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.

How do you mean that an inner city area is defined so it would be smaller than Piddington? Do you mean geographically or in terms of population?

geographically, it's one council ward but very heavily populated due to lots of HMOs, both official and unofficial, the house next door to me, a two up two down had about 10 people there at one time. There are also a few hostels, one is purpose built and the other is a large house that has been converted. So a lot of people, some of whom have multiple issues and needs all sharing a small space. There used to be a crack house over the road from me and near the local nursery but it was boarded up after residents campaigned to have it closed down.

Is it only racist when the working classes complain about immigration?

Sadly, it is precisely the middle class Piddington folks who were in support of illegal migration, when these men were being dumped in working class areas. They were quick to call those who oppose it “far right”.
If a lot of white people were dumped in a small village in Afghanistan it would be called “colonialism” rather than “multiculturalism”.
This wake up call is needed.

Exactly this.

I’m surprised at people saying they’d be fine with it, especially if they have DDs.

They're lying.

Also as has previously been mentioned their houses will become relatively worthless. I wouldn't move there if you paid me to.

The spokesman for Piddington was on talk radio this morning. Don’t know what his job is, but clearly something that enables a person to give smug, glib, assured replies. Clearly confident that they will ultimately shift the load elsewhere to a community less privileged and articulate. He admitted that the reason they can count 400 votes today is to maximize the PR effect by announcing tomorrow.
They don’t want their lives disrupted and their house prices affected - they’ll probably get away with it and return to their luxury beliefs and rural idyll, and the burden be borne by the less articulate urban working (yes working, not on ‘benefits’) class areas that Labour despise.
Any sympathy I had for Piddington evaporated listening to him.
Not that he would remotely care -he is smugly confident that he’ll get them out of Piddington, and his normal privilege will resume…

I don't know what % asylum seekers are but expecting a community of 350 to take 1250 is clearly wildly disproportionate

Piddington should take their share of asylum seekers like anywhere else and their share would probably be 1 man not 1250!

I find the argument that these men are in any way 'dangerous' incredibly dehumanising and racist. There is no evidence that these men will be any more of a problem than your average Nigel or Donald. The people of Piddington have a chance to welcome these refugees with open arms and show them the tolerance and understanding of the West but instead they show the real underbelly that is hidden in our rotten society.

They should be ashamed of themselves, I thought the Middle Class were better than this.

There is plenty of evidence if you want to see it (which I don't imagine you do). Look at Swedish statistics when they were kept and published. Look up who was responsible for gang rapes. Look up why bombing people's private houses became a thing. Or stick your head back in the sand - up to you.

I understand the people of Piddington’s concerns, but I think there’s an element of nimbyism at play here. As Lisa Nandy said, in poorer areas (including where I live) houses have been turned into HMOs to house these people at an alarming rate. Why should poorer areas alone have to shoulder that burden? Of course, ultimately it is the government’s responsibility to stop the small boats coming in the first place.

Are there 3.5 asylum seekers for every local where you live too then? Like there will be in Piddlington?

First of all these men are not 'asylum seekers'. They are illegal immigrants.

Why would anyone pay to risk their lives crossing the channel in boats when they could buy an airline ticket? The reason?... because they are illegal immigrants and would never be allowed into the country.

There is plenty of evidence that they do not want to integrate and the fact that they have to be told not to rape women and girls says it all.

The asylum seekers need to be told not to rape men and boys also.

Since the Cardiff choir boy debacle they don’t want to collate stats, what stats we have and from the rest of Europe are terrifying - we need to smell the coffee and insist on stats and also make sure the barracks are secure, just because they’ve been given leave to remain doesn’t mean they’re from Manchester, Birmingham, Piddington and the like. And can anyone explain why Afghans are some of the worst offenders?

Asylum seekers represent 0.14% of the UK population, Piddington's fair share is 0.5 of a person. 1250 men is more than the City of Manchester's fair share.

There are 3.5 times as many per person in my local area than there are in the wider Piddington area. It wasn't a problem until it affected them directly.

And of course the gvt will gratefully seize this as a face saving way to back down -sadly the inner city citizens who are worst affected don’t have that get-out.

About 25% of my street is HMOs. Perhaps if the residents of Piddington don’t want them housed in the barracks, Clearsprings or similar could buy up a quarter of the properties there and convert them into HMOs instead? They’re raking it in from housing these people so could surely afford it.

I don't know why people keep talking about 'statistics' from countries like Denmark or Sweden when we are talking about the UK here. As far as I am aware there is no data to suggest that asylum seekers are any more of a danger to people than your average British citizen. Please stop playing into Russia's hands as they desperately attempt to divide the wonderful multicultural unity that has made Britain strong for the past 30 years.

The goveerment have been not collecting certain data and blocking othet data from getting released

Therefore people can only go on the data from other european counties.

This shows some striking statistical facts about first and second generation migrant men from certain counties. We can ignore these facts until the population of men from tbose counties increases like it is going to do or deal witb tbe issue head on.

I don't think sticking your head in the sand about this issue until the goverment finally decide to gather and publish UK data is a good long term tactic when it comes to these matters

We seem to be living in a parallel universe - one where we see rapes and murders and grooming every day on our feeds from these illegals and one where liberals are in complete denial - I want it to stop!

They believe in equal opportunity for global rapists and murderers in Britain, they don't deny that at all. As far as they are concerned it's an equality duty to provide victims in order to have equal representation.
