Barry House - what happens there?

[Mick Mac]

Does anyone know what happens at Barry House, the church building at top of Barry Road. I pass it every morning and there are groups of people and coaches/mini buses waiting to take them somewhere? I've always wondered what they are doing - anyone know?

[DonGee]

I too have also wondered that, I get the impression from the people out there that it could well be a hostel of some sort.

[Ann]

They are asylum seekers and Barry House is a temporary holding house until the people are re-directed to other parts of the country where their applications are processed. Hence the constant flow of coaches.

Hostel and reception for Easten european's

[puzzled]

it is a secret transit centre for foreigners trying to take jobs from decent hard-working british people. the daily mail should be told

[bob]

No secret they don't look for job's just bomp on and get free housing.

Yes. We should send them home to where they came from.

If their country of origin will not accept them we should declare war on that country.

The resulting war will then stimulate our job market.

Once more your genius for a wind-up shines through bob :-)

What's next in the pipeline following the success of the Times Online article?

[thexwinglessxbird]

Funny enough, alot of trouble makers come from that place/hanging about outside. Most of them don't seem like decent people at all. Have witnessed police stopping by outside many, many times.

[James]

It ought to be a retirement home for people called Barry. Barry Crier could be the first.

[SeanMacGabhann]

This is ridiculous - people throwing all sorts of unsubstantiated slurs with no back up

First of all, when police are called to that houe, it's because "locals" have being getting their kicks from teasing the refugees. I used to live right near there and saw it many a time.

As for refugees "coming over here and taking our jobs/or doing fack all but taking our houses" - that debate has been had many times but if you believe that life is THAT simple then it's not worth engaging you in a debate tbh

[KalamityKel]

De ja vu of the bus driver thread... oh dear!

[James]

A bit different I reckon. The rude bus driver is probably not a refugee. However most of the 'immigrants' I have encountered put British people to shame with their work ethic and self-sacrifice.

Haven't we tried that a couple of times of late? Didn't seem to work; the evil and perfidious Capitalist Forces were hellbent on destroying the world banking system, regardless of the best efforts of Our Glorious Leader. Remember: it is / was not His fault!

Sorry, I've digressed.....

Yeah, I've lived pretty close to Barry House for 7yrs and the behaviour of the refugees has always been perfect. People seem to think that just because they often hang around then they must be "up to something", whereas the real reason that they congregate outside is because it is marginally less boring than sitting in a featureless bedsit by yourself (contrary to popular belief, refugees aren't immediately given a Sky HD + package).

Tiger Ranks, you are aware that refugees are not allowed to work as soon as they enter the country, that they have to be processed first?

I'll tell you what totally p*sses me off, the people who are profiting from the misery of these people ( i've seen really expensive cars parked in the drive, outside Barry house & I doubt that they belong to the 'freeloaders' ) & the idiots who whine about their tax money going on these free-loaders. most of my pals are foreign, all of them have degrees & none of them are free loaders. My ex is Colombian, she had a Masters degree in maths ( distinction ), she left a high ranking job in Colombia to travel & see the world, yet, due to a combination of cr*p visa laws & unfair xenophobia, had to work in a well known chain of stores as a manager for under ?10k per year, she actually had 2 jobs, she cleaned at the LSE ( illegally & was paid peanuts for it. ) Compare this to my English pal who earned more cash than her ( she worked in a similar shop ) & was as lazy as fk.

As for 'them' taking our jobs, I challenge u to spend a month cleaning toilets for peanuts.

Ps: at least my ex learnt how to use punctuation.

I heard that it was a Care Home for the Elderly until the owner realised that there was more profit to be made in cramming refugees there and promptly kicked the residents out with 1 months notice.

[Huguenot]

What you mean that on top of all the other crimes they're responsible for, REFUGEES also throw our old people out onto the streets!!!!

Do you really think that anyone would leave their home country deliberately so they can live in some hostel and get a couple of rides in a minibus? Shock horror, with tax payers money, blah blah.

[LegalEagle-ish]

Asylum seekers are are not allowed to work until their asylum claim has been undecided and therefore outstanding, for at least a year.
