100 councils have said they'll take some in.
If South Somerset do I'll stop my council tax direct debit. We have enough trouble already with travellers.
Pretty sure the RNLI will be picking some up soon and bringing them here.

And it doesn't always work out well when they get here. An Afghan boy was catapulted out of a ninth floor hotel room, when his clothing was caught on a window latch in Sheffield. The eight other families will now be resettled into safer accommodations.palerider wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 7:43 amSame here mate.Ironworksfc wrote: ↑Thu Aug 19, 2021 9:30 pm

Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance work in conjunction with them too so that's gone as well.
That was very very sad. The son of a tanslator who helped us over there I believe.BlackDiamond wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 9:32 amAnd it doesn't always work out well when they get here.

Brexit would have made no difference either way.Whiskyman wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 2:56 pm I must have missed something somewhere along the way. I was given to understand that, post Brexit, we would "gain control over our borders" and the flow of immigrants from mainland Europe would slow to an imperceptible trickle.
Fast forward and we are still seeing boatloads of assorted flotsam shipping up at Dover and my understanding is we can no longer send them back to the mainland, to be taken back to the country where they first entered the EU because we are no longer in it. And now, instead of having in most cases reasonably educated immigrants from Eastern Europe, many of whom speak a decent level of English, it seems we are happy to allow entry into the country some 20,000 camel herders of very dubious economic benefit, whose educational levels, particularly the females among them, are presumably of a negligible level.
Very few vacancies for camel herders, mountain guides or rug makers in Jaywick and Barking I suspect.
I doubt the 20,000 number quoted will materialise, most Afghans don't have the right papers to bear exit. There may be thousands at Kabul airport flapping official looking papers but if it's not the right document, then fuck you.Whiskyman wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 2:56 pm I must have missed something somewhere along the way.
