Hi,
A few years ago, last time I lived in Wales, a couple would put on group parties at the Campanile in north east Cardiff. They were really great fun.
Anyone know if the couple are still around, or if they're still on? It was a great venue for meets. |

"That's a blast from the past, me & the ex hubby had a few group meets out there. I often wonder if those chalets are still there X"
Oh, was it you and the ex who I met, Peachy? Lady who entertained while wearing a blindfold? |

"Pretty sure the hotel is being used to house migrants currently. A scandal if you ask me
Why is it a scandal?
The cost involved is outrageous "
What are your proposed alternatives? Not having a pop here, I'm just interested. |

Investing in a workforce to actually process asylum claims would be a better use of money to be honest. We’ve got the biggest backlog in Europe, last year we had 132,182 applications awaiting a decision, compared to 5.978 in 2010. It’s risen every year since having fallen from 51.795 in 1997 when Labour came to power to that 5.978 the year the Tories came in to power.
A more radical option would be to follow the lead of other countries (Australia, Sweden, Canada, Portugal, Germany, USA for example) and actually allow asylum seekers to work while they are awaiting a decision. Let them earn money, incur taxes and fend for themselves, instead of having to rely on expensive handouts. Let them contribute to the society they wish to join instead of preventing them from doing so.
Anyway, this isn’t really the place for such a discussion, but there really is a lot we could be doing differently if we choose to instead of paying billions for a barge or hotels, lining the pockets of ‘Government friends’.
Rant over…. |

I'd agree with the majority of this. Another alternative would be investing in processing centres in North East France, as suggested by the French. |
