LT is 1,000% CORRECT - you are basing your 'argument' on a 'Click-Bait' article that does not mean ZILCH as far as any genuine 'Premise' is concerned.

It is also highly presumptuous and WRONG to declare that ANYONE is 'fixated' on 'IMMIGRATION' just because they may mention it as a 'CONTRIBUTORY FACTOR' because LOGICALLY and OBVIOUSLY it is a contributory factor.

In fact, it is those who WILL NOT CONCEDE any type of link between IMMIGRATION and a rise in this country's HOUSING Crisis and HOMELESS problem who have a 'fixation' and are 'Pushing' their 'Agenda' - and that is a 'fixation' on being perpetually in a state of 'Denial' about FACTS which DO NOT support their 'Argument'.

I really would rather you didn't waffle... I can't get to the crux of what your point is due to your odd posting style.

Immigration has nothing to do with the reduction in council funding, it did not remove the ring fencing at either. The funding streams are distinct, being two very different departments with very different requirements.

Whatever the source the reduction in funding since 2010 remains a fact, wherever it's reported that figure will not change. You can ague with me, or what you deem to be a left wing source, but you can't argue with the figures, they remain constant.

It is a valid and reasonable debate for this section I'm not however forcing anyone to participate, I feel LT s comments were unnecessary and invalid and not worthy of response, whether you do or not is of no consequence to me.

You are the one who is pushing an agenda here, should you wish to discuss immigration be my guest however please don't force the issue on a thread specifically created to question the government and their failings to adequately fund resources for the homeless.
