I get she's a Daily Heil right-wing shill, but apart from this being a classic from their playbook it does raise a really interesting question about using child poverty as political currency doesn't it?
Having seen kids who go hungry regularly, it seems a bit odd to do the whole "these barges are too luxurious/not punishing enough" routine whilst highlighting one of the biggest sources of shame caused by the government's approach. |  |

Is she really trying to make the link that because 15 migrants are having some Cornflakes it has caused 4.2 million British children to starve? |  | | |

I wonder what her stance is on the two child benefit cap? |  | | |

There was bloke interviewed by the BBC yesterday who declared that because they got 3 meals and a shower they were "living like kings".
It's all smoke and mirrors, rather than address the fact that poor government is the reason for kids not having breakfast they point to the bogeyman caged up in a boat that looks like a floating prison.

The thing to be angry at here is a wealthy country where 4.2m people are experiencing food poverty, not that half a dozen asylum seekers have been given some Rice Crispies. I'd like to say the public aren't dim enough to fall for this obvious smokescreen, but Brexit and 13 years of the Tories suggests otherwise. |  |

It's feck1n incredible that the news story isn't 4.2 million Brits are living in food poverty after over a decade of a Tory government. |  | | |

Not to be out done by 30p Lee in the Tory thicko stakes, up pops the diminutive Patel to grab first place.
Which government has caused/oversees this child poverty ?
Which government is responsible for feeding asylum seekers ?
What next, a Tory minister whinging how some people are managing to see a doctor while there are over seven million on the hospital waiting list ? |  | | |

Is she saying that we don't treat refugees badly enough or we don't treat children well enough? |  |

The obvious solution to child poverty is more barges. |  | | |

I read somewhere that it would be cheaper to charter a cruise liner for a year than pay for the barge. It's not migrants that are costing us millions, it people giving ridiculous contracts to their mates. |  | | |

It’s not just Rice Crispies though, is it? They’re getting Corn Flakes too!!!  |  |

You fool, it's clear the answer is to prevent "illegals" from having breakfast. Just needs a catchy slogan. I propose 'stop the oats'. | | | |

i did read though that the barge was previously used for accomodation for oil workers not some prison barge that some sections of the media/virtue signallers are making it out to be.
I presume there was mass protests to prevent poor oil workers being housed on it? |  |

When I first moved to Ipswich as a penniless graduate to start work for BT in 1999, i had to live in the YMCA on Norwich Rd for a few months til I got enough money together to afford a deposit for a proper place to live.
Let me tell you, I would much rather stay on that barge than Ipswich YMCA! | |

They really are trying to return to the era of Dickens, only being happy if the migrants are fed gruel.
And the 4.2m children in poverty? Stick them in the workhouse, obviously. Can't be any other way to help them out of it. | |

I think, I could be wrong here, that oil workers tend to do things like work on schedules such as three weeks on, one week off, and get paid sooooo much, they can afford Dorset Cereals Glorious Nutty Muesli from Waitrose. |  | | |

poor rightie, ever desperate to peddle his master's words
This thing was designed to house 227 men. It will now more double that figure to 500 - with communal areas being converted to house 6-8 men.
Now my little cap doffer. There was a good reason for it only housing 227 workers. Primarily fire safety. The maximum number that can be safely evacuated were there to be a fire.
But of cousre this is the self proclaimed party of law and order..... except when it comes to protect UK citizens, hence Brexit and it's intent to be rid of such regulations. Grenfell.
And anyone defending UK law is condemned by the righties
"we ain't evin' none of that there safety stuff, it corst our betters money, cor blimeys, if stuff wos good enuff for workers in them Victorian days, it is good enuff for the likes of huss now" /i} | | | |

So? what's your point? We are talking about the standard of the accomodation. It was good enough for oil workers, yet not good enough for illegal migrants? | |

Why would there be protests about well paid oil workers living somewhere they choose to live?
From you post I can only assume one of two things:
1) You want migrants to be paid a good wage
or
2) You want migrants to be able to choose to live somewhere better
The false equivalence you have drawn is that whilst oil workers get both these choices, migrants get neither.
