Very true, I doubt the the recent change of being able to deport migrants who are sleeping rough will actually have much of an effect.

Unless we start using hadrians wall as a border again

It might, but since the early 70s many rich countries have introduced lots of 'deterrent' laws and there's no evidence that it's made any difference at all to immigration levels.

Maybe even as a vagrant, London is better - warmer climate, better begging? A bit like how American homeless migrate to the Californian coast

But I love watching them deny its the truth then point out the graph has 'crown copyright' emblazoned across it.

Who?

We keep saying V, don't quote the DM, quote the BBC/Guardian. The opposition don't have such an easy answer then.

Dramatic rise is blamed on housing crisis and benefits cuts

I kinda guess that is not the reason.

It might serve as a better deterrent if they did show what life could possibly be like here.

No. 1 - as it says 'unrecorded.' So there is no actual proof, just heresay. Even in the article they can't prove it so its a bit misleading...
No. 2 - I've known homeless British people to live on these as well

Still, a leftie liberal media doing the UKIP's and DM's (i.e. rumour mongering) work for them shows a change in attitudes, possibly
