Trump said: “On immigration you better get your act together or you’re not going to have Europe anymore.”

Accommodation should be clean but basic since we’re all paying for it.

As for single adult females, we can all see the overwhelming majority are single adult males. Unless they intend to transition while holed up in 4* luxury!

Say the article is true[no idea, not read it, but assuming it is],

Some people on this forum, and in real life, really dont mind how much is spent.
There is no limit.

So long as it’s not their own money. If it was they’d be singing a different tune.

Would posters believe this story if it was in The Guardian not The Telegraph?

What about the Daily Mail (which named the hotel!)?

Oh, perhaps not 😁

Not even sure about that, personally.

Just because Trump said no immigrant entered the USA does not mean it is true .

Explain what is ignorant and off topic.

Nor how many come in.

Didn’t realise this story was in the Daily Mail too Allira.
Certainly not named the hotel in the Telegraph article.

Lower Beeding, West Sussex. The Cisswood House Hotel. For those who want to google, just in case the Daily Telegraph is lying. As if!

It could be a different W Sussex hotel, of course,

I live right on the edge West Sussex, my nephew works in housing for WSCC.

It has been published in the mainstream press but must not be mentioned on Gransnet!

Ocado and Amazon deliveries every day. Their kids ferried in minibuses and taxis to local schools while the local children have to go under their own steam. Read the articles yourselves and the views of local residents and businesses whose lives have been affected.

Still, so long as the migrants are happy that’s all that matters to certain posters.

How long is the waiting list for housing?

Sorry?

Oh wait, there’s another one. The Daily Express cites the Copthorne Hotel, also in West Sussex.

If what they are saying about the sea levels is correct many from Europe and the USA will be looking for new homes in the next 20-30 years. Already many Pacific Islands are arranging to move their islanders to Australia in a phased move over the next ten years or so as their islands slowly disappear.

I wonder if the day will come when we are begging an already greener Africa to let us migrate?

I agree.

No-one would want people seeking asylum to be housed in some of the dreadful, mouldy homes which many UK citizens have to endure.

Basic, clean, decent housing should be provided for both sectors.

Some posters were aghast that asylum seekers were to be housed in disused barracks. I have no idea why. For single men they are ideal. There are empty married quarters too, for those with children.

Perhaps we'll be migrating to Antartica.
It was green once.

Copthorne Hotel London Gatwick

Copthorne Hotel London Gatwick is not accepting any reservations requests for accommodation.

The Rev Sue Wharton, priest in charge of Holy Trinity Church in Lower Beeding, said that she had not heard any complaints of noise and litter being caused by the migrant families, many of whom had become committed members of the church congregation. “I have found them very helpful – that is the people I have come across.”

She said the families housed at the Cisswood House Hotel “don’t have it easy. It is mostly families there and, if you are a family, you are in one room.”

She added: “It is up to the Home Office to decide their fate. While they are with us we will be kind to them – that’s the feedback we get.”
