All very well in principle but do you really think migrants risk everything for £7 a day, to live in a floating barge, two to a room, and old army barracks, and, in reality, negligible health checks?
Even the children had their cartoons painted over in case it looked too welcoming.
The "random Muslim (carrying a knife) who was arrested" on the night of the vigil that some suggested prompted the riots turned out to be white bloke Jordan Davies.
Language is an important reason for asylum-seekers coming to the UK (probably the second most popular reason, after family connections). Asylum-seekers rightly feel that it will be easier to make a new life in a country where they can speak the language. It's the same reason why most British emigrants choose an English-speaking destination when they leave the UK (albeit, obviously, Brits aren't forced to leave for their personal safety, etc).

You may be right there.
I bloody hope so
I see 8 “protesters” were nicked in Sunderland. I’m willing to bet none are affected by their alleged concerns, most will be from outside the area, all will have jobs and at least one will also be charged for possession of a class A controlled substance.
Because English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world and there are a number of communities here of different faiths, ethnicities and nationalities to support them.

Rarely do Brits learn the language when they live elsewhere. They are ‘expats’, not immigrant, and the ‘locals’ need their money. They stick to their ‘expat communities’ and often don’t integrate.
A friend of mine, living in Spain, used to get annoyed by their arrogance, not paying local tax because they hadn’t registered themselves.
Many were caught out, once Brexit happened, having to leave their properties and the country.
When did that come in ?

Hesitating to write this, being somewhat woke & left wing myself...
But 7.7, the Manchester Arena bombing, Glasgow airport, Lee Rigby, Westminster bridge, London bridge/Borough market, Parsons Green, Westminster car attack, Manchester Victoria attack, London bridge stabbing, Reading stabbings, Hartlepool stabbings & more may not affect us directly but indicate a collective threat now & in the future, that affects us all & are worthy of a conversation.
I'm thoroughly on the side of the police & the government against the scummy mob on the recent riots, to clarify

Hull, protesters gathered outside a hotel which has been used to house asylum seekers. We’ve seen the crowd throwing concrete bricks and smashing windows with glass bottles, shouting ‘get them out’.”
You surely have your finger on the pulse.
Racist pricks
There is a pretty common term. Centrist. Which is what starmer is really.

A Sunderland priest said yobs tried to smash a gravestone to act as missiles during a night of violence in the city.
The Reverend Jacqui Tyson called it an "act of sacrilege" and "remarkably lacking in common sense".
She said: "They were trying to break up one of the graves in the minster.
