Is Middlesbrough the UK's Germany? BBC News

- Middlesbrough is the only place in the UK that has more than one in 200 of the local population as an asylum seeker. Why is this?
This summer has seen one of the biggest movements of people across Europe since World War II . More than a million have fled the conflict in Syria and political instability in parts of Africa.
The number of people seeking asylum in the UK has risen by more than a fifth this year and those high levels are expected to continue. No more than one in every 200 of the local population should be an asylum seeker according to government guidance.
Jim Reed has been to Middlesbrough, the only place in the UK that breaks that limit, with one in 186.

If Britain was a war zone wouldn't you send your family to a safe place, then stay and fight for your country? or run away and leave them there....
+BBC Bias Revealed! Only a level 2 troll racist type those are easy.
send the wife and kids away and stay and fight not run and leave them to get raped makes me sick coward
I'd fight and die for my country. Kids and women don't need to leave the country.
He's left his wife and kids in a warzone . Why he should be there to protect them to fight for them but he runs away and leaves them to their fate cowardice...
ADVICE :- Do not leave your family in a warzone.
A women left her child in the garden while on Facebook, the child drowned in a pond, she got 5 YEARS.
Police, ARREST this man NOW !
So full of lies.
1. he states that it was his dream to move to UK . what proves that he is not running from war but seeking better life.
2 he goes off topic when asked why he left his wife and eventually we get absurd explanation that he simply left her there to die because supposedly if he will stay at home the all will die so our hero is saving his ass.
3 he seem to be pretty happy for guy who just lost his family. I would say that he is real psychopath, normal person would be crushed with grief in that situation
I don't get why they come all the way to the UK. We are an island, they struggle to get here on trucks in awful conditions. So why don't they stay in the countries they first land in, or even the continental ones.
Because they know it's safe here
The guy is not being honest here, there is a reason why he illegally came to the UK and passed through several safe countries along the way, he is keeping up the lie and the authorities prefer to impose these charlatans in large numbers on British towns rather than actually uphold the law and immediately deport all people who arrive into the country illegally.
It's the same story in Ireland.
No one will ever forget the legacy of the people of Middlesbrough against people who sought refuge.
And these are The people who claim the superiority of Christianity.
shove it, mate
@@mightymike2192 hurts doesn’t it .
I live in this area, Middlesbrough should be proud that we welcome them in and look after them better than some other cities. Put bluntly we put other area's to shame, especially the rich south.This is it tho isnt it, they are disproportionately coming to Middlesbrough because housing is so cheap. What troubles me in 1 year when the refugee funding of up to 24,000 will go. Each of these refugees will be expected to look for work. In an area already with one of the highest rates of unemployment in the country, which has just lost 2,000 steel jobs, will lose another 3/4000 as the supply lines are effected (ports, transit). The airport is about to potentially go to. Its not fair that we who are already doing more thyan other areas should bare a bigger refugee burden than areas who havent just been decimated for jobs.
Brigby - I live near Middlesbrough as well. The area's been going down the pan for decades with the only jobs those created when Labour was in power - all those non-jobs such as diversity officer and so on which don't help to regenerate the local economy. Wait til the newcomers are allowed to work but there are no jobs for them or they get offered the few jobs ahead of the local population - there'll be real tensions then. As for the cheap housing there are young people (or divorced older people) who'd have snapped at the chance to buy one of those terraced houses for a nominal price and they wouldn't have been boarded-up eyesores.
The men when they are settled will have their wives and 5 or 6 children sent in. Wow Burden the system more.
Very interesting video clip !
the fact that war can tear apart a nation populated by people with smartphones, white collar jobs and families is an incentive to take them in rather than an excuse not to. After all, if it can happen there it can happen here.
they should go to Saudi!
+chuck Berry they dont want them either
TheOldGeezer - Maybe Israel??
chuck Berry no one wants them idiot
TheOldGeezer - No shit Sherlock!
chuck Berry k
Where are the women and kids?
I'm a Canadian born of parents from thornaby.can I come back and get a free flat? I'm willing to work.have been a bricklayer for years
#searchazam 5y old boy kidnapped and beaten up .... Somewhere Serbia-Germany with broken jaw. Help to find him. Kidnapped by migrant
+Ivie Eve Best hashtag to use is #FindAzam
+Goldie Dawn #FindAslan
+Ivie Eve #findazam
I cant sleep since I seen that video and feeling sick..... I wont rest till he is found.
+Ivie Eve Our team is currently in Serbia trying to find him
@Tristan, Jews are the most peaceful minority here in Europe and between 10 million taliban we really cant find them a lot
He is absolutely right and he is the prime reason the safe Western world need to help.
Is Middlesbrough the UK's Germany? BBC News... no it,s pakistan or india
I could never leave my family to die in a war. If he didn't leave because he was poor why did he risk crossing the sea from France? Are the French having a war i don't know about or are they not benefits for them there?
I'm from Middlesbrough and I'm fine.
Snap
Genuine and grateful Syrian refugees welcome i say, economic migrants, get rid. Grant genuine asylum seekers food and housing, get them doing community work and let them whether out the storm over here until such a time as it is safe to go back. That's my opinion on all this anyway
from Turkey? it's a safe zone.
I'm german and I think Cameron's behaviour in this crises is a lack of solidarity. There are many others countries, which already have much more immigrants than the UK and you are closing the EU Tunnel... gives the EU as a community a very bad image, but at the same time I cant make peace with Merkel's politic these days
I live in middlesbrough love it wouldn't want to leave . We have the only moving bridge the transporter bridge
I know right and he shouldn't talk about our town like its another planet plus i live in a really nice part of middlesbrough
There is another transporter bridge in Newport South Wales, I moved from there to Teesside when I was younger, both were steel towns at the time, felt like it was just like home, just a different accent. Teesside is a great place to live, good shops and transport links, coast and country and reasonably priced property as well as museum and arts facilities. I’ve travelled and lived all over the world and UK, always come back.
The Dublin Regulation states that asylum seekers have their asylum claim registered upon arrival in the first country of safety. So why didn’t he claim asylum in Germany or France? The answer is because the UK gives free housing, free NHS and plentiful of benefits - Germany and France don’t. He entered the UK illegally so hopefully the authorities will catch up with him and deport him.
Nothing wrong with helping people in genuine need.....but most of these people aren't fleeing any wars to start with (and if they were, then they'd be happy to reside in the nearest country......and not be bothered about travelling another 5 or 6 countries to get here?) And if you'd knowingly leave your wife and kids in a (supposed) war-zone, then you're obviously a pretty poor excuse for a human being (and hardly a benificial member of any society or country) Although I've never seen one immigrant that doesn't have a smart-phone (so I guess this guy has his priorities sorted, eh?)
The incentive here is money (pure and simple) because these people come from corrupt countries, who's leaders pretty much steal the billions in foreign aid that *WE* send them every year (as our own industries struggle and crumble) The problem *isn't* that these immigrants want a better life (who can blame them) but the problem *is* OUR rules that allow such immigrants to come here. We are not that big a country.....we cannot house several other countries (all double in size) just because it's politically correct to do such. It's simple ergonomics. And it doesn't help that these immigrants seem to constantly breed either.....more children.....more benefits? Note the female immigrant, who clearly states she will never return home (even if there were no further troubles in her homeland) I don't blame her.....I blame a government that would allow this to happen?
As a Middlesbronian, my main gripe with immigrants is their inability to assimilate with British values or rules. They seem determined to turn this country into the third world shithole, that they've just fled. We waste more money (through local councils) on 'interpreters' for people who will never make any effort to learn the language of the country they reside in.
Sometimes, you have to put 'logic' and 'practicality' before bleeding-heart liberalism?
Middlesbrough is (currently) proof of such.
Future socialist voters at all cost.
At least he's bothered to learn the language. He speaks better english than most english people.
He is an English teacher, hardly surprising he can speak it...
BBC virtue signalling as always
Boro is the the most against immigrants coming in and we have the most in the uk 🤔
All Men, where are the Women?
Andy McDonald is a joke, I live on the Meath/longstaff alley garden. It’s only going because of our hard work. They only ever appear when it’s a media opportunity. Shame on Labour, I hope they get it right this time around.
He left Syria for middlesbro.......shudnt of been the other way round....???!🤔
People who are in need to feel safe, fleeing from war, who have been through so much pains, who have lost loved ones...homes..deserved a safe place,deserved a kind treatment. economic refugees dont....
If there are 4 millions jewish refugees from Syria, I bet very few Israel haters can say that Israel wont take them in
Oh dear another bbc love child
Most poignant comment, there is no safer place, best option is in the manner of how you get kill.
Life must be harsh in other countries to find living in sunkissed boro such a luxury
He says he came here for safety but left his wife and kids behind such a loving Husband and Father .
It's time for Brits to emigrate.....
Don't talk like i have to leave my town were all my family were born
No never this is my home ill never leave and ill fight for my town and country at a drop of a hat.
#UTB
It breaks my heart to read at all these hateful comments here. It shows how hostile many people are. It is frightening.
I am German and I know the fear and anxiety that comes with large waves of refugees very well. But I have never lived in poverty, danger, or anywhere near as bad circumstances as these people who are doing everything they can to get to Germany or England. Of course, it is never okay to break the law or take advantage of the welfare system. That should not happen.
I have worked with refugees and if you just listen to them without prejudice, you understand them - how could you not? Most of them don't want to leave their home country and embark on a flight that is incredibly dangerous - but the prospect of staying in their home country is worse than the flight. They are incredibly desperate and often whole families put all their hopes and money in one person who comes to Europe, because he then can send money to the family at home. I can't even begin to imagine this level of desperation and I'm just grateful to be German.
This is why were fucked
British people aren't moving to Middlesbrough, towns like Middlesbrough have a declining population. Tell me how to get people from Manchester and London to move to teeside?
