Your thoughts? It is a good idea and the law needs to be changed to prevent the migrants leaving the bases. I understand why the councils are not happy especially given the £300 million proposed investment for the former Scampton base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Hardie Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Could be a smokescreen while they move them into private rented accommodation. A fantastic deal for landlords. https://www.serco.com/uk/sites/serco-aasc/landlords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that many of those objecting to these developments in their constituencies have high profile MPs James Cleverley in Essex, Edward Leigh in Lincolnshire, and Huw Merriment in Kent all voiced opposition to the Government policy. Which is a little embarrassing given that Cleverley and Merriment are members of the Government. Edited March 30, 2023 by Mister M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cressida Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) Are they going to run out of places to house them? It's only temporary atm Edited March 30, 2023 by cressida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Grey Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) Well there are currently 500,000 "asylum seekers" in temporary accommodation and 80,000 arrived last year so theyre gonna need a military base the size of Sheffield to house them all None of these people are being detained in hotels so we'll see them scatter like cockroaches as soon as they start moving people into these bases So thats hundreds of thousands of young men roaming around the country and we have no idea who they are, where theyre from or what crimes they have committed before they got here.

It is understandable locals do not want criminal migrants mainly young males living on their doorstep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollingJ Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Out of interest, why do they all seem to want to come here? is it because they see the UK as the 'Land of Milk & Honey'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes according to the gutter press, people on benefits live the life of Riley. No wonder they want to come here. Though they find out the hard way that the yellow press are just liars. Not that I think migrants or those seeking asylum want to claim benefits and do nothing. All the migrants I've spoken to have a strong work ethic.
