Why do Labour not get it?

"Many have tried to imply this is about immigration, but these are the choices of one man, not an ethnic group"

Do you agree?

I'm not trying to be argumentative but the fact is the way they arrive here is a crime and until we know who they are and where they're from we should be able to detain them.
Obviously they should have food, shelter and all basic human rights except freedom of movement until they are processed.

Oh please stop with the hyperbole. Who is suggesting that? However I would readily support the hotels to be repurposed for the homeless population - like we did during covid. I don't think they'd be moaning about staying in a previously rated 4 star hotel or not having their choice of biscuit

Surely safety, particularly when you consider the countries these people are coming from, is THE greatest incentive? I don't think any of these people are making dangerous journeys for a daily breakfast buffet.

They’ve probably done some sort of focus group testing which was more favourable to this than not. That’s why.

The important thing to realise is that no one on the Labour front bench cares about actually changing anything - on this or any other issue- or achieving anything. That is completely irrelevant. The only thing that matters to them is whether doing a particular thing might enable them to carry on enjoying the salary & benefits that come with office.

Actual effectiveness, cost savings, benefit to the public, etc, are all completely irrelevant.

Well, if that was advertised on TikTok, I’m pretty sure the boats would stop.

I used quotation marks because I was quoting directly from the post.
I also know plenty of homeless people that do work, so it is very possible.
Homeless people are not well served in this country at all, but that's another thread!

Never heard the word cushy applied to living in a one horse town Premier Inn, but there you go.

It's interesting that in opposition Labour, both Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper specifically, we're against housing asylum seekers in these types of accomodations.

Why the use of quotation marks? Are they not ' ours' to help? How would you secure employment without an address?

So we should lock some innocent people up, but not others?

Well I know most of them very well. No criminals, they respect the laws of our society too.

Maybe they should knock down all the buildings in these barracks and they could live in rows of tents? No hot water, just a cold standpipe for every 50 people. Food every other day.

Basic enough for you yet?

I'm glad she is ok, must have been terrifying.
Iive in an area where sadly I wouldn't be surprised if one of my neighbours was doing just that, and anyone who does should obviously be arrested. My point is that we can't lock up people who haven't broken the law on the off chance that they might.

Thanks. That makes a lot more sense. It says he was fleeing Libya because his family was pro-Gaddafi, rather than he was fleeing Gaddafi as per pp.

"Zouari came to the UK illegally in 2022 from Libya, where he said he faced a lot of political trouble, particularly because his family were pro-Gaddafi - the brutal totalitarian former leader who committed serious human rights violations and supported terrorism"

All in all, he sounds a right charmer.

Can’t do anything about those can we. But sometimes (such as in the case of asylum seekers) we should have a choice.

Don't know about your neighbours but mine aren't following children round near schools and yes that happens it happened to my friends 14 year old granddaughter. She was terrified and fortunately a neighbour saw him and escorted her home.

'Our homeless' are not prevented by law from working and supporting themselves, asylum seekers are.
That's the difference.

I can’t argue with this level of stupidity, I really can’t.

Sorry, I have to leave this thread because I am so angry and if I were to write what I want to write I’d get banned.

Absolutely. I find posts like this one laughable. And they have the cheek to say we're the ones being manipulated! Frankly I couldn't care less that the nice fluffy, feather pillows have been removed and the spa has been shut - they're still offering a warm bed, washing facilities and hot meals, things our homeless don't receive. The only people being played are the lefty liberals and their luxury politics.

Do you know the criminal histories and backgrounds of your neighbours? Should they be locked up a s well?

Oh for God’s sake, we don’t know who these people are!!!

It’s not being ‘racist’ or anything akin to Nazi Germany, it’s applying some bloody common sense!!
