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.

You’re wasting your breath. We’ve told them this 100 times already. Unfortunately they won’t reply to any of your facts.

I know the reason.

The reason is that the people crossing the English channel in boats are not asylum seekers.

I said I wouldn’t respond again, but this is outrageous. The vast, vast majority get asylum. You are lying.

Mumsnet are mad for the poor oppressed asylum seekers.
This is because they live in rich ghettos and never come across any 🤪

How did you reach that conclusion?

I live on the edge of two areas of high refugee concentration, have taught refugee children and volunteered with refugee charities. This is why I’m not anti refugee. I’d bet the majority of those demonising them have never met one.

We are getting it and are giving you fact based evidence

Still awaiting yours

You know jack shit!

Asylum seekers only make up 0.16% of the population... Hardly detrimental to everyone else.

https://www.nao.org.uk/reports/an-analysis-of-the-asylum-system/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

38% of asylum seekers are women and children under 18. Which leaves only 62% men. What this doesn't show is the proportion of those men who are single in the sense of being unmarried rather than unaccompanied. What it also doesn't show is that 80% who enter the UK under family reunion visas are female. Once family reunion is taken into account the sex distribution rebalances and may even be a higher proportion female.
Oh, and it also doesn't show that a single asylum application can include multiple people, so if a man makes the application and includes his wife and kids, it is going to skew the figures.

Well it is detrimental if you have a gp who can't organise themselves and allow all their sessions and commitments to clash and overlap.

I’ve never had a doctor’s appointment start on time. It’s nothing to do with asylum seekers.

I’ve met many due to my work and listened to them describe how they were tortured.

That’s a GP issue, I’m not sure how late he was, did OP ever say?

Never a truer word spoken 👏

You'll need to use your browser's translate ability, if it has one. Otherwise, this article is less informative, but seems to explain the basic problems in English (Disclaimer: I don't know what the website is! It's just a random one I found when googling).

Other news articles from The Sun and GB News explain the incidents that took place in more detail and seem to align with the Wikipedia article, but say that the Dutch students were forced to live in the housing complex, which they weren't.

Sometimes helped by men shoving them.out of the boats so they can get on

Can you link to that coverage?

if you open it in Chrome it should automatically offer translation. I opened in Safari first and it wouldn’t translate.

Thank You

Re forced Ive seen a comment that the choice may have been to live there or be homeless so not forced but also not much power to choose

Stek Oost will cease to exist in 2028. The status holders will then be rehoused. The students have to find a new home themselves

When the project opened in 2018, there was actually a waiting list.

They have their asylum claims assessed, and are then either allowed to work and participate in society, or deported. In the meantime, we treat them as human beings in need of care. If you are unable to cope with this, you should give some thought as to the society you wish to live in

Ppl desperate to be housed are on waiting lists in the UK. Is it not the same in Holland?
