  1. We already did this with Ukrainian refugees, it’s not a new idea. Worked well as a temporary measure but very expensive in the long term.

    A better idea might be to process asylum claims much, much more efficiently. Eg in France. Or in the UK, but within a month at most.

  2. Just do you job and process them. Stop mucking around with whacky ideas so you can posture about being tough.

  3. How about we use disused ferries for the House of Commons and use the money it needs spending on it to knock it down and build affordable housing?

  4. Yes…yes I like where this is going.

    We’re gonna put ‘em on ships then we’re gonna sail to a new place and then we gonna take ‘em off the ships and put em to work.

    And we’re gonna do an evaluation at the docks and see if any of the capitalists wanna pay for ‘em and for the valuable ones we hold an auction.

    This is the kind of forward thinking and innovation we need.

  5. There’s been more immigration to the Uk in the last 25 years than the 2000 years before that!!! It’s becoming a joke now. We can’t house everyone, & while I won’t be voting reform the left wing ignorance & arrogance towards this will push more people to vote that way. The left wing in this country will deserve it when they get in too.64

  6. Well your party got rid of our merchant seamen on the ships, leading to a race to the bottom wages-wise as British companies registered their vessels in the IOM or Panama or any other flag of convenience country. May as well use the vessels for something.

  7. Yessss now we thinking!! Put them on cruise ships to Rowanda at the expense of people who can’t even afford gas for winter !!!

  8. LOL, its like a plan Dick Dastardly would concoct. “Come immigrants, board this totally disused ship *(that just so happens to be filled with just enough gas in its tank to go to Rwanda)* and live in comfort and peace!”

  9. This government should just send them to Arachis, make them harvest Spice and squeeze their bodies for water once they are too weak to continue. (/S)

  10. Maybe follow Australia and make it so arriving illegally by boat means you can’t claim asylum or ever get permission to remain. Where do we put 1000+ people arriving PER DAY?
