AIBU to feel helpless about a large asylum camp in our village?

[putupwhatever]

My village has been chosen for a 1500 open asylum camp for single men. It will be an open camp (as the men haven't done anything wrong so aren't detained.)

The thing is the village only has 700 people and it is pretty isolated. it's about 10 miles to the nearest city and you can walk to another small village. There is a playpark, a pub and a primary school.

It has to go through planning, but the government have changed the planning laws so that they grant themselves planning and you can't see it as it is deemed sensitive. So they will just grant themselves planning and you can't oppose it without a judicial review--by which time it will probably be already open.

They want to reduce the number of people in hotels. But am AIBU to think that this puts the burden of sorting these issues out on one tiny community? Feels like we are collateral damage to be honest. The community will be outnumbered 2 to 1 and it feels too much. There is nothing for them to do or places to go. Also the fact that it is all single men put in one massive place with no money or means or anything to do is going to lead to problems

Apparently the camps cost £10 less a night than the hotels. But they don't count the set up costs which are astronomical (the one in Essex was £47 million to set up). So it seems like it's not not even cheaper than the problem it is trying to solve but much more expensive.

AIBU to feel a bit helpless? It seems so unfair but there is nothing I can do. We wouldn't be able to move from the village anyway as no one would buy a house here.

Agreed! I've already said my mum lives on the same street as one. I used to live there, too - I'm not even sure when it changed use.

I do wish people would drop the 'do-gooders' trope. Some of us are offering the benefit of our actual experience, but clearly there are those who prefer to travel blind.

I would hate this OP. By my daughter’s college there is a hotel housing asylum seekers and groups of the men stand outside being antisocial, commenting inappropriately about the girls, shouting at them etc. They have approached girls and won’t leave them alone when asked. The girls feel intimidated and have to plan to always be in a group to walk past them. We drop and pick our daughter up on a couple of days when she can’t be with friends as she doesn’t feel safe due to previous incidents.

The college are aware but are helpless other than telling the kids to stay in groups and to report any incidents. The police have got the men to go inside the hotel before but nothing else is done.

So what happened on that NYE in Germany when 1200 women were sexually assaulted on one night by a mob of men of 'North African/Arab appearance' many of whom were asylum seekers?

It's not exactly out of character either. Mob sexual assaults are common in places like Egypt. Read about what happened to Lara Logan and a fair few other journalists. It's even got a name, translating to either 'the circle of hell' or 'the rape game'.

Western men are not sexually assaulting hundreds of women in feral mobs.

Another one who doesn't understand the military world.

British men and women who decide to protect their country and families by joining the army, are compared to illegal male migrants who have no documentation. Some are rapists and murderers and this has been proven. Many come from countries which do not treat women well at all. Comparing British army personnel to these in omers is disgusting

It was hushed up. Many lives could have gone saved had they taken action back then but here we are.

You’d think…..

It certainly is but that's how desperate they are to protect these unvetted men.

Most of the replies which are saying" they are wonderful and nonproblem" are paid foreign men sitting in Iran. Or similar.

Vile comment

I don't doubt your experience but...

Anyone who is in a new environment which has a different culture and language, no family and no money will likely be under a lot of stress. People respond to this kind of stress differently but you'll likely have a lot of men with a lot of issues who are all contained in one space.

It's not about "them vs or us". It's about bringing a large number of people who are all under considerable stress to one small town.

I'm from an immigrant family and I would be concerned if this camp was in my village.

Best hope OP is that a Reform/Restore govt. get in and they say that they will deport millions. Let’s hope so.

The more this happens to small communities the more support they have.

Be like Poland just say no.

What do the virtue signallers say to this?

Just reported you as I can't get near enough to put your matches where the sun dont shine. Love, daughter of immigrants.

I just don't understand the logic....

100 British women murdered annually by their partners = "It's not all men but we don't know which are the bad ones so we have to treat them all with caution".

1200 women sexually assaulted in one night by asylum seekers = "Well, I've not seen anything like that. Must just be prejudice/stereotyping".

🤔

Absolutely amazes me that so many women on here or the loudest feminist will openly scorn and slag off white men saying we don’t need them or they’re dangerous.

Then their mental gymnastics to overwhelmingly support and invite thousands of single young men into our communities from countries where women are treated like scum. It feels like there is a gang rape or child rape from an ‘asylum seeker’ in the news daily because of the ‘be kind’ brigade.

Truly remarkable stupidity. I don’t want any more men added to the country irrespective of their background, but I especially don’t want men from countries like these men are. Do you think they arrive and suddenly think women and girls are equal? Pull the other one. Adding tens of thousands of these men into our communities will not make women and girls any safer. Anyone who has lived near one of these hotels (I have) know how these men go around in packs shouting and leering at females and making us uncomfortable.

Does Poland have clans of liberals preventing tough measures in the name of diversity? Clearly not. Well done Poland.

They all need to start carrying tins of deep heat. Perfectly legal. A quick spray in the mush might make em think twice!!

Because VAWG is acceptable if tackling it threatens multiculturalism. We are sacrificed along with our children on the alter of diversity when it makes for an uncomfortable conversation.

The OP will not admit that she wants this to happen. She will not admit it because she has fallen for the old Refor/ Restore are evil Nazi.

People have to grow back ones and understand that Labour, and Lib Dems do not have our interest at heart. Think for yourself.

Look up Fabians.

Oh good another immigration thread. 🙄

My fear is it’s going to get to the point where British women and girls will need to walk around with a British male escort.

Some will scoff at this notion but how else do you fight off a pack of men?

I did too!

They are doing that. It just takes more than two years to turn around the shitshow that the Conservatives left us with.
