Why do Labour not get it?

Think the checks a bit hush hush - wonder why.

@Winter2020 I agree . People here have plenty of their own problems and strains on life to deal with without the added stress of many men suddenly in the area hanging around .

We have a hotel in our vicinity and as far as I'm aware we have not had any trouble or problems with men hanging around. It's out of the town bit we don't have issues on sm .
Which is obviously very good /lucky.

Yep, I do. Maybe use facts to dispute my point rather than suggesting I'm uninformed?

Tbh I’m not convinced the boat situation will be solved until we have a policy that no one who comes illegally will be allowed to stay here.

There should be controlled legal routes for the most vulnerable, but we shouldn’t be prioritising people who pay thousands to smugglers and can travel across continents.

People will continue to try as long as there’s a good chance they will be able to remain in the U.K.

I don’t think it was ever answered what the ‘robust checks’ are that are done to asylum seekers once they get into the country. A PP talked about it and I’ve heard a government minister mention them but she then could t tell the interviewer what it entailed. If someone is undocumented then what checks can they do?

It absolutely should

They will be, hence the concerns being raised by people close by.

Heck even on mn there isn’t anyone who has said yes I’m ok with the barracks near to me.

No one wants this in their own area, Labour will struggle even more.

Btw checks aren’t always definitive, the recent sad death of the dog walker was after checks.

@CorneliaCupp Do you ever read the news?
I despair at your faux naivety.

@jeremyclarksonsthirdnipple quite but if we are having to put them up in hotels and barracks /taking ages to process them ,I'd also suggest we are taking too many in the first place.

So how do we reduce numbers

I feel desperately sorry for people murdered/raped and having their lives made worse by people that shouldn't be here.

Did Brexit cause the boats arriving in Greece too?

It doesn’t work for YOU in your experience.

Mine is the exact opposite.

You see living in diverse neighbourhoods as being “forced” to do so. Others seek it out deliberately.

It would be a huge issue as the vast majority will stay.

Government figures. 4% of people arriving on a small boat have been returned.

An amount that means we might as well not bother with a process at all. Give them a grand as they get off the boat and bid them good luck and save the whole expensive charade.

The only worthwhile immigration policy is stopping them coming (Rwanda etc) as once they are here they are going no where and all the "processing" us just paying people to shuffle papers for months or years before rubber stamping them- a complete waste of time and money.

Rhiannon Whyte's family, who made that statement, have made it clear they don't want her murder to be used to stir up anti-immigration sentiment. I think we should respect that.

There should be NO reason at all that they should be allowed to roam freely ..they are NOT British citizens they should be confined until all checks are done and deported there and then or granted asylum. Freedom is not automatic as they arrived illegally in the first place.

I would hope that containment is part of the solution, but I doubt it - once the human rights lawyers get involved it will be just like the failed ship solution. It’s a good idea though - the hotels chuck them out on the street after breakfast and they’ve nowhere to go at the moment, hence the antisocial behaviour.
Labour need to think through a solution that will keep them contained while teaching them about our language, law and culture and not just dump them with no rules for what they should do while they are preparing themselves for their immigration assessments…

If they won’t be held in the barracks then it’s a very scary prospect for the locals and their communities.

A Crowborough resident was interviewed yesterday an elderly man and he was very vocal that it is tiny village and the residents are scared stiff.

One man who shouldn't have been in our country.

The letter could also have been written by the Refugee Council or another charity supporting refugees (of which there are plenty).

What about the safety of the British people "when you are considering the countries these people are coming from"?

The firm I worked for took on private work, too, so I have no doubt they would have worked equally hard if there had been no legal aid involved.

Obviously I can only speak for the firm I worked for, and that was over 20 years ago. So I have no recent experience of immigration firms.

But I have more recently worked for a charity that helps women asylum seekers from Afghanistan and Iran, so I know they don’t have it easy.

People won’t be held there, they are free to come and go into the town or area.

I think, and I am NO Labour supporter that the Barracks thing is excellent. If they are processed there and not allowed into general society until we know who they are then it can only be good. As a safety issue alone its worth every penny. We need to reclaim our streets and stop being a third world trough for all and sundry.

Oh I think posters are making their own minds up about you and putting out biased information.

Well it’s one of the biggest reasons they are going to lose the next GE so they ought to care a bit.

Ha just read your post and already thought exactly the same written by a pro asylum group/labour council.
