Military Bases for Asylum Seekers: Britain's Endless Loop of Failed Solutions
Why Labour's Plan to Use Military Sites is Just Déjà Vu
Defence Secretary John Healey's announcement to use military sites for asylum seekers is less a new solution and more a repetition of past failures. With asylum hotel costs at £8 million daily and no clear plan to end their use, the government is recycling failed strategies amid political panic rather than evidence-based planning. This move highlights Britain's institutional decay, where basic governmental functions are outsourced to military resources, reflecting a broader collapse in administrative competence.
