“Some of the people had contracted scabies and only had the infected garments they were standing in, according to evidence the charity has submitted to the House of Commons” AFAIK, the Red Cross is a charity. Bit unfortunate a charity has got to pick this up.
Just add it to the UK tax payer bill. We are only spending billions and billions a year on the dysfunctional asylum system.
If need be we can further reduce benefits for British Citizens.
The UK is essentially the retirement home of boomers and the free money machine to the 3rd world at this point.
A lot of, if not most of those coming across on boats are *not* destitute, and not even actual refugees. They’ve paid smugglers thousands, all have smartphones, etc. We should do what the Danish government did, and start confiscating jewellery, cash, etc.
Great so they’re bringing in diseases **and** costing us £5.4 billion a year. Money we’re taking away from disabled people to pay for these economic interlopers. Leave the ECHR and send them packing!

Flip me the money being spent on these people is ridiculous
They paid thousands of Euros to get to the UK, they should buy their own clothes, if they don’t have any then UNHCR can provide them!
The people who pay thousands to gangsters? Oh the poor innocent things! ❤️
I’m actually seriously considering making sure the 40% tax I spend goes to another country. So tired of this bs in the UK.
Christ, how do people miss the obvious take here:
“our system is so broken that charities are needing to step in to prop it up. We probably need to sort it out”
And instead get:
“Refugees get a free ride, yet again and of course they are to blame for everything”
The handling of the refugee crisis is a disaster so I reckon the Red Cross is right here.
It’s just an absolute joke at this point. The country will be fucked in a few decades if we keep letting everyone in.
We need a politician with balls to come in and put a stop to this once and for all. At any cost.
while gravy train farage was using dinghy immigration to misdirect the gullible
blue club were flooding uk with record NON EU immigration
you could not make this up
Tax wealth and corporations correctly. Problem solved.
Someone must be making an absolute killing from the migrant crisis – labour & Tory donors…?
Oh nice disabled people get a break from being the target today! Back to immigrants!
Can’t wait to have my taxes raised so you can feed the leeches and parasites in this country while you do nothing to stop it…
People getting worked up over where a charity spends its money 🥲
The UK is basically an open air prison island now.
Like the movie Escape from New York. Except you can enter but not escape.
Red Cross didn’t have to do this. They chose to do so.
Yeah right, they’re all wearing branded clothing and have iPhones
