@DenizenOfAisleOfShame if you google you'll find it quite easily. I have issues doing anything with MN so I can't post a link, sorry
It's a pretty bog standard procedure letter, saying that the home office didn't tell them anything in advance and don't appear to have planned anything in advance.
She also mentions planning regulations, but obviously is unaware that most of these situations have come about in the same way. I was walking distance of one of them in London and I am now based in Essex so obviously familiar with all the stuff that's going on here, but luckily not walking distance of anything. There's not been consultation with councils or residents in the situations that I know of. So what she is objecting to is what people up and down the country have been experiencing for more than 10 years.
"planning" was the last challenge made in the Epping case today. They are out marching in the streets again, although I suspect most people knew they would not win the case on a technicality. Basically all planning regulations go out the window when the government want what they want.
I do genuinely wonder if RM is one of these people who thinks we are all racist if we raise concerns and does not give credence to any of those concerns and thinks that published figures are lies or something. I don't know.
maybe like that guy on YouTube who is posting videos admitting that's basically what he thought until it happened in his area.
but I think she has been misrepresented. Lord knows we see that happen all the time with everybody!
Credit to somebody who can actually have the conversation and say "yes I will have one in my home". I met a solicitor who did that. Fair play. I know she had a woman stay with her though.
