Some great nations come to a tragic end. Britain’s demise, however, is just ridiculous.
“EXCLUSIVE: Migrant centre branded inhumane – because the Wi-Fi is slow and it has no local hair salon, inspectors say,” by Chris Pollard, Daily Mail, July 8, 2023:
Inspectors have declared a new migrant detention centre is ‘inhumane’ – because the wi-fi is slow and mobile signal unreliable.
Prison watchdog the Independent Monitoring Boards (IMB) also complained Derwentside removal centre, set in picturesque countryside in County Durham, does not have its own hair salon and a private GP visits only twice a week.
And it said the women-only facility is a long drive from the South East, a journey that may leave illegal migrants ‘tired, disorientated or stressed’.
Inspectors have advised the Home Office to ‘reconsider its suitability’ despite admitting the accommodation is good. Staff at the centre outnumber migrants almost six to one. Last year, there were 97 workers looking after 17 migrants.
In its report, the IMB said: ‘We consider that the location of Derwentside, plus the inadequate communications infrastructure, is unsuitable and leads to treatment of detained women that is in some respects inhumane.
‘Added to the difficulty with the physical location is the unreliable mobile phone reception.’
It advised detainees should be supplied with iPads to help them overcome translation issues and make friends. But it complained: ‘A practical obstacle to this is that the wi-fi signal in the residential units is not adequate to support the functioning of these tablets.’…
The centre is run by private firm Mitie on behalf of the Home Office at a cost of £100,000 a year for each detainee.
Tory MP Peter Bone said: ‘It’s laughable to suggest that we should ensure good mobile coverage for people who shouldn’t even be here….
John Allan says
It’s costing more than TWICE the average salary to KEEP them there!
Why don’t we just send them to a desert island?
ALONG with the idiot inspectors!?

One day brother one day !

I,ll drink to that.
They threw their mobiles in the channel, so why they need Ipads etc,
I guess the mattresses will be to firm too.
Hopefully the food will be kosher.

“Tory MP Peter Bone said: ‘It’s laughable to suggest that we should ensure good mobile coverage for people who shouldn’t even be here….”
He thinks logically. Too bad more are not like him.
A hundred thousand pounds a year for each “migrant.” Guess that’s close to $100,000 a year for each one….that’s more than most people make in a year for a family of four, these days.
Why is there such a need for them to have what they would not have if they had stayed home?
Countries such as somalia, and sudan, don’t have fast internet and a hair salon on every corner if they have them at all. If the women are mozlum, why do they need to have their hair done? Just to cover it up?
As for “making friends,” they have the other residents there to befriend. They don’t need wi-fi for that.
these “inspectors” are stupid trouble-makers.

With a 97 workers to 17 migrants ratio I certainly hope the residents are getting halal tea time in addition to halal meals including breakfast in bed. /sarc
somehistory says
Yeah, and the workers who aren’t serving teas and preparing meals, can do the hair for these women….slaves to their every wish.

OH! The Horror! The lack of humanity!

UK: Inspectors declare new migrant centre ‘inhumane’ because wi-fi is slow and it has no hair salon.
The term migrant centre should be “Illegal migrant centre”.
DHZ says
And they’re also not handing out free cash.
Rarely says
WHAT??? No cookies and milk at bedtime??? Oh, the humanity!!!!
martin fidal says
The Trojan horse never had wifi or a hair salon !!!
࿗Infidel࿘ says
For people who never shave except maybe their mustaches, why do they need hair salons?
Also, internet is bida, so why would they need WiFi at all?
Treereen says
LOL! Does that mean the vast majority of English villages are “inhumane” as well? A mile or two out of a town and they all have unreliable phone signal, slow internet and no hair salons as well as narrow and windy roads, sporadic to no public transport and poor to no street lighting. When did talking on the phone, internet access and hair care become “human rights”?
“a private GP visits only twice a week” – That’s more than most indigenous get with NHS GP phone appointments and multi-month waiting lists.
“detainees should be supplied with iPads” – This is completely bizarre. Why iPads? Could having no access to iPads be grounds for overturning deportations? There’s a precedent with the Jamaican criminals and temporary lack of access to mobile phones in pre-deportation detention.
However, the most scandalous thing is the £100,000 a head price tag. The government wouldn’t spend anywhere near this much per head on helping the homeless, assisting pensioners, or on cancer patients. But arrive from France on a rubber boat and the UK is your free oyster.

We have NO government. The ‘law’ is completely out of control.
There is an unbelievable idea that voting ‘labour’ will make the slightest difference.They are all the same rubbish.
Michael Copeland says
Does anyone know if the private contractor, Mitie, employs mostly “minority” workers? This seems to be the case with Serco, who are contracted to provide accommodation for the illegal rubber dinghy arrivals, and who take whole hotels. The videos by Britain First visiting these hotels almost always show foreign-looking (and often foreign-sounding) security staff.
