      Once the migrant ‘problem’ is ‘dealt with’, they’ll come for the homeless, the mentally ill, substance addicts, then they’ll move on to ‘sexual deviants’, and so on. It’s a pattern that has already played out elsewhere.

      People seem to be all in favour of using hotels to house homeless people, right up until the moment the council uses a hotel near **them**.

      The sad truth is whilst there are homeless people who just need a helping hand and they’ll get their lives sorted, there are others who have drink, drug and mental health problems who really need the sort of specialist help this place can’t offer them.

      Also I imagine if there were no asylum seeker hotels for people to gather around and shout at they’d be shouting at places like this. The irony is of course I imagine a good few of them at the moment are shouting about housing our homeless in hotels.

      I don’t get the problem. It’s not as if the homeless weren’t already around, why are they suddenly so much more dangerous when they’re all staying in the same place? I mean, hostels have been doing that for years.

      Wasn’t the argument that we should be using the hotels to house the homeless before asylum seekers?

      It’s one guy complaining on behalf of his daughter and the only actual issues he brings up are a supposed increase in shoplifting and a single threat of nicking a car.

      Since when was a single person complaining enough to get a national headline? If one person can doom 98 to a winter on the streets why are we even bothering to pretend we’re a nation of people.
