Why do Labour not get it?

Unfortunately nobody wants to hear this.

Yes until they've been processed. Why not? They claim they want safety and that's exactly what they'll get. Not freedom to assault teenagers and intimidate local residents. I know they don't all do that but enough do.
Ask Rhiannons family what they want to happen.

Or that poor girl that got stabbed with a screw driver over biscuits....

The above is a letter written by a group of asylum seekers to the protesters outside their hotel.

Well presumably the HO didn't believe him.

Plenty of them used to be used by people choosing them for holidays so they can't be that bad.

It’s in the Bournemouth Echo.

Well exactly - his script was a bit on the dodgy side.

Fleeing Gaddafi? Do you have a link to this recent case, please?

Yeee-eees. Recent case in Bournemouth where the asylum hotel chef was attacked with a knife by a delightful man because the lunch - of his choice - was not yet being served.

This poor man who said he was fleeing Gaddafi turned out to be from Syria and was actually fleeing a girl he had got pregnant whose parents were pretty angry. Oh, and he had several cases of anti-social/violent behaviour in Britain too.

I think once the renovation is done they will be a cheaper option for housing AS. They are also usually not in town centres so people won’t feel there’s a big migrant community right next door. Although the Inverness one is in town I believe. I think it’s a decent solution for now.

What 'more' do you think they get?

But apparently they're not going to be confined to barracks. Some human rights shit being trotted out

So you'd want them to be imprisoned, even though they have committed no crime? That rings a bell...

Nail on the head. They shouldn't have the right to roam free until their legal immigration status has been determined. Even moreso if they have arrived here via illegal means, i.e. paying human traffickers.

Fully agree. It's that they're getting "better" services than workers which is the main problem, plus them hanging around which makes locals feel unsafe.

But apparently they're not going to be confined to barracks. Some human rights shit being trotted out. So instead of maybe 150 migrants wandering near one hotel you're going to have at least 4 or 5 hundred men wandering the areas around these barracks. Unless they are actively contained it's not going to make any difference. Be careful what you wish for springs to mind.
People want them immediately turned away, so do I, but there is no quick answer. The politicians would rather spend time arguing over who's fault it is than actually sort it out.

Yes, the public could decide who is awarded asylum and then there could be a big deportation night for the rest. It would go down a storm.

Yup, same in our town. One was a Travelodge that was only built less than a decade ago, so is bound to be relatively modern/comfortable. The other was a historic 3* hotel in prime seafront position, again in use for coach tours until it was re-purposed for asylum seekers, so again will be in a decent condition. Maybe not "luxury" as such, but they'll be both of a good standard and comfortable. It's not as if neither were in use and were derelict/poor state of repair. Another one was being used for homeless women/families who have been given eviction notices as it, too, is being repurposed for asylum seekers, so again, in a pretty good condition and habitable.

These men should be housed in multi bed rooms/dorms in barracks. They should be made to clean and cook for themselves (under management if course). They all evidently speak English and are keen to work (both I don’t believe, the first I know not to be true) so let them contribute to their own upkeep. The issue with the hotels is that private companies are making a load of money, these hotels are in built up areas and the men all hang around, they are ‘looked’ after having their laundry done and meals cooked.

It needs to be made as unattractive as possible for arrivals. These people should not get more, they should get the basics and should have to wait for any medical and dental treatment, just like we all
do.

It is criminal to pay a smuggler and get on a boat. They might apply for asylum after they get here, but their journey is not a legal one.
Then we don’t know much of their history or where they might have committed crimes…although we do know that some carry out heinous crimes whilst here, which I blame on the government. Detained until we know who you are should be the default.

Do you travel? Have you ever been to Africa?
If not, I strongly recommend watching some travel documentaries or YouTube channels featuring people backpacking through Africa. These videos often show people live for real, not the touristy, developed parts.
The man who was recently sentenced is from Ethiopia. Go online and take a look at how people live there not in the capital, but in the small, remote villages.

The accommodation in the UK might not seem to us as luxurious by European standards, but for many people crossing, such hotels represent incredible comfort. For them basics such as having clean, warm water to wash with whenever you want and for how long you want, regular meals, and even the allowance they get, all provided for free. From their perspective, that’s not hardship at all it’s a remarkably comfortable situation.

They do get it but it’s a runaway train now. They can’t stop it so the tip toe around the edges pretending they’re doing this and that. It’s like when you’re trying to tidy up but there’s too much stuff so you just end up moving it to different parts of the house or dumping it on the stairs or in a cupboard.

France must have changed since I was last there!

I genuinely think some people would love that.
