Can someone tell us the correct noun for a group of migrants/asylum seekers?

[mazie]

A Sadness :o(

[stuey]

An "infernal insidious infestation"?

[whiskeryron]

What a load of b*****s from labour yet again, you are probably aware I am no Tory follower, but when referring to a group of people or for that matter anything else what does it matter how a group is referred to ?

[dustypuss]

A Cadge or Cadging .

[New Judge]

Or perhaps a "ride" of (as in "taken for a ride").

An "army" seems appropriate since they seem intent on invading Europe.

[dannyk13]

An inundation

[Patsy33]

A large number would be suffice.....

[naomi24]

It would be nice to think the Labour party had more important things to think about. I can't help feeling that this sort of puerile stupidity has been instrumental in leading them into the hopeless situation in which they now wallow.

[EDDIE51]

A 'mingling'of migrants has a certain 'ring'to it !

[Svejk]

A Labour Constituency?

[whiskeryron]

Hear,hear naomi.

[ChillDoubt]

Perhaps a magnetism of migrants, given that they're all drawn to the UK?

[Peter Pedant]

// A Cadge or Cadging .//

I was thinking of a Demand of immigrants

but hey what is wrong with a collective ? [ coz they collect money see, yeah good innit ? ]

[naomi24]

Thanks Ron. They just don't get it, do they.

[Peter Pedant]

// Thanks Ron. They just don't get it, do they. //

no no Naomi

or should that be: Ney Neigh Nigh !

They DO get it - that is what you and the usual suspects complain about !
[ they get benefits I mean - good pun huh ? if you um er get it (the pun I mean ) ]

[Prudie]

deary deary me. Why is a bunch of flowers romantic and evocative of beauty but a bunch of migrants is 'offensive, hurtful and divisive'?

[sandyRoe]

A Desperation.
There's all just now of the'kinder transport' which brought children to safety here in the UK. Should they have been allowed to stay and take their chances in the gas chambers?

[Canary42]

Naomi, you obviously don't understand the function of Her Majesty's Opposition. The Labour comment was highly appropriate on that occasion (PMQ), and certainly not an ongoing obsession as you imply.
