We have to be careful with regards defining all of these "visitors" as scum an dother highly emotive terms. The issue is they are all "unknowns" and if 99.8% of them are perfectly decent, law abiding young men who want to better themselves in life then that leaves the 0.2% (1 person) intent on doing harm to a member of the community. It only takes 1 to commit a murder, or a rape, or a serious assault. They have the freedom to do that and a freedom to disappear into the night, never to be found again.
The govt. is spending a lot of money on this, accommodation is available. I wonder how many homeless veterans would appreciate a safe, warm and facility-loaded place to stay FOC.
Absolutely SWB........surely a stain on this nations character. If we can't look after those who've sworn allegiance and served this country but fallen through the cracks in the system, dear god, what are we thinking of? Charity begins at home. At the very least, this facility should be secure. It's been stated that there's been NIMBYism and xenophobia on display here.......well, I'd say there's also some breathtaking naivety on display. If these young single males think they're headed to Rwanda, they'll bomb burst. Anyone who thinks it's a good idea, put your money where your mouth is..........sponsor them and let 'em have the spare bedroom. In what universe can the rights of complete unknowns outweigh those of the residents of Linton or Manston?
