So-called civic leaders have decided, seemingly without consultation ( well, not one that involved asking anybody else what they thought), that the city is to become a sanctuary for asylum seekers and refugees.
They point out that it is a unanimous and popular decision with only a very few people objecting and these apparently need to re-educate themselves.
They have taken in a small number of such people already and it has been, according to them, a resounding success and people in Gloucester look forward to hearing their inspirational tales and all about their fascinating homelands and cultures ( that they ran away from).
I am willing to bet a large sum of money that this is NOT the view of the vast majority of those living in Gloucester and I seriously hope they all withhold their fucking council tax. The comments page of a local newspaper confirmed my suspicions.
The last time I went to Gloucester I was struck by what a large number of homeless people there were, I can only imagine how encouraged they are by this news!
