Uk okay to our top story com okay to our top story now, the first group of migrants are housed on the are expected to be housed on the bibby barge the bibby stockholm barge in the coming despite opposition coming days despite opposition from local groups. Barge set to yes, the barge set to accommodate 500 male Asylum Seekers arrived at Portland Harbour last month after being tugged from falmouth. Tugged from falmouth. Joining us now is a note of the barge campaigner, dr. Susan phoenix. Good morning to you, susan. So i know you guys have been battling away peacefully and respectfully now for a long time. So how do you feel that here we are , this is the week, here we are, this is the week, it seems, when the first residents are about to come. How doesit residents are about to come. How does it make you feel as a local . 7. I . I think 7 i think everyone is . I think everyone is still very frustrated about the whole situation because theres no doubt this place is not a safe environment for the barge. It environment for the barge. It just isnt right. So were very , very worried and we do feel its being rushed cart before horse. The infrastructure hasnt horse. The infrastructure hasnt been prepared. The support services havent been prepared. There are no resources. And money is just being thrown around from top to bottom from the government. We feel cheated the government. We feel cheated and we feel sorry for the people coming to stay on the barge. But we also feel very sorry for the local residents and it just has been well, its just been a mess from top to start, from top to top to finish. You know. So when you talk about infrastructure not being there, the resources not being there to cope, what would you like to see in place . In place . Well, wed like ideally , wed well, wed like ideally, wed like to see the whole barge towed away and the port to say, gosh, we did make a mistake. Towed away and the port to say, gosh, we did make a mistake. We gosh, we did make a mistake. We realise we dont have the resources. One problem after another keeps coming now another keeps coming up. We now have problem of the and have the problem of the fire and the fact the arrogance of the fact that the arrogance of the fact that the arrogance of the has come yet the government has come out yet again. Havent taken the again. They havent taken the advice of the local Fire Services and the fire brigade union. Theyve just said, oh, dont worry, itll fine. Now dont worry, itll be fine. Now weve this havent weve heard this before, havent we, many things in our we, in so many things in our country, be and we country, itll be fine and we know it will not. Were worried now, about the guests. Now, not just about the guests. Im calling people, guests on the the barge, but the boat, on the barge, but about our services, our about our Fire Services, our ambulance services. If you look ambulance services. If you look at the structure of that barge, im not expert and you im not an expert and you wouldnt need to be to look, its very, very long. And if you happen be on that back wing, happen to be on that back wing, i idea you would get i have no idea how you would get out a fire and when people out in a fire and when people say, oh, but its been used before workers, its not before by workers, its not relevant because these people are not workers. Theyre not a disciplined. Theyre not a disciplined, coherent bunch because the languages are all going to be different. How are we going to get all of those people off and how are we also going to get the ambulances and the Fire Services onto our island . The thing that keeps getting forgotten is we are one road on, one very narrow road on and off. If you look at the map and off. If you look at the map and you look at a beautiful photo in our pictures of portland this morning, a tiny road, really with bridge road, really with a bridge linking us to the mainland. And linking us to the mainland. And so if we have one accident, the whole place is fouled up. Ambulance arent getting through, engines arent through, fire engines arent getting through. And thats for getting through. And thats for the well as anyone the locals as well as anyone coming that port. Susan the coming into that port. Susan the irony of this campaign is that the anti racist, the the so called anti racist, the refugees welcome crowd, also dont want the barge in portland, do they . They say, quite correctly, that it will overwhelm the local National Health service, 500 military aged men being dumped on a community of 12,000. And yet here we are once again. Its nimbyism. Its no illegals in my nimbyism. Its no illegals in my back yard for them, but they want to dump it on your community. Do you feel like youre just being completely abandoned by Central Government, by all the politicians in the uk. Yes, i mean, were talking about the people power and reclaiming our voices, but we were never given a voice in the first place. Its devious, underhand deaungs its devious, underhand dealings between the home office and Portland Port owners, the reeves and langhams families have treated us like the serfs of mediaeval days. We keep saying that we met the owner of the ceo of the port just recently who refused to even speak or acknowledge a group of six residents just having coffee in the local coffee shop to say, can you help us . Will you have a little meeting . What can we do . And literally did that. And he literally just did that. Goodbye by now, that says it all. So how can anyone care for the residents on the on the island or the barge with that kind of attitude . Plus i think what really annoys all the groups a lot of money is being made right through from the from the start. I made a chart the other day. Im sorry, its not presentable, but it looks at all the Companies Involved right down from sunak and braverman, the home office , the port, the the home office, the port, the families are involved. Then we go down. Theyre going to pay for private for health the people on the barge. We cant see a doctor sometimes up eight weeks here. And then we have the foreign Companies Involved. We have the australians, the americans all being given services. And so when we have absolute waffle coming out of our port owners saying , oh, its our port owners saying, oh, its going to help the resources of the local area, no, its going to deplete. And when we have the local Health Officers saying it wont impinge on your services , wont impinge on your services, we say, but it will because we dont have any services that money could have been put into helping our services first. Its like me inviting you to dinner and forgetting to get the food in and forget to tell you how to get here. Its as simple as that. No planning, no common sense. Has happened to our sense. What has happened to our Government Agency is no common sense. Sense. And in terms of the area in which you live, susan, i mean , which you live, susan, i mean, portland, its a beauty spot , portland, its a beauty spot, isnt it . Its where many cruise liners pull in from around the world. I know theres been local conversation, fear perhaps, that that will impact on businesses and the hotels and the local economy. Economy. Absolutely, because were very close to bournemouth, just along the coast here. And the people from there have already found their tourist industry being impinged upon. And the being impinged upon. And the police are not. Theyre being discouraged. Im going to say discouraged. Im going to say that from reporting any crimes locally. So as it doesnt look as if it might be someone that from outside and all of that kind of stuff, theres a lack of honesty. So it will impinge. And we need to know we have security. And we dont feel we have. We and we dont feel we have enough. Us with enough. Theyve given us with these massive amounts of money to pcsos and some extra security cameras for a summer holiday, input of all of these people. Its just not sufficient. Its really quite frightening. Really quite frightening. And susan, one of the narratives put out by those who were against it on the refugees, welcome side is that this would be some sort of floating prison. Its not that at all. Can you make it clear to gb news viewers that actually the 500 men on board will be free to come ashore and go back as they see fit . Fit . Well, they will up until a point, but that group do have a point, but that group do have a point because they will have to be escorted off the port of portland. So they will be behind portland. So they will be behind locked gates when theyre in there because because the port has such a high security level, actually, the port are getting rather silly. I think they think rather silly. I think they think theyre operating a top Security Military base because theyve sent out letters. They have sent out letters to all their workers recently saying, please dont take photos or they havent said please. Theyve said do not take photos, do not discuss what youre seeing here or there will be other you will be dealt with in a suitable manner. Now this is getting a little bit big brotherish , if not the old brotherish, if not the old fashioned. Russia isnt it . Its really worrying people. Why is really worrying people. Why is all this secrecy going on . Why do they think and how are they going to govern the cruise liners when the cruise liners come in . First people do is take a photo of the port they arrive in. Are they to going put in. So are they to going put these letters on all the cruise liners . Just dont liners . Its just i dont understand why its so farcically inadequate and poor planning. Okay. Dr. Susan phoenix of the just say no to the barge campaign in portland. Thank you campaign in portland. Thank you for joining us this morning on forjoining us this morning on gb news breakfast. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Im really good to actually hear from someone who is there, who is in the local community and can explain the concerns across the board. Its an extraordinary state of affairs when you speak to residents like that who, dont forget, been lambasted as forget, have been lambasted as being even , being racist and fascist, even, and theyre just very, very concerned. Justify viably so about impact on a very small about the impact on a very Small Community of 12,500 men being dumped on them. And isnt it dumped on them. And isnt it ironic, ali, how nobody wants them there . The people who both sides. Yeah, on both sides of the so here we have a the debate. So here we have a solution to problem that solution to a problem that shouldnt be there in the first place. Big questions need to be asked to Central Government on thisi mean, as say, both i mean, as you say, both sides in that debate that sides in that debate say that the isnt for purpose. The barge isnt fit for purpose. What the answer . Do let us what is the answer . Do let us know. In touch. If you know. Do get in touch. If you think you have gb views at think you have it. Gb views at gb news. Made. Com. We love to gb news. Made. Com. We do love to hear you. We now. Fines hear from you. We do now. Fines are triple for employees are set to triple for employees and landlords who knowingly support Illegal Immigrants. Thats under new rules announced by the home office. Yeah , were the biggest shake yeah, were the biggest shake up of Civil Penalties since 2014. The government hopes to target significant pull factors and overhaul britains reputation for being soft. Well, were joined now in the studio by the conservative councillor for epping and thaden in essex, holly whitbread. In essex, holly whitbread. Really good to see you, holly. It always is. So give us a sense of things on the ground here. So this is trying to tackle landlords who rent out their properties and allow for legal migrants to work in this country. Is this something that youre seeing happening on the ground . Ground . I mean, first of all, this is really good news. I mean, its good to see illegal immigration and those who have facilitated illegal immigration being tackled. So i welcome that. This tackled. So i welcome that. This is something you do here and hear about. And actually, when hear about. And actually, when we hear those concerns and the issues were having, particularly we just heard the lady there and i really sympathise with her position. Sympathise with her position. Its important that actually when these people are coming into our country, they go through a proper process and we dont have people taking advantage even advantage and putting even further pressure on our infrastructure. Infrastructure. Yeah, in terms of the detail of this scheme. So penalties are being tripled. So the maximum being tripled. So the maximum fine is now £45,000 for an illegal worker up from 15 grand, £60,000 for repeat breaches for landlords. It could be £1,000 for the first breach. Up to five grand for repeated breaches. So on the face of it, this this is getting tough grace heres a question for you. The biggest landlord of Asylum Seekers in britain is the government serco. What are they going to do . Find themselves . Find themselves . Well, first of all, the idea of this is to put people out of business when theyre doing this. So for the smaller individual deals, whether that be small landlords different be small landlords or different businesses there are businesses and there are numerous different businesses who take advantage who sometimes do take advantage of workers to and be of these workers to and be clear, someones an illegal clear, when someones an illegal immigrant seeking asylum, they shouldnt work shouldnt be able to work anyway. Thats part of the process. But in terms of the government and how theyre deaung government and how theyre dealing with illegal immigration , and while i have , actually, and while i have huge concern for the who huge concern for the lady who just spoke and the issues on the ground, there now moving away from model trying from that hotel model and trying to as quickly as to process people as quickly as possible. And we have seen and although problem is reoccur although the problem is reoccur and weve seen a decrease particularly in people coming over from albania and the processing theyve got, theyre getting on of that backlog, getting on top of that backlog, which is good news. Obviously, theres still a huge way to go. But fact that were seeing but the fact that were seeing that away the hotel, that move away from the hotel, which actually a cost which was actually a higher cost to taxpayer, and ive seen to the taxpayer, and ive seen that my local area, i think that in my local area, i think that in my local area, i think thatis that in my local area, i think that is a positive, positive movement. Movement. I think many people will listen to and think, well, listen to this and think, well, this great. Its going act this is great. Its going to act as deterrent. Its going as a deterrent. Its going to stop wanting to come and stop people wanting to come and work here and live here illegally. Of course, the illegally. But of course, the next is how this next question is how
