Never let it ever be said that Great Britain does not look after it's Refugees
(Oh! O.K. it's economic migrants)! We have loads of instances similar to the below.
We are doing our bit to help with this crisis. So there! :playful::D

Asylum lunacy UK: £3,000 stretch limo rides for refugees make your blood boil?
That's not the half of it!


  • Farcical taxpayer-funded journey from London to Manchester cost £3,000
  • Is just the latest example of a system that treats money with contempt
  • Here, the Mail highlights ten of the most bewildering cases of all

Yesterday, the Mail reported how a stretch limo was hired to ferry seven asylum-seekers from a village near Heathrow to their new homes in Manchester.
The farcical journey - which cost £3,000 - is typical of a border system that treats taxpayers’ money with contempt and makes decisions that are an affront to commonsense. Here, we highlight ten of the most bewildering - and infuriating - cases.

True Warrigal, but the story was in most Newspapers, including the Daily Express...

Migrants transported in luxury STRETCH LIMO as English village overwhelmed by influx
A HISTORIC village has been swamped by asylum seekers in a graphic symbol of the country’s immigration crisis.Longford, near Heathrow, has been turned into a holding area for scores who are transported in daily where they are being housed under a Home Office contract.
In one case, a stretch limousine costing £3,000 was used to ferry migrants out of the area. Elderly residents in the village which dates back to the 14th century say they are being “overwhelmed” by large numbers of people housed in groups of up to 10.
Many of the arrivals claim to be from the “Jungle” camp in Calais. They are staying at the Heathrow Lodge hotel, owned by multi-millionaire Surinder Arora, while their claims for asylum are being assessed.

In one case? Really? Why did this happen? Did the bus break down? Did it even happen?

Colour me sceptical.

OK Ameriscot's link clarifies the claim. Serco ordered the limo and won't do it again. It was not at the taxpayers' expense. Pity the story didn't talk about the usual method of transporting asylum seekers. I would expect a bus or a mini bus. That's what I would charter if I was responsible for transport.

Asylum seekers and economic migrants are not the same. UKIP loves to mix the terms.

Thank you Ameriscot for clarifying exactly how the situation came about.
BUT.
Essentially the story WAS true, and a stretch Limo WAS used to take the economic migrants/refugees wherever they were going to stay while we organise housing, schooling, health care and benefits for them.
No worries that our ingenious population have difficulty obtain that lot as well, and will likely have to go to the back of the queue !!!

As for UKIP.

We need them to help get us OUT of the EU so we can take control of our borders.
End of.
So there!:playful::D

Stop mixing this terms. UKIP does this all the time. Refugees and economic migrants are not the same.

Stop quoting rags like the Mail and Express. It would leave one to believe this happens all the time. It happened once. They blow everything out of proportion.

Cameron is most definitely not a socialist! He wants to privatise everything. As for the poor, he screws them left and right.

Scotland should have voted for independence to get away from this dictator. Lots of No voters have regretted their vote.

I know that..... Just snickering at the original question.

Yes, even though its leader is married to a German. He wants to leave the EU so Europeans lose the right to emigrate to the UK. He wants NO immigration.

Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
My hero Nigel Farage is often Misquoted like that!

Nigel Farage responds.

Asked about his comments on LBC, he said: “What I said is this: that if a British employer in small business wants to employ a British person over somebody from Poland they should be able to do that without fear that they contravene discrimination laws. That’s all I have said." :grin:


PS I am listening to Jeremy Vine on Radio 2 now.
And soon he is going to be talking to and about the SNP.
YUCK!!!:grin:

I've heard Nigel speak many times. And he is a racist. And an idiot. Yuck.

I voted SNP last election. My hero is Nicola! Next time there is a referendum Scotland will divorce the rest of the UK. Bye!
