My wife was "born abroad" she's spent the last 20 years here working and bringing up our children.
My Father was "born abroad" in NY as it happens and came and worked all his life in Britain.
His mother was Canadian again she spent most of her life workg and living here.
This idea that you and the Mule have that people "born abroad" are un worthy foreigners is pretty despicable.
I have a strong sense that you would judge my wife differently if she'd been Indian rather than Irish too!

Daily Mail playing around with figures that can be blown apart pretty quickly.
The report states:
"Although some boroughs did not record tenants’ nationality, making it impossible to scrutinise who is at the top of the queue, on average 11 per cent of new social housing lets in London went to foreigners"
Now..seeing as a third of Londoners are born abroad:

That mean that British born Londoners are getting a very fair deal.

When I see the amount of foreign people going in and out of the new social housing site which has just been built on the old prefab site across the road I am inclined to believe the proportion is much higher than stated. Lovely houses with all mod-cons including solar panels on the roofs. Now known as Little ******* to the locals. I cannot put the name for fear of being called racist.

I supposed you've interviewed these people and ascertained that they're been born abroad?
Don't worry about being referred to as a racist. As long as you can see through the ignorance of other and see people simply as people, regardless of their ethnicity, no-one would regard you as racist.

AOG- "Everyone pays taxes VAT for example, are you saying that resident British people who have contributed in some way into the national pot, should share the social housing stock with some who have just happened to arrive in this country? "
If by British people you mean jobless, baby making machine Chavs, then yes I do.
Incidentally, I do realise that i'm generalising the British people who have or waiting for a social house- but im just using an extreme example for playing devils advocate ;-)
