Illegal detention of migrants, a thread: Today’s High Court Ruling confirms it was illegal & irrational for the govt to detain refugees in prison-like conditions in #NapierBarracks. It was also inhumane and, at a time of pandemic, dangerous.

The findings of the Judicial Review were damning. The Court found Priti Patel ignored Public Health England advice making it “virtually inevitable that large numbers of residents would contract Covid, a disease capable of causing hospitalisation, long-term harm or death” 2/10
At least 200 people contracted Covid at Napier, with the associated risk for local residents and #NHS staff. The Court also found that Patel ignored fire safety advice. And the court found that detaining asylum seekers in detention-like camps breached their human rights 3/10
Seeing a lot of "at least they had accomodation. What about homeless veterans" arguments when discussing #NapierBarracks. UK spends £392million on immigration enforcement. Money better spent on helping the homeless than imprisoning asylum seekers. 1/
Camps such as Napier cost more to set up and operate than pretty much any other form of accommodation for asylum seekers, but make for a great PR stunt. Asylum seekers are denied right to work and provided with an allowance of £39.63 pw. They are denied council accommodation. 2/

Thread...I value these hardworking & polite people over the hordes of undesirables currently displaying their gratitude at #NapierBarracks, which both @Conservatives & @UKLabour have deliberately flooded the UK with for decades in order to destroy our nation for the globalists.
The fact of the matter is the British have never been consulted on the inevitable effects of mass, uncontrolled immigration on our culture, traditions, employment opportunities, housing market, education, health care, services & general way of life....
all the while being forced to fund exorbitant salaries (& living expenses!) of those 'in power' who are foisting these unwanted changes on us. It is particularly infuriating that these 'globalist puppets' (who care not one jot for the ordinary citizens of this country) remain....
