Popular Post Denim Posted November 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) I think the government is blind to where this is leading. Since this problem is clearly not going away but rather is getting worse , literally , with each passing day , they need to start planning ahead on how to accommodate all the migrants that will continue to arrive in the future. What will they do when all the hotels are full up ? If all the hotels are full ,where will tourists , who generate income and jobs , stay ? I mention a solution in another thread and I still think it has a lot of merit. Better than sticking heads in the sand and praying the issue will resolve itself. My suggestion is that the government invests in purchasing a decommissioned cruise ship or two, anchor it off shore , and use it to house arriving immigrants. Many of these ships are being sent to scrap before their time since covid completely destroyed the cruise ship business. People paid a lot to go on a cruise and so nobody could say that the accommodation is below par. Private cabins with all facilities , many eating areas and kitchens , swimming pools , cinemas etc. Immigrants could be housed on the ships until their claim for asylum has been processed. The Carnival Inspiration( pictured below ) could handle 2000 passengers when it was operating. And if it doesn't work out at least some money will have been saved and the ship is collateral that can be sold for scrap.

Illegal immigrants, by default criminals, not migrants. Should be the same as here- put them in a detention centre until they pay the fare back, they paid thousands for the boat ride after all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could be from Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan or plenty other war-torn places. You should be proud they want to come to Great Britain. So much better than all those EU countries we left behind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been reported, even on the BBC, that most of those arriving on boats are Albanians, a country they cannot claim asylum from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post worgeordie Posted November 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2022 I was watching Panorama yesterday about the state of housing in the UK, the rents are through the roof , one guy paying 880 quid a month for a room which he could touch the walls with his outstretched arms ,damp , toilet not working , another family ,4 kids , they have to get out just before Xmas as the landlord wants to renovate and get more rent. they went to the council looking for a house , nothing doing......so no houses for British people ....but another Panorama about the cost of food over there , everybody cutting back, the food banks cannot cope ,I am just glad I got away ,expect crime is rampant, if things are so sh!t over there ,why are the immigrants /refugees riskinging their lives , spending 1000's ,when they are already safe in France ,or another European country they traveled through , I don't know why people complain about Thailand .....it's like Nirvana ,to me anyway. regards worgeordie 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Back on-topic. If I were in the hotel's position, I would turn down the offer too. Considering what these "migrants" are prepared to do when they don't get what they want, I'd run, fast! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJAS Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Wonder what Basil Fawlty would have made of such an offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Mickmanus Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I wonder how people like *Thurgone* (SP) feel about this ? The Brit guy who went back to live in the U.K recently and will soon be homeless and is looking to get to Cambodia because he has nowhere to live in the UK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
