Even if Labour claims otherwise it’s crystal clear that government is sending asylum seekers to small towns and cities against the wishes of local people, and a couple of stories reported in the last few days back this claim.
The first item is about plans to house dozens of asylum seekers in 21 empty properties in a rural Shropshire village, which have triggered a furious reaction as locals are warning the community lacks the facilities to cope. The proposal would see up to 83 asylum seekers moved into vacant homes in Stoke Heath, near Market Drayton although some residents fear the eventual number could be higher.
The Home Office has confirmed it is considering the use of properties in the village as part of wider efforts to accommodate asylum seekers outside hotels.
A spokesperson said: “We are working to fairly disperse asylum seekers across the country, consulting closely with local authorities to further reduce our reliance on hotels and deliver better value for money for taxpayers, while giving control back to communities.
“The Home Office is developing a long-term, sustainable strategy for asylum accommodation, including exploring alternative options such as disused properties and ex-military sites to reduce community impact.”
However, the announcement has prompted a backlash from some villagers, who say they have not been properly consulted and fear local services will come under pressure.
The second story is about a decision by Arun District Council to buy 18 properties in order to resettle Afghan refugees.
The homes would be allocated for use as temporary accommodation, with eight designated for refugees who are currently occupying bridging hotels. Four of the eight properties would be larger, four-bedroom homes.
Those stories are quite common as such resettlements are happening across the UK, against the will of local people. Labour politicians give asylum seeker preferential treatment over native Britons facing hardship.
We can halt this by mobilising patriotic voters to clear out these politicians at every level of government, from parish councils all the way up to Westminster, and replace them with nationalists such as the British Democrats.
