Having read about this a bit more ...
It's all Labour's fault
They've been doing what the incompetent torys ignored all the time they were in office. That is having a system in place to deal with asylum cases in anything resembling a competent way. Not dealing with legitimate asylum cases created a massive backlog. It was a time bomb that the Labour government would have to deal with. And they, the incompetent thieving torys and other right wing nut jobs, could blast Labour for.
Labour has put in a system where asylum claims are being dealt with. Because of the huge backlog, created by the bastard torys, there are now overwhelming numbers of legitimate asylum claimants looking for somewhere to live.
This should have drip fed into the system over the last 15 years+.
It's not Labour's fault. It's not the SNPs fault.
It's the feckin torys, including the incompetent torys who scurried off to reform and restore, who were so busy thieving from the public purse they had no time for other government business.
The only money to be made from asylum seekers was to hive out looking after them to private companies like GS4 who welcomed the opportunity to pack them in squalid accommodation while making multi million pound profits and donating large sums back to their mates in the tory party.
The tory press are taking you for mugs.
Again!
