Remember, she has brought tents or marquees, marquees, we should call them. The backlog is call them. The backlog is undeniable all and will take time to work through. I think its 137,000 asylum applications. Were actually up to. So the big question is where do we put the people coming here in those boats across the channel now, joining me now is the doctor , susan phoenix. The doctor, susan phoenix. Susan, thank you very much for joining us this evening. Obviously, you are at the very heart of whats going on in portland at the moment. You are a very strong voice in this came in your campaign with no about. Can you tell me what you make of developments today where 30 the 39 migrants that we actually managed to get on the barge have now been removed because of the legionella problem . Legionella problem . Well, what can we say . I dont think anybody is really surprised, dawn. Its just been farcical from start to finish , farcical from start to finish, hasnt it . You could be forgiven to think youre in a faulty towers whomever , for towers episode for whomever, for the whole idea. Weve had bullying, weve had bullying , bullying, weve had bullying, weve had arrogance and the fact that people in positions of power havent been listening to the experts out in the field is no more surprising because its just this arrogance that we have from the top and the fact that they couldnt listen to the fire bngade they couldnt listen to the fire brigade first because they still think theres a risk there. And then they got tested for the water and seemingly theyve known since wednesday and legionella in their water supply. But they what were they doing . Someone saying, oh, i dont was back from his holidays. Its getting ridiculous isnt it . Getting ridiculous isnt it . And when was the first time you were aware that this was happening, that the migrants would be moved off the barge again . Again . Just this morning . And just this morning . And obviously the migrants themselves didnt even know. So, themselves didnt even know. So, again , its all the secrecy and again, its all the secrecy and treating people as though theyre idiots that is really being shown up by this whole case. So no, nobody knew until and im not sure that they themselves knew till this afternoon when they were taken away again. And whats the general feeling down there, susan . Feeling down there, susan . Obviously, you know, the people in your campaign group, you know, speaking sort of like know, are speaking sort of like very about the very passionately about the problems that has caused , problems that it has caused, certainly with facilities down in weymouth and portland. But whats the general feeling in the area about the developments today . Today . Well, they just think its typical of the fact there is no duty of care here. And that has been applied to local population to its just a case of lets get this rushed through. Lets cover everything up. I keep talking about it being like people in cupboards. It cant be right. And why can we not less dont understand. And those people understand. And those people coming off the boats who we do feel looking at them are mostly so economic minded. I mean , ive so economic minded. I mean, ive met refugees and im sure you have. Met refugees and im sure you have. And if theyre all have. And if theyre all refugees, then well, so why are we not just assessing immediately and weve got nice raf bases with a beautiful air force that can fly them wherever as long as there isnt a war zone. And most of them are not from war zones, lets put it like that. Now and integrate everyone else who wants and wants to be here for the right reasons. So do you. Do you do you think that one of the other suggestions weve had recently is the is the marquees as a temporary measure, how temporary would be let to know is a viable solution rather than the barge . Solution rather than the barge . I think so. I think it makes sense because it can be put anywhere nearby where people are coming into the country. I dont understand why were doing this, settling people in and then suddenly saying, well, well assess you cant assess you now or you cant stay. Showing a child stay. Its like showing a child a shiny toy, isnt it . And then youre not getting it anyway because youre going to go. Because youre going to go. There isnt any common sense. Dawn, why is there no common sense . Why is nobody taking responsibility saying , responsibility and saying, actually, screwed up . Maybe actually, i screwed up . Maybe that good decision that wasnt such a good decision we that cabinet we made and that last Cabinet Meeting , there is a lot of that. Meeting, there is a lot of that. And no one in your area has been consulted. Have they . Do you that any migrants you think that that any migrants will ever go back onto that barge . Susan it depends how proud this bunch are that trying to get their money out of it. And lets not forget the bafis and lets not forget the basis of all this. Its money and power and peoples egos. So somebody set this up ages ago, as you say, without consulting action. I think if they were sensible and im not sure anyone is on this case, they would say , look, its not working. Were just patching up and patching up. Lets not put them back on. Lets these people now. Lets assess these people now. And they actually owe it to these people. Drag them of these people. Drag them out of somewhere in here. Somewhere and put them in here. They to come. Most somewhere and put them in here. Ththem. To come. Most somewhere and put them in here. Ththem. They to come. Most somewhere and put them in here. Ththem. They had come. Most somewhere and put them in here. Ththem. They had c i think thats the problem , i think thats the problem, isnt it . Frustrations are running high and that causes to emotions to boil over on both sides. I mean, on the other side, you have had sort of like people implying that, you know, the that your campaign is in some way racist where all youre doing is talking about i its talking about the pressure on the local community. I mean, how do you feel about that, susan . Well, i refuse to use that word now apart from to say we are realistic , ive met such are realistic, ive met such naivety from people and we many of us have Multicultural Families and friends. So its nothing to do with racism , for goodness sake. That racism, for goodness sake. That is naive. I racism, for goodness sake. That is naive. I think we have racism, for goodness sake. That is naive. I think we have to. We is naive. I think we have to. We were all working together initially until somebody decided they have to start saying, oh, no, were calling it virtue, signalling. And really , nobody signalling. And really, nobody wants to bar there. Its just that some people want to give them flowers and brown paper bags and other people just want to guys get on with to help the guys get on with their lives elsewhere. Yeah. Did you feel about that, how did you feel about that, by the way . That small by the way . That that small Group Handing group of people handing out flowers and whatever was in flowers and whatever it was in the bags, maps of the the paper bags, maps of the local i think maps local area, i think hiking maps and wasnt it . And things like that, wasnt it . How feel about how did you feel about that . Thought were rather i thought they were rather patronising. Saying that i thought they were rather patr0|straightforward1g that i thought they were rather patr0|straightforward because quite straightforward because these men , most of them, these these men, most of them, as far as i can see, are speaking english and theyre giving them these very, very well written letters from the government, assuming they can read at top level english. I dont know whos whos interpreting them for them. And i think they had a brown i think if they had a brown paper having been very paper bag, having been in very smart around the country smart hotels around the country with a few pens and papers and flowers as well , i can with a few pens and papers and flowers as well, i can imagine giving them to any of the gentlemen i know, never mind the people on the boat. Must admit i did think it i must admit i did think it was slightly patronising looking at there. Obviously there are no families boat. Are families on that boat. They are mainly aware, you mainly, as were aware, you know, working age young men. Do you where theyve you know where theyve been moved theyve been you know where theyve been moved into theyve been you know where theyve been moved into local theyve been you know where theyve been moved into local hotelsle been you know where theyve been moved into local hotels as een you know where theyve been moved into local hotels as well. Would know . Who would know . Who would know . And anyway, if we were told its probably lies because most of things been for of the things we have been for told or 3 months have told the last 2 or 3 months have been so i no idea. Been lies. So i have no idea. But please let someone have some common these guys common sense and get these guys processed. Theyre not commodities. I hate way commodities. I hate the way theyre being treated actually, because commodities because theyre not commodities and our local and neither are our local community. This lack of duty of care, theres no social conscience. The fact that our conscience. The fact that our port doesnt want to speak to our local people, the people that are making all the money we have, the reeves and langhams families who are in their families who are there in their nice tonight , where we nice houses tonight, where we still people worrying still have people here worrying and wondering what is going to happen and the happen to our community and the people on the barge. So somebody makes some decision soon. And lets get some common sense on the job. Yeah, absolutely. And i think yeah, absolutely. And i think the other issue here, susan , is, the other issue here, susan, is, you know, where you are in portland and obviously on the raf army base is that the tents may or may not be erected on the local community is are not happy about it, but they do tend to be targeted thing. The communities that arent so well off areas where people dont feel confident to maybe have a voice. I mean, for instance, we dont see it moored, you know, in the thames bray in berkshire, where people like gary lineker live. Do we . Exactly. Well we were called low resistance because they did assume that we all just would roll over and i have to say, our local councils did roll over much to our disgust. Theyd rolled over a long while before they told us about, and we would have helped and we could have worked with the councils the people in Areas Councils as the people in areas have managed the councils and the people power have worked together there. But are going together there. But we are going together there. But we are going to more with the other to work more with the other groups. The scampton people, whether field people that we have met at and we see that theyre being bullied in the same way slightly differently. Our big problem is people say, well , why not your our big problem is people say, well, why not your area . We have one road on and one road off. But even so , putting thousands but even so, putting thousands of immigrants into an area more than local population. I mean , than local population. I mean, who thought of that ridiculous. Who thought of that ridiculous. No one. Sensible, obviously. So thats interesting. You are working with other groups around the country who are now going through situation that through the same situation that you unden through the same situation that you under, often with no you were under, often with no consultation from the local council and certainly not from government. Government. Exactly. Exactly. Slowly and surely were getting together because slowly and surely the people are saying, hey , what is happening saying, hey, what is happening in country . So the power of in our country . So the power of the people is working. Were having a protest meeting on having a big protest meeting on sunday. Always have peaceful, sunday. We always have peaceful, quiet meetings and were having one at our port gates on sunday and several people are coming down from other groups to join us. If ever we can us. And then if ever we can afford time and money, afford the time and the money, we join them on we will go and join them on their and we might not their protests. And we might not sit on rishi sunak roof, but it will get to the stage where we need to do something. Absolutely. Susan, just one final quick question for you. I was reading some was just doing reading some of the how people are the background on how people are living in this country and certainly people, the certainly how some people, the poor boy who died living poor little boy who died living in accommodation because in Council Accommodation because the conditions so bad , do the conditions were so bad, do you the impression because you get the impression because you get the impression because you know, the health care in portland is difficult, getting a dentist difficult . Do you get the impression that the migrants on that boat have been actually treated than the local treated better than the local population recently . Yeah, population recently . Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. And that is whats causing the social division because i think whats the word, there will be no impact on your communities. Its a rhetoric. Communities. Its a rhetoric. Its a mantra by the police, the National Health people and whoever else not the fire brigade, because they know there will be an impact and we dont. It takes two months to see a doctor, but these guys are having a private Doctors Service and we know the service. Weve met the people all very good professionals, and they will be there 24 hours a day, 9 to 5. And then on call where someone today told me theyve got an ent specialist booked for january. January. No wonder. January. No wonder. No wonder emotions and anger is running high. Thats dr. Susan phoenix. Susan, thank you very much for joining us again tonight. Very interesting to hear your thoughts. Susan is a campaigner for say no to the barge down in portland. And as i said, its a portland. And as i said, its a very emotions are running very high. There are no migrants currently on the boat. And as you just heard from susan, will any them actually ever go any of them actually ever go back on their. You are watching and listening to gb news. Still to come with my expert panel, what has echr European Court what has the echr European Court of human rights is just in case ever done for us . And should footballers still be taking the knee .
