The refugees minister has appealed to councils to help house 10,500 Afghans currently living in UK hotels at a cost to the taxpayer of £1m a day.

Mohammad, who is in his 40s, said: "I want to settle and integrate but how can I when we are living in a hotel for months and months? I can't start my life properly." He says his wife of 20 years is struggling after sharing one hotel room between the four of them since September. Afghan families are being placed in temporary hotels until social housing can be found, according to the Local Government Association.

Afghan refugee on losing hope in North Yorkshire hotelAn Afghan refugee says she has spent 11 months in a hotel since coming the UK and is losing hope. Wow.... unbelievable While I do feel for the woman, she is at least in a hotel, paid for by the tax payers. Many of our children can’t afford to get on the housing market or rent a property. This country should prioritize our own first. MarkSteynOnline GBNEWS So they come here get house , fed money and they have the cheek to complain .

They don't identify as female and WOMEN identify as female. So where is the logic?
