Glad we agree on something
Yes I saw that report. To be honest it's a bit confusing. The general eligibility condition for anyone not a UK citizen or from the EU, EEA or Switzerland is that you have to be what is known as 'habitually resident' and lived in England, Scotland or Wales for the last 2 out of 3 years. There is a specific exception to those conditions for people who came from Ukraine which implies that the rule applies to other refugees. However it's not clear. The thing that is clear is that asylum seekers can't claim PIP.Interestingly there seems to have been a case on the time condition of this but it seems to be limited to refugees
Court rules disabled child refugees entitled to support
A court has ruled that disabled child refugees should be entitled to access Disability Living Allowance following a legal challenge brought by the Child Poverty Action Group on behalf of Refugee Council and Red Cross clients. Refugees are fully entitled to claim mainstream support, but in order...www.refugeecouncil.org.uk
The fact the poster had heard about also seems to have come from Katie Hopkins judging by my short Twitter search
Sorry to see some think community unrest is funny
There's a whole range of opinions about the issue but there's been nobody on this thread who is trying to pretend that the current situation is desirable or even satisfactory. However the reasoning behind that general disapproval is instructive. There are people who are against any form of immigration and others who feel that the situation is being made worse, probably intentionally, by the government failing to deal with it properly. There are also people who appear to have a specific dislike of asylum seekers and some of those who seem to hold that view for reasons that IMO are illogical, based on ignorance of the facts or misinformation. And of course it's possible that one or two are simply racist.
only then did the seriousness of the situation grasp those that continue to paint everyone as right wing bigots for mentioning what was brewing…and continue to ignore genuine points put to them as to why community situations are deteriorating.The article includes quotes from the Police ... "Enquiries established that a group of men had been in the vicinity of the girl while she was walking on Preston Road, Standish, at around 8pm on September 7. The girl had not been approached by the men ... The local Neighbourhood Police Team has investigated this report and conducted several reassurance visits with the family, and it has been established that no offences have been committed. In order to reassure the local community, officers have increased patrols in the area and are continuing to work closely with our colleagues from Wigan Council and all other local community partners to offer assurance to residents at the hotel and the wider community. The incident has been closed". It's quite a way down the page so perhaps you missed that bit when you claimed nothing had been done.This is the article I read, so why was the police presence increased at the school? Doesn’t that say something to you or are you still throwing the right wing / racist card at concerned parents because they feel that men filming their children is wrong

That’s the concern I’ve been raising throughout the entire thread but you keep going back to right wing agendas, the school also issued a stranger danger warning to parents following that encounter and another incident a week later, yet you fail to acknowledge these things are happening, why would the police increase patrols around an area if there was no reason to do so ?
No they couldn't have done because "nothing was done" was it?
As the Manchester Evening news can’t be uploaded here’s the same article in the DM ..,Again you seem to be drawn back to far right protesters and comparing them to concerned parents, can’t you tell the difference
I don't know why you're posting the same story again, it doesn't help your claim that "nothing was done". Quite the opposite. Why would you claim "nothing was done" when both articles make clear it's palpably untrue? I can't help noticing that you didn't post either of the articles when you made that allegation.As the Manchester Evening news can’t be uploaded here’s the same article in the DM ..,Again you seem to be drawn back to far right protesters and comparing them to concerned parents, can’t you tell the difference
---Students told to 'travel in groups' after men approach children

Perfect example of what’s going on, two different agendas here, one of concern the other of hate but some can’t seem to tell the difference.

What’s untrue? Did the school post fake emails ,there wasn’t a heightened police presence because pupils were being photographed and filmed and men were hanging round schools and the general area?
I don't know much about Serco but I do know people absolutely hate them.Saw there’s a landlord event coming up they must be looking into the private rental market instead of hotels.

It looks pretty tempting if you’re a landlord.
