I JUST heard the news that Torfaen Council voted unanimously to accept refugees into the borough asap.
Am I right in assuming then, that there is no-one waiting for a council house, doctors surgeries have ample vacancies, A&E no longer have outrageous waiting times at the Royal Gwent or any other hospital, bus passes issued to all, (well , they have no money, have they?) and ample school places readily available together with assorted translators etc to cope with multi language problems. 
Perhaps the councillors who agreed with this decision would like to go amongst these refugees and collect all their expensive mobile phones as down payment towards the cost.
