Remember, Civil Serpents, The Name Of Your Department Is The HOME Office...

...not the Foreign Office. That's another department entirely:

Ellie Robinson was one of more than 150 students at Huddersfield University left in the lurch after a deal was struck between the Home Office and landlords to move asylum seekers into the HD1 building.

...

...the first-year international business student was horrified when, with no prior warning, she was told the bombshell news that her tenancy contract had been cancelled - just weeks before the start of term. Devastated Ellie was left in a state of panic as she and scores of other students scrambled to find last-minute replacement accommodation, in a fiasco branded as 'disgusting' by locals and a 'total mess' by Huddersfield's MP.

My sympathy is tempered a little by the fact that most of these students will be 'Refugees are welcome!' types, as indeed Ellie proves immediately:  

Speaking about migrants taking over the tower block, she added: 'I get why they're doing this – they're doing it to better their lives. But it's a real inconvenience for students. There have to be other places they can do this.'

So, Ellie, if you decide to 'better your life', how will you do it? Get a good job and work hard, or invade another country and demand the people there provide you with everything free of charge? 

The news outraged Labour's shadow immigration minister Stephen Kinnock who told LBC students were 'paying the price for the Government's reliance on emergency accommodation'.

You've got a brass neck a mile wide to claim that. 

The Home Office said Britain was facing a huge demand from asylum seekers crossing the Channel.

Then stop them. Because if they are coming from France, a safe country, they aren't asylum seekers at all. And you know it.  

Mair Godley, Useful Idiot...

Mair Godley is distressed for both the asylum seekers and residents about the situation all have found themselves in without having any choice in the matter.

Actually, Mair, they did have a choice. They could have stayed in France... 

She said: “We are all dumbfounded by the speed with which this has happened. The Home Office don’t seem to understand that this is not just about us, it’s about two communities of human beings, both as important as each other.

But only one community which has the right to be here, Mair... 

“We have asked the guards on the base if we can talk to the asylum seekers but they just say no, we have to ask the Home Office. We want to find a way to bring the two communities together. The Home Office has made this place look like a stalag.”

Rather approprite, then, Mair. Since stalags were used to house prisoners of war. And a war is undoubtedly what we're in. And every war, it seems, has to have its Quislings...
