AIBU to think the PM is ignoring the asylum issue?

I’m firmly working class, and I don’t believe that what we need is to spread the asylum seekers around more. The reason I’m annoyed is not because I don’t want them housed by the middle class, but because I think it’s completely ignoring the problem. I think we need secure detention centres whilst the country either approves the application or sends them off home. These will be safe, food provided, clothes, play areas for the children. The accommodation will have the basics like temporary housing does but they can’t leave until application approved or sent home. But they can’t leave and roam UK unless their application is accepted. Anyone who is violent etc and makes it not safe will automatically be sent home.
I liked this prime minister as I thought he had both feet on the ground, but it seems not….!
If he admits it’s not fair only working class has to deal with it, then surely, he admits it’s a problem and he’s not actually addressing it?

YANBU = PM ignoring actual issue
YABU = Issue is that only working class have to deal with them

He wants to sort homelessness by Christmas. That’s a pretty bold target.

And flytipping. Totally up for this.

Beds and Bins would actually get me voting for this guy. And I was not a fan initially.

Why “what”? This happens incredibly frequently. It’s not more newsworthy because it’s a man surely.

i’m actually surprised that that guy has been in court already. I remember when it happened.

God how awful! You must live somewhere horrendous.

I live in a pretty working class town and stranger rape is incredibly infrequent here. In the past 10 years I have lived here we have had more murders than stranger rapes.
