Small boat migrants to be sent to six UK military bases as pressure grows to close asylum hotels
The Daily Mail ^ | 08 Nov 2025 | SEAN RAYMENT and DAVID BARRETT

Plans have been drawn up to send small boat migrants to six military bases around the country as ministers come under growing pressure to close asylum hotels.

A list of sites from Surrey to Cumbria โ€“ all of which could be brought into use within weeks - has been compiled by the Ministry of Defence, the Mail on Sunday can disclose.

The plan would see migrants accommodated on Army training camps where facilities have recently been upgraded but which are not currently being used by the military.

The bases include two sites in Norfolk, West Tofts and Wretham; Knook Camp in Wiltshire; Brunswick Camp in Surrey; Warcop in Cumbria; and Castlemartin in Pembrokeshire.

All the sites have been upgraded since 2020 and would be able to accept migrants immediately, defence sources have confirmed.

The camps would each be able to take several hundred migrants and house them in a secure, fenced location.

However, migrants are not detained at Home Office sites and are free to leave at any time.

An existing accommodation centre, Wethersfield in Essex, offers migrants a shuttle bus service to three nearby towns that runs seven days a week, 365 days of the year.

But the plans are expected to trigger a row with residents living nearby.

West Tofts and Wretham are located in a desirable part of south Norfolk, near the English Heritage prehistoric site Grimeโ€™s Graves.

Kinda reminds me of the Jesus Christ Superstar flick. Thee scene where he pleads “there’s too many of you!” as tall the poor touched his garment.

Only partially. The obvious solution is not let them come in in the first place.

‘Migrant hotels’ are in towns with lots of British neighbors who take umbrage at the rape of their daughters. The military bases are usually in the sticks with far fewer locals to raise a fuss. A downside to this is that the influx of thousands of third-world ‘newcomers’ will overwhelm local services like the national health service.

Send them home and reduce their home country’s foreign aid by an amount double of what it costs to send them home.

The interesting part...

“...All the sites have been upgraded since 2020...”

Note that the Daily Fail didn’t expand on why that was...

For starters, on just one location.

From 2021...

Much too late. The UK is gone, as is much of Europe.

It might be a good idea to bring back The Iron Curtain, to keep the turd worlders out.

Small boat migrants should be immediately taken to large boats and shipped back to Africa.

Good idea, but...
The rest of the world is also infiltrated, to some degree, so it’s just a matter of time until it all hits the fan.

Yes, they are finally waking up. We can thank President Trump for showing them the way. Citizens in free countries to NOT have to accept invasions of third world 'new voters' for low life evil political parties.

When Vietnam had 95% tariffs on the United States were they taxing' our people? Or their citizens? Or was it a part of international trade deals? What the hell is the Supreme Court thinking?

Will dock fees be considered 'taxes' next?
