Migrant Camp Takeover Outside Westminster Cathedral

Over the Easter weekend, dozens of migrants who were camping on the streets outside Westminster Cathedral were relocated for the second consecutive night.

Images captured this morning from the temporary camp revealed guys sleeping on cardboard boxes and peeing in the open against walls.

A few of the asylum seekers had their little tents with them. In neighbouring flowerbeds, others were observed discarding their cardboard beds.

The gentlemen were disbanded by security guards soon after 8 am however unhappy residents have told MailOnline it is now a regular occurrence in the opulent Central London borough.

One man, who chose to remain nameless, told MailOnline that locals were beginning to feel increasingly powerless over their situation.

He said: ‘There were dozens of them sleeping there when I was walking around at 7 am this morning. 

‘They were sleeping on cardboard and dirty mattresses – some had little tents. At 8 am, some grumpy-looking security arrived to move them away.

‘The migrants dumped their bedding in the flower beds and left. They have been coming back every night – nobody seems able to stop them.

‘Some of them were urinating in public against walls. It’s not nice for local people or the cathedral.

‘This is Easter weekend, there are constant services going on, it’s not right.’

Following the death of an asylum seeker in the channel yesterday, the tragic exhibition is the most recent migrant event to cast a shadow over the bank holiday.

Officials brought a body ashore at the Port of Dover after Border Force and the RNLI responded to an incident aboard a migrant dinghy mid-crossing.

Police confirmed they had launched an inquiry into the ‘circumstances leading to the man’s death’.

Last month, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper discussed sending asylum seekers to ‘return hubs’ in Albania, Serbia, Bosnia and North Macedonia with the head of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.

Under the proposals, the government would pay countries to accept migrants who have been rejected for asylum in the UK and have exhausted all avenues of appeals.

The plans, described as a ‘safe and legal resettlement route’, were drawn up by the government as part of Sir Keir Starmer’s strategy to prevent small boat arrivals.

A total of 9,099 migrants in 162 boats have come to the UK by crossing the Channel so far this year – 81 percent more than by this time in 2023.

Now, in a major boost for the government, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has come up with its own proposals for what the return hubs should look like. 

Government insiders have said the backing of the radical plans by the organisation was ‘vital’ given the UNHCR’s objection to the Rwanda scheme. 

The Supreme Court earlier declared the Conservative government’s proposal to address illegal migration unconstitutional when the UN body interfered.

One source told The Times: ‘It could be a game changer because it will help give us the necessary legal cover against any legal challenge and will also help us politically with our left-wing MPs who may have reservations.’

Another added: ‘Along with other countries, we are looking at how returns hubs could form a part of our commitment to rebuild confidence in the immigration and asylum system that was left in complete chaos by the Tories. 

‘We are in touch with UNHCR and welcome their work in this area.’

The UNHCR document stated there was a need for an ‘effective returns system’ and said it would offer support to countries wanting to establish return hubs.

It added, however, that it would need to meet their legal standards and that it would continuously monitor the hubs to ensure that human rights standards were ‘reliably met’.

The Netherlands is also currently in discussions with the Ugandan government about the possibility of a return hub for migrants.

Meanwhile, Albania presently has two empty migrant detention centres after Italian plans to use them as asylum processing centres fell through.

Labour has come under fire for abandoning the Tories’ Rwanda asylum agreement, which was intended to discourage migrants from putting their lives in danger in the Channel.

Their scheme would contrast with the Conservative’s Rwanda plans because they would only remove asylum seekers after their case was rejected.

Before hearing their case, the Rwandan plan called for sending illegal migrants to the East African nation.

There has been a continued decline in the UK and that has been happening for an extremely long time – now it’s time for someone else to step in.

The past two Labour governments have been more Conservative than Labour, and Labour is no longer a true socialist party, and now the nutters here in the UK want to return to Thatcherism with Farage and his Deform UK party. These nutters need to realise that it was Thatcher and all her policies that got us into this awful mess that we are in today.

Imagine if this was outside a mosque, there would be an uproar, and Starmer would be shouting Far Right and bringing in certain powers for the police and the courts. It’s Easter weekend, so why aren’t they being arrested for doing this outside a Cathedral – More two-tier Kier!

The UK is today a shattered, lawless nation.

Our Prime Minister needs to do something about this mass migration. It’s time for a State of Emergency—bring in the Armed Forces! Bring in big boats so that as soon as they reach our shores, they are incarcerated on those boats and sent back to France. Build a barrier so they can only get so far! There could be numerous ways around it, but our government sits on its derriere and does nothing. It’s time to act NOW!

My vision on life is pretty broad, therefore I like to address specific subjects that intrigue me. Therefore I really appreciate the world of politics, though I have no actual views on who I will vote for, that I will not tell you, so please do not ask! I am like an observation station when it comes to writing, and I simply take the news and make it my own. I have no expectations, I simply love to write, and I know this seems really odd, but I don't get paid for it, I really like what I do and since I am never under any pressure, I constantly find that I write much better, rather than being blanketed under masses of paperwork and articles that I am on a deadline to complete. The chances are, that whilst all other journalists are out there, ripping their hair out, attempting to get their articles completed, I'm simply rambling along at my convenience creating my perfect piece. I guess it must look pretty unpleasant to some of you that I work for nothing, perhaps even brutal. Perhaps I have an obvious disregard for authority, I have no idea, but I would sooner be working for myself, than under somebody else, excuse the pun! Small I maybe, but substantial I will become, eventually. My desk is the most chaotic mess, though surprisingly I know where everything is, and I think that I would be quite unsuited for a desk job. My views on matters vary and I am extremely open-minded to the stuff that I write about, but what I write about is the truth and getting it out there, because the people must be acquainted. Though I am quite entertained by what goes on in the world. My spotlight is mostly to do with politics, though I do write other material as well, but it's essentially politics that I am involved in, and I tend to concentrate my attention on that, however, information is essential. If you have information the possibilities are endless because you are only limited by your own imagination...
