Cleverly U-turns on major plan to use luxury flats for asylum seekers after backlash from fuming locals

1. These were the 1400pcm flats reported earlier in the week.

   Absolute fucking disgrace they were even considered.

   My rent is £387.50. While on universal credit the max they would pay towards it was £350.

2. It’s a disgrace that it was even considered to give these to people who have never paid a penny in tax. Yet, those that have lived here all their lives can barely afford rent. Or have been made homeless due to the cost of living.

3. Eagerly awaiting the high on copium comments attacking the source instead of the content

4. I see no problem with asylum seeker accommodation, as long as existing homeless and waiting list people are accommodated first.

5. Which chum of the Tory party owned the flats?

   And it is GB”news”; an oxymoron if there ever was one.

6. Were they ever really intending to house them there or is it political redmeat to drive up the divide over immigration on a looming election?

7. Okay what is up with these right-wing news and commentators late into the night? It has happened a few times already

8. The media and tory party loves trying to get people up in arms over asylum seekers. Guess they like to avoid corruption in parliament, corruption in the tory party and the fact we literally cannot tax the rich in this country so have to turn to taxing ordinary working people stupidly high amounts to pay for a country which is completely on its arse in every way after 13 years of poor policies from the Conservative Party.

   Short memories too, I remember when they were content with killing off vast amounts of the population during lock down whilst breaking the rules themselves, attempting to corrupt the workings of the courts and the civil service whilst doing multiple lines of cocaine at illegal lock down parties wherein they mocked the British public.

9. Anyone who has been flat-hunting will know the term “luxury” means nothing. They’ll label the most dingy pit as luxury. Also GB news is incendiary. Anything they post should be verified from another news source.

10. Was this even a legitimate consideration or just something they came up with to try to make people angrier at the asylum seekers?

11. Reddit is dead and especially this subreddit, this website has just become another avenue for right wing schategoating propaganda now. 15 posts about immigration a day now. 2 minutes of hate coming soon.

    Filled with bots and mouthbreathers now, the mods are absolutely useless or on the pay.

12. Absolutely mental how instead of all this nonsense they could have just funded the border force properly and maintained the processing and rejection rate we had previously.

13. No wonder they decide to come here if we keep doling stuff like this to them.

    Give them nix, nought, nothing–no allowance, bread butter and a bowl of rice as their meals, no free health care and pop them in a prison cell accommodation (and not allowed out) and the crossings will completely dry up.
