Disgusting.
Andrea Lewis, cabinet member for next generation services, said: "You can't help but to be moved and horrified by footage on the news of refugees risking their lives to escape war and persecution for better lives.
What a gullible idiot.

I wouldn't call it disgusting Dai but I'd guess there's currently a lot of people in Swansea that have been waitng a long tome for a house. |  |

There are in excess of 4,000 local couples on the waiting list. Official indifference to our own people is what "moves" and "horrifies" me. |  |

Who needs a house more? Somebody fleeing a wartorn country currently living in a tent, or someone who currently lives in one but wants a better/cheaper/more convenient one.
The bile on the comments on that article are beyond depressing. I rather hoped this city was better than this. And all for a paltry one house a year.
This shouldn't be confused with the general lack of social housing in this country, a situation only likely to get worse under this current government. There's the real crime, whereas the argument gets spun so that the poorest in society fight amongst themselves. |  |

Very good sir. Nothing to disagree with there.
Though I would add locals on the waiting list,especially priority cases should be given first consideration.
There are a lot of disused buildings that could be put to good use and cheaply...it won't be perfect but a lot better than from where they came from.

You have one plate of food. Do you feed your hungry child or give it to somebody else two thousand miles away who may be hungry too. There's just the one plate, who gets it? | |

Anyone else seeing black humour here.......Car crime still rife, people pretending to be comatosed and disabled, drunkeness aplenty, drug dealing, people being killed in city centre by ludicrous road systems.....Welcome to Swansea a real home from home I would have thought!!!! |  | | |

Not an appropriate analogy really. A better one would be having 2 plates of food to feed your hungry child. 1 plate is enough for them, so the second is a luxury. Would you rather stuff your child's face or give the second plate to someone else who is starving? |  |

Oh yeah that's the obesity crisis they refugees will walk into.....yes there may well be 2 plates of food but Penlan Polly will have gobbled them both up regardless of whether her kids have eaten.....hang about the food will probably have been nicked by Treboeth Tim. | | | |

A council or government is only responsible for looking after their own citizens and taxpayers.
Perhaps you and Andrea could personally house a couple of families yourselves?
After all they're more in need than you.
Or would you just rather other people paid for your own wonderful, humane, caring attitude. | |

Good question.....also who would like some Syrians moving in next door?
I've a spare room ...but the answer would be NO.
My next door neighbour is a r*ght tw*t so a Syrian might be an improvement. |  |

Let me put it like this then: the council list is largely composed of young families, most on low to minimum wage who are unable, for obvious reasons, to come up with enough money to buy a home of their own so they have to live with the in-laws. That's nobody's idea of ideal. So there they wait working, paying their taxes. Doing their bit.
4,000 couples. That's 8,000 locals waiting for a chance of a family life of their own. Add in a guess at the number of children they may already have and that sends the figure soaring way above the 10,000 arabs Cameron has vouchsafed. Those figures are just for this little area, if you start to extrapolate nationally you get a real sense of the scale of the politicians betrayal. | |

You're obviously an intelligent person, so I'm surprised you missed this part of the article:
"The type of properties being looked at are two to three-bedroom homes that have no waiting lists, meaning there will not be an impact on local families waiting for homes." | |
