Why do Labour not get it?

I have not been engaging with you by choice. I have no desire to feed your posts.

Would you please stop talking about me on this thread and on other threads as well?

Why don't you be honest and say you wouldn't want an unvetted, unknown 20 something man in your house? I bloody wouldn't.

It’s ok you don’t need a room silly. A sofa for you and a bed for an asylum seeker. Or you could pay for a new bed, put it up in your living room. Be careful though, you don’t want end up like the last guy who let an asylum seeker live in his house.

I’ve genuinely stopped caring. I am absolutely sick of this government and the last.

I no longer give two hoots about any asylum seekers, or immigrants. White; brown; male, female, coming from Africa or from the awful country of France. I really have no compassion left for anybody. I don’t actually blame the migrants for coming, I blame our successive governments and the left leaning public for this damn mess.

It’s an absolute piss take when taxes rise for the working population, to pay for people to come into the country and not work, or work in low paid jobs requiring taxpayer funded top-ups. Socialism at its bloody finest. And that’s before you actually start even considering the safety implications, of which there are far too many…yet people still protest that it would be worse to detain until we identify our visitors….because…well….we have to be nice.

I hold my hands up and acquiesce that you can be the morally superior one. I’m going to vote for whoever stops this madness and allows working people to keep their own money to spend on themselves. And who puts the safety of the British public first, even if that makes me the world’s most horrible person.

Was t it the Polish president who said the reason they had such a low crime rate was the fact they had zero immigration? I’m not surprised the average Pole is far richer. They went elsewhere to work, sent all the money home and have built beautiful houses, maintained their country all the while preventing immigrants from coming in.

Also if we have no idea of the country of origin where are the planes taking them when they are deported.

I wondered that. Also, how do they know which interpreter to get if the asylum seeker won’t say where he is from?

Ironically immigration was much, much lower before we left the EU.

I suspect some of the current EU members would have concerns about the opposite issue given the average Pole is not far from becoming wealthier than us.

It's not that Labour "don't get it" - they don't want us to get it, so they like us to remain distracted by dealing with crime, overcrowding, avoiding at all costs being called racist etc.

It doesn't matter where the asylum seekers are held, the UK as a nation can't afford to house them full stop, if Liebour say we are in so much debt then they can stop paying £££ in contracts for non-essential services for non-residents.

Far too many people in precarious unaffordable rentals and using food banks. It is disgusting that billions are being made from asylum housing by just a handful of individuals.

It is also disgusting that the govt won't say how much has been paid back to the Treasury by the profiteers.

Honestly why do people keep saying that Labour are doing their best for ordinary people, when they aren't. I just don't understand.

Why don't you lobby the Government for crimes to be recorded by country of origin/time in this country/asylum status.

When you can show us with data how peaceful and law abiding these men are perhaps we can relax a little?

Rock and a hard place then because without Brexit everyone given European citizenship would have free movement anyway. So we would be unable to stop anyone coming who holds that citizenship.

People are not falling for the sob stories any longer - the game is well and truly up.

Most people are totally pig sick of being taken advantage of and our safety concerns overlooked...we should be the priority and our safety concerns not accommodating all and sundry from third world countries.

I was against the Rwanda plan at the time (largely because of the cost), but I’m increasingly convinced something similar is the only way forward now.

We can make the accommodation as unattractive as we want, but people will continue getting small boats as long as there’s a strong chance they’ll get to stay in the UK.

Another day of Labour another shitshow.

The only propaganda I'm seeing is you trying to persuade people how awful these hotels are when we all know that they are perfectly ordinary hotels. Oh the terrible Travelodge and PremierInns that you are trying to tell us are so basic suit us perfectly fine when we are lucky enough to get a night away.

Another country/offshore seems to be the best idea but when this was suggested before people objected to it and it was shelved.

It does beggar belief. How did we ever get here.

Whether they are granted it or not the vast majority don't go anywhere else.

Hotels and barracks neither of these are particularly good options.

It has to be offshore processing, Rwanda as was or get a few big disused cruise ships and park them up in the middle of the North Sea, no one steps foot here until investigated and checked.

Something radical has now got to happen as it is beyond a joke how soft we are...there is no deterrent at the moment.

It has to be offshore straight away; you don't get in to the UK to be processed.

We have a housing crisis and an economic crisis we can't look after our own why add to it with unvetted unknowns - it beggars belief. It is NOT our duty to house, clothe, feed, and provide care to the world. We are a laughing stock.

Hotels aren’t great either. I’d go for the Aus option, Ik the public are not as keen on border control and it might take more time to get to same place but it works well and no one will vote it out.

Do you really think people who can pay people smugglers tens of thousands of pounds and are physically able to travel across continents (through lots of safe countries) should be prioritised?

No country can take an unlimited number of refugees, and in my view we should be focusing on those who are the most vulnerable.

😥 That's awful, poor man

Yesterday I wrote a supporting letter for a man who has become homeless following an assault by his landlord. Not a British national but moved here 10yrs ago and who has worked in the UK since arriving. His mental health has been affected and he has some disabilities yet the loa council do not deem him to be a priority. He is likely to become street homeless. Where is the fairness in that?

Would you prefer them to continue being housed in hotels then? What would your solution be?

There are 8 billion people in the world.
Around 70 million people in the UK.

If we accept a conservative 2 billion people live in unsafe/oppressive conditions and would be eligible for asylum that is 28 eligible people for every man, woman and child in the UK.

We are going to need more than a barracks or two. We are going to need the Government to comandeer every spare patch of land for marquees and pay 90% tax to provide them with porridge.
