Barry House - what happens there?


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know what happens at Barry House, the church building at top of Barry Road. I pass it every morning and there are groups of people and coaches/mini buses waiting to take them somewhere? I've always wondered what they are doing - anyone know?

They are asylum seekers and Barry House is a temporary holding house until the people are re-directed to other parts of the country where their applications are processed. Hence the constant flow of coaches.

Yes. We should send them home to where they came from.


If their country of origin will not accept them we should declare war on that country.


The resulting war will then stimulate our job market.

This is ridiculous - people throwing all sorts of unsubstantiated slurs with no back up


First of all, when police are called to that houe, it's because "locals" have being getting their kicks from teasing the refugees. I used to live right near there and saw it many a time.



As for refugees "coming over here and taking our jobs/or doing fack all but taking our houses" - that debate has been had many times but if you believe that life is THAT simple then it's not worth engaging you in a debate tbh

Haven't we tried that a couple of times of late? Didn't seem to work; the evil and perfidious Capitalist Forces were hellbent on destroying the world banking system, regardless of the best efforts of Our Glorious Leader. Remember: it is / was not His fault!


Sorry, I've digressed.....

Yeah, I've lived pretty close to Barry House for 7yrs and the behaviour of the refugees has always been perfect. People seem to think that just because they often hang around then they must be "up to something", whereas the real reason that they congregate outside is because it is marginally less boring than sitting in a featureless bedsit by yourself (contrary to popular belief, refugees aren't immediately given a Sky HD + package).


Tiger Ranks, you are aware that refugees are not allowed to work as soon as they enter the country, that they have to be processed first?

I'll tell you what totally p*sses me off, the people who are profiting from the misery of these people ( i've seen really expensive cars parked in the drive, outside Barry house & I doubt that they belong to the 'freeloaders' ) & the idiots who whine about their tax money going on these free-loaders. most of my pals are foreign, all of them have degrees & none of them are free loaders. My ex is Colombian, she had a Masters degree in maths ( distinction ), she left a high ranking job in Colombia to travel & see the world, yet, due to a combination of cr*p visa laws & unfair xenophobia, had to work in a well known chain of stores as a manager for under ?10k per year, she actually had 2 jobs, she cleaned at the LSE ( illegally & was paid peanuts for it. ) Compare this to my English pal who earned more cash than her ( she worked in a similar shop ) & was as lazy as fk.


As for 'them' taking our jobs, I challenge u to spend a month cleaning toilets for peanuts.


Ps: at least my ex learnt how to use punctuation.

Do you really think that anyone would leave their home country deliberately so they can live in some hostel and get a couple of rides in a minibus? Shock horror, with tax payers money, blah blah.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
