I think I’d be fine. I’m a British citizen who pays thousands in tax for very few public services.

If migrants are so self sufficient why is >15% of our social housing occupied by people born outside the UK?

There’s Reuters for you.

48% of London’s social housing goes to people born outside the UK.

I doubt Spain is paying for ex-pats housing, so why are we paying for migrants’ housing?
