So as of this week, asylum seekers have started to board the Bibby Stockholm - all 39 of them.
Until today that is. Health and Safety have now discovered the virus linked with Legionaires disease in the boat's water supply so they have been taken off again.
The story going around yesterday, is that it would have been CHEAPER to put the asylum seekers in the SAVOY HOTEL in London.

As of today, Nadine Dorries' "resignation with immediate effect" has lasted longer than Liz Truss' Premiership LOL.
Our pal Nadine reps the constituency next to mine. The councils of various towns within it (mostly Tory run!) have been desperately trying to get her to step down as shes done near nothing locally in years now - but shes ignoring them

Seriously? I guess we should be pleased it's been banned - but firstly you want to see the ban in action before you believe it and secondly, how on earth did we get here in the first place?
"The UKs energy regulator is to ban a controversial practice by electricity generators in which they made tens of millions of pounds a day for helping to balance the grid.
Energy companies were accused of manipulating the market, by saying they were going to switch off their generators just at the moment they were most needed. Under the UKs grid balancing system, they were then offered inflated prices to turn them back on.
The scale of the profits made from the balancing regime was enormous. Balancing costs paid ultimately by the taxpayer tripled in the winter of 2021/22, to over £1.5bn between November 2021 and February 2022, compared to average annual winter balancing costs of just under £500m for between 2017 and 2020, Ofgem said."
This interview with a former Civil Servant on Radio 4 Today's programme about the crumbling schools is both utterly shocking and totally damning. The government were warned of a 'critical risk to life' for children in these schools and yet CUT the budget for repairs and rebuilding.
