The Government will end the use of the Bibby Stockholm barge for housing migrants off England’s south coast as part of an overhaul of the asylum system, the Home Office has announced.

The contract for the barge moored in Dorset will not be renewed past January as demand for such accommodation will be reduced by moves to clear the asylum backlog, the department said.

The vessel was one of several sites, including the military bases RAF Wethersfield in Essex and RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, used by the previous Tory government in a bid to cut the cost of housing migrants in hotels.

Talk’s Jeremy Kyle is joined by Kate Robson from No To The Barge Group, actively campaigning against the Bibby Stockholm.

    All those who voted Labour can share their home and provide for them.
  • Did our fathers and grandfathers run away from conflict during WW1 & WW11……no they didn’t, send the cowards back to fight thier own battles instead of running away !!
  • Where do they go? They occupy accommodation that should be for our own people and become the neighbours we didn't want.

    Thousands of them; hundreds of thousands. They are here for benefits. What about British people?

    You are forgetting that once they are given the right to stay they can bring there families in … let that sink in!

    This barge should have been docked in that foreign country LONDON
  • They are coming to our village slowly but surely - taking what houses the local council can allocate.
  • So why continue with the instant payments of benefits to illegals? When my parents decided to settle in the UK in 1961, and not in The Netherlands, my father had to prove he could support the family and he did so. Now the mantra is 'someone else will pay' and the whole issue is tearing the country apart - those who care at least.
