Illegal Immigrants In Hotels

[Goldengirl123]

What are your thoughts?

They are allocated 100 a week, they get the vouchers in the box for their new iphone.

😂

You know this how?

oh dear 🤣

Simon is being facetious

Apologies, so upset and sad today.

Do I need to say it again? We pay our taxes, it is the government's responsibility to house asylum seekers, Ukrainian women, people who arrive on small boats, big boats or planes. It is not up to individuals to house strangers of any description in their own homes.

So people using "well, YOU put 'em up then" as an argument are trying to shut down sensible debate. It's like when a child has reached the end of their reasoning capabilites and shouts "you smell of poo".

Also, the Ukrainian scheme was taken up by mainly these:

1. Men who are dirty shaggers with an Eastern European fetish.
2. People who thought they would get a live-in maid.
3. People who wanted to get their face/new kitchen/big house on Sky News.

I skimmed most of the replies and there is lots of talk about money but if you live nearby this is the reality. I’ll attach 2 photos (may be pending) . Look how close these hotels are to the school. The mostly men residents to these hotels hand around outside making comments to the mums and girls. There have been various sexual assaults', one girl was only 11. People are scared for their children's safety.

Well let me do that now. Clearly, this is speculation on both our parts but, to an extent, there's already a precedent. For example, we expect the people of France who want a visa for the UK for longer than the 180 days in 360, they to go to the Embassy or Consular Office. In so doing, we do not take responsibility for them in any way. That is already the model so why should it be any different? As to whether the French and/or Belgian authorities would allow it, we simply don't know but surely it is worth exploring? It does seem as though this is a problem that successive UK Govts have been unable to grasp since BREXIT so why not give it a chance?

Could you provide the statistics, evidence or research for this claim?

Asylum seeker on &49/wk are responsible for their own food. The allowance drops to around £9/wk - you read that right - when meals are provided. And those meals can be shockingly bad.

So maths isn’t your strong point? Or perhaps you wrote the opposite of what you meant, which can happen to anyone.

The daily rate for an asylum seeker on £49/week is £7. Assuming a 31 day month, the daily rate for a YP on UC is
316.98/31 = £10.23 and the daily rate for over 25s is £400.14/31= £12.91.

To be clear, in shorter months the daily rate for those on UC will go up slightly while the daily rate for asylum seekers will not change.

Because the young men who have had to leave everyone they love, had family members murdered by the government, not be able to phone home as they will murder the remaining members if they know they are speaking with them, have been horifically sexually attacked en route, to stay somewhere where people again attack them physically. It's not a great life here. They would rather be with loved ones if at all possible.

What test did you do to make sure they were that and not members of the Iranian National Guard? Anything? Or did you just assume they must be because some may be? MI5 have been warning of Iranian-backed terrorist activities within the UK.

Source for that please?

Here’s one:

But do you really have so little knowledge of global politics and history that you need me to post source that shows Iran is a threat to the UK?

"we also want to encourage quality over quantity. "

Imagine using such reductivist language about vulnerable human beings 🤮

Yes. If I had the space I would have no issue with this actually. I also work directly with asylum seekers and refugees and know many personally so I already do support them. I'm more than happy with the taxes I pay being used to support vulnerable people. Especially given that asylum seekers make up a very small percentage of overall immigration in the UK, entering a country to seek asylum is NOT illegal nor is being trafficked. And let's be honest, the majority of immigration that seems to be a problem is usually from countries where the general population are not white. Funny that isn't it.

How many asylum seekers/refugees do you know in real life? If the answer is none then I'd suggest you think about where you get your information. The only reason why they are unable to work and support themselves is our Home Office refuses to let them.

But why is space an issue? Surely you can budge up a bit. I mean, if you’re happy for asylum seekers to come over, surely you’re happy to make a small sacrifice for their benefit?

£49 is where they have to pay for all of their food themselves. Where they don't, they get £9 a week. Having less than a tenner (or £1.28 Mon-Sat and a generous £1.32 on Sundays) which which to feed themselves, buy clothes, shoes, toiletries and everything else isn't exactly better off than somebody with £79.

Such a boring and inane idea, trotted out continuously.

Is that your only idea? You don’t agree with me, so they must all budge up and I’ll do and contribute nothing….

Of course. If you had the space.😂

And where did anyone ever say that they did?
