I think a basic amenities detention centre, people living god knows how many to a room, is less appealing than a house or hotel. But yep, it's a variation on a theme.

You don't - the same as per HMO'S and hotels.

Yep. In reality it's HMO's or hotels, simply because there's nothing else. I'd build much simpler detention centres, large rooms, bunks, shared bathrooms, very basic facilities. It's about providing somewhere safe and that meets basic needs, nothing more. Sure, it's expensive,but it needs not be anywhere near prison type facilities or expense.

I said similar at the time. Whilst certain things shouldn't have to be said, they're better said than unsaid.

Indeed. We are the solution to France's problem, sadly.

I'm not sure it's that simple. If it is, no issue for me. That Pompey boat yesterday was a disgrace - monitored (escorted) out of french waters and left as our problem.

Yep. All sorts of practical issues as well. It was an expensive change for the sake of change.

Pathetic. So no answer, just rudeness. Best get yourself to Pompey mate, people at your level there.

Simple question mate... difficult answer though, hence you ignored it. Answer in your own time.

What's the answer to my question?

Ok. So, hypothetically, someone who has yet to be approved staggers into a&e, heart attack, stabbed, appendix popped, whatever. What do the medics do, step over them and leave them to die? If you're there with your kids, is that the kind of society you want them to see?

I get that. That defeats the purpose of asylum.

Let's look at the people that do arrive. Choices:. 1. Accomodated. 2. Left to wander, sleeping wherever and disappearing from the system. Which one? If 2, are you ok with them kipping in the field outside your house? I'd prefer they were odd the streets.

Agreed. I don't see the appeal at all. Whatever the appeal is needs to be choked off.

If they can afford nothing, then a shanty town down the rec? People can moan about HMO's all they like, but people can and will arrive on our shores, and either be accommodated at our expense or left to roam free - it's one or the other.
