4.5 hours it’s taken me to get from Manchester to Watford tonight by train. This country is absolutely fucked, can’t remember the last train journey that wasn’t delayed? Horrendous. When is anyone going to do anything about it
@AvantiWestCoast hey what’s going on with the trains - my child needs to get home from Birmingham - no trains to PKG or Hednesford - what time is the next Wolverhampton one please - lots of delays. #anxious
@AvantiWestCoast It is quite bad that she couldn’t get on her scheduled train or to pkg at this time of night - where is the duty of care? #mentalhealthmatters ffs
Why This Feels Like a Kick in the Teeth – A Local Dad's View on the Stoke Heath Housing Madness
My name's Dave. I'm 38, born and raised round here in Shropshire. I work a manual job – long days on the tools, building sites, fixing stuff, whatever pays the bills.
My wife works too, part-time when she can, but looking after our two kids comes first. We've been on the council housing list for over four years now. Four fucking years of filling in forms, chasing up, living in a cramped rental that's costing us a fortune and never feels like home.
The kids share a room, we're saving every penny, and every time something breaks or the landlord puts the rent up, we wonder how much longer we can keep going.
Then I hear about the new estate down the road in Stoke Heath. Nice new-build houses, £250,000 each, 21 of them. We thought, finally – some decent family homes for people like us who've waited our turn. People from round here, paying taxes, working hard, part of the community.
Turns out they're handing them over to 83 illegal immigrants instead. One family's already moved in. Brand new houses, nice finish, in our village. And we're still fucking waiting.
I can't even describe how pissed off that makes me. Not that I don't have sympathy for genuine cases, but against a system that looks at my kids and says "sorry, not yet," while rolling out the red carpet for people who've come here illegally.
We've got over 1.3 million households across England on waiting lists. People like me, veterans, young families, pensioners who've paid in all their lives. And we're told there's no stock, no new builds, nothing.
Yet somehow there are 21 shiny new ones for these asylum cases coming off the back of illegal arrivals.
What a load of bullshit.
This is a small village.
Limited shops, buses are a pain, the GP surgery and school are already stretched. Dropping 83 people in here – families, we assume – isn't going to be easy on anyone. Locals are worried about services, about safety, about not knowing who these folks are or where they've come from.
They bang on about risks from social media to our kids, but this just makes that sound stupid when you've got unvetted people who came here illegally dumped right on our doorstep.
One neighbor put it straight: we're not against helping people, but four families might be manageable.
This feels like dumping a big group on us without asking. I'm terrified for my own kids and the estate.
It doesn't feel fair at all.
I've worked hard my whole adult life. Paid my taxes. Never asked for much.
My wife and I just want a stable home for our family, somewhere the kids can grow up safe, with a bit of space. Four years waiting.
And now I see new houses going to people who came here illegally, claimed asylum, and get housed by the Home Office because the hotels are too expensive. Fair enough, hotels cost a fortune – billions apparently – but why the fuck not build more for us first?
Why use these new ones for illegal arrivals?
It feels like two-tier Britain. British families with roots here, "British heritage" as some call it, pushed to the back.
While the government talks about cutting hotel bills by moving them into proper houses. Serco or whoever just buys them up for the contract.
No proper chat with the parish council or locals. Our MP, Mark Pritchard, has been raising hell about it, and good on him.
The Home Office even said afterwards that new-builds "should never" be used for this – too late for us though.
I'm not some extremist. I get that some are fleeing real trouble. But the numbers are huge, the system's broken, and it shouldn't come at the expense of our own people.
We've got a housing crisis that's been building for decades. Instead of prioritizing the people already here paying in, it feels like we're importing more pressure through illegal entries.
My kids deserve better. Every local family waiting deserves better. This is our country, for fuck's sake.
And this isn't just happening here in Stoke Heath – it's happening everywhere in the UK.
Councils all over the place are doing the same thing, sticking illegal immigrants and asylum seekers into new or social housing while British families rot on waiting lists.
This isn't just about 21 houses in Stoke Heath. It's about priorities. Fix the asylum backlog properly – quick decisions, send back the ones who don't qualify.
Build way more homes actually for British families on the lists. Consult communities before dumping big changes on them. Stop making hard-working people like me and my wife feel like second-class citizens in our own fucking country.
All we can do now is vote out the councilors and politicians who didn't give a shit about their own people and put in people who do.
I'm tired of it. A lot of us round here are. We just want a fair go for our families. Is that too much to ask?
