All that prep says they have no intention of reducing either volume or fixing the processing issues..
I get the feeling that Stockholm syndrome will be given a new definition soon.
Looks nicer than war and persecution to me, I’ve stayed in worse ‘hotels’.
Facilities don’t look bad, they just need to speed up the processing times.
that’s not a lot of space is it. Probably better than migrant camps in Calais and what have you, but 550-odd males on a barge with as few as 4 security guards? one or two of whom will presumably be permanently staffing the scanners on entry.
So whilst I don’t think this is the best solution for the problem. I will say as someone that was made homeless at 16 years old, and had to stay in a hostel. The facilities on this barge are much better than what I was given. The rooms are bigger, the bathrooms are nicer, they have a gym, and the TV and computers probably work too, they even have a canteen to eat, and a kitchen for food preparation. Everything after the gym I and many others don’t get in a hotel. Hell they even have a better outdoor space. Just saying it’s all well and good, providing them with accommodation but we also need to improve many hostels, and council housing too.
Looks like a luxury floating hostel to me, with the advantages of healthcare, a canteen, a gym. There should be no reason for them to complain. I hope though that the locals don’t have any major problems.
I wish my £1000 a month room also came with a gym, canteen and basketball court!
They should make them less appealing, and force the unemployed to live on them too, rather than paying them housing benefits, to free up housing for productive members of the nation state. They can be released if they get a job. Its not right that such people get handouts while I work hard for the same thing. I mean, why not if this is OK?
*Ms Palk said migrants will get an induction and orientation pack when they arrive, which will tell them where they are and provide them with advice on how to behave in the local community, such as “not to hang around in large groups of people”*

Didnt know that this is against “British values”
Looks better than my uni halls
Homeless people going to the council wouldn’t have this help. Hell it’s better than homeless hostels
So on 18th July, there was 574 migrants coming on the boats, 297 on 19th, 291 on 20th.
Seems like we are going to need a new barge every day or two if this continues.
Imagine having to be a security officer on a barge with 500 people. Yikes.
Reminds me of Murano Street, which will be memorable to any Glasgow Uni alumni.
