It's really not just a question of numbers or percentages though ATP
The majority of those who arrive on our shores are often very troubled people. Many will have multiple health issues, language problems, fear of authority. Many will have been persecuted, tortured even - they may well have mental health issues in addition to their physical condition which on arrival is likely to be poor.
Put all those factors into your equation and multiply the demands on local services by 10.

Good post DA and very true, theres far too many people taking from an ever reducing pot without any sign of a contribution, a lot of these people are unemployable for many years due to the issues you've pointed out. |  | |  |

Typical Daily Mail article.
It is "wrong" that a town should be sharing more of the burden than a whole region, the most populous region of the UK too.
But the backlash from this has been fantastic. 680 people out of a population of 95,000 is F All. Asylum seekers are live in the UK legitimately.
The problem is illegal immigration. You cannot be an illegal asylum seeker. |
Typical daily mail article I agree. Spot on.
Ever heard the phrase don't shoot the messanger?
The mail tackles issues that the vast majority of people have on the top of their agenda. Immigration. Left wing papers shy away from the subject.
.....don't blame the paper-for highlighting issues that concern every day folk.
If a political party came out with the policy. We are going to deport all immigrants of the last 10 years. They would walk the next general election. .....and the reason it's not racism....it's just simple logistics.....we are full up. |  |

Its not just asylum seekers, Rochdale attracts waifs and strays from all over the country because of the availability of cheap housing.

I can't imagine the additional pressure all this puts on local services but I have no doubt its substantial and underfunded and of course it cuts no ice with Ofsted and the like.

“There are very good reasons why some children in residential homes are placed outside their home area.
“This could be for their own safety, to break gang affiliation, to place them near other family members or to access specialist services.”
Oh and by the way its much cheaper.... and anyway no one really gives a monkeys until it all goes to ratshit and then Rochdale gets all the stick .. neat eh? [Post edited 3 Dec 2014 22:00]

The Day this Town actually gets some decent publicity it'd end up overshadowed by something major elsewhere there are far worser places than Rochdale it seems like Rochdale is current prime target by the Media outfits for Bad News |  |

I do worry, and it is a worry, that a government official realises that Asylum Seekers aren't good for votes and wants to hide them so as not to lose votes.
Now, where would you best hide a pin?
In a pin cushion of course, amongst hundreds of pins.
Thus, asylum seekers aren't best placed in, say, Woking where they'd stick out like a sore thumb. Better to put them in Rochdale (predominantly behind the old Merry Monk from my eyesight) where they'll blend in seamlessly. |  |

Childrens homes continued...
It would be 5 times cheaper to send them to Eton College but I guess we all know why politicians of any party would never try to make that happen!
"An independent investigation into children’s homes in England which are failing to
manage and protect children who run away or go missing. This is despite spending
£1billion a year on just under 5,000 children cared for in children’s homes averaging
£200,000 per child."

The DM is quite often not "spot on" though. There have been plenty of public apologies and law suits it's had to endure. I put it in the same category as the Sun & Mirror. Other papers offer a balanced view on pressing issues not just a BIG SHOUTY HEADLINE to grab folks attention.
I'm not some utopian lefty. Far from it both on an economic and social sense. But I strongly disagree that a policy of deporting immigrants would win any election. The BNP, NF, EDL or whatever their latest incarnation may be have been coming out with that rhetoric for 40 years and not won a single (uk) parliamentary seat. |  |
