Minister Says Bit Of A Cheek For Asylum Seekers To Complain About Conditions Immigration And Asylum

The short-term detention unit at Manston, which is designed to house no more than 1,600 asylum seekers for no more than 24 hours, has descended into chaos over the past month as the number of people held there has risen to more than 4,000 according to with references. some stayed up to four weeks. The horrifying images show people reaching through barricades, sleeping on mats and cold and hungry children sharing blankets. Speaking on Times Radio on Friday, Chris Philp, the former immigration secretary who was handed the police job in the latest cabinet reshuffle, said: “If people choose to enter a country illegally, and unnecessarily, it’s a bit, you know, it’s a bit cheeky to then start complaining about the conditions you have illegally entered a country without needing… “They don’t even need to come here, they were already in France and in the past they often passed through Belgium, Germany and many other countries on the way.” Philp also insisted that asylum seekers from central Manston who were stranded in London earlier this week had told immigration officials they had addresses to go to. He said there had been a “misunderstanding” which had led to people arriving in London from Manston without accommodation or warm clothing, causing them to sleep rough. He insisted Manston’s website was now legally compliant, despite his comments coming two days after the Immigration Minister, Robert Jenrick, suggested Manson was not legally compliant. A group of 11 asylum seekers from Manston were left at Victoria train station on Tuesday afternoon with nowhere to stay, no winter coats and many of them in flip-flops, the Guardian reported on Wednesday. Philp told Sky News: “There are two groups of people and what I’ve been told by people on the Home Office immigration side is that both groups of people told immigration officials in Manston that they had addresses to go to, so friends and family. Obviously, it later turned out not to be the case. “Clearly that understanding was not accurate. how this misunderstanding came about – perhaps lost in translation – I do not know, but it is clear that they have now all been rectified.’ The Labor leader of Westminster City Council, Adam Hoog, told BBC Radio 4’s Today program that he believed the 11 people who arrived in Victoria had slept badly at night, adding: “Clearly there was a breakdown in communication.” Archie Bland and Nimo Omer take you to the top stories and what they mean, free every weekday morning Privacy Notice: Newsletters may contain information about charities, online advertising and content sponsored by external parties.

Hoog said the “chaos” of the situation meant local services and charities “had to take time off”. Other council leaders criticized the government’s approach to Manston. Stephen Evans, chief executive of Norwich council, said the Home Office did not warn his officials that migrants from Manston were being bussed into the city on Thursday. Speaking to Today, Evans said he first read about the team coming to Norwich in a news article. “They hadn’t told us. I visited colleagues at the town hall again – they hadn’t been told. So we don’t know who they are and we don’t know where they have gone in the city,” he said. “I think that’s part of the problem here. As a sector, councils are asking for early engagement from the Home Office and consultation with us.”
