If that is the case, then reducing costs and increasing the efficiencies of this operation should be relatively straight forward?

They can start with removing the Koi Carp from the river and sacking the butlers and manservants on board that keep the place tickety boo.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

Aside from the salmonella issue, which wasn't acceptable, I never understood what was wrong with this accommodation. I spent quite some time in similar accommodation offshore in my early career. It was fine then and it remains fine for the thousands of British workers who continue to use such facilities in the Oil and Gas industry in UK waters and further afield.

So the question is why do you think it's not good enough for asylum seekers?

Did you spend 24/7 on board a barge and have your movements restricted?

They can leave the vessel any time, where have you read that they can't? However if they do leave and don't come back it affects their asylum statues.

More lies?

Or, just get rid as the visual gimmicks are no longer needed now that the adults are in the room.

I was on jack up and semi sub platforms (oil rigs) for three weeks at a time in the southen north sea mostly. So you could say I had my movement restricted sonewhat. There were no amenities on board apart from a galley and a tv room.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

A 5.5 per cent pay rise, thank you.

And still getting teaching staff cheap ;)

But you went there voluntarily? And am I right in thinking you would have been able to leave within a reasonable time if you wanted to?

Again, they can leave the barge they are not detained. What is it with your inability to take in information.

Did I use the word detained? They do have their movements restricted by regime designed to treat them like they live in an open prison.

Movements restricted? God you're making shit up as you go along slingback.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

Really because the same phrase is used in the article. Try reading to the end, or have your carer summarise it for you.

Have you seen a therapist about why you like to imagine strangers in women's clothes?

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

But you went there voluntarily? And am I right in thinking you would have been able to leave within a reasonable time if you wanted to?

Yes I was there voluntarily and in an emergency I would be airlifted off. I supose you could say the same for an asylum seeker who has crossed a safe continent to get to the UK could you not.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

If they are going to be making savings on the accommodation where are the people going to live that are on there?

More importantly how much would that cost?

The contract is not being renewed past January because they are planning to remove the backlog of claimants by actually processing their claims.

If asylum claimants in waiting are reducing in volume then they will gradually remove the most expensive of the existing accommodation options first. Hence Bibby is first to go.

So to answer your question they will either be processed or they’ll be moved to much more affordable accommodation that is currently hosting another applicant whose claim will be processed. Either way the cost to the tax payer is massively reduced.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

Were all the residents of the barge people who arrived on small boats?

 

[PPT]

Or, just get rid as the visual gimmicks are no longer needed now that the adults are in the room.

If they can reduce costs then I'm right behind them. Just tell us, how are they going to do it, and what will the cost reduction(s) be? As you say, the adults are now in the room, so it shouldn't be to difficult - should it?

 

[mosssideblue]

It shouldn't be costing billions to moor a boat, now the Tories are gone couldn't they streamline the costs a bit because that's fucking excessive isn't it?

Iirc it’s on a lease, costing a fortune

Not good VFM I suspect

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Iirc it’s on a lease, costing a fortune

NAO figures, based on access to Home Office accounts, show that the cost of acquiring, leasing, setting up and running the 430 capacity barge will be £34.8 million for 2023/24 and 2024/25. That equates to almost £4,500 per month per head.17 May 2024

From the Telegraph.

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Less than a month they've been in and the country is fucked already.
