New Housing Tailored for Communities

New housing tailored for communities

Rotherham adopts pandering pragmatic approach

By Ray Parkin

NEW houses built in Rotherham could be specially designed to cater for the growing minority ethnic community.

Council bosses are concerned that most new developments are built to a standard pattern and don’t take different cultures into account. Now they hope to persuade builders planning new developments in areas with large black and minority ethnic populations to consult with local residents first. The council says homes could then be designed differently to take into consideration the way people from different cultures live their lives.
That could mean bigger kitchens for communal eating, more privacy for women, greater security, no letter boxes and even provision for a barbecue – a social ritual for some ethnic groups. (Australians?) Colour schemes and window shapes could even differ to take into account different traditions.

There is no official legislation which can force house builders to make special provision. Instead builders must be persuaded to take local needs into account when planning new developments.

A report to the council’s Cabinet says: “Housing developers must ensure they are not directly or indirectly creating barriers to any of Rotherham’s communities.
“Rotherham is made up of communities each of which has its own unique identity, population and needs. Housing developers must be informed and fully equipped with information about the area they are working in”.

“Rotherham has a diverse community with people from many different backgrounds. As well as established communities there are newly (?) communities of people who have settled here. With such a diverse community comes a variety of needs, which must be considered in plans to create housing.”

The council says a recent decision to press for more affordable housing in new housing schemes is an opportunity to take the needs of the minority ethnic communities into consideration.

Or to put it another way, if you are a white indigenous Briton, you don’t count anymore.

Call to link services to vote for migrants

Rotherham MP Denis MacShane says special hotlines in Romani and other languages should be set up to make migrants more aware of the need to be on the register.

The hotlines would also help children being trafficked to escape from gangmasters and pimps who are exploiting them.

Speaking in the House of Commons debate Mr MacShane said the Government should also set up more refuges for sex slave children who want to quit their controllers.
He is also calling for forced marriages to be made a crime and for a tougher stance on deportation.

The MP says the Home Office should provide accurate data on underage prostitution after studies from the Netherlands showed 15 percent of trafficked sex slaves were under the age of 18.
He said “Figures on trafficked girls in Britain are notoriously unreliable. But if we accept the Home Office figure of around 4000 trafficked women at any one time and assume that the Dutch comparison is valid for us, that means an estimated 600 girls who should be at school are working as sex slaves to pleasure British men in exchange for money.”

“There are serious problems with Roma communities all over the UK”

“Concerns have been expressed by my own councillor colleagues in Rotherham and one way to deal with them would be to insist, for example that all European Union citizens should be on the electoral register before having access to any public services.”
“If they want to put their kids in school or draw child benefit, to register with a GP or to have treatment in hospital or to use any public service they should be on the register.”

“I would make that a new British law, combining access to public service with the responsibility of having the vote.” (as long as they vote Labour of course)

This nu liebour fool sickens me and should sicken any decent person with half a brain. He wants hotlines to help immigrants get on the electoral register. Many of these people have been in the country for all of five minutes, can’t speak the language, have no awareness whatsoever of British culture, history or politics and he wants to give them ‘the responsibility of having the vote’. It’s fairly obvious why and who he hopes they’ll vote for and they probably will, in gratitude for Labours largesse in allowing them into the land of milk and honey in the first place. The hotlines would also supposedly help trafficked children escape from gangmasters and pimps who exploit them, (that’s always assuming, as this dimwit apparently does, that the pimps and gangmasters will allow them unsupervised access to a telephone).

Well, this pushes all the right emotional buttons for the kind-hearted British people, but he does of course neglect to mention that if not for his governments past and ongoing indiscriminate open/no borders policy we wouldn’t actually have any trafficked children or any gangmasters and pimps exploiting them in the first place.

As for the rest of it i.e. criminalising forced marriage and taking a tougher stance on deportation etc, I’ll believe it when I see it, Labour have been making these kinds of noises for years as every so often they feel the need to talk tough and con the indigenous Brits that they actually give a damn what we think, but nothing ever actually happens. The truth is of course that they can't take a tougher stance on deportation because the EU and its human rights legislation won't let them and they still want to give even more power to Brussels.

The problem of trafficked women and the people who exploit them is an issue for the police, it’s their job to investigate, find out who these criminals are and arrest them. Then when found guilty they are either jailed or deported. The Government could of course help the police out considerably by being a bit more discerning about who they let into the country in the first place, but I don't suppose there's much chance of that happening.

Linking services to the vote for migrants is a completely bogus issue; unless that is your real agenda is gaining immigrant votes for the Labour party. He says “If they want to put their kids in school or draw child benefit, to register with a GP or to have treatment in hospital or to use any public service they should be on the register.”

I wonder how many of these trafficked women or girls have kids that they want to put through school, I must confess that I know little about these things but it seems probable to me that children would perhaps be, to put it mildly, rather frowned upon by the ‘pimps and gangmasters’ and would be viewed as an unnecessary encumbrance.

Or perhaps he’s talking about the ‘pimps and gangmasters’ themselves. Do we really want these people to have the vote in our country? Do we actually want them in our country at all? I think not.

That aside, I’m assuming that these criminals are not exploiting women as a hobby and do it for the money which I imagine is considerable, in which case they have no need of benefits and as far as doctors and schools go etc they’re going to do what many of the Labour MP’s do and go private which would enable them to stay under the radar, which after all, is how criminals best do business.

Is this is the classic ploy? Create a problem and then when you think the time is right, propose a solution and come out smelling of roses, possibly, or it could be he’s just an opportunistic vote whoring parasite of a career politician who doesn’t give a damn who votes for him as long as he stays on the gravy train.

On the other hand of course, taking the charitable view, it’s possible that he’s just an idiot!

I leave you to decide. But whatever you determine his motives are, this man and his ilk have no place in government.

Going back to Denis’s idea, in fairness, it is indeed a solution of sorts, but not such much to the problems of immigrants or trafficked children, but to Labours falling share of the vote among the indigenous British population whom they have obviously abandoned.

Finally, I’m also left wondering who’s going to pay for all these multilingual hotlines and refuges.

Bet it isn’t Denis.

I’d just like to add that Denis MacShane treasonously voted, along with many of his colleagues, to deny the British People the opportunity to have a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty/Constitution which will give effective control of this country to the unelected commissioners of the EU. This is despite the Labour Party’s election promise that there would be no constitution without a referendum.

This is Denis’s idea of democracy.
