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.
