Another story like the last. The Govnt (sorry the tax payer) will give Southend Council £2m to house ‘refugees’ but the Council will have to match it with £2m of its own - while already anticipating a £7.3m budget deficit for this year. Here’s an idea: the Govnt should start a register of tax paying citizens who want us to have more refugees & migrants. Those registered will sign a legal contract to house, feed & clothe the refugees/migrants until they can afford to house, feed & clothe themselves. Let’s see how many peoples money match their mouths. https://www.echo-news.co.uk/news/23342278....
