And Even More Good News From Labour.

[gulliver1]

Yvette Cooper has announced that due to Labours fantastic fight against immigration, she is going to be able to close seven hotels that house immigrants, in the new year .     Well done Labour.

[gulliver1]

Ms Cooper says she has been able to order the closure of these hotels because her Govt had brought the Asylum back log down.

and the boats keep coming!

[saintpeter48]

You've got to feel sorry for the boat people, after all, theyre coming over here from war torn France!

[brainiac]

I wouldn't believe a thing she says - she's on film (as is Rayner) saying she supports the claims of the WASPI women, now denied what they deserve.

[ynnafymmi]

"in the New Year".....What year would that be Gulliver?

[Pegasus16]

Yet even more issues that this incompetent shambles of an amateur political party to totally mess up.

[Blubster]

Is she closing the hotels because she's giving them a free house each?

 

Just had an idea... with Angela Rayner's obsession with building new houses, why doesn't she build them on the Kent coastline? In that way, the illegals will be able to get out of their dinghies and go straight into their new, centrally heated, fully furnished, all expenses paid homes without having to get on a bus.

[theshedman]

Seven that's not bad but she has opened an extra 14 since she got the job so only shutting half of the new ones.

[davebro3]

And does anyone think these hotels are going to resume "business as normal" once the illegals move out? I doubt it.

[Old_Geezer]

You've got to feel sorry for the people muddled enough to see increased immigrant figures and convince themselves that, that indicates a fantastic fight against immigration.

[newmodarmy]

There's none so blind, etc

[Deskdiary]

Or has she just rubber-stamped them and hey presto they're no longer 'asylum seekers'?

[New Judge]

“You've got to feel sorry for the people muddled enough to see increased immigrant figures and convince themselves that, that indicates a fantastic fight against immigration.”

Indeed you have. It’s a shame really that people coninue to fall for this propaganda.

This year more than 35,000 people have arrived by small boat. Almost 22,000 of those since the General Election. The government claims to have returned 13,500 people since coming to office. It is said that the majority of those were voluntary and many were to places which would not have seen those removed arriving by small boat, such as Nigeria, Brazil and Columbia, who probably arrived legally on a visa and overstayed.

But let’s be kind (and probably foolish) by accepting that all  of those removed were originally illegal arrivals by small boat. The government claims that it is able to close the seven hotels because the asylum claim backlog has been reduced. The problem with that is,  35,000 have arrived, 13,500 have been removed. So where have the other 21,500 gone that are (apparently)  no longer trapped in the asylum backlog? Because they have certainly not been removed.

Note for Ms Cooper: At the end of October, the number of migrants living in hotels stood at 35,651 – an  increase of 20% in the previous three months. These were accommodated in 220 hotels, meaning an average of  around 160 per establishment. Last Thursday, Friday and Saturday, a total of 1,067 people arrived in 17 small boats. Those arrivals – in the space of just three days - will require almost exactly seven hotels with each holding 160 of them. So where have they been taken to if the number of hotels being used for migrants is being reduced?

“Or has she just rubber-stamped them and hey presto they're no longer 'asylum seekers'?”

She may have done that. Bu whatever they are now called, where have they gone?

So “Well done Labour” is perfectly appropriate. They’ve managed to pull the wool over the eyes of gullible people who take what they read on face value without thinking things through.

and you believe that???you should change your name to gulibble

[Deskdiary]

Once again gulliver1 gets schooled by NJ, just like the other day where gulliver1 didn't know the difference between the ECJ and the ECHR, and then pretended it was a typo. 

[THECORBYLOON]

Seven hotels have already been closed since July but fourteen new ones have been opened.

The seven to be closed in 2025 will mean no net change in the number since July.

[fender62]

they will never close them as long as illegals keep arriving, 7 closed, and another 8 opened somewhere else, where are they putting them, havent heard they are all living on the streets like a lot of the indigenous homeless, they don't count though as they are all drug addicts alcoholics have mental problems etc, they should head down to westminster council maybe get preferential treatment.
