🇬🇧 British Army veteran commits suicide after he was refused social housing by a local council while migrants were given hotel rooms paid for by the taxpayer!

Rob Homans always wanted to be a soldier. A promising footballer as a youngster, he turned down scouts from Birmingham City so he could join the forces.

By the time he was 19, he was off for his first tour of Afghanistan. At 21, he went on his second Afghanistan tour.

Last August Rob Homans committed suicide after the Worcester City Council refused to give him housing and help him get back on his feet after a messy divorce.

Before he committed suicide, Rob Homans told his mother after being offered social housing in a drug-infested area:

'The system is just broke mum, look.' And he pointed over to these two guys that were sleeping in the doorway, and they were veterans too.

'I've got nothing against any section of the community. All I'm asking for is fairness. That hotel over there is full of refugees. Why can't I have that? If they can house them, why can't they house me temporarily till I get on my feet? I fought for this country and it means nothing.'
