As understand it they were moved from one temporary accommodation to another temporary accommodation and that is the basis for the legal challenge. If you go in the gvt website it does say that you will unlikely be given housing in london or the south east. It was always therefore likely that...
So you really honestly believe that’s why they are being moved - as a political football.They are being moved because there is not enough accommodation where they were, plus the idea has always been to distribute across the country.
I have no opinion really - people are trying to turn this into a race issue , I’ve never once mentioned country of origin. I don’t care about that I just think we are trying to help people and they are turning on the people helping them and demanding more.

They hardly had laid down roots in london they had barely been there.
Many councils invoke that policy because they simply can’t afford to house people in london and the benefits amount will not cover the rent required to live in london. What’s the answer given there is no magic money tree for...
They are not in a vulnerable position - they have received refuge - they have a roof over their heads and are receiving education.
Tonight I’ll go to my mates for dinner if his mum gives me a sandwich instead of steak I’ll tell her it’s not acceptable and demand steak! Let’s see how I get on!
