To ask if you think the prime minister has a democratic duty to house asylum seekers in middle class areas

[CurdinHenry]

By which I mean, would most voters support this as opposed to a change in policy to refuse in greater numbers? I honestly can't tell what "the majority" actually wants. I would prefer fewer having seen how things went in Germany thanks to the Merkel wave but I am willing to believe I'm a backwards old boomer and a majority would be more welcoming.

They (UK governments) tend to say they have no choice due to the echr but this isn't true. There are a lot of operational choices they could make (eg sometimes when people are denied entry at the border they are actually allowed into the country for a few days and instructed to report back to the airport when it's time for the removal flight).

I think you have the wrong poster. I never once claimed that.

There are so many just like that judging from the news.

Yes, or the silly "we're all as bad as each other"! So that's a good idea to import more criminals and sexual exploitation gangs?
Bizarre.

It's clearly the politics of hate, spite and envy in play yet again.

A bit like how our Labour controlled council closed down several libraries which all just happened to be in Tory voting villages and small towns! Funny that.

None in Labour villages were closed.

It makes more sense to house them where there are cheap and plentiful availability of housing. So, yes, sadly, the already run down areas. But if the local police/councils were given adequate funding, they could be controlled and not cause local disruption/crime/anti social behaviour etc. Trouble is that wherever they're put, the police/councils don't get enough funding to actually supervise and control them, so crime and A/s behaviour will almost inevitably increase.

If anything, they need to spread very thinly across all areas of the country, so that any potential negative effects are diluted. Housing them in huge numbers in ANY small area is going to cause problems.

Alright, so why bring up that news article about an alleged crime commited by Afghani men? Don't you know that you are enabling people who are migrophobic to spread their anti-migrant rhetoric?

Don't you know that most migrant crimes in this country are actually committed by white British men?

It seems really short sighted on so many levels.

In some of those cultures child sex is acceptable - hence the grooming gang scandal.

Well, we could send them abroad for processing somewhere else, such as maybe Rwanda?? We'd already set up that system, but along come Labour and one of the first things they did was scrap the Rwanda scheme!

How bizarre. Yes, I know that most crimes are committed by non refugee British men.
I never said they weren't.
Read what I post.
Not what you imagine I post.

But why risk allowing even more potential rapists and murderers into the country? Make it make sense! Just because some white men do it doesn't mean we should open the flood gates for asylum seekers to come in and do it too!

Yesterday's per capita ignorer

This is a basic failure of the government. I’m not sure why anyone is ok with it.

How are girls and women treated in Afghanistan? Chattel, they can literally be bought and sold. They have no human rights, not even the right to speak. It's tragic.
In all honesty, I would offer asylum to Afghan girls and women - as many as possible!

Yes, logic takes a holiday.

I can foresee that there will be an incident so outrageous that it will kick off some kind of mass rioting a bit like last year. Especially as it's a long hot summer.

Are you for real? The uncontrolled boat crossings are all due to Brexit. We can’t return migrants back to France like we could when we were part of the EU where we had reciprocal agreements. Before Brexit we had 299 people per year in 2018 now it’s around 15’000 and those figures are down over 40 percent. Half the country voted for this!

We shouldn’t be taking the huge numbers but make no mistake we lost control of our borders due to Brexit. Which has also made our country poorer too.

Yes, some people do look out for those.

You’re missing asylum figures in early 2000s. It was 103k pre Brexit.

You’re also missing migration issues with EU countries.

Statistics show that crime has gone down as immigration to this country has increased. You should be more afraid of Dave and Gazza your local 'brickies' than these poor men fleeing persecution and oppression. Believe me, they are more afraid of you than you are of them.

I can't bring up the t word though.. She was saying there should be a dating app for these men to find women to satisfy their urges ...

Really?! 🤣🤣🤣

Afghanistan’s previous minimum marriage age for girls by linking eligibility for marriage to puberty, which can begin as early as age nine.

Shocking, isn't it. Yet not to an Afghani as this is their culture.

So the BBC News story - Seven Afghan men charged over child sexual exploitation - shouldn't come as a surprise. Maybe it show the naivety and ignorance of politicians.

How DARE these men repay hospitality and their welcome to these shores by raping under-age girls? I note they all needed interpreters so no attempt to learn English, then.

Can any of our liberal friends defend this without resorting to the “white British men are rapists too”? Perhaps we should accept cultural differences and not even regard this sort of thing as a crime.

That really is a completely disingenuous way to frame the point I was making on that thread. Somebody made a crass comment about these men having no way to facilitate their 'repressed sexual urges' as if they were trash that nobody would ever look at twice and I simply stated that there would be plenty of local women who would be more than happy to date them actually. Many of them seem like very decent down to earth folk.

Yes we have fought for religious freedom in the past, the English civil war for example.

I think some interpretations of Islam are still on par with religious believes of the 16th century

She said she would date them herself
