How wonderful you work hard and buy a nice house in a nice area and Andy Burnham PM wants to put foreign men we know nothing about who come from third world countries in the house next door to you and your family and the final straw is they don't have to pay a penny it's all free for them, no wonder they are rushing to board the Mega Boats bringing in 230 men a time here. Ain't life grand well it is for them, utopia.

You work hard and buy a nice house in a working class poorer area etc etc etc

Where is this leafy village in a wealthy area that has room for 1250 new people and residents organising a revolt?

I'd like to see the source before I can even start to wonder about what I think. I'm not sure I'd see it as 'wonderful', but I'm not sure that people in poor areas should have so many people in their areas either. Hostels aren't the best idea, IMO - better that people are housed in smaller groups over a wide range of areas.

Well looking online the words wealthy, more affluent and middle class seem to be being used interchangeably. Exactly the level of accuracy and detail we have come to expect in the thoughtful considered discussions that are held about migrants.

The better off revolt while others pay the tab? I'm assuming it must be an old Baracks or something. without more information how can we comment?

Good for AB.

Never mind all those gross assumptions πŸ™„

Locally we have sort of large group homes in old large houses. It does seem better that way. It cant be in the very poshest areas of a city as in cost of renting an old house but there is one not to far away.

It’s a mothballed MOD barracks, Paddington residents have voted to secede themselves from the UK in protest.
