The other thing the Telegraph said

Tuesday, 14 July 2009 14:13

I just checked out the Telegraph story, and while they did indeed report the EHRC story without comment, they also published an article 'Immigration and Housing: is it a myth?' which concludes, "Each year about 550,000 foreign nationals arrive in Britain to stay and work for a year or more. Many are on short term work contract. Those who plan to stay longer or are asylum seekers are usually the worse off and tend to settle in areas where there is already an impoverished settled community. On the IPPR figures that is about 55,000 foreign national who are competing with local people for scarce housing. The fact that five years later they are entitled to this housing because they are able to apply for residency does not lessen the resentment of local people, however cleverly the statistics are used. The issue is not that newcomers get favourable treatment and jump the queue. Whether reasonably or not, many local people resent that they are in the queue at all and, consequently, are in competition directly with other poor people. The Government says the real problem is a shortage of housing; it could equally be argued that there are just too many people."
