The UK government admits that building camps to hold immigrants in would be more expensive than the current arrangement that holds them in hotels during the asylum seeking process, but says that it is worth it because it will please the right-wing protesters that fearmonger about immigrants being dangerous.

Opinion time: This is a terrible idea, as:

• You should never give ground to racists.
• Hotels are designed with paying customers in mind, so they are at least bearable to stay in. These camps will be designed by people who actively hate those who will stay in them, and as has been seen time and time again, that will mean borderline inhumane living conditions.
