Let’s open our homes up to asylum seekers | Letters

Many people would be willing to accommodate them, as they did with Ukrainians, writes Brenda Hall, plus a letter from Roger van Schaick

By housing asylum seekers in groups, the government makes them easy targets for the Farage-fuelled thugs (Editorial, 20 August). When Ukrainian refugees were brought to the UK, they were housed with host families and thus had a chance to lead something like a normal life here. Why not do the same with asylum seekers?

Not all of us are xenophobes, and many people with rooms available would be willing to accommodate a vulnerable person or family while their applications are processed. This would give them a chance to acclimatise to their new environment and allow them to be treated with dignity and compassion.
