A lot of people don't care about all this. They just don't want to be governed by a party that keeps accommodating foreign men that gang rape ten year olds, while homeless British men are given a tent and a sleeping bag.

A lot of people do. The rabid cult of Nigel lot won't care but I still have faith the majority see Farage and Reform as the grifting corrupt scum they are.

I disagree,
According to a YouGov Poll the top concerns of the UK electorate centre primarily on the cost of living, immigration, and the management of public services. The top topic is immigration. So I am curious to know how they are addressing it?
The number of HMOs in my town (pop 26,500) is burgeoning rapidly. What really hacks off the local tradespeople is that they are using government funded contractors to do the modification work to the properties. So local tradespeople are getting sidelined. This is an area of high unemployment where people want to work.
We now have young men wandering around the town centre at all hours where there were none before. Our community foodbank now has a queue around the block on the days it opens and doesn't get enough donations to serve everyone. Some of these men get aggressive, so some of the volunteers won't serve them and the days have been reduced from 5 to 3.
One migrant was able to walk along the roofspace in a row of (now HMO)terrace houses and tried to enter the home of a single mum with a child, via a hatch - she was terrified.
Our MP (Labour) has been asked repeatedly to have a meeting with concerned members of the public and Town Councillors but has refused to see anyone.
Please don't tell me "it's wearing thin now" because it is certainly wearing thin with residents here.
As far as I am concerned no-one here is being listened to or have even been acknowledged as having an issue.
We have already had one empty property set on fire in the town and vandalism occurring regularly.
All they have done is "kick the can down the road" and moved migrants from hotels to HMOs.
So I would be pleased to know how you think the government is "addressing it"?

I work in the area with the highest number of HMOs nationally. A British man who presents to the council as homeless and isn't seen as high priority (in reality, the majority) will literally be given a tent and a sleeping bag.

There are homeless people begging at the lights opposite both of the migrant hotels I see daily.

MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack · 05/09/2026 21:15

You'll be delighted with the current PM's pledge to end rough sleeping then.

People are not homeless because of asylum seekers. No matter how hard you might try to draw a connection between the two.

Florenceeiderduck · 05/09/2026 21:16

So more people are leaving UK than arriving.
OK, so what skill sets are arriving and what skills are leaving? Do we know?

People cn care about homelessness and asylum seekers.

Reform are not interested in tackling homelessness.
They prefer taking foreign money,

But why wasn't there a 'rabid cult' in years past? 🤔 It's almost as if there's a pressing societal issue driving this unprecedented support. And let's not pretend that there aren't thousands upon thousands of Reform supporters. Many times the number of the thugs who are always conveniently focused on.

I'm not a fan of Farage but it's clear that a lot of these virtue signalling lefties are totally blinkered. I work in the construction sector with a lot of self employed men that are one workplace injury away from being unable to work and being given a tent and sleeping bag. I'd be terrified if I was in that situation! Thankfully as a woman it's unlikely I'd be left roaming the streets were I ever unable to pay my rent.

Stop making stupid posts that mean nothing and just show your bias.
If you can't contribute anything worthwhile to this thread maybe you should stop posting.
Reform has policies on both those topics.

Did anyone tell Reform's head of policy Orr?

Or Jukes, Farage?

Really?
There are only so many places in a hostel.
If they are taken up with failed asylum seekers what do our people do?

The existence of genuine grievances doesn't make the people exploiting those grievances any less of a cult of personality.

And nobody is denying Reform has support. That's precisely why Farage and the people around him deserve scrutiny, rather than every criticism being deflected into "but asylum seekers".

How should I know ? - I don't work for Reform, go ask someone else

It’s amazing how many Reform voters have recently developed such deep concerns about issues like homelessness, veterans’ mental health and the safety of women and girls.

The problem is that most of these people are not in any sort of public facing role. They’re advisers who lurk in the background. They can “step down” from one role, but will probably just pop up in another similar sort of job behind the scenes and we’ll all be none the wiser.

They haven’t. They just use it to bash asylum seekers despite there not being a connection. If we had no asylum seekers they wouldn’t care about the other issues at all.

Asylum seekers arent in homeless hostels. Different budgets, different issues. We use a chunk of the overseas aid budget to fund asylum hotels. And the need is decreasing because the backlog is being cleared.

They have powerful backing as well, especially from the US.

@HandPulledNoodles You honestly believe that people want to be governed by a party that imports sexual perverts and rapists ? Really? SMH
