What Is Happening To Our Country?

There is a big difference between a new housing estate being built and 1500 immigrants being dumped in the middle of nowhere where!

Once the military bases have reached capacity (and legal people are trying to exclude the use of ex military sites as they are deemed not good enough), available Service Homes will be used. To offer support (ie, safety) to Service families, Military police patrols will be stepped up in the neighbourhoods, along with the provision of 'military cohesion officers'.

In short, plans are being spun up, under the umbrella of diversity and pink and fluffy wording, for service personnel to be more visible in service family areas to protect the women and the kids.

what makes it even more tragic, planned works to improve currently used service family accommodation (ie, remove mould etc) is being postponed in order to fully refurbish properties to be used by illegal migrants who have yet to chuck the ID in the Channel.

Got to love this country.

There's many people in this country that are pig sick of this " problem " but conversely many ( as portrayed in the previous photos) that fully embrace welcoming all to come and stay.

This latter group should have no problem financially contributing more in order to house and feed these incomers and contribute to any subsequent legal costs,  whilst those against pay nowt.

Problem sorted.

Why do they need to do that? It’s only people who don’t want brown people here that think they need extra security. More institutional racism alive and well I see

I'm not sure why anyone thinks this is a simple binary choice between turn back the boats or welcome everyone.

Most people, I suspect, acknowledge that illegal immigration needs sorting but that there are genuine asylum seekers, don't "embrace" all and sundry being welcomed, but accept that the people who arrive here actually need to be accommodated until there's a decision made about whether they can stay or must leave. 

I'll ask you the question that has been ducked up there... where do we accommodate these people - hotels, HMO's, streets/woods/fields, shanty towns, detention centres? 

The only solution is to make us less attractive to the greedy, urgently sort out a process to deal with claims and appropriate appeals sharpish, and accommodate people as cost effectively and safely as possible until they're processed.

There's a reason that they got rich.

There are many reasons;

Some inherited wealth as descendants of invaders who seized land 

Some worked extremely hard

Some invested and made the correct/lucky choices when playing the markets

Some played close to illegality and fraud, but got away with it

Some are simply bullshitting snake oil salesmen

An idle waster that I used to know managed it with a scratchcard.

250k is a relatively low price for a new build house, its certainly toward the bottom end of the market so if the local residents cannot afford them perhaps they should have worked harder to get jobs where they could. That said I think it's marvelous that the people of Shropshire can welcome Asylum seekers to their area with the authorities giving them wonderful, new homes to enjoy their stay in comfort. Refugees are most definitely welcome there!!

The ringleader of a notorious Rochdale grooming gang is set to be released from jail this week and cannot be deported, his victims have been told.

Stripped of his British Nationality but we can't deport him because Pakistan don't want him back 🤣

After being rehabilitated by our first class prison system then it's only right he be allowed his liberty back after serving his sentence. With the things he last learnt and the punishment he has recieved i'm sure he's looking forward to rebuilding his life the support of his family and local community. Im sure he'll gone on to become a fine upstanding member of the Rochdale community, he has paid for his sins, his god has forgiven him and so should we.

It's so unfair. The asylum seekers put in those houses are going to be really upset, when they see Buckingham Palace being given to other asylum seekers, after it's refurbished.

Nobody is being 'given' anything.

The properties were sat empty and have been acquired on a lease by Serco to be used as dispersed accommodation (which is cheaper than using hotels) to temporarily house immigrants while their asylum claims are processed.

If their claim is successful they will have to vacate the property within 28 days and find their own private or social housing, and if not then they will be removed to a detention centre pending deportation.

And pay back up to £10k....

People granted asylum in the UK face having to pay back around £10,000 towards the cost of their accommodation and support once they start earning, under government plans.

The new measures, which are part of the Immigration and Asylum Bill, are aimed at recovering costs from all adults with sufficient funds.

They should be kept in a detention centre whilst their claims are processed.

Putting aside the legal infeasibility of that for a moment (you can't indefinitely detain someone simply for claiming asylum), the cost of it would be astronomical compared to the cost of using dispersed accommodation.

Nice to see someone addressing the issue. And yep, wherever possible, that's the answer for me. Where not possible (ie no space), then the cheapest option.

Although I like the idea of the cheapest option, I prefer a less attractive option. A detention centre, pending processing, isn't attractive and gives safety to people seeking that.

Detention centre, removed of/when denied, let whoever appeal from another country.

remove the constant stream of freebies, clamp down on the unlimited number of vape shops, barbers and deliveries drivers.

Immediately raise the bar required to gain asylum, and deport those granted to stay should they break the law.

Far too much common sense for that to catch on.

As long as there is state funded legal aid they’ll be a whole appeals industry to stretch things out.
