Ypeople can best explain how the housing costs were met, but it is a big assumption to say that it fell to "the taxpayer". In any event some of us who pay tax would want to see people who are destitute have their basic needs met as a matter of priority.Rev.

They have overstayed their welcome, time for them to leave.<br /><br />These 140 failed asylum seekers have had their cases to remain in Britain legally listened to and a legal decision made that they have no legal or moral right to remain in Britain - the failed asylum seekers refuse to leave - they are placing themselves and their families in a destitute position.<br /><br />Ypeople should not have allowed the failed seekers to remain in the seekers’ loaned accommodation. Question - whom was paying to finance the failed seekers rent, council tax, utility bills etc whilst the failed seekers refused to vacate our social housing?<br /><br />Our Home Office will gladly return the failed asylum seekers to their countries. Our City Council, Home Office, UKBA and all involved should assist in deporting the refused asylum seekers.Raibertnoreply@blogger.com
