What money should be spent on is education of people in Defiants position as all he sees is Asylum Seekers getting more than him. Possibly if he was a bit more educated he would have a bit more compassion.
To be honest I dont think Defiant would agree about even people in genuine need......I have told him countless examples of what has happened to people coming to this country and why they have been branded "bogus" and he still refuses to move his stance.

I think you'll find it's more than just an attempt to win votes, especially considering much of their financial plans rely on the savings made.
There are many suitable islands which exist (not quite sure why you said the scottish islands don't).
An island which is unable to sustain farmers etc could still sustain a processing center, even if supplies have to be shipped in each month!
Running a single center would be much cheaper and more effective than the current system of hotels etc.
Rather than assuming things about Defiant, lets ask him.
Defiant, would you moan about what the tories have planned?
Personally, I feel that as a civilised nation we have a duty to assist as many genuine asylum seekers as we can (that means less than would be a burden on our nation's finances etc)
