Government caught out lying again

A few weeks back (on 21 May) the Government stated that only one per cent of social housing is given to immigrants this was in an attempt to quell widespread fears that they are treated better by local authorities than people born in Britain. Now I read that "after an investigation by ITV's Tonight With Trevor McDonald programme, the Government has admitted that 200,000 of Britain's social homes - five per cent of the total - were given to immigrants last year." If the Government wants to give 5% of social housing to immigrants at least they should be honest about it, although I suppose that is a bit much to hope for from this bunch of compulsive liars.
