Where will all the refugees live?

Same answers all round again, nobody knows and nobody cares, other than taking some moral high stance or saying yes we should let them in, not one ounce of thought on where they will all live.
Same old again.
This is why I call for a put your money where your mouth is list.
Those who want them here, take them in to their own homes, on sofas if need be, no excuses, no backing out, you want them you house them.
Those people vocally shouting for more are quite happy to see someone on a waiting list not have a house at all.

They should be forced to take them in, a straight yes or no referendum, you vote yes, you have to put them up.

They can be housed exactly in the same way as the 630,000 new arrivals each year plus the 800,000 odd people that leave the parental home for the first time.


It would be better if we built more houses but that has little to do with a few thousand additional refugees.


I believe there is no plan of which food shops they will get for provisions from either.

So the usual answer, "somewhere else" in someone else's house but not yours
Great plan.

No it's as I described it.

Tell me where do the 630,000 people that arrived this year live?

The MOD owns property all over the country and more than half of it is sitting empty, stick them in there.

Somehow I believe they'll be less of a drain on our society than you.

How awful that OP puts an iPhone before food for his kids.

This is neglect and he should be reported to social services.

I wonder if we can identify him across all of his different usernames?

This is not an awkward question, it is a complicated question with no easy answer. Sadly, a world without dictators, corrupt governments or terrorist groups will probably never exist so there will always be desperate people needing help from those of us lucky enough to be born into a better life.

Oi, leave Scotland out of this

They can have a house in Liverpool if they have a spare quid

If they spend some of their money on kitchen, bathroom, decorating, etc, they could easily see their investment increase twentyfold!

That is one that I had thought of but they would be "camps" so the hand wringing brigade would object. With the amount of RAF bases that have closed in recent years there must be loads of accommodation, mess halls with large kitchens and recreation facilities that could be brought back into use fairly quickly.

I know of over 100 2, 3 and 4 bedroom houses belonging to the MOD that are sitting empty right now and have been for nearly 5 years some of them.

Just been listening to the BBC news. Didn't catch the ministers name, but apparently we have the school places, we have the homes and we have the resources. Finances are not an issue. £13,000 for each and every child per year has already been allocated for education purposes.

Apparently local authorities have identified these resources already and homes and school places are all readily available for, as yet, an unknown number of refugees (though most news sources seem to be going with 15,000).

The minister made it quite clear that these people who are bought here will likely be here for the rest of their lives. (So british citizenship as oon as they get here I guess?) He was suggesting that while people may be offering their homes, they have to bear in mind that this will be a long term plan, for possibly years.

I suppose this is one reason camps wouldn't work here. There are no plans for them the refugees to be returned and that point was made very clear.

It's rather bizzare that local authorities have suddenly pulled thousands of readily available homes out of nowhere.
