A giant three-story houseboat arrived in the UK Tuesday ready to house at least 500 asylum seekers to help ease a daily $7.5 million hotel bill.

The Bibby Stockholm arrived by tow in Falmouth, where it will be refit before moving again to be berthed off the coast of Dorset.

Looks like a floating jail....which is what it should be. When the inhabitants create a problem, just tug it out to sea and have them calm down....or something. This is making a simple problem even worse...rewarding the illegal behaviour with another way to satisfy the enemies of a nation that once had borders. Like every where else in the West. A true Camp of the Saints in slow motion.....

They can only be in it for 18 months. Then what are they going to do with them.

We in the US already have that problem named...it’s called homeless camps.

The Falklands would be a safe place for them.

And there’s wool they can weave into rugs to earn pounds.

“homeless”

This is the eastern city limit of Los Angeles.

It looks like the Mojave Desert.

I’m out of gold stars.

Sounds like the prison hulks the British used that killed off huge numbers of patriot POWs in the Revolutionary War.
