Concentration camps?!
 

Are you fricking kidding me?! With the amount of media scrutiny and attention the proposed camps will get they’re more likely to be better than a 5 Star glamping resort. If they ever happen.

Depends which media! The Fail or Torygraph will go into full bitch mode if the standard of accommodation is anything other than bare boards.

as will I and others. An upgrade from Calais.

I doubt there'll be anything selected, no matter how relatively suitable, outside England. Despite, the professed diversity and accommodation for all except English Tories in Scotland and Wales, the masks will slip off straight away at any suggestion of accommodating channel migrants at say Arbroath? The problem will instantly become an English one. If I'm wrong, then Humza, I'd have thought, would have made a public play to take advantage of the opportunity by now?!?!?!? I imagine, we're all as bad as each other when put to the test.

Not quite. I see four categories, with subsets in each:

Those who are receptive to migrants in their neighbourhood,.
NIMBYs who are basically receptive to migrants, both legal and illegal .
MIMBYs who are basically receptive to legal migrants with a good case and who behave.
NIMBYs who believe the bus is full, not even standing room, and would station the Brigade of Ghurkas along the beach.

NB definition of legal and illegal is a separate subject

Oh do stop! As for Lineker.........he should stick to talking about men running around after a ball!

Scottish Refugee Council condemns 'racist' Government language | HeraldScotland

Here we go, has this Scottish Refugee Council suggested to the Home Office that they can find room for taking refugees in? Is Scotland in the process of taking in refugees from the Channel Boats? I will stand corrected if they are meeting their rhetoric.

FB

Send 'em all there; they have ferries moored on the rivers already where some are kept.

As I said I'd stand corrected if they were already taking in numbers of asylum seekers as well, but I can't see what the Scottish Refugee Council are complaining about, regarding the UK Government, if barges etc are already being used to house the numbers in Scotland?

The hypocricy of Patel.
Adamanat that Linton was good but she's now fighting to stop the same in her own backyard.

Former home secretary Priti Patel is helping her local council in Essex with attempts to stop the Home Office using a former RAF station to house migrants.

Is it just me? Surely this thread should be in Jet Blast?

If it isn't to your taste, you don't have to jump in and read it.
It is VERY relevent to Military personnel at the bases being marked as fit for asylum centres.

How many Service personnel are affected at Weathersfield and Scampton? As distinct from former Service personnel who have settled in the immediate area.

WETHERSFIELD - no 'A'
If by 'affected' if you include MOD Police; their training base and all their personnel (families included) have been told to vacate.

I wonder if the MoD Plod and their families will be offered better digs? I presume some of the families could be well dug in there so it could be quite an upheaval for them. I never had a quarter for much more than 2 years and short notice moves were part of the Ts and Cs. It could be worse for civvies like the Police.

Who is affected at Scampton?

Menories of the Coastel at Stanley. How dare they have put Service personnel into such an environment? I found it perfectly acceptable, but then I was ashore and out of it for 12+ hours a day, at work.

The families in quarters there, it's still used for overspill from Waddington.

Does the plan move them out or leave them there?

At the moment they're staying.

Quite so. The commissioned Mobile Met Unit blokes frequently regale me with tales of two bunks and a wash basin in a rabbit hutch, but they soldiered on and most of the stories contain humour. "Everybody was in the same boat" Ho Ho.

A very drunken Flt Lt forecaster was thrust into his pit, asleep already, and vast amounts of Mess breakfast cereal poured over him.

[If there was a shortage of cereal, blame Met].
