Finally a bit of common sense from someone in government. At work there is a lot of talk about politics and the stupid things that we see done. None of us do anything about it of course – primarily because we feel we can’t, I suspect. Even voting turnout is apathetic at best amongst us.

But now, Margaret Hodge has said something that I completely agree with. Reported in the BBC:

Established British families should be given priority over economic migrants for council housing, government minister Margaret Hodge has said.

She has called for a rethink of social housing policy, to take account of length of residence, citizenship and national insurance contributions.

Well duh! We see how people emigrating here get new houses, free food, free money and so on. It’s disgusting. We should also cut down immigration to a trickle IMHO. Those jobs they get – let those who suck money off the government work for a living instead of giving it to immigrants.
