Labour moving migrants into NON-LABOUR areas in plan to house asylum seekers in military bases

Illegal immigrants are about to be scattered across the British countryside. Yesterday the government announced that they are seeking planning permission to turn former military bases in Bicester in Oxfordshire, Barnham in Suffolk and in North Yorkshire as well in Linton-on-Ouse into asylum seeker accommodation. They're also going to put more illegals in RAF Wethersfield in Essex and at the Crobra military barracks. Now some context for you here, Linton-on-Ouse has a population of around 800 people and in 2022 the Tories tried to put 1500 illegal immigrants there. The plan was halted but it looks like Labour's going to resurrect it. Barnham in Suffolk, just 600 people currently living there apparently. Barnham is described online as a highly desirable peaceful place to live. It is a picturesque conservation village. Well not anymore is it, I'm afraid. No, it's about to become an enclave of Sudan, Eritrea and Afghanistan. But the government is also expanding the detention and processing centre in Manston. Now this is quite an important point, it's gone under the radar actually. We have this processing centre in Manston which is for when people have kind of immediately arrived off the boat. Now they're actually expanding that at a cost of 900 million pounds which is cheap because it was originally going to be 2.3 billion. That's what they wanted to charge us for it. Anyway that's due to be completed in March 2029. So does any of this sound like they think that the small boat crossings are going to go away anytime soon to you? I don't think so because if it did why would you be expanding different sites etc. But let's have a little look shall we at where Labour closed some migrant hotels during the local election campaign. So if you cast your mind back local elections not so long ago they did close some migrant hotels. You've got a place in Blackpool, one in Wolverhampton, one in Telford, one in St Helens, Crewe, Aberdeen, Halifax etc etc etc. The list goes on. Now the majority of them, the overwhelming majority of them, were in Labour areas or areas that Labour thought that they were within a chance of sneaking a win. And they've now announced that they're going to close 20 more and the areas where they're moving them to in these Labour is predicted to have a 0% chance of winning in Linton-on-Ooze or Bicester at the next election and just a 10% chance in the Suffolk constituency. So can you kind of see what's going on a little bit here? Now do you remember when reform got in trouble for saying, I think have we got a clip on this? Yeah we do, there it is. A reformed government will not put any migrant detention centres in any constituency with a reform MP. Of the remaining areas we will prioritise green parliamentary constituencies and green controlled councils to put those migrant detention centres. So they were criticised for that, that was unfair, but if you actually look at what Labour's doing here it's largely the same thing really. The asylum seeker backlog is the highest it's ever been, 123,000. Yesterday the Telegraph revealed data from December 2024 which revealed that about 50,000 illegal migrants and foreign criminals have just gone missing. The number of appeals to failed asylum applications rose by 70% in the last year. So look, when this goes horribly wrong, and I hate to say it but I really do think this will go horribly wrong in some of the areas where those military bases are in these little English towns, how does the government expect people to react?

Look at the views of our panel and we'll go to the audience as well. Look Adam your take on on what we're seeing here about them rolling out these these these new military old military barracks. Look no one wants these men and they are predominantly men in their areas. I'm a vocal against the bell hotel thankfully that's been closed but they're going to be someone else's problem now and unfortunately they're being moved to these barracks which I wouldn't have a problem and I think a lot of the residents wouldn't have a problem if they couldn't leave the barracks and that they were secure. But we are allowing men from cultures far different from our own. We've seen rapes murders and terrible terrible sex crimes against women and young girls and they are plonking these men in villages where they outnumber the residents there. No one voted for this not one person thinks this is okay and even the lefties that I know they don't want it in their area. These men should be deported um we have to stop this and and look a barracks is obviously better than an HMO. They're the dangerous ones where they're plonking these men amongst streets of families women and children but a barracks is no no use putting them all together if they can leave. The local high roads will see shoplifting. This is what we were seeing in Epping. Shoplifting, intimidation, harassment of women, defecating on the streets and on the fields. This is what we are importing. Men that do not know right from wrong that you know will use our streets as the toilet if they have to and that treat women as third class citizens. Enough is enough and I don't know what we need to do because we protest we're labeled far right. We moan or you know we campaign we are labeled racist for wanting safe communities and I don't know how we get out of this because for me having a human rights law as the Prime Minister and now a different man taking over that seems to embrace immigration. God help us and I'm not even religious. What do you make of these plans to use these uh military barracks? Well you see Adam said something that I agree with there. He said we wanted them to close the hotels and they've got to go somewhere. So you know the it's always the case that when uh when politicians say something negative people say well what's your solution right? So the government said okay well we'll close the hotels we'll try and do our best to close the hotels and the solution is not a perfect one. You can't you can't just take all these people and stick them in a boat somewhere. You can't just take them back to what was it you said Eritrea, Afghanistan and so on. So what are you going to do before you've managed to process them through the courts? Okay and because people said we don't want them in hotels they said okay let's let's look at the barracks as a solution and and then people say well I don't want them in my barracks. Now the the idea that this was gerrymandering as as you were saying I mean clearly what you said was gerrymandering because he was actually using it as a threat in the election on you know if you don't vote reform we'll we'll we'll put these in your place. This is not gerrymandering because this is where the disused barracks are. It's not it's not that somebody's saying let's create a barracks somewhere and then put them in. This is where these disused barracks are. They could fence them in though couldn't they? I mean the military site is probably the easiest place to do that because it's all surrounded by barbed wire. And you know Patrick that I've said before that I think there's a case for looking at that okay there are difficulties with doing that because actually what you're doing in effect is you're saying that people should be imprisoned before they've been tried because if you're well indeed and that is why I've said to you before that I think there's a case for doing that but it's a difficult case because these are people who are awaiting a court judgment. Okay all right before we go to the minority panellists the chap on the front row I think you've got a point on this have you? Use the microphone mate so there you go. It's been missed on here as well as the sort of proverbial middle finger to servicemen as well who are seeing that they're not being looked after very well but where they've trained all of a sudden Symsic has been given pretty much everything. So that that would be a really important point if it weren't for the fact that this government has addressed all the services they've put through a veterans charter they've actually put something like 500 million into servicemen's housing to improving the housing for servicemen so they don't have to so they don't have to be in awful barracks so actually this government has done so much in order to improve the livelihoods of servicemen and actually if you look at what the government's done on that they really have delivered. Just to say just to slightly counter that obviously because they I mean one of the reasons that Al Khan's quit as Armed Forces Minister is because he's dead against the idea that some servicemen are going to be prosecuted essentially and we have covered a story about a centre for veterans in Bolton that has just been shut down and stuff so look I suppose it depends. But you wouldn't deny that actually the government has acted where after 14 years there was that servicemen's housing was in a terrible state and they've put through the veterans charter so that actually they and their families are being much better looked after than they ever were. They might be but I think realistically there shouldn't be a single homeless military veteran whilst we've got the capacity for these people in those areas. Perhaps but you know I don't mean to be flippant but you know they're solving the problem by prosecuting them and sending them to prison they're not homeless I think that I'm in favour actually of barracks being used the principle of barracks being used because I think actually you are right after you're both right in as much as the hotels in communities are not the way forward but where I mean there's a particular I know that there was a particular case that you were talking about and by the way brilliant journalism joining the dots as to where those places are and them being Labour places I think the difference is that that reform were just being honest about putting them in green places, Labour have just sort of not been quite so honest about where they they plan on putting them but I think that that I'm in favour of the principle the problem is that they you have to have the infrastructure in a place where you put people so you can't put them in a barracks where there is only a population of a few hundred people because that doesn't make any sense and also it needs to have the support it needs to have doctors needs to have dentists needs to have all those sorts of things and I know that a lot of the places where they're talking about putting these people they don't have them. Secondly I absolutely agree when people come to this country you don't know who they are until you know who they are and you know their background and you know that they are legitimate to be able to stay here well then I think that there is an argument to say that you can't have them being able to roam around now I'm not saying that they should be imprisoned I'm not saying that they shouldn't have access to you know medical care health care but just I think that not in the community and if they ever are it needs to be in some supervised sort of way. I mean they get they get treated pretty amazingly for people who have broken into a country via an illegal route the fact that we give them anywhere to stay in the first place is pretty kind of us I think to say you're not allowed out until your asylum claim is processed I think is I think is okay the fact that we give them a chance to even apply for asylum in the first place is pretty generous there are plenty of other countries where you would be you know immediately imprisoned perhaps beaten and tortured if you broke into the country and it's it's not a prison right these places they've got loads of out outdoor space around them typically and I mean as I pointed out to Barry I mean a military site is probably the easiest site to fence people in because it's always surrounded by you know walls and barbed wire as a military site typically would be so it's not exactly difficult and I mean it's a pretty easy thing for the government to do that would be a huge win for them that would stop all these huge protests and outcry worry about the safety of girls on the streets I thought it was pretty sad hearing today one of the girls speaking to one of our reporters saying that you know I'm a teenager I'm allowed now to walk to school by myself and go out with my friends but now that freedom is taken away from me because I can't actually walk to school safely by myself that would be a pretty miserable life for a teenager growing up not to be allowed out the house because the home office without consulting anyone has just dumped a load of men without saying we're going to close the doors until your asylum claim is processed I just pose a question then what like would would we be happy if we said right okay then um the government we're happy for the government to spend x million 50 million to to make sure all the barracks have got you know they've got gyms they've got I don't know a screening room you've got stuff for them to do within these barracks now that's gonna that's gonna probably annoy us that they're spending all the money doing that but in return for that they don't leave the barracks would that would around these around these uh villages and towns there will be teenage girls and let me just tell you now out of all those 1500 migrants that get put on one of those sites those girls will be targeted because we are importing these men from cultures where that is the norm okay and there's no skirting around it and for me if you if you generally believe that these are asylum seekers genuine or you believe they're refugees you need your head tested or you're probably a labor or green voter because you have to be very naive to believe that these men fighting age men are generally fleeing uh war or persecution they are coming here because we are a magnet for a free house free health care and free everything else they even tell us in interviews they tell us yet the left deny it just just i'll bury on this i mean another thing that kind of goes under the radar a bit here is is actually what it does to things like property prices in local areas as well we've seen it in datcha in windsor we've also seen it around maidenhead we've seen it in loads of places now seeing it in crowborough at the moment that there are knock-on effects the community beyond the you know the safety aspect which is very important the kind of fairness aspects of it you know whether these people are allowed to roam out it does have a huge knock-on effect because the area look uh the first thing i want to do is is to say it doesn't help to create a culture of fear and of course adam when you talk about the safety of young girls there have been some appalling cases i've been in two courtrooms and listen to those girls there's been a number of appalling cases where that's happened but if you take them as a percentage of the the people who are in uh detention or in hotels okay it's actually a very small percent but numbers that make it to court for something really serious might be small but actually i mean i'm sure adam can can say so in places like epping where you've had hotels if you actually talk to the locals they'll say oh there were huge groups of them sat on the street corners looking at our young girls bums while they were walking one of my staff members she drove a little convertible car she told me that one of these migrants from the bell hotel this was about a back of her car this is the sort of thing that people in epping had to deal with and it's not just that they used to sit there on benches drinking for alcohol that they'd stolen from the texas and they used to wolf whistle and shout vulgar things at young girls my two nieces go to the school behind the bell hotel and my my cousin did not let them go to school without him driving them that's the final word then we're really gonna have to move on see of course look um what i was trying to say is it appalling as those things are it is not the case that there is more than a very small percentage of cases that are brought to crime but what it does do and this is important is it creates a climate of fear but what i'm saying is let's not try and engender a climate of fear sorry sorry we will stick up for our women and our children and one case is enough is enough but but then you have to have a solution you can't just say we don't want it here and if everybody is saying not in my backyard not here not maybe my deportation yeah then well you see that's the issue you can't deport them until they've actually been trying all right okay right well there we go now border security and asylum minister alex norris has said we promised to close every asylum hotel and hand them back to communities and that's exactly what we are doing 20 more hotels have closed and hotel numbers have more than halved since their peak instead we're moving asylum seekers into ex-military sites that are a far cry from the hotels last government's left us with okay
