My doctor was late to my appointment because he had been at the local country hotel full of asylum seekers...

When was the last time you had a home visit? Is this a way of managing the " problem" by them taking clinics there? Is it a way of hiding this issue? I understood they did not have access to the NHS yet I see massive bags of medicine labelled for this hotel too at the dispensary. We wait about 6-7 weeks for a routine appointment.

I read the article and I’ve read some of the documents you posted, and your posts. It’s not clear who the man arrested in December outside the camp is, but fairly obvious he is not an asylum seeker. I think it’s embarrassing that your MP and council leader and intent on fomenting suspicion and mistrust.

How have people run away from the camp when there they only arrived 36 hours ago?

Read, read, read ....why are you so keen to immediately dismiss what is happening ? Does it not suit your narrative?

Ooooh " shouted at" ? 😂

Show quote history

Asylum seekers like anyone have the absolute right to be treated within the bounds of the law. The police suspect that this is not likely absent protection; hence, protection.

Do you object to the idea that British people should be made to obey the law?

Which countries? I posted the figures showing how many MORE refugees other countries admit. Did you not read it?

Why do you think other countries don’t admit them? Is it because Tommy Robinson said so?

Would you jump off a cliff because others do? What kind of reasoning is that?

You know what - being shouted at is a minor thing. How about pensioners being on waiting lists for months ? How about pensioners struggling to look after themselves with no or minimal social and medical help or care? How about our soldiers living in cold tin huts in some of these countries trying to keep the peace? The money that is being spent on these individuals is wasteful. Why can't these people follow correct procedure? They won't because they have heard about some of these suckers in this country.

You go shout at hotels, it will solve all those issues you are highlighting.

Okay, so they should be left unscreened and potentially start a contained TB pandemic on the camp like at Auschwitz? I can imagine the number of laughing emoticons that would garner in the online groups you’re no doubt a member of.

I assume you have seen the protests at hotels housing asylum seekers, protection is necessary.

And a on-site GP keeps the asylum seekers away from the local clinic.

Protection?

They are not supposed to be out and about. Those are the terms although a couple have already done a runner in the night towards Uckfield. This whole situation is monitored locally by locals.

So should they have a private gp or be treated by the NHS? Which situation would be palatable to you? You do accept that they’ll need some form of medical screening? Imagine if they had TB and didn’t know, and went round spreading it about.
