Immigrants housed in luxury while former soldiers sleep on the streets

Taxpayers in London are paying £1600 a week to keep a family of Somalis in a luxury home.

The house has six bedrooms and is occupied by the woman, her mother and seven children. The woman's husband and another child are living in a different house in Camden. His house is also paid for by the taxpayer.

The rent being paid on the house is said to be more than the going rate.

The Somalis originally lived at the taxpayers' expense in Maida Vale, but were moved to the larger house because of the number of children they had.

Now contrast this with the fact that many BRITISH ex-servicemen end up homeless and sleeping on the streets when they leave the Forces. Why can't the houses provided for immigrants be set aside for our own people? Is there any wonder that we are the dumping ground for the world when foreigners see that if they come to our country they will be provided with a home, money and all bills paid whilst we leave our own people sleeping in cardboard boxes?
