Ha. Yes they did. And what a stupid comment that was. Because surely the whole point of them is there would be no need for 'future asylum accommodation'.
In one statement they admit they won't be able to solve it either, and that asylum seekers are simply their weapon to gain support under false pretences.

So you’re a yes too? For @mrshoho

To be fair, Brighton has been a place where people go for a fight since the days of Mods and Rockers. It's very difficult to tell the difference between Brighton before a riot and afterwards.

And this lot didn’t even make it out of the station. What’s the country coming too when we can’t even organise a proper sunny seaside riot anymore?

Wokeness has killed the sunny seaside riot industry.

@drspouse Are you suggesting the MoJ data isn't factual data?

For those saying its just a minority of immigrant men that abuse women, ok, so you're saying youre happy to sacrifice a minority of British women and girls to these men, so you can pat yourselves on the back for letting in all the other men, got it.

So what is the number? How many women and girls are you happy to sacrifice? What number would be too high? Or will you always prioritise forign men over British women and girls?

Maybe someone who advocates for men nearby will answer you.

Not in Southend though. Regular violent riots there, not of the far right either.

I'm suggesting, because a statistical analysis shows this, that your reporting of that data is misleading. And, like a PP, I'm noticing you haven't got a link to the actual MoJ data.
I'm going to relisten to the program myself because my memory is of the misinterpretation and I can't remember what they said about the original data.
Suggest you come out of your bunker and do the same.

I already have a hotel used for asylum seekers in my town. And the truth is, I can count on one hand the times I've actually seen anyone who could be reasonably supposed to live in it, so personally it wouldn't bother me.
However answering the question in good faith, my vote would depend on the suitability of my area to accommodate them. Areas with poor transport links and limited services, services already stretched thinly due to the heavier reliance of local people of certain demographics on them, are not a good choice.
Deprived areas already place a heavier burden on health and education services. Their communities are more likely to require support such as social housing, child services, social care, the police and the charity sector. Their councils are less able to raise funds due to high unemployment. So it makes no sense to introduce a greater burden in these places.
Its not about whether local people want them or not. It's about which localities can best take the strain.

Just googled. How horrible for the residents to have to deal with that.

Hopefully this will give immigrants the clear message that they will be warmly welcomed in Brighton.
It will be interesting to see what they make of the strong LBQT community and city vibe. Maybe this will be the start of a beautiful transformation of the country’s relationship with immigrants!

Crowborough just happened to be an old barracks. Old hotels are in many different areas. There’s not that much thought to it.

You’ll have to just deal with it if you’re a yes, as others do already.

80smonster · 14/06/2026 10:17

Well done Brighton, expert handling of racists. Shame the Met police don’t just bolt the station doors to Victoria, Paddington, London Bridge and King’s Cross - a canny way of inviting facists to f@ck off back to where they come from. 😂

Exactly. But that is exactly what has happened in so many areas. The people who live there had no say in the matter, so can you see why they may be protesting?

They could even make the experience into a reality tv show. I bet the viewing figures would sky rocket.

I propose that at the next General Election there be an additional box at the bottom of the voting paper with the question;

Do you agree to asylum seekers and refugees in large numbers being housed in your neighbourhood and supported by your council. YES/NO

Then all the answers get tallied up and a league table produced. Obviously Brighton will be top of the table. It will be very useful for government planning. This is where things have gone wrong so far, asylum seekers and refugees and immigrants have not been housed in the local neighbourhoods of our politicians, our celebrities, our wealthy middle class.

Currently far too easy to virtue signal when the issues are not affecting your daily life.

Ha ha you won't answer my question will you? I suspected so. Tying yourself up in knots. Don't worry - lots of people do that when trying to argue the unsupportable. See gender woo folk trying to tell us men can be women. Some cross over there (so to speak) I expect.

It's data available online, you really should 'do your own research' as they say. However I understand why you don't want to, cognitive dissonance etc.

Here's an example just for you ..but remember - of course - data linking crime or convictions specifically to "foreign-born" or "migrant" status is not published by the UK government in an easy to use or access single, downloadable Excel spreadsheet.

Instead, nationality, demographic, and offender datasets must be cross-referenced. Funny that.

Incidentally, I live in a City of Sanctuary. We have asylum seekers of all ages and male, female, children, lots in schools. We were granted this status in the late 2000s as we had a large empty stock of family homes (house prices are cheap, and though we're near a university students prefer purpose built student housing, not shared houses). We don't see any local impact beyond more interesting food and culture, and a few groups taking bikes/household items/baby items to donate, and some school places being filled that wouldn't be (group of Arabic speaking mums at the small Catholic primary for example).

More or Less data from Dorset (though I don't see why national data would be massively different) says that 8% of sex crimes were committed by people who held another nationality (including dual nationals). So your MoJ figures can't be correct for the whole country. Did you get these figures from AI like Annunciata Rees-Mogg?
But this 8% includes many people who were never asylum seekers - they came as skilled workers.
And a larger number of immigrants (not just asylum seekers) are a) male b) younger adults, which makes them a more likely group to commit sexual offences.
There are some differences by nationality, but as the programme says we don't even know the number of people of different nationalities in the country. And while everyone cites "culture" as the precipitating factor in some groups' increased representation in some statistics, it could also be trauma - if you saw your mum raped or murdered when you were 14 and then escaped Afghanistan to make it to Europe, I'm guessing you need therapy.

So now all the lazy people don't need to listen to 10 minutes of the BBC. Instead, how about you donate to Freedom from Torture https://www.freedomfromtorture.org/our-work/therapy-and-support

Traumas are easier to overcome with the right guidance and support. Find out more about the types of therapy and support we provide to torture survivors.

As MN is predominantly made up of left leaning posters, I'm glad I'm not the only one who has seen fascism lose its meaning. You are splattering the word round like paint on a brush and seeing where it lands. Reminds me of another well worn out word. Those posters being held in Brighton, reflect nothing more than immature minds living in their own fantasy world. In the grown up world shit is happening. British women and girls remain at risk while Brighton is playing dressing up.

What's your suggestion for why the figure for Dorset is so much lower than what you think the national figure is?
(That was to @Northermcharn )
