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.

Honestly yes. They could out them in hotels around me in London and nobody would even notice. There's millions of tourists here all the time anyway. How can you tell an asylum seeker from a tourist, or from a student, or from a resident when you're out and about in London or other cities? You can't.

@putupwhatever Yanbu. 1500 men- the majority from countries with no existing women's right. If I had daughters I would move far, far away...

Yes, I believe some of this is men fleeing justice in their home countries, not fleeing persecution at all but fleeing the law because they're criminals. Also some of it is countries emptying their prisons into the west. I think there is an element of this and that's why some of the men coming over are so incredibly dangerous.

I don't believe I actually gave any opinion on multiculturalism, I'm rather pointing out that being against it includes being against Jewish culture. It helps if you read what I write rather than make stuff up

Great post

I agree however in the last 2 years they've managed to reverse migration in Denmark, the same can be achieved in the UK

Interesting that as soon as anyone brings up white men, it's challenged as unnecessary.

No one has argued to bring in more men!

Your first paragraph could easily be true, SpaceRaccoon, and your second certainly is ... look up Castro's Mariel Boat lift for example

Yes other EU countries are part of the EU but did their own thing. We never did.
We toed the line and followed rules that was one of the reasons it didn't work for us .

Tourists don't generally come from sharia law countries where women are second class citizens. Tourists have money and things to do. Tourists eventually go home.

London is not a limitless oasis, it makes sense to share the load, including in London.

This is what I mean, one example but I've seen many such:

It is clear to most that it’s young men on the boats and the stats back this up.

Visa overstayers seeking asylum are 62% male and predominantly from countries where women are seen as nothing but brood mares.

No thanks.

I think you may have misread that post.

I’m fine with people who want 1500 mass accommodation centres near them. If there was a way to have a town with the few telling the op that she is bu then everyone is happier.

The 8% can be nearby.

Wow look I predicted the future

Or is it Linton in North Yorks?

So you're against Jewish culture? I haven't made anything up, this was your argument, and I dont know why youd argue with the PP if you too are anti multiculturalism

So why is it the left who want to shut down conversation about immigration?

I agree, it's blown completely out of proportion! Yes there's some dangerous cultures in dark corners of the planet but it doesn't mean that many of them are here! I read earlier that 6 out of 7 rapes are commited by white British men!

Let's look at all the dark shit over the years in the UK:

Fred & Rose West
Hindley and Brady
The Ipswich murderer
Yorkshire ripper
Jimmy Savile
Gary Glitter
Rolf Harris
Christopher Halliwell 2 and potentially 5 murders
Stephen Port x 4 murders
Jeremy Bamber x 5 murders
The Black Cab Rapist
And this is just scratching the tiniest bit of surface of all the homegrown predators that have killed or raped! There's plenty of Ben out there who have killed or raped once or twice before being caught!

Ok now I'm thinking you're either a troll or just lack reading comprehension. How on earth you got to 'so you're against Jewish culture' from my posts I don't know.

Tale as old as time.

”not in my leafy suburb, give them to the working class crap areas”

Those in support, are you pro-open borders? And, if so, would you do away with border controls? So no passports or criminal checks. Because this is what the situation currently looks like with asylum seekers - they arrive without checks. It makes a mockery of people queuing at airports and biometric wotnots if you can tip up on the shore of your choice without any documents.

If I were OP I’d be hysterical. Would people here honestly be ok with their dds walking home alone from school knowing there were this many lone men in a rural area?

Oh give over.

It’s completely different. I don’t think people actually realise how fucked up some countries are.

Some poor people there have no education, no healthcare, no moral standing.

It really is incomprehensible to us. You need to go and watch Ross kemp extreme world. Even South Africa which is quite civilised by most people’s standards ie. I would travel there. 85% of under 12s have witnessed a rape.

This world is not equal. There’s a lot of fucked up people in it and a lot of fucked up cultures. And it’s sad for them yes. But do I want that here. Absolutely fucking not.
