Innit. But let's be real. We all know the subtext is why are you helping foreigners (black and brown people) over 'our own', white folk.
I don't know the poster's posting history or if he later shows himself (in this thread) to be a racist but I do know that i hate it when people put words in other people's mouths.
BTW, Whose assumption is it that the UK's homeless is mainly white?

As to this Daily Mail type question of whether UK homeless are somehow more deserving of a home than foreign homeless...
Do we somehow have homeless people who are somehow superior by dint of being british? And therefore more deserving?
Or have they had it harder and are therefore more deserving?
Or is it that do we just not consider ourselves part of the world, the planet and so its not our problem? Despite the fact the disportionate allocation of the planet's resources is one of the reasons behind migration. We're on the side that has it good at the expense of those that don't. Any wonder that people want to switch sides?
I don't believe in judging groups of people as a whole as that excludes numerous individuals who may or may not buck the cliches. But if we must go that route i'd say that percentage wise i'd give the foreigners a higher chance of not pissing a charitable chance up the wall.
In an ideal world everyone should be given chances but in a world with limited chances do we really means test, aptitude test or is it maybe just as fair to make a lottery of it so that a cross section all have the hope of a chance?
We'd all personally want the hope of the chance if it was us here at home or us there abroad.
