That 'priority' clearly doesn't prevent so many of them winding up sleeping rough does it. Physically fit younger males don't tend to get elevated to the top of many 'priority' lists. Maybe what's on offer to them either isn't sufficiently well communicated or maybe they feel they're better off sleeping rough than in a hostel. Quite probably there are people who're above them in the list of 'priority' cases - e.g. elderly, women, disabled. There are only so many places available after all. In any event my point was about those who publicly offer charity to people from around the globe whilst apparently overlooking the needy closer to home.

I'd be a bit happier about allowing hundreds of thousands of people into the UK every year if we were managing to look after those who are already here and had the services to cope with the influx. We clearly don't and can't keep up.
