Setting a precedent?

The government has now finally got the message that housing many male asylum seekers in hotels in town centres is a very bad idea.

Now just how good do you feel having posted that Laboutine? And I thought trolling* was off limits on GN. You live and learn.

* Trolling is when someone posts or comments online to deliberately upset others.

Best let it rest?

Glass houses and all that.

And pots and kettles 😄

So were they finding homes for the women if they were "moving them out"?

My haven't spoken to my friends for a few weeks.

Wasn't that the hotel that had no problems with asylum seekers over the past year or two (maybe longer) - I thought they were families?

I have friends in Diss who were helping families integrate.

Yes it was. Locals didn’t have a problem with Mums and children but they were moving them out and replacing them with young, single men.

My old school friend lives right on the side of Diss Mere. Lovely location.

The Park Hotel at Diss which was very much in the news recently is being renovated as the migrants have been moved out but we do not know where yet.

It is to reopen after renovation to the public but there are hundreds of comments on the local FB page saying locals will be boycotting it as nobody cared about what they thought nor did the hotel care when they cancelled all bookings at the last minute.

Apparently it is being renovated at the tax payers expense.

Good idea. All posts are deliberately made. Not sure all posters recognise that their own posts may be seen as deliberately upsetting for others.

People who arrived in irregular ways?

People with irregular ways?😁
Irregular people with ways?
Ways who arrived in irregular people? This is getting confusing

I do wonder why some like to spend do much time attacking me personally. I wonder if I should take it as a compliment? At least you seem to think the posts are worth a reply.

46,000 illegal immigrants have arrived in boats since Labour got in. On top of that are all those sneaking in by lorries, car boots, speedboats, camper vans etc.

That is hordes in anybody’s book.

Agree. Then, if granted asylum, the families will follow.

And their families can be huge. Up to 22 family members in one case!

I didn't read Politics Nerd as nit-picking. (just saying)

The trouble with words without inflection or body language to accompany them is that we do have less clues as to meaning and not many of us read and revise what we are saying when chatting online (like this).

I don't think anyone was a bad parent from a few words written here.

For what it's worth, I can honestly say I've never used the word "naughty" at all, let alone with children, as it's a word I hate for it's rather frothy lack of specificity!

No, it wasn't just nit-picking.

I presume PoliticsNerd completely misunderstood what Mollygo said and a qualified apology seemed insincere.

The point is that referring to a child as a naughty child is similar to referring to a person as an illegal. Both are wrong in that they refer to the person, not the action.

I do hope you're not a parent or at least that your children have grown up and survived your parenting.
This to me, sounded very personal. If someone were to criticise my parenting skills, I would be very upset.

It was meant to be personal and it is typical NP.

And there you have it, about NP threads, folks!

No PN, you just look for opportunities to nitpick, and in this instance to demonstrate your usual nastiness, but We Do Not Care either for the nastiness or the apology.

I that case I'm happy to apologise. The last line of Mollygo's post made it somewhat moot.

You obviously misunderstood what Mollygo said, PoliticsNerd, which was in fact the same as you.

What makes you assume that Mollygo was constantly telling her child they were naughty?
What a strange thing to assume!

That's quite right, Mollygo, telling a child that what they did was naughty, rather than making the child feel that they themselves were naughty.

I'm sure all the children who have passed through your supervision over the years realised that!
