Daily Mail headlines, Burnham saying more equal distribution of migrants is needed.

Anna Turley interviewed today says areas like Blackpool have taken their fair share.

‘It’s about their fair share, and we have to look across the country at what is appropriate for areas to take, what is the infrastructure, what is manageable with the local community. So this is about fairness’ she reportedly said.

Migrant families are now well distributed over most of Plymouth suburbs, home ownership rates here just under the national average and a large social housing waiting list. I guess we’ve had our fair share.

House prices are averaging £300k and rents have increased across the country so what areas should take more ?

How about stopping the boats?

We have plenty illegal immigrants in the area, milling about shops and scaring the local residents..

I think it's a cop out having this as some kind of solution . Ridiculous in fact

Burnham specifically talks about asylum seekers. This would mean having more asylum hotels or other asylum seekers accommodation in middle class areas.

I totally support this, just to see the resulting chaos in politics

Would the people who paid more money just to live in a "nice area" be happy to have asylum hotels next to them? At least the middle class progressives who go around with "Refugees welcome" placards should be.

Right.

Well there's a town not too far from us that has a derelict building that was put forward as a possible location for refugees/ asylum seekers. The outrage was something to behold.

They’re always going to go to the poorer areas where housing is cheaper.

We shouldn’t be housing them at all though

What about sacrificing one of the uninhabited islands of the Hebrides, give them some food, water and building supplies and let them create their own civilisation

I bloody well hope not! The local Waitrose is far too crowded as it is

Should they not just be placed in labour run constituencies? Everyone’s happy then aren’t they

Very few elected MPs win by an overall majority. ( neither does the government) So in nearly every area the majority voted against the party that controls it. You've got to love British democracy

If we said, on average there are a total of about 9,000 villages across England / Scotland and Wales, and we took 200,000 asylum seekers between 2020 and 2026, that's 200,000/9,000 = 22.2 people per village.

There are about 1,695 towns in E/S/W.

200,000/10695 = 18.7 people per settlement.

.

The numbers seem quite small in that context, if everyone pitches in and takes an equal quota.

How about they use all these available properties for people on housing waiting lists ?

Because then right wingers would complain about people on benefits being given housing, and having massive tellies etc.
