Vulnerable families including women fleeing abuse are being illegally “dumped” hundreds of miles away by London councils in a practice “ripping at the social fabric” of deprived towns, a Guardian investigation has found.
Well, as this is the 'Guardian', this will come as no surprise:
Charities described the policy as “inhumane” and accused councils of targeting vulnerable refugees who speak little English and have little ability to understand or challenge the move. If they refuse, they are in effect forced on to the streets.
An Albanian woman who fled a sex trafficking gang in Manchester was unlawfully told to move out of her property in Ealing, west London, to a property 260 miles away in County Durham despite being highly vulnerable and having two young children.
Their concern, as usual, is all for those who don't belong here in the first place! Including those granted expensive real estate living space in the capital city.
But the article did contain an interesting titbit about the competence of local councils:
When she raised concerns to Ealing council, officers provided the details of two sex trafficking support organisations it said were in County Durham – except one was based in Durham, North Carolina in the US, and the other in Durham, Ontario, Canada.
Am I going to hell for laughing at this?

Diversity makes us rich, Durham is poor - therefore sending minorities to Durham is good because it will make Durham as rich as London.
So, let me get this straight; The Guardian are complaining about abused women being moved 100 miles away for their own safety but have no problem with said abused women sharing the shelter that is also housing or being run by a cock in a frock.
It's a funny old world.
The Durham confusion is not unique - and I’m not sure it is always the product of genuine error.
There are US teaching materials in circulation here which make no clear distinction between the scenes of race riots and incidents in the USA and British towns and cities of the same name, leaving many young people convinced that police or militia have fired on unarmed protestors on British soil - in the West Midlands rather than Birmingham, Al., for example - and that black people in the UK were subject to segregation and ‘Jim Crow’ Laws. I have been solemnly informed of the latter by pupils several times - one even insisted that Rosa Parks had been arrested on a London bus.
If you wanted to build a support base of guilt-stricken white youngsters and black ones nursing historic grievance, it’s hard to think of an easier way to do so within the education system without actually breaking any rules.
It's a real insight into the modern left when they run these articles explaining how it's outrageously outrageous to expect someone to live outside of London.
At first, I thought well yes, bad,ripped etc. i mean, the rape gang enquiry came out today, so yes, our girls are ... hang on a monent, this is not even proper Brits.
This is foreigners, illegals, crims etc. I clicked out.
I'd rather live in Durham UK or NC than in bloody awful London, UK (or Ontario, probably)
'Hundreds of miles away'? Isn't the UK like 600 miles max from north to south?
With most places you aren't going to get moved more than 200 miles. I guess that would *technically* be 'hundreds of miles but its a three hour drive - and if you don't have a car the UK is a country with a pretty decent long-range public transport system.
200 miles from London is like 80% of the island.
Shirley there are safe centres for abused women in Albania?
