Mikey, if they've nothing to come to they don't have to come here. Maybe they, like many others, have heard the streets of this country are paved with gold. Must be such a disappointment.

And getting the "Brit" kicked out of em Emmie.

We don't know why they are here or why they are in that position, as we don't with 'native' rough sleepers, and the sad fact is that we can do nothing to 'encourage' them to go back home. Who knows sleeping rough at Christmas may be better than home!!

However it just shows why we need control of who comes in and under what circumstances they are able to stay.

I thought we were told the other day that it is possible (in the EU) to send those without jobs home it is just the UK chooses not to do it.

Is that not true then?

ymb seems not going on the link...

[emmie]

surely its better to be in the warm with their families than dossing on our wet, cold streets, i know what i would do and that is pack up and leave,

[pastafreak]

Emmie...if that was the case, then why are there so many rough sleepers...both migrants and our own? Why are numbers going up? Even our own *might* just *might* find a sofa to sleep on for Christmas, but most don't. And that's just local. Imagine finding the ways and means to get back to your own country. Also, many do come looking for work. As far as I know, they are allowed to stay for 3 months as long as they are actively looking for employment. But the work on offer is usually casual and cash in hand. It's therefore not recorded and not official. They become part of a hidden society then as they may want to stay but are not considered to be employed. Some may never find work...and some resort to drink. Of course there are those who may have been drinkers before they came. But living on the streets changes most...both migrants and our own.

pasta we should offer them a plane ticket home, its the least one can do.

If sleeping on the streets of the UK is preferable to living in a house/flat from their own EU country ... then there is something seriously wrong with the EU.

one of the reasons that this came to light on BBC news was that many of these guys come for work, get that work, then can't afford the high rents in London, which is no surprise to me at all.
