Hove MP slams Brighton squatters (From The Argus)

• "There is no housing shortage in this country. There are hundreds of thousands of empty homes in other parts of the country, available at affordable prices or to rent.
  What these people are looking for is a low cost or free home in the most expensive part of the EU.
  And until recently, it was perfectly possible for a family from anywhere in the world to turn up at the local authority with a **** and bull story and expect to be rehoused at taxpayers' expense. Any attempt to house them outside the South East being bitterly contested. Meantime, local folk are unable to find anything affordable because of this queue jumping. Squatters are the least of the problem."
