How should the government solve this crisis? Let us know what it is like where you are!

Even if all the illegal migrants were moved out of the hotels this government would not put our own people in the hotels.

No wonder there is such anger at how badly our own people are being treated as opposed to how well invaders are treated by, criminally, entering our country illegally.

Basically the woman who left abusive relationship is homeless whilst her criminal ex is in prison with a roof over his head and 3 square meals a day. Wheres the justice in that? Sums this country up...

But there are plenty of money for migrants...

15 million a day for Illegals. Why are people not rising up in huge numbers. The UK is on the brink of complete collapse. 😢

Are native brits breeding more now than we did in the 80s/90s? I don’t think so! Statistically we are choosing to have smaller families and children much later. So how do we not have enough housing in 2024? Answer 1 - mass unregulated immigration. Answer 2 - local housing being brought by non locals and turned into HMOs or air BNBs for greedy landlords.

More taliban here than in Afghanistan and the government are housing them. Won't end well for any of us.

Made my blood boil seeing MY people struggle while all these boat jumpers are getting FREE accommodation and FREE funding, people like me will snap one day and take things into their own hands

I am so incensed I can’t watch this. This is an outrage, shame on ALL our politicians to allow this to happen.

I'm 64 and disabled/unable to work. I'm 'lucky' to live in a tiny council flat - but at least I have one, and have a roof over my head. I had to go to the local Pantry today. I don't drive and it's a struggle to get there. I haven't been for over 3 weeks because of the difficulty getting to and from there. It's very good as its £5 for the bus fare, + £5 for £20 worth of food - it's a Godsend. It takes me 4 to 5 hours for the round trip, due to the horrendous bus service (it'd take 40 minutes round trip in a car). I'm always very ill by the time I get home, and am wiped out for the next few days. 90% of the people who go there, are foreigners - they live within walking distance of the church where it's held. Today, they said we could have one extra 'luxury item' as its their 2nd year of being. Open. I was number 18 in the queue. EVERY foreigner came out, with their items, and large tubs of Quality Street chocolates, or 2 boxes of chocolates. When it got to my turn, I was given a small pack of low calorie 5 pack of cereal bars!!! There were tubs of chocolates available, but I was told 'they weren't for me'!!! Other English people had the same as me - the large boxes and tubs were only available to the foreigners!!!!!! I know this isn't anywhere near as awful as being homeless, but I just wanted to point out the truth of how us indigenous people are treated VERY differently to foreigners. It's despicable and latent.

How can you not blame immigration? Places like London and Birmingham are demographically changed. Where do you think those displaced natives fled too?

They would rather look after migrants instead of our own ,its insult

Grab a Sleeping and a tent?! When we can fill hotels with god knows who, from god knows where?! Vile.

This really is a complete Disgrace Shameless Government leaving people to Rot and starve to death Spending billions on illegal migrants in hotels This Is Britain's Shame and A black Stain on our Communities It Make Me Cry and my Heart feels so Sad

Maybe they're drinking and taking drugs because they have nothing else to live for.

Emigration problem… take care of your own people first 🙏🏻

The girl has CP ! Surely she and her family should be at the top of the list . WTH is going on

Criminalising those who are homeless just shows how evil this government is

It's just incredible to think that with the right people in charge, this country would be loaded, and not a single person who was capable of working would be out of a job or skint.

how dare you say its a failing on the uk the people were never asked about mass migration hundreds of thousands of families coming here is unsustainable as we have all been screaming at you for years now we reap what they sowed allowing this flood of people

If you're living on the street I imagine the need to get off your head and out of the vicious reality - through alcohol or other drugs - is a necessary coping mechanism.

I'm not in the UK but in the US. I am 67 years old and disabled. I have what in the UK would be called a pension and my deceased husband's military retirement. I live in an overpriced apartment (flat) for $1450./month. There are no windows to the outside so I never know if it's daylight or dark. My monthly Social Security cheque is $1500. I too am looking into finding an affordable bus or van to renovate into living quarters for one. I don't know how I'll do the renovations by myself at my age and disability but I know I cannot afford to pay to have it done even though I do know how to do it myself. I too live in a beach tourist area where the shop help and food service workers are paid minimum wage. I guess they have partners or family to live with. This was a basically affordable area where you could buy a small home that needed some work for $150K but that has more than doubled in six years. I despair for what the next generation will have to deal with but I am more concerned with getting through the remainder of my life with a roof over my head.

it's not a lack of housing, it's too many visitors.

These people a crazy … has nobody told that all you gotta do is swim out 100 yards into the sea , pretend you can’t speak English , put on a funny accent and say “me no understand, me scared, flee flee bad things” AND then you’ll be handed everything on a plate!!

I was homeless for two years. People don't realise how many just ended up there through bad times. I've seen many people that are pretty normal people become homeless that are now substance abusers or alcoholics. You try living like that without anything to numb it. Especially through winter. I have my own place again now and I'm moving forward but yeah, I did drugs and drank when I was homeless. It made it so much easier to deal with it. That's the reality of it. At first it's easier to deal with, then it starts to get at you. Then you start breaking down slowly and the harder it gets the more it gets at you making it harder still again. And then you get hit by winter which hits your body. You get through it. Move on. Get on with things. Then another winter starts approaching....

I live in filey in North Yorkshire , its a very small seaside village but every year we are inundated with holiday makers, we have huge static caravan parks all around us but so many houses now belong to second home owners so they have taken all the house that locals would be able to rent. They rent them out during the summer and they stand empty the rest of the year it's disgraceful we have businesses we own and kids in school etc but can't find a property to rent. The council need to stop people being allowed to buy second homes here , if they want a holiday home buy a bloody static home on the parks which are designed for that and leave our homes alone.

This is disgraceful. These people are on the streets but foreigners coming in dinghies are put up in hotels. Food, heating and clothes provided.

Big money from London purchasing lots of houses to rent out in holiday season shouldn't be allowed. I wonder how much is being claimed as expenses for these second homes that are being leased out in holiday season. What chance have locals got??? Affordable housing should be a priority for all councils. UK Boarders should be closed until we have our own house in order. Vetted migrants welcome only after we've sorted our own problems !!!!!

I weep blood over how we treat our own people.

Wait a minute. Outside of UK so may not understand. But do we not have a Duke and Duchess of Cornwall? And isn’t their £1.2B income from rents in Cornwall? Do they not own most of Cornwall as a private estate? What about the hardships in this documentary and the riches of this Royal family? Are you all liking this?

Should have arrived in a dinghy.

The charity woman who says 'we havent got many migrants here' - no you haven't because they are all in the 4 star hotels before being given a house above those who have being waiting years for one love thats why!

If this government wasn't wasting our money on hotel bills for boat people there would be money to help people like this shame on this government for putting the boat people first.

Live in sussex all coastal towns been left to rot.

Disgusting how could you let this family with disable kids leave like this.The govt should help first this family who needed help before thinking about immigrants priorities should be for people in this country.

We're giving Aid all around the world but we can't look after our own...

This is what our leaders have done bloody great ain’t it what a pit we have become

The council have someone with CP living in a bus........WTF?!?!

and migrants in hotels

As GDP increases the majority get poorer which us why it's a useless measurement of our economic success particularly as it's been artifically boosted by population increase via mass immmigration. When you hear the words 'we need to grow the economy' it simply means we need more immigration to boost GDP but without the necessary investment in infrastructure and housing.

That’s what happens when investors get involved in the housing sector ! A house should be a home not a bank account !

It could be argued in law that a holiday let is not residential but a business and therefore commercial and so open to be squatted.

Problem is most of the people banging on about the housing crisis are the same ones calling you a waycist just for having an opinion on immigration. Think long and hard about having kids in this country if you are lower level as your guarantee about being looked after by state is slowly eroding and as we see you will be below some immigrant just arrived in the pecking order of handouts.

I am a site foreman and we have just completed a 600 home newbuild site, all homes have gone to housing people from two local hotels!

Looking at these comments I can see that the British people know exactly what the problem is even though it wasn’t mentioned in the video, illegal immigration and government policy’s that favour this.

Everywhere the same, it’s shameful Greetings from Australia

Nothing more disturbing than poverty or having no compassion

I’m so ANGRY!

It's not the publics job to sort this, it's the fault of successive governments ignoring and failing to address the issue! Somehow we manage to house half the worlds dispossessed in 4 star luxury.

Second homes when your fellow countrymen have nothing. That’s filthy

This is why some local councils here in New Zealand introduced an Air B&B tax, to deter landlords in holiday locations from turning all the rentals into air B&B’s.

Your corrupt Gov is shocking

As a brit in florida same thing. Rents are so high people on streets with dogs and kids

Very sad ..once was great Britain ..put British people 1st..

I’m a fulltime wheelchair user, long term sick and homeless. There is a server lack of support and services and If any supoort or services they have so many barriers and hoops to jump through that make it impossible.

Same thing happening in Inverness. I used to live in Inverness 5 years ago before moving to Glasgow outskirts area. I was looking forward to move back to Inverness because I love Highlands, but having seen how the rents skyrocketed there I'm pretty much stuck where I am now. So many B&B, airnb, holiday rentals, second homes... whatever is there left to rent has London rents.

so the south west is more worried about net zero and 20mph speed limits. These people dont serve the people.

We have a housing crisis all over Australia now too. It’s a disgrace! Byron bay would be our equivalent of Cornwall ; plenty of luxury Air bnbs & high end motels. The rents have soared and locals now living in tents behind the beaches and councils come to rip them down every week. Terrible just terrible! Feel for the locals in Cornwall and right across England.

Yeh because all foreigners are taking all the accomodation !!

Accommodation costs have spiralled out of control while wages have largely stagnated.

It's horrendous in the UK for young folk these days. Looking back to 1991, my partner was pregnant and we got a mortgage on an old house for 22,000 pounds. I was a bus driver on 10,500 pounds a year. The mortgage was 110 pounds a month which was about 15% of my wages. My missus didn't need to work. Nowadays, a bus driver earns 3 times as much as I did in 1991, but house prices are 10-15 times as higher than 1991.... Now that's the problem!

I live in a similar tourist town in Australia and we also have a LOT of homeless and van dwellers. My theory is ban that awful awful air BnB. it has stripped so many residences out of the rental market into the holiday lets. SO many stand empty in between the seasons. Makes my blood boil. The flip side is there are other places not in this popular destination with lots of accomodation, but a lot of the young folk affected by this want to live here even though they realistically cant afford it.

This level of wholesale mismanagement cannot be accidental!!

How many landlords have sold off the properties out from underneath these renters? How many of these people were kicked out so that the landlords could make them into airbnb's? Airbnb has completely destroyed housing and no one wants to talk about it.

That poor girl Hanna , this is dispicable 😢

i live in a (formally nice) little uk village, i have found people living in cars and checked on them here before, if i told people they would be shocked but its just in local doctors car park, i see more campers/ mobile homes too, sometimes in a country lane..

The vastly overpopulated United Kingdom is in such a serious state of decline and decay in so many different areas and this mass invasion of immigrants is contributing detrimentally, negatively and massively to the myriad of problems we as a nation are now confronted with.

No help for the British homeless citizens yet no passport no id and viola -4 star hotel + 3 hot meals a day, mobile and money?

I worked with the homeless for 4 years and was homeless myself for 10+ years. Nothing has changed in decades, in fact its got a hell of a lot worse. I couldn't carry on in that sector because of the injustice i saw everyday, particularly immigrants being put up in hotels when our own people are literally left to rot on the streets 😔. Trust me when i say that this is only going to get worse, much worse.

I feel angry and heart broken for British people. why did the gov do that to its people?

It's not just immigrants,that's what they want you to think, what about the massive rents landlords are allowed to charge, the billions of tax money the government has given it's mates,the fact they have almost stopped building council or affordable houses etc

The way the government solve these issues is by putting bars across benches and signs saying “no sleeping” then its job done really

Build affordable housing and designated rental accommodation which can only be used by locals . They did with the last lot of housing association properties but that was a very long time ago here but it worked . I live outside Preston and they build here non stop, 1000's of homes BUT they're all executive homes and luxury properties and thats just not what is needed !

I think Buckingham palace has a few empty rooms.

I have a solution for this, tell all homeless people to try to get to france, if they get there then they should join the refugee/migrants on the dingys to come back to the UK if they make it back make sure they do not tell authorities they are british and then they should be able to find good accomodation.

...there but for the Grace of God! Can happen to ANYONE! Do not become complacent.

SHAME ON OUR GOVERNMENT FOR NOT LOOKNG AFTER OUR OWN PEOPLE. THE BOAT PEOPLE GET EVERYTHING, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

The girl in the blue tracksuit in the hotel that turned down one of the pods isn’t thinking straight! I would have jumped on one of those offers….Now they closed the door on her!! Good luck Cornwall. Same situation here in Canada🙏🏼🍀👋🏼🇨🇦

Homelessness is a massive problem everywhere. I left the wife last year due to domestic abuse & lived in a Mini for 3 months. I work & earn the most I've ever earned although it's only a bit above minimum wage. I could rent a 1 bed flat where I live for 3 weeks wages. The 4th weeks wage would hopefully cover the extortionate bills & fraudulent claims such as council tax but that's not a given. So, I work 50-60 hours a week to live in a box & rely on a food bank to eat with nothing left for any kind of pleasure whatsoever. Can someone, anyone, make that make sense to me??? What that is, is modern day slavery whith chains you can't see. While I lived in the mini I saved & bought a van which I now live in full time. I still work & it works for me. I love the way I live now but if anything happens to my van, I'll be street homeless, losing everything, again, for the 5th time! I don't do poor me, I just work hard to make my life how I want it to be & try to help others. If you see a homeless person speak to them. Acknowledge they are there ffs. The worst part of street homeless for me, is being invisible to the flag waving virtue signallers. You'll take in a Ukranian from a fake war but can't bare to even look at the homeless guy, sat freezing outside Tesco!

The man with the Bus has done an amazing job. Inspirational. I wish them all the best.

Dark side? You say it like it's news, the British have always been put last.

The Government and people need to to do more..like for god sake, give them free tents and supplies or something, get them out the wind and rain. What about them mobile homes that you can build in about 30 mins. They fold up to so they easy to build and take down.

Omg the uk prime minister and government should be ashamed of themselves

Torquay got to be the worst I've been to so far

People on the street, if the law to criminalize gets passed should be able to sue the council for not providing basic human necessities.

This is 14 years of torys.......disgust for the tories doesn't go far enough

I went to Leeds recently, have to say what an eye-opener. Many homless people scattered around the city centre. Some sleeping in bus shelters too. A far cry from the city I saw a few years ago.

How anyone can deny the link between our own citizens being homeless and immigration

I have been homeless before in the past i used to walk around with a suite case and walk around at night just trying to find somewhere too sleep at night and used get change my clothes in public toilets and wash my face in the sinks and beg everyday for a bite of change i have been thier and done that

Exactly those living there cornwall this is the truth so many walk about blind 😮 and judge 👨‍⚖️ i pray for all those who's heart ❤️ really wants to change from old circs to new lives with the willingness where support help guidance and most of all the love that should be there for them ..... i know and on many occasions had my own battles that have taken me what i would word hells knocking door. Thank you to all who have the heart ❤️ and passion to be apart of CHANGE in taking the misery away for genuine people who wish hope want & need a bit of help in opening spacific doors just like this one 🚪

My county in Scotland is currently subject to an huge amount of housing development. Council needs this as its the only way to get some social housing built and they get high council tax. Who can afford these new houses? Not me or anyone I know. They are being built on top of mines and on flood plains and our countryside is quickly disappearing. The new home owners seem obsessed with having a view of the nearby hills from their back garden. I guess losing good farmland, disturbing what remains of our ancient woodland , losing open, quiet spaces, putting even more pressure on stretched resources and changing the nature of communities is worth it for a view. Saying that, all of our farms seem to do better from farm shops and glamping than from farming. Its a sad state of affairs. Rents are extortionate and of course oin the rural part of the county it's all holiday accommodation. Air BnB started as a way for people to make income from a spare room, now it' s a nightmare.

Stop importing cheap labour. Stop minimum pay. Stop topping up minimum pay with universal credit . Encourage people to work. Reduce the tax burden. We all suffer the same inflation. So the same pay rises in pounds shillings and pence. Not by percent. . The pay gap has to be closer.

All the accommodation is for other

The lady that cooks for all those people is a saint. God bless her for the work she does. All this homelessness seems to be a problem everywhere now.

TalkTV, Subscribed because your videos always make me smile!

And the Solo Haus will be affordable for only £700 a month I’m sure

No barges or hotel rooms for Brits? According to reports the number of homeless in Cornwall is 'estimated' to be 1500. It is in all probability MUCH higher. 1500 people? That's just THREE DAYS worth of ARRIVALS. Can we TRULY not find a way to accommodate our OWN?!!! The real irony here is that although Cornwall is one of the Biggest Counties in the UK it has probably the LOWEST quota of Migrants, Refugees and Asylum seekers allocated to them!

Antony Taylors story is absolutely heart breaking.. I'm lucky to own my own house now but I was on the streets from 2006 to 20010...i had to move from Birmingham 30 mile down the road to Worcester to find the help I needed in shelters.

The margin the council make from pods and the margins private developers make is the issue.
