Reconsider council housing rules

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

prioritize people whose been in the UK whole lives rather than those from other countries. stop taking new applicants of those not British born. Why take on more families when you cant look after your own, if tables where turned would they help us? I think not so I say we speak up for our rights!
Daily mail headline on 18 Feb 2016
Jobless Somali refugee family who have not worked since arriving in the UK in 2008 are rehoused from their £2m Hampstead council house - into a £1.3m one around the corner

Now tell me where priority is! This is only one part of evidence to support my case.
