Asylum seekers told to wear wristbands to receive food

Asylum seekers in Cardiff are being made to wear brightly coloured wristbands in order to receive food, it has emerged.
There are concerns the wristbands make them clearly identifiable and could single them out for abuse.

They have been told they had to wear the bands in order to get meals.
Labour MP for Cardiff Central Jo Stevens has tweeted that she had been given an undertaking that the practice will stop on Monday.

Eric Ngalle told BBC Wales that he spent nearly two months at Lynx House in Cardiff and challenged the need to wear the wrist bands, but was unable to change the policy.

He says he was told it was a Home Office directive, but no asylum seekers believed this explanation.

He added that he felt having to wear the wristbands was 'labelling' and 'stressful'.
Chloe Marong, who works at the Trinity Centre in Cardiff, which provides support for asylum seekers, said that many are unhappy about the wristbands.

If they're unhappy perhaps they should go home. They will not need red identity bands there because they will not have to stand in line to get food because there is no food. Ingrates.

Since they are not citizens it's perfectly appropriate for them to be identified as aliens until they are naturalized or granted resident alien status.

Identity cards with biometrics and RFID tracking chips would be a much better idea though.

Or Perhaps the Welsh could move past the tactics of the Nazis and be a civilised nation.

They don't need a bright red band for that. They could be issued with a card they can carry in their wallets.

Oh look, the bigot can think. So why all the dumb shit above? You should have just said this from the start without all the bigoted nonsense that preceded it.

Plain identity cards are all that are needed, surely. Whoever instigated the armbands (unless the whole story is a beat-up) is a dangerous bigot...

I haven't seen any of them stuffed into ovens yet, so what the fuck are you talking about?

Er, I believe that's what I said. But, that being said, if you're a guest in someone's country and especially if you're a refugee who is being provided with public largess that you haven't paid a fucking dime for, if the people of that host nation want you to be easily identifiable so that a) they can provide you with services; and b) so that other people can't misappropriate the aid intended for you, then the polite thing to do is say "Thank you for caring for me, I'm happy to cooperate fully."

Or they get the fuck out and go back to the shithole they came from.

I'd deport those jackasses who are complaining that they aren't getting free phones and fancy cars or who don't like their residential situations.

Ingratitude and arrogance is what you get when the dependent class comes to expect goodies as a right. Fuck them very much.

I was waiting for you to blow a fuse, which you did. Now, where is that report button...

Or someone who thinks people ought to be thankful for the largess being offered and quit bitching about it. After all, they can just slide the wristband up their arm under their sleeve when they don't need it. Why should Wales be forced to pay for expensive identity cards when what they are trying to do is sort the sheep from the goats and keep NON-refugees from standing in line and getting the free food intended for the refugees.

We make people wear wrist bands at concerts to show they are entitled to be there, so what the FUCK is the big deal?

A retina scan and a cell phone are all we need. Aloha snackbar.

Those lazy, cunning Welshmen could easily fake an armband, and get free food, the marxist little shits. Much better to have a harder-to-fake card...

Asylum seekers need to start worrying when the Welsh start to put them in holiday cottages...

RFID chips in their necks, like we do for dogs. Oops, was that ethnically insensitive of me? My bad!
