Overcrowded conditions? That’s a laugh 😂 there’s nobody on it.
Some foreign workers from countries the migrants come from could be a good idea as they know the language.
I doubt the barge will ever be fully used.

Time Braverman was moved from post, but she is a political appointment for the right wing. Shame Sunak doesn't stand up to them.

A scheme to waive visas in order that the HO could employ “foreign workers” on the notorious barge if in the event of an outbreak of an infectious disease, has been considered.

It is expected that because of the overcrowded conditions there is almost certainly to be an infectious outbreak such as scabies, diphtheria, covid and other horrors.

It is understood that the local authority would be totally unable to handle the inevitable outbreak.

However, the HO has decided to at present not go ahead with the scheme.

In my view it is our mess and we should deal with it, not drag in immigrant workers, to be infected and no doubt then sent home.
