Could UK WW2 camps be the blueprint for modern "refugees"

Agreed. Whatever their status, those who enter the country illegally should be treated humanely and with dignity, but not to the extent of putting them up in hotels and letting them roam free. Temporary accommodation good enough for our own service personnel should be good enough for them.

WW2 style camps would not be acceptable to the illegals or their supporters - the ones that are housed in the ex-RAf base in Wethersfield Essex are already kicking off because its not up to 4 star Hotel standard.

There is a difference between punishing and rewarding. If a camp is 'punishment' then perhaps we should never use camps for any of our own people or indeed gymnasium floors when floods or fires strike. A safe route from France will see an escalation in those leaving North Africa and the Middle East to try their luck and the gangs will take their boats, their knowledge and their lack of care to the Med. 

As has been mentioned tbe conditions would cause howls of outrage.

I think it was 2006 when i was freelancing in Guildford

B&B accommodation was pretty scarce on the ground and DEFRA farm payment f@cukups meand many places were fully booked by Business advisors and similar twats employed by tbe likes of Accenture charging kings ransoms for their pointless, useless contributions which exacerbated the problem.

I was staying at a B&B run by this widowed lady who had been in the trade for decades. Her customer base in the old days were mainly salesmen and field service people, but as time went on more like me arrived on the scene. What we all had in common was a budget limited either by what our employer would pay or what we were prepared to see vanish into the overheads. But the faciluties were decent, warm and the food was good.

Into this picture strolled a twat from the Home Office, ringing up all the places like this asking if the landlord / owner was interested in making twice as much as they were now by chucking their current clients on the street and taking in asylum seekers. But the voice on the phone cautioned ‘they would have to have a very high standard of accommodation and meals as the home office demanded it’.

I was quite stunned at the vocabulary this answerphone message generated in a mild mannered impeccably turned out lady pushing her mid sixties in the heart of the stockbroker belt. Clearly she’d had some contractors late of Aldershot. Or maybe Portsmouth.

Clearly fumimg, she asked if i would have any idea how to find if this was the truth or a hoax.

I checked the number and went to the office. It was true all right.

Well, of course. It's pretty obvious that very few are genuinely in need of asylum and that the majority are economic migrants and freeloaders.

From the article: "The holiday camp company, rated the UK’s worst in 2022, has closed sites in Prestatyn, north Wales, and Camber Sands in East Sussex." You think migrants will put up with that? Nothing but 5 star is good enough for them. Human rights don't you know.

I watched on the news an immigrant whinging that there were constant fights between different ethnic groups in his migrant camp .
He said something should be done about it because he didn’t feel safe .
The irony was lost on him.
