Somali refugees living in a $3m London mansion

[HockeyBjj]

Can I become a British refuge? Or do I need to tan more?

If you're not eating rats and reusing your toilet paper, you're not poor.

If you have a refrigerator, you're richer than the richest kings in 1100.

Oh they have a TV? They're about to enter the Forbes 50, clearly.

I think it is the fact that they have a place that could rent out at 900 pounds a week that is the issue. Not that they have a TV and refrigerator.

Aren't royalty like welfare recipients?

 

[ultramanhyata]

*above dual income upper middle class families who pay for this stuff

I'd rather live in the average 3000 square foot house with a yard than in a 1 bedroom unit in a three million dollar apartment complex.

 

[helltoupee]

sure, we all know every single person in Somalia is a fisherman

Have you been to Somalia?

So there is nothing called infrastructure, and supporting industries that also profit from fishing?

What about the dumping of toxic waste? Does that affect agriculture?

Sorry, but I fail to understand why every single person in Somalia must be a fishermen in order for you to recognize how you enjoy cheap goods at someone else's expense, and then don't want to take responsibility for it.

no seriously, why is a 'cleaner' a refugee?

not a doctor or engineer, but a janitor?

If you come from a country where pollution in the water can drastically effect your quality of life, mainly b/c the economy is non existent and you have ZERO skills....

You probably shouldn't be coming over to first world nations, as you literally bring nothing positive to the table

That's not even bringing up say the FGM rate of Somalia

Might want to check the basement for a secret rape room, knock on the walls.

Agree to disagree.

Just wanted to let you know that I've been staying up in 29palms last month or two - been driving back and forth from San Diego, as I've been doing some remodeling jobs with my uncle in Joshua Tree. Cold as shit up there!

You understand the refugees are generally poor to begin with? A refeugee at best is someone who's entire life was destroyed so they have less than nothing.

They're not fleeing on purpose, they're fleeing because they have to.

Immigrants with money just buy an American visa and then fly here.

And that is unattainable after 15 years?

Why would the UK take refugees from Somalia?

they haven't controlled the area since the 1960s (well w/ Italy also) and have nothing to do w/ the current warlard crises there now.....

IOW there's no economic refugee reasoning behind this.....

Because humans have empathy and care about the situations other humans are in and want to do what they can to help them.

I mean regular humans, not sociopaths like you of course.

isn't that what foreign aid is for?

You know it reality you don't need to solve problems with only one line of attack.

We call this nuance.

 

[Anung Un Rama]

Questions:
1. Whose house is this? Is it owned by somebody and he is renting to the gov't? Owned by somebody who is donating the use of his property? Or is owned by the gov't?
2. Do these people have the run of the entire house, or are they one of several families?

so settling a few refugee families and subsidizing their living for decades is solving problems?

I've been to Somalia relatively recently, not sure what problems you're referring to as being solved.....
