, theres plenty Brits on the streets
I used to watch c4 a lot but not anymore. I can’t remember since when c4 becomes a channel supports everything our dumb gov does.
All the media are in cahoots with the government. You can’t trust them because they lie. You’d be better off not watching television.
Everything that is happening with the uncontrolled immigration is by design.
So are people who already livehere

Be happy that you have finally got your apartment, why talking about your friends that you left behind, do you know how many of the UK's people that are praying to get half of this?
And for those rejecting apartment all because of the location, i don't blame you at all, I'm an African, (NGA), but one thing I expect you to do is, when you first get into a country, check how the citizens are living before you start making complains about what you think you deserve best, it's very good to balance things for everyone to be happy.
I strongly believe that if this where to be your country, you won't offer half of what your are rejecting. APPRECIATION IS AN APPLICATION FOR MORE TO COME. be appreciative.

Welcome to britain...try living on the streets like thousands of unfortunate Britain's...why should afghans come before indigenous people .
We should remember that British soldiers died trying to make Afghanistan a decent place to live in for all - including women and girls. As far as I know there was no undertaking at the time to take in huge numbers of Afghans if our good intentions failed. We tried our best but that does not mean we are now responsible for those who want out of their failed state.
