The Home Office is attempting to use three more military sites in Bicester, Barnham and Linton-on-Ouse to house thousands of asylum seekers, as the government seeks to move people out of hotels. Justice minister Jake Richards told #BBCBreakfast the sites could house about 3,750 asylum seekers, if planning permission is granted, as well as looking to extend the use of existing military sites in Crowborough until 2030 and Wethersfield beyond 2027.

Reform have been saying that refugees go to the top of the housing list - this is a lie. While claims are processed asylum seekers have no access to social housing. If granted legal status then they still get no special treatment - and are typically at the *back* of the queue

Victoria Derbyshire, "You're going to build new homes for asylum seekers?" Darren Jones, "No. The total number of people waiting for a decision, that number is coming down already.. If you're not entitled to be here, you return" "Where people are granted asylum to stay in the UK, it's right we offer them supported housing to live in, but then they get a job and pay in the rental market like everyone else does" "What we're not doing is paying hotels a nightly fee for hotel rooms"

Keir Starmer crucifies Rishi Sunak over the Rwanda Scheme at #PMQs Did you know, if it did pass, we would only be able to send 100 asylum seekers to Rwanda? There are 75,492 asylum seekers in the UK. We are paying Rwanda over £150 million to take 100 asylum seekers. And the agreement also means we take up to 100 asylum seekers from Rwanda. So we aren't shifting the problem away, we're moving asylum seekers around like a game, all the while to appease people who want the UK to crackdown on asylum seekers, while keeping the total number of asylum seekers in the UK the same. If you think the Rwanda sceheme is fixing the asylum seeking system or backlog? Think again. The government thinks you're stupid. And if you believe their dog whistling, I suspect you probably are.

What would you want to happen to you if this country was an unliveable basketcase -audience claps- and that is your answer" "France takes 3x more asylum seekers than we do.

Spend the Rwanda money on 6,000 case workers" "What would be a deterrent? 25% are not genuine asylum seekers. If we had a government that was competent enough to deal with the backlog, and then remove the people who are not asylum seekers, that would be a deterrent" "The Rwanda plan is a waste of time. A waste of your money that could be spent on the NHS" "They're playing politics with the lives of the most desperate people on the planet" "What 0.2% of all asylum seekers will go to Rwanda. Is that really a deterrent?" "Either Rwanda is a safe place, in which case it will not be a deterrent. Or it is an unsafe place and no decent government would ever send anyone there"

The Home Secretary told us she will never “seek to stir up chaos, division or hate” – yet that is what we have seen this summer. Instead of scapegoating refugees & asylum seekers, perhaps the Home Secretary needs to be thinking about more humane policies, including safe routes.

Asylum seekers housed in an active Irish military base! Judging by the reaction to the diversity in the Irish military announcement, it appears a lot of people are not aware that the government is already housing migrants in an active military base, with hundreds more housed in other former army barracks around the country.

Breaking News: Brits to be forced out of their own homes for Asylum seekers. Private properties to be compulsory purchased for Asylum Seekers and seized. People told that their houses may be too big for them and forcibly downgraded while their properties are given to Asylum seekers. Private property rights being torn up and Brits being told to give up their properties for illegal migrants and asylum seekers. Such is the scale of massive illegal immigration perpetrated by the globalists who have infiltrated our government and parliament in the UK that Tent cities are now expected to be seen. British people are being told that they may be forced to sell their properties or move out of them to make way for illegal migrants. How much longer will the long suffering Brits tolerate politicians who openly despise them and who pass legislation that forces them out of their own homes in their own countries? #UK #Justice

WOW 🚨 England Home Office decision will house illegal migrants on military bases These migrants won’t be required to stay in the barracks, meaning they’ll be infrastructure concerns since these male illegals will be on military bases Liberals are bringing down Europe “Now this news of this legal challenge that could bring more upheaval to that asylum policy. This is important for the government because the government wants to move forward with a system where they can take asylum seekers out of the hotels — and they want to move towards the use of military barracks, either presently used or former military barracks and other suitable sites. That they can put these migrant camps within, but the residents here in this East Sussex town are fighting back because they say that it's completely unsuitable to put, as the government is planning, more than 500 young male asylum seekers in an area where there is just not the infrastructure and real concerns among local people that you have young men who won't be confined to these barracks. It's not a secure accommodation centre. They will be allowed to wander free in the local towns and villages in that area. That's what is so concerning to people in the Croydon area.”

UK: Asylum seekers living in taxpayer-funded hotels are systematically shoplifting thousands of pounds worth of designer goods from stores across London. They use special foil-lined bags to bypass security tags, hit multiple high-end stores in one day, and then return to their hotels with the stolen items. Security staff say that around 70% of shoplifters in central London are asylum seekers. Many are repeat offenders. When caught, they often show their asylum documents, knowing that very little will happen to them. Police rarely attend, and even when they do, the consequences are minimal. This is not random petty theft. It has become an organized and widespread problem, with some migrants reportedly stealing to pay off debts to the people smugglers who brought them to Britain. Britain is importing crime on an industrial scale — and then housing the perpetrators in hotels at the public’s expense. How much longer will this be allowed to continue?

ELON: THE AMOUNT OF LAWFARE WE’VE SEEN UNDER THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS OUTRAGEOUS “The amount of lawfare that we're seeing taking place [under the Biden administration] is outrageous. There are many examples, but the Department of Justice, for example, launched a huge lawsuit against SpaceX for failing to hire asylum seekers. Not those who were granted asylum, asylum seekers. There's a law called International Traffic and Arms Regulations. [It says that] because SpaceX develops advanced missile technology that can be used in nuclear ICBMs, we have to be very careful with who we hire. We can only hire someone if they're a permanent resident or a citizen. That's what the ITAR law says. Then there's another law that says that you cannot discriminate against asylum seekers. So, we're damned if we do, damned if we don't. The DOJ did a massive lawsuit against SpaceX for failing to hire asylum seekers, even though it is illegal for us to hire asylum seekers under ITAR law. This is an actual thing that's going on. And they can only do a fairly small number of lawsuits every year. So, why did they pick this one? Lawfare.” Source: Interview with Tucker Carlson, October 2024
