Closed I want veterans to be treated better than migrants and political refugees.

Closed on

I've seen and spoken to many homeless guys who have turned out to be ex service personnel who in many cases due to no fault of their own are now homeless. Yet a migrant/asylum seaker can be house almost immediately.
Yet you are British so wait.

The armed services don't care once your 22 years service is done its hand in your ID and good bye.
For some there is a pension and pay out but The vast majority never completed 22 years service and have to wait until pensionable age. Some never make it
We need to put ex service Men, Women all veterans who are homeless before migrants/asylum seekers. If you have served your country it should serve and protect not leave you on the streets.
Maybe they should apply for asylum for a better life.
