The important thing to remember is the government are still pushing ahead with their Nationality and Borders bill condemned by the UNHCR..

I appreciate this post isn’t aimed at me, but you could give any address? No one would know if it was yours or not.

They would if they decided to come knock on my door. My point was that I do not hide behind my keyboard. If someone was that interested in wishing to discuss face to face why would I not give my address.

I was wondering myself why the government hadn't already announced that Buck House would be turned over to house refugees. You could fit in a lot in the 775 rooms.
Once all the precious things have been packed away what reasons are there not to house refugees?
Time to set an example ma'am. Do the right thing.

£350 a month to host an immigrant who had a been displaced by war. Unless they’re brown and they’ve been displaced; in part, by us, then fingers crossed they die in the sea on the way here.
What a country.
What a country.

With 6 kids and Nanny all living in the house, JRM might have trouble fitting in more than a couple of dozen in his Mansion.

Am I surprised? Nope. Thatcher started using the police force as a political tool and it has continued, to a greater or lesser degree, ever since.
So the "instutionally corrupt" Met police is now being used to protect a Russian oligarch's property. Shame on them.

A few hours ? I wonder if we will get the same sort of response at Waterhall this summer
If I didn't have a 7 year old, I would.
It's not a Ukranian thing, I wouldn't trust anyone I don't know in the house with my little one (students, overseas or otherwise)

I can't believe the amount of abuse the OP has received for pointing out how it would affect someone in his situation. I hope the self righteous on here who criticise will indeed take someone in and, if they are in that that position, donate the £350 to another worthwhile cause.

Saying he was "insulted" was a bit strong, I might have said it was a shame if I couldn't afford to do it, but not an insult.
But most councils will let you keep single person discount if you take in a refugee (either for a period of time 3-6 months, or longer). And although gas / electric / water might increase slightly, I am not sure it is hugely beyond what is already being paid.
My point was the thought of you calling the 6' 4"Big Nuts a c*** to his knife scarred face.
Personally I have no interest in knowing where you live.
Will be interesting to see how this hosting initiative plays out in the context of this relatively recent phenomenon era of 'shaming.'
Already on BBC Breakfast this morning the host (Charlie Stayt) asked Sajid Javid if he would be taking in refugees, which doesn't really progress the debate much. Of course, Sajid Javid didn't want to answer that question directly and simply said he had been discussing with his wife what they could do as a family. What he should have said is, "No, I won't be hosting any refugees. But since you ask, will you?"
I can imagine there will be lots of people suggesting others should put themselves forward for hosting refugees - whilst stating particular circumstances that prevent them from doing so themselves. For the record I shan't be hosting any refugees but at the same time I won't be looking around and suggesting other people do what I'm not prepared to do myself.
