    The base had a post office on it, & she had to show them how to carry on with the money.
    Coaches were laid on to take the refugees shopping to the Dunhelm shop in Rotherham, closed to the general public,
    they picked what they wanted from the store for free, paid by the government, through Doncaster council.
    Then the coaches took the refugees to Currys, for them to pick televisions, fridges / fridgefreezers / microwaves /
    washing machines etc, again paid through Doncaster council, by the government.

    Mate & his wife lived in Gainsborough, she got fed up of getting called out regular by the police in Doncaster,
    because some refugees were going boozing in Doncaster, getting into fights, & getting locked up, in the early
    hours 2am-3am of the morning, where she had to get them out of the cells.

    The refugees were given a mobile phone, plus a £10 voucher to put minutes on it every week, all the councils
    did this.
    When I questioned a Rotherham councillar about the £10 voucher he denied it, but I told him I knew, he wanted
    to know where I got the information from, to which I declined.
    Actually I got it from my sons partner who worked for Rotherham Council, sadly my son & his partner have passed
    away.
    Things she told me, from buying cars, train passes etc by the council's through the government.
    NO NO NO it isn’t the governments money, they don’t have any money it is your money and every other tax payer through generation after generation.

    Yeah it is, but why should our towns be subject to them instead? If the immigrates had been house in the leafy villages of Oxfordshire, Gloucester and Wiltshire etc etc, this would have been sorted out years ago.

    Plenty of old military bases around all of those places you named plus many other “nice” locations but they’ve chosen one of the most historical air bases in the world (the former home of the Red Arrows & 617 Squadron ie The Dam busters).
