The faithful cities report said asylum seekers should be allowed to take
paid work to sustain themselves and contribute to society. Otherwise
democracy may be endangered. It said it was "unacceptable" to use
destitution as a "tool of coercion" in the treatment of asylum seekers. They
should be allowed to go for a walk in nature, - not stay idly in the centres
all the time. It said the gap between rich and poor is widening
despite multi-million pound regeneration projects in many urban areas. City
life is harmed in the process. "The experience of the faithful on the
ground is that the poor are the losers in a widening prosperity gulf. Where
is justice? Inequality is getting still harsher. "We live in one of
the most economically unequal countries in Europe and not only has the 'trickle
down' promise of market forces failed to deliver but a draconian asylum
system consigns a small section of the population to unacceptable
destitution. Poverty is still more common as an integral part of city life.
"The report also called on the government to look at the
implementation of a higher "living wage" than the minimum wage, which is
currently £5.05 an hour. It leaves the unskilled worker in poverty. And the
rich can continue living lives in affluence. In some suburbs luxury is
widespread.
The gap between rich and poor deepens. The multicultural
nature of many inner-city areas has given rise to racial intolerance. "Fear
of the stranger" is common, the report said. The report also warned that
racism is growing.
