Can I draw your attention to this please ?
A village of 400 people in Oxfordshire, the government want to house 1200 migrants in an old RAF barracks nearby. No consultation and no infrastructure to support.
Before anyone accuses me of being racist, my family make up negates that.

A good idea for where you are then?

Weird response!

Plenty for local NHS, GP, prescribing, dentists, AIDS, TB, hepatitis, diphtheria, scabies, malaria, polio, STDs, mental health - whahoo

Are these your own medical conditions?

You like your easy insinuations so much you repeated it twice.

One person would have to be very unfortunate indeed to have all these.

There are most likely found within a group of people newly arrived from places with lack of hygiene facilities and vaccination programs.

I’ve taken your advice… I’ve gone… I’ve figured…and yep, it’s still genocide.

Well nobody trusts the UN these days I guess.

Oh please… it’s Sunday… be kind (isn’t that what people say?)

Are there female officers working in men’s jails? You know, there’s places filled with sex starved men (whatever the hell that means).

I'm sure you can define sex starved men and what consequences of that in terms of behaviour could be if you try. For any men, but particularly from men from cultures where they regard women to be used.

I assume you mean that if women work in men's jails - with training to be officers, weapons, other guards on standby, gates they can lock, and where they are still be attacked - a woman should also be okay wandering around a non secure camp with none of those things. Yours is not really a convincing point, is it?

’‘Men from cultures where they regard women to be used’.

I just don’t understand this logic at all. The position of women in Iran or in Afghanistan is dreadful, on that we agree. But if you believe all men in those nations support their government, you must surely oppose all men from those countries being allowed to reside here, whether they arrive by small boat or not.

So by your logic, would you put a travel ban on men from certain countries? And which ones?

Some of them support their government, some do not. However they have all grown up in the same CULTURE.

And you keep asking me if I would block all men from certain countries. I am honestly not sure. However someone coming here for a two week holiday obviously carries less risk than the same person being allowed to live here.

I think it’s important to understand the context. You’re not really opposed to asylum seekers, you’re opposed to men from certain countries - therefore no accommodation set up will satisfy you.

In terms of risk, I’d imagine it the other way round. A person who comes to live here surely has more to lose than someone on holiday (not many people come here on holiday from Afghanistan but I’ll go with it). In theory a person could commit a crime, leave and disappear. Never going to be extradited from there.

This doesn’t stack up given the crimes we’ve seen. Belfast, Brighton, the elderly man, Rhiannon Whyte’s perpetrator.

Here comes The Man.

He knows everything and every single migrant because he’s married to one, so clearly his experience trumps everything.

You're making it about my gender, when it really isn't.
Argue about the ideas and the issue, not the person....

@OneFunBrickNewt

You have pulled out every cliche about asylum seekers including “neurosurgeon”. Do you honestly think all these hotels/camps are stuffed with flippin’ neurosurgeons ? You’ve “read asylum claims” -ffs. No one is going to write, “I am a criminal fleeing justice in my own country. I thought I’d come to Britain for a house, benefits and for easy women.”

And then you mention “tatty flags”, “racism” - yeah yeah. We should all SHUT UP and if women are raped and assaulted then too bloody bad in your elevated view.

If we are talking about cliches, well this thread is full of just about every racist cliche known. Also I don't understand why your post is so aggressive?
Could you please point out where I've said women should all SHUT UP and I'd also be fascinated to learn where I've said I'd be happy for women to be raped?
Nope, didn't think so. How offensive.
It's not a cliche saying that in my extended family there is a neurosurgeon, it's a literal statement of fact. Hopefully you won't need to be operated on in the near future, but if you do, look at the ethnicity of many of the surgeons. It probably won't all be white British, and like my wife's relative, many of them may very well be offspring of asylum seekers.

You can choose not to believe fact- that really is your prerogative- but it is incredibly hard to be granted asylum in the UK if you are not a genuine claimant. Have a read of this

And I’m calling out your male privilege and mansplaining.

And you still don’t get it.

No I don't. Because this is a discussion about asylum seekers. Nothing to do with my gender. Presuming you're British (or an EU citizen?) we are both massively privelliged to live in a safe country with a passport that allows us to travel freely.

Gosh yes. His experience definitely supersedes the suffering of the immigrant rape victim I know. She's just collateral damage.

:Literally where have I said that? How offensive.

OneFunBrickNewt · 28/08/2026 19:20

Datafan55 · 22/08/2026 18:40

With the numbers coming in, that 75% is a huge amount of men though.

Lots of other countries also seem to be having problems with asylum seekers. What we provide them is incredibly generous.

I agree we have to vote with our feet where we can.

What part of a bed in a hostel-often with a racist, violent mob outside- medical care, and a few pounds a week is 'incredibly generous?'

I think reusing existing facilities for short term housing of asylum seekers while their applications are processed is a good idea, yes.

People have objected so strongly to the use of urban hotels for this purpose that they have tried to murder the occupants by burning the buildings. The government has responded by making it policy that hotels will no longer be used.

Where would you like to see asylum seekers housed while their applications are processed? Are you proposing to increase public spending to build new facilities somewhere? Where? Anywhere but near you?

Rwanda.

Switchnow · 21/08/2026 12:30

But back in reality, where the law says that people can only claim asylum on arrival in the UK, and that’s what is happening, and is not likely to change, where would you see these men housed?

Million of people walked into America under Biden - the American people were "not allowed to stop them", "if you stop them you will be prosecuted". Stopped almost immediately under Trump.

The only reason the arrival of these men is "not likely to change" is because the Government don't choose to take action.

MildlyMoist · 21/08/2026 12:30

The right to seek asylum is internationally recognised as a basic human right.

Your assertions show your immense privilege at living in a country which is stable and has democratic governance.

If you lived in other circumstances you would not be so quick to strip people of basic rights.

If our country was too dangerous we would be evacuating our children, or women and children like Ukraine. The men wouldn't just up and leave the women and children would they?
