First sensible thing a new labour minister has said in ages....
BBC NEWS | Politics | Call for migrant housing rethink
And it causes outrage (mostly by her own party members) immigrants and layabouts who have made no national insurance contributions should be sent to the bottom of the pile, whilst people who work and contribute into the system take priority
sounds like commonsense to me.
Already she is being urged to resign by left wing nutters

This is one thing that ***** me off, I pay 40-50% of my wages each week paying private rent and bills each week
whilst freeloaders are better off knocking out 3 kids+ claiming disability (not forgetting that nice mobility car) and still take home more than me. After all its their "right to have kids"

"She was also criticised for saying, before the council elections in 2006, that as many as eight of 10 white families were tempted to vote for the British National Party. The BNP went on to become the second largest party on Barking and Dagenham council. "
Just sounds like she can see what is going on, and she was right.
When reading that article, I wondered how long it would be before I read the word "Racist". I didn't have to wait long
If anyone doesn't toe the "we should embrace everyone" line, they are immediately deemed a racist.
I am therefore a Racist.

"In February 2000 the Parliamentary standards watchdog Elizabeth Filkin was requested to investigate allegations of undisclosed payments to Vaz from businessmen in his constituency.[1] The following year, 2001, members of the opposition began to question what role Vaz may have played in helping the billionaire Indian Hinduja brothers - linked with a corruption probe in India - to secure UK passports.
In March 2001, the Filkin report cleared Vaz of nine of the 18 allegations of various financial wrongdoings, but Elizabeth Filkin accused Mr Vaz of blocking her investigation into eight of the allegations. He was also censured for one allegation - that he failed to register two payments worth £450 in total from Sarosh Zaiwalla, a solicitor whom he recommended for an honour several years later.
Mrs Filkin announced in the same month a new inquiry which would focus on whether or not a company connected to Vaz received a donation from a charitable foundation run by the Hinduja brothers. The results of the inquiry were published in 2002 and it was concluded that Vaz had "committed serious breaches of the Code of Conduct and a contempt of the House" and it was recommended that he be suspended from the House of Commons for one month[2]".
Why even listen to the guy????

especially as she is advocating helping low income black & asian families who have lived here for years, makes you wonder if Mr Vaz can actually read
god help anyone trying to support a rational or electorial majority view, these days, what next all 3rd & 4th generation non-whites get re-classified as far right racists................

I wonder what Brown will have to say about this, nothing i suspect!
It makes perfect sense, would stem the flow of immigrants and go a long way to addressing the feelings of injustice and unfair treatment of a lot of the UK's population.
If Cameron picked up on this he would have a sure-fire winner!

He'll be scared stiff of the minority who seem to have the biggest/loudest voice. And what will they voice? The word `Racist`.
The media coverage would be horrendous, and we'll have to suffer weeks of News programs having interviews with the `Political correctness brigade` calling for him to be sacked/hanged/fed to the Tigers.
He'd get my vote. Mind you for the first time in my voting life, he's getting it anyway.

It should be illegal not to prioritise over immigrants and that is partly why there is so much animosity and so many immigrants! The UK is seen as an easy touch, why else head across mainland Europe to getr to the UK?!?

It's obviously an emotive issue. I can see both sides of the argument to honest.
Whilst it can do nothing for community relations to have immgrants "jumping" the queue for housing, at the same time, you cannot have a housing system built on length of residence, it always has to be based on need.
Of course Livingstone is right about one thing, in the South East particularly, there is simply not enough housing.

Even if this is introduced it is still around 7 years too late, people mention the lack of housing, i wonder how bad it would be with say 50% of the immirgrants with 7 or less years in the UK left the UK or where never let in in the first place...

As for more housing in the SE - what would happen if we suddenly didn't have large numbers of legal/illegal immigrants that need housing? Like that family of 20-odd Romanies in Slough? What about supporting married families instead of favouring single parents? But no, that would discriminate against minorities wouldn't it?????
Sorry, but I vote on policies that affect me and not to have my hard earned taxes spent on Johnny Foreigner to live off of! The main two parties don't seem to get this and can't understand why UKIP/BNP etc are getting more and more voters ....

Ah yes, old Vaz .... from Wikipedia:
"In February 2000 the Parliamentary standards watchdog Elizabeth Filkin was requested to investigate allegations of undisclosed payments to Vaz from businessmen in his constituency.[1] The following year, 2001, members of the opposition began to question what role Vaz may have played in helping the billionaire Indian Hinduja brothers - linked with a corruption probe in India - to secure UK passports.

He was also censured for one allegation - that he failed to register two payments worth £450 in total from Sarosh Zaiwalla, a solicitor whom he recommended for an honour several years later.
Mrs Filkin announced in the same month a new inquiry which would focus on whether or not a company connected to Vaz received a donation from a charitable foundation run by the Hinduja brothers. The results of the inquiry were published in 2002 and it was concluded that Vaz had "committed serious breaches of the Code of Conduct and a contempt of the House" and it was recommended that he be suspended from the House of Commons for one month[2]".

Rannoch,
Do you really think that the Turquoise Chameleon is worthy of that much support?

And here's another pillock from Nu Labia comparing Hodge's comments to the BNP ... BBC NEWS | Politics | Johnson slams Hodge 'BNP' remarks
"Cabinet member Alan Johnson has accused industry minister Margaret Hodge of using the language of far-right BNP. He said he did not agree with her comments about British families having a "legitimate sense of entitlement" to priority in social housing allocation"
If that is what the guy really thinks then he shouldn't be anywhere near Parliment. These cretins are meant to look after the electorate - not Johnny Foreigners interests over our own in OUR country in OUR housing!
And they wonder why the BNP/UKIP etc are getting more votes??? They are so far out of touch it's unbelievable.

her view is fair! no body like a que jumper anywhere in life. And that is what they are doing. They did not NEED to come here, they chose to as most as it is a easy ride where they get everything for nothing!!! Did you know immigrants can get £3000 to buy a car to travel to work!!!! i had to work and save for my car, while they get given one. Then the usual new mobile phone, sky tv.... i dont even have sky as cant afford it. They money we are throwing at immigrants is rediculous, and who is paying for it! average joe who works and payes his taxes.
