Good to see they provided storage for all the crews colostomy bags
Surely the khazi at RAF Nicosia, shared by Ops, Met and ATC, and 50 yards away, building 706 or 716, is high on the squalis list?
A sinking unirrigated urinal trough, and a single deep drop thunderbox [said to house rats] and no lights.
Thus: the prize hollyhocks along the Met. wall, watered day and night, and chronic constipation for all.

Nah, it'll be cheaper to continue to pay hotel rates than upgrade the buildings, considered acceptable to service folks, to a fit standard expected by asylum seekers.

I regret to say I think you've hit the nail on the head. And of course hotels aren't added to the books - they just "emergency" payments - which helps the Treasury

Personally i would have them sleeping on the streets as they do in France, it just gives them another incentive to come here, and those that complain and riot about the hotel accomodation would find themselves on a plane back home.
I find the situation disgusting that we are putting up asylum seekers in Hotels, when born and bred British homeless citizens are forced to sleep on the streets of this Country and have to gain meals from charity organisations, when illegal immigrants and asylum seekers are given hotel rooms, meals and funds for other items etc.

"Asylum seekers receive three varied meals a day, designed to cater for cultural difference and that meet NHS Eatwell Standards."
They added: "All asylum seekers in hotels are provided with full board accommodation with three meals a day served as well as all other essentials, including cash payments where eligible.
"Those in full-board accommodation receive the £8.24 weekly payment to cover essential living items.
"This is intended to cover clothing, non-prescription medicine and travel.

Good luck Scampton.
Oh, and to those who cried NIMBY at those of us who objected to the Linton plan - I hope you live near Scampton and go through the absolute hell Linton villagers went through.

And these people have to go somewhere. Under the government s new law, a 18 year old woman, who has been a sex slave since she was 11, has been gang-raped hundreds of times and who is illegally trafficked to the UK on a small boat, will be deported without any chance at all to ask for help. It is utterly shameful I am afraid.

I do have to wonder if you have a TV. Have you seen what’s happening in Ukraine? That is absolute hell. Housing some asylum seekers in your sleepy village in safe and beautiful North Yorkshire does not even register on the ‘hell’ scale.

2. The new rules only apply to those not coming from identified war zones such as Ukraine, Afghanistan etc.
3. Of the 45,000 that arrived in the last year, a third were from Albania, where there is no conflict and they are a EU candidate nation. Others were from Bangladesh, Pakistan and India, where there is an established asylum route.
4. Both the EU, and EU member states, including Germany who did much to create the current crisis, are looking at deportation to third states.
5. Why isn't the 18 year old woman's home state doing more to stop her being gang-raped? Shouldn't the government do more to hold other nations to account for their human rights, rather than just accepting endless streams of people?
6. There are accepted routes for asylum, the new rules only apply to those arriving by boat.
7. The English channel is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world; when would you recommend, and how would you recommend the problem is solved? By accepting people, more will come and the beaches of Kent will see bodies of those that didn't make it washed up on a regular basis.
8. 45,000 people is a new hospital, several schools, 2-3 GP clinics and 10-15000 new homes a year..... that's just those arriving by dinghy. Our resources are not infinite.

Linton was never suitable as a site. Sadly the two clowns at the Home Office who were responsible for saying it was are still employed.
Good luck Scampton.

I would like to point out I have not a problem with those coming from Ukraine, nor those who helped us in Afghanistan, simply those who are migrant workers etc and have past through the likes of EU countries to arrive here.
I am a firm believer in that Government funding should be aimed and prioritised at getting UK residents first and foremost, some who have often paid into the system, off the streets and into accomodation before asylum seekers.
The problem is when homeless you do not have an address, therefore you cannot claim benefits, nor hold a bank account or get employment, it is a disgusting merry go round for them, some who are ex servicemen, if our country cannot repay their service in kind and support them, who can, those are the ones that need helping first to get themselves back into society.

Priceless.
You are deluded if you think these immigrants are Ukranian war-migrants. They are not.
Linton "guests" were to be 1500+ SINGLE men aged between 18 and 45 free to roam in a village of 600-folks, no local facilities, and very little transport links.
You need to wake up and not fall for the "poor souls" bull****.
Ukranians would have been most welcome at Linton. Those from France that hav epassed numerous safe countries to get to Calais and then elected to enter the country illegally were not, especially given the demographic shift it would have had.
As I say. Good luck Scamptom. https://thelincolnite.co.uk/2023/03/...J2R48rX9x9da38

And it just gets worse
Plans for a major £300million investment at RAF Scampton could be “totally scuppered” by Home Office plans to house asylum seekers there, the company behind the proposals have said.
West Lindsey District Council confirmed earlier this week that it was working with development partner Scampton Holdings Limited to buy the former RAF Scampton site.
Leaders called it a “landmark deal” which would preserve, protect and enhance the site by providing aviation heritage, business, aerospace, space and aviation technology and education opportunities.
iIn an interview with BBC Radio Lincolnshire on Friday, Peter Hewitt the boss of Scampton Holdings told Sean Dunderdale warned that the “very exciting opportunity” was at risk.
“This could be totally scuppered by the Home Office ideas of putting some 1500 migrants on the site,” he said.
“What this will do will mean, we just can’t start and deliver this at all, because [people] are contained within fences. They are going to be free to wander around and that, of course, is rather inconsistent with running an airfield and air-side operations.”
Asked if the plans could work side-by-side, Mr Hewitt said: “No, I don’t think it could”.
Details also emerged of the size and location of the migrant camp.
Mr Hewitt said the Home Office were planning to use 5% of the site, which equated to around 40 acres, while West Lindsey wanted to redevelop 130 acres.
“So, actually it comprises 30% of what we’re trying to deliver, but worse than that it is bang in the area that we are planning for the space zone and that is the area that would be first to be developed.
“So no, it just does not work frankly.”
The space area is located at the north east corner of the airfield (in red on the artists’ impressions), alongside the A15.
Mr Hewitt confirmed a brief meeting with West Lindsey had already been held and said there was “not a huge amount of enthusiasm” for the Home Office plans.
He said there were numerous other sites that could be used which were “far more suitable” and “don’t have the major loss of this major levelling up opportunity”.
“Do you want a £300 million redevelopment with all the benefits that go with that in terms of numbers of people that are going to get jobs, or do you want 1500 migrants? It seems a pretty pretty binary choice to me.”

Can they not simply hire a cruise ship for them?
This is a national scandal. The current government [which seems not attempt to govern] was elected, inter alia, to sort the illegal immigration. In other words, to defend our borders from arrivals through unauthorised means.
As I understand it, every arrival has passed through a country in which he/she could claim asylum, so for them we are a destination of choice. What not to like?
There are not many do-gooders in the poorer parts of Kent, the do-gooders live in leafy suburbs and cosy villages.
Charity begins at home, and the poor of our country are using community larders of necessity. Our village of 700 houses has a larder that is run by the church and is in constant use, while 21 year old males posing as children with moustaches live in warm hotels, well fed and with cash handouts.
WAKE UP UK, YOU ARE BEING TAKEN FOR SUCKERS.
