Why do Labour not get it?

[Dacatspjs]

It's being reported today that Labour want to stop using hotels and move migrants into barracks. Fine. But when quizzed on it Luke Pollard has suggested this will be more expensive, but the public want the hotels to close at all costs so it will be worth it.

This to me just seems like another step forward for Reform. The public who care about this, care about how much the government is spending on migrant housing. A new policy that costs more isn't going to go anyway towards solving this problem.

I don't know what the solution is, but spending more money getting mothballed barracks up to spec seems ludicrous.

"Asked about whether it would cost more to house migrants at military bases than in hotels, Mr Pollard insisted that 'the public want to see those hotels close'.

But he added: 'We're looking at what's possible and, in some cases, those bases may be a different cost to hotels, but I think we need to reflect the public mood on this asylum hotels need to close.'"

You said I should house an asylum seeker and decided that I do have room in my house, you said I want to spend other people's money not my own but then you also claim I want to pay extra tax, called me lady Bountiful.

You are basically talking shite.

But do keep laughing at me for not treating asylum seekers as scape goats.

What is this magic button that is pressed when asylum is granted that means people start integrating?

Look around inner city neighbourhoods of the largest cities in the UK. How integrated do they look?

Yes same in our town.

100%

Is diversity an issue for you?

I was just hoping you will put your money where your mouth was.

If you aren't happy to, then that's up to you.

They are getting more than some people who were born here.

Ooohhh, really think you did something there.

Let’s see. Is diversity an issue.

How many ‘naice’, well healed people on this thread actually choose to live in the diverse areas. How many second and third gen educated children and grandchildren of migrants even choose to live in these diverse areas. Why do they choose to leave?

Which aspects of diversity do you advocate for? FGM? Forced marriages? Honour based violence?

What does that even mean?

You already told me I should pay for asylum seekers because you don't want to.

That’s the point. There is no diversity because people who come to live here develop their own communities to exclude others. They have no interest in integrating. That’s not why they’re here. Do you think that that’s at the top of their priorities when they come here? That they want to mix and make friends with the lovely British people?

All the pontificating about hotels is irrelevant. What all this proves is that we just don’t have adequate housing. The problem will still be there when the asylum seekers are granted permission to stay. We have people here who have been on housing waiting lists for years. Living in cramped and squalid conditions. We can’t accommodate more people coming here. It’s that simple.

Safety is likely to be their top priority, to live, love and be happy.

His ‘smashing the gangs’ rhetoric is absolute BS. There are literally queues of people ready and able to replace the ‘smashed’ ones. It’s like whac-a-mole. As soon as one gang is got rid of, another will pop up to take their place. . .

But to live, love and be happy in their own little set ups isn’t beneficial to anyone else who lives here. It’s divisive and creates mistrust. Multiculturism was sold to us as one big happy family where we all share our cultures and live happily side by side learning from each other. But the reality is so different.

You are so naive, it’s actually worrying.

It’s incredible to see that people actually believe that the majority of the men coming over on boats are anything other than economic migrants.

I still maintain that they should use the old Pontins sites. A couple of days in those dumps and they'll be asking to pay their own way back to Albania!

And their language tends to be indicative of the fact that they have no capacity to think for themselves. Basically regurgitating verbatim for what they have heard on the BBC and in the guardian.

I mean, who in real life, outside of the commentariat class uses language like ‘othering’, ‘demonizing’ etc during a perfectly normal and reasonable debate on whether immigration numbers are too high. Repeating the soundbites they hear seems to the extent of their critical thinking.

They may still look good from outside. The hotel companies strip out everything that differentiates a posh hotel from a warehouse, then migrants are put in there sharing rooms, often with complete strangers. There are few facilities, and those there are, are poorly maintained. Absolutely nonsense to call them prestigious.

I doubt they are safe for human habitation on any level, well over 10 years ago the ones at Southport were dripping with black mould and structurally unsafe. Not surprised they closed, very surprised they lasted as long as they did.

It also shows the far left’s true motives when pushed because they come out with statements like ‘is diversity an issue for you’.

They show their true thinking and intentions where they don’t believe that integration should happen. They are more than happy for practices and customs to thrive in this country which are harmful for to society. They pretend that the opposite side is the unreasonable one for advocating for integration.

It’s good that at least we know their motives.

I find the lines from Mahmood ridiculous and without substance and Starmer’s lies pointless.

Labour aside I think it’s understandable people don’t want 300 or 900 bored men waiting in large, cramped accommodation nearby.

Would you want to be close by to barrack accommodation, and do you have any dds who would be nearby?

Completely agree. If the UK wasn't seem as an incredibly generous place, they would stay in France (which is a really lovely country).

I think too many of those who advocate for letting the world and his wife in the UK are those who are self interested in keeping the benefits for all merry go round spinning.

Spot on. None of them would live in these areas.
