Where Will The Afghanistan Refugees Live In The Uk?

[dave50]

Everyone knows there is a shortage of social housing so how will they be housed unless they are pushed to the front of the queue in front of those that may have been on the waiting list for years?

[Jackdaw33]

Next door, knowing my luck.

Can they not stay in the Mosques? Large, heated places with halal food and clean carpets as they have to take their shoes off.

They may cancel out some of those from the EU who left after Brexit.. Nicola Sturgeon is keen on accommodating asylum seekers etc so we may find Scotland take more than there fare share

Afghans may find Sturgeons Scotland too rigidly controlled for their liking.

Looking at some of the answers given I am always surprised how nasty some people can be

[davebro]

I've got a spare room - I could house 10 at £50 per week each!

[douglas9401]

The Prime Minister is reported to have mooted Sandringham as digs for the first arrivals.

Anything to get that alpaca out of the headlines.

Most of them have asked to be rehoused in Devon & Cornwall, and also parts of Wales. Can't think why.

[fraser]

Knowing drakeford in Wales!! Better off in a another Islamic country like Saudi arabia but that won't happen.

[cashier]

Three areas that voted to leave the EU. Anyway I don't think they get to pick and choose.

Looking at the answers given on AryanBank, I am never surprised how nasty people can be

There would be room if we could chuck out all those illegal immigrants over the last couple of years. Pathetic. We still cannot house our own homeless. Politicians shown up to be ineffective and totally useless when it comes to the real world. We vote in an election tomorrow - we won't be supporting the government candidate.

[gulliver1]

Most of them have chosen not to want to live in a City, but more so out in the Countryside or a small Hamlet, or even a nice little cul- de- sac.

[Peter Pedant]

yes gully - - - somewhere near - - - YOU!

[archibaldy]

Surely now we are not spending money on defence out there to prevent a refugee situation can now be repurposed to looking after the refugees that will now be coming here, the initial 20,000 and of course all the others that are going to arrive by dinghy and lorry over the coming years.

[gulliver1]

22.06 It will not worry you P/P , I think you are out of it anyway.

[Peter Pedant]

bit of a false argument there archo

There was ( thirty y ago ) a defence dividend ( when Russia was er PrePutin)
BUT the fact that the tommies have stopped being killed in Afghan coz they are not there see? - does not mean we pay any of them less or save moolah in an way. They are still there - in Barracks etc

It is a bit like closing a hospital - IF it is cheap to run ( usually not I agree) then you dont save much, and selling it will only generate a one-off

I can tell you it is hard being a bean counter

[Peter Pedant]

I am ready goolie
apka kia haal heh?

[Gromit]

Kabulton.
