This article highlights the government’s troubling disregard for our soldiers by prioritising individuals who should not even be in the UK. This situation raises critical questions about how resources and support are allocated, as those who have bravely served our country are being overlooked.
It’s worth highlighting that war heroes are set to be displaced from their historic base due to the UK government’s controversial plans to house asylum seekers in Ministry of Defence barracks.
The Queen’s Own Highlanders Regimental Association, currently based at Cameron Barracks in Inverness, is set to be relocated as part of the Home Office’s initiative to transform the site into housing for 309 single male asylum seekers by the end of this month.
The regiment, which the late Prince Philip proudly served as Colonel-in-Chief, was established in 1961 following the merger of the Seaforth Highlanders and The Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders. It remained active within the British Army until 1994, when it was merged to form the Highlanders, incorporating the Seaforths, Gordons, and Camerons.
The Association provides financial assistance to regimental veterans and their families, while also coordinating social events and reunions. They operate from an office at Cameron Barracks, which is at risk of being lost due to the asylum plan. Sources suggest that the Ministry of Defence has notified the veterans’ organisation that they will be relocated for up to a year while a more permanent solution is sought.
The recent revelations have triggered a surge of public outrage, leading to accusations against the UK Labour government for not honouring the site’s historical significance and the sacrifices made by those who have served the country in wartime.
This situation is distressing but not unexpected, given the Labour Party’s position on immigration.
The British Democrats are committed to tackling this issue head-on with bold and transformative measures. We propose the complete abolition of all human rights legislation, a withdrawal from the 1951 UN Convention on Refugees, and an exit from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). These decisive actions are necessary to reclaim our sovereignty and redefine our approach to governance and individual rights.
