Will housing asylum seekers on disused military bases save money and stop protestors?

The government says it is working to close hotels used to house people waiting for their asylum claims to be processed, at a cost of millions of pounds.

Not asylum seekers

Maybe we should fulfill all needs, rather than deny/refuse the needs?

How long does the government expect to keep these men at this camp ? …….. indefinitely ?
Where do they go afterwards !!!

How will it save money?
These 'undocumented' blokes will still cost us tens of thousands each per year in board, food, medical bills etc etc.
That's before the legal processing costs.

Muslims voluntarily use "Sharia councils" for personal matters like religious divorce and inheritance, but these are faith-based charities, not formal courts, and have no power to override UK law.

The right wingers don't want you to know that, they want you angry so you vote for them and they can then enjoy the benefits of being in power. They don't give a damn about you, me or anyone else. Same as most people in government. Don't be a mug.

No. Hotels are not the problem as such. Hotels, Camps, HMOs, etc, same difference. The taxpayers are still paying for them. They are still in this country and are a financial drain on the UK public, in many different ways. None of them positive.

Far right blame is a mental health condition not related to political policies. It can only be understood in terms of psychology.

I’m happy for these refugees to be housed in Bicester
I don’t live there, mind you, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing for them to make 😂

If the community says no it should mean no. The government is not on the side of its own people.

The British government are completely out of ideas. They are hoping huge amounts of migration keeps GDP going, even at the snails pace it is. They do not care how much disruption it causes, or that GDP per capita stagnates and starts to fall. Or risk to safetThey just keep kicking the can down the road. And no, not all people turning up on boats are seeking "asylum" from dangerous countries, are they channel 4, that much is very evident. They know the UK is a soft touch.
