In rural Shropshire a quarter of a million buys you a fairly decent new build house. Hence there is some anger from locals, whose kids struggle to get on the housing ladder, that 21 homes on a new estate at Stoke Heath have been bought by Serco to house 83 asylum seekers who will be living there for free while funded on benefits. But to me the real absurdity of the asylum laws is revealed by the 1 family of asylum seekers already on site. That is Muhammad Nadeem, Shamaila and their four kids.
