Immigration in Llanelli

I see a lot of opposition to the situating of assylum seekers in Llanelli....it's a very complex situation in my view , but ultimately its the individual from abroad that suffers...I can understand the distrust and dislike of the 

All this has certainly opened my eyes to what people are really like in this town. Most are xenophobes who have no idea what they’re talking about. They don’t even know what an asylum seeker is. 

We could have kept the Dublin agreement , but Boris didn't want it ....These people are not being processed, the Westminster government just wants to create division ..but remember us in Wales do not matter ...after 800 years Westminster rule we are poor ..That's including nearly 200 years of coal extraction ....it's not about immigration any more , but whether we want to be slaves or do we want to decide on our own future ....poverty , sport , life in general is all down to politics ..... remember that the next time you vote

the war in syria has little if anything to do with western european nations. It’s more of  a civil war with russia propping up assad and if anything else it’s a pproxy war between saudi and iran. As for “their  people “ your talking about the taliban who are by and large hated in afghanistan and hardly surprising given their barbaric attitude , shocking treatment of women and the fact they propped up by a load of overseas fighters in their rAnks. Your failure to mention any of the above. Suggests you either have an agenda your trying to push , or know very little about either situation or possibly both. However even a broken clock is right twice a day and all the afghans who helped the west and their fanilies should have been given asylun

As Blair said “Education education education “ That’s one of his views I agree with if not much more. We are more “ ignorance is bliss “ in Wales at present sadly. So much work for our little nation to do

Also loss of a wedding venue which will be a hit on on income coming into plenty of other local businesses and plenty more local families. Asylum seekers need and deserve protection care and compassion but local communities also deserve protection from the failures of the English government .

I don't to repeat what I have said in a previous post, but the huge concern ATM, isn't just the arrival of the 200 refugees at the Stradey pk hotel, but the polarisation of opinion, and vitriol mainly stoked up by far right protesters, who have their own racist, agenda.
