A Home Office policy of removing EU citizens found sleeping rough on UK streets is unlawful and must stop, the High Court has ruled.

[mikey4444]

Well Emmie, if that is what the Court rules, so be it.

[Hopkirk]

Hopefully Brexit will make a difference.

[Jackdaw33]

Not to worry. Only a year or so to go then we can get rid of the lot. Another good reason for voting Brexit.

[emmie]

shame that this is allowed to go on, better they go home than live on the streets.

[Hopkirk]

Not if they're already here, Jackdaw.

[emmie]

the government aren't best pleased.

[naomi24]

These will be all those doctors and nurses and highly qualified people that this country can't do without then?

[emmie]

likely they are chancer's or some who had jobs and lost them, pity we can't pack them on planes. What is the point of being cold and possibly hungry, better to go home i would have thought.

[Cloverjo]

So, be cold and hungry in an even bleaker country?

[naomi24]

Doubtless most of them have family in their own country, Cloverjo. Keep it realistic.

[mikey4444]

Can anybody on here think what it must be like to have to live and sleep on the streets at this time of year ?

[emmie]

if they have family they must miss them, i know i would.

[hereIam]

Must be horrendous.

[emmie]

at any time of the year, but better be with your kin than sleeping in doorways.

[emmie]

if they come over for work then they should be able to find a job and some place to live. But our streets are not paved with gold as some seem to think, its a hard life and i think better to be at home.

[mikey4444]

Emmie....we have no idea of who these people are. Some may have families and some may just be like a lot of our own home-made rough sleepers.....alone and friendless.

But the situation remains that the Court has found the Home Office at fault.

[New Judge]

"Can anybody on here think what it must be like to have to live and sleep on the streets at this time of year ?"

No. And I wouldn't go to Poland or Bulgaria to find out.

[fender62]

ahh but they await free housing and benefits, human rights and all that...thats why a lot come here, illegals included, meanwhile if your a native brit, do not get ill or old...but hey keep paying your taxes to keep those who have paid in nowt.

[emmie]

if British lads were dossing on the streets of Sofia or Paris, wouldn't they be shipped out pretty quick.
