Along comes Keith - that confirms it.
How about actually addressing what has been pointed out?
""It was a letting company that had always used the same colour paint."
....who has blocked tenants from repainting the doors after they had been targeted
"They were asked to house some asylum seekers "
They were paid by the Government to house asylum seekers - in this mattter, they are a government agency
"Wristbands are a very common way of identifying which people are entitled to which perks."
Wristbands have now been judged to be discriminatory and have been abandoned - it is not normal practice to make immigrants of any sort to identify themselves - the Nazis forced Jews to wear yellow stars and courts electronically tag criminals.
Asylum is not a "perk" it is a humane gersture offered by civilised countries
It has nothing to do with the distribution of food - from the Guardian
"Asylum seekers in Cardiff are being issued with brightly coloured wristbands that they must wear at all times, in a move which echoes the "red door" controversy in Middlesbrough and has resulted in their harassment and abuse by members of the public."
"It is extreme paranoia to imagine a government conspiracy in any of this."
Yeah - sure it is - we have imagined that Cameron has just described alylum seekers as a "swarm" (insects, maybe)
It is not beyond the realms of possibility that these have been pilot schemes for future identification of all asylum seekers, and, if them, why not all immigrants?
As far as the sewer press are concerned, they would be pushing on an open door - in the past our democratic press have described asylum seekers as "cockroaches", "hordes", "cadgers", "potential terrorists", "freeloaders".
Ir would certainly make the Security Services jobs a lot easier.
So - lets hear it for the red front doors and identification armands again; one - two - three......!
