Andy Burnham just doesn't get it does he, we don't want anymore migrants/illegals put anywhere not in rich or poor areas we want to stop them coming here full stop.

Thank you, that poster does not speak for me, either.

Nor me

I'm much too old for tiktok but I'd rather sound like your 17 year old than like you by the sound of it.

My own 17 year old is quite clever and can express an argument without using hackneyed and meaningless phrases like 'virtue signalling'. Not sure to whom I am signalling on an anonymous forum anyway.

Your earlier post was a bit that though.

What is hilarious if that by using expressions like ‘fair share’ he is admitting that the illegals are a burden, otherwise would be a sought after privilege to have them. 😀
Would love to see portacabins and tents to house them the gardens of the SoHo Farmhouse and around the Cotswolds so the Lib Dems and leftie luvvies’ daughters have to suffer harassment by them instead of working classes girls who are currently paying the price.

In Gary Linekar’s garden would be a good starting point and with Andy Burnham perhaps

I saw a news article that stated in one rural location it would change the population to 6 men to 1 woman.

My husband has a few DVDs of such.

Yes but this is a good idea since it has been unfair on working class people to house them in working class areas, then call working class people racist for complaining about them.
Let’s see how tolerant and not racist the middle classes are now they have to put up with them. I suspect they might also soon be lining up behind measures to limit asylum seekers instead of devoting their energies to calling everyone else racist.

I will never forget being denounced by the mother of four children in private school when I complained that most of the mums at our state primary spoke different languages so it was hard to make friends.

You need experience of things before you condemn others for complaining about them.

I agree with this. There is zero reason why wealthier areas shouldn’t take undesirable government accommodation - be that As, prisons, care homes, whatever. I can’t think what serious argument they could have that it should be another area instead of theirs

Spreading illegal migrants around more broadly is likely to radicalise more voters. Gift to Reform.

To be fair leafy villages revolt over any extra homes at all. It's how they stay leafy.

I have to agree, it's wrong but most of us will do whatever we can to defend our own territory. Those with more money/power/social capital have a greater ability to defend their territory. So the leafy areas get more leafy and the shit areas get more shitty

Just stop it. People are not illegal. So fucking tired of this reactionary racist shite on here and everywhere.

You do not speak for me so stop saying 'we' when you're parroting Nigel racist fuckface thanks.

Are you going to take one for the team?

Nobody is illegal.

I hope so. If the posters who say they are keen do then it’s a help.

summater · Yesterday 12:09

They should probably put them in Lib Dem areas like the Cotswolds

Asunciondelaflata · Yesterday 12:13

Perhaps house them in areas where people voted for the Green Party, because they do support more migration and open borders.

We have a good number of asylum seekers and refugees starting over 10 years ago when Syria fell, we had an excess of family homes (cheap Northern town).
Because we have a lot of families as well as singles, the newcomers have engaged well with local communities so the singles don't stick out, and we have also made an effort as a town.
We're a marginal seat, currently Labour, and I'd say it's been a success. Certainly Angry People On FB are more likely to complain about travellers or feckless youth so it doesn't seem to get locals riled up.

This is where they are going.
Hope residents have somewhere they can send their daughters to live with relatives 😢😢

What do you have in mind? Come off UC and be the CEO of Goldman Sachs?

That’s good. Would you be ok with mass accommodation in barracks as per Piddington or would you sign against having it as they have?
