It’ not ‘banning asylum seekers’ as if they’re doing something wrong. It’s just requiring that public transport be used instead for medical appointments to cut the wasteful contracts on taxis that were used for convinience especially for appointments that aren’t near where they staying.
Because they get registered to a GP , were moved and are miles away meaning generally public transport isn’t feasible.
It’s honestly laughable to report the shadow ministers opinion on the topic. It was literally their party that let it get this bad.
Where i live, public transport doesn’t meaningfully exist. The hospital is two hours each way by bus, and requires changing buses. By car it would be 30 minutes.
I’m all for cutting waste. But if you’re going to require a commercial service be used, first check that service meaningfully exists.
This is really a cipher for how shite public procurement in the UK is. It loses £50bn a year to fraud alone let alone this kind of cobblers caused frankly by laziness.
That’s why many of us disagree so vociferously with tax rises and bands being frozen: the state can easily afford to lift the two child benefit cap or do whatever it wants without new taxes if it respected the money we already give it more.
Get secure holding facilities built asap.
Undocumented and unauthorized arrivals should be detained.
They definitely shouldn’t be free to travel wherever they want.
BBC: See racists, Labour is also humiliating asylum seekers. You don’t need to vote Reform.
From the BBC Article:
“On Friday, one driver told the BBC his firm would do up to 15 drop-offs daily from a hotel in south east London to a doctors surgery around two miles away. These journeys alone would cost the Home Office £1,000 a day, he said.”
**This is so stupid.** You’d hope when the very first claim comes in, someone would immediately think what stupid f*ckery is this? And tell their manager.
But, there seems to be a shortage of both common sense and curiosity.
It would make much more sense, for example, to agree with the closest medical centre for a GP to spend a morning/day at the asylum accommodation completing all the health checks.
Local people may grumble. But if the alternative is thousands of pounds in taxi bills & unvetted male asylum seekers in their GP’s waiting room, they’ll accept it as the least worse option
“Ban” here meaning “not paying for their taxis”.
Turns out the government has banned me from using taxis and even the bus 🙁
