The relocation of asylum seekers in the middle of the sea by the British government was sold by the Sunak administration as an achievement. But just days after some migrants were put there, a bacteria in the drinking water endangered the health of the migrants on board.
Asked by SkyNews if the migrants will have to return to the middle of the sea again, the British Secretary of Health has been very cynical, stating that they should definitely return.
Although the water supplying the complex was found to contain a dangerous bacteria called Legionella, which led to 39 asylum seekers being moved from the "floating prison" a few days after being placed there, Steve Barclay thinks they should be returned.
" Yes, yes, because it costs about 6 million pounds a day for hotels to keep them in hotels. It is important that we maintain security standards but also reflect the pressure on the position of the British taxpayer in terms of that £6 million," Barclay replied, when asked about the possible return of asylum seekers to the Bibby Stockholm ship.
His blunt and inhuman response comes at a time of upheaval on the island over the discovery of Legionella in drinking water.
Legionella bacteria can cause lung infections, pneumonia and fever. Their lung infection can be potentially fatal and is known as Legionnaires' disease.
So, the asylum seekers left the ship turned shelter on Friday, but it later emerged that they stayed there for four days after the bacteria was discovered in the water.
Fortunately, none of the migrants have shown symptoms of the disease, according to the Home Office, but the measures taken by the British government to ensure their health have been heavily criticized.
