They could save a LOT of money by deporting the new arrivals back to 
their home countries (or other "safe" countries). The pressure on the 
water supply would lessen, the enormous expense of housing them in posh 
hotels and giving them all kinds of social benefits would be cut and the 
resentment of native Brits that the new arrivals had it a lot better 
than they do would vanish. But hey, it's more important to be 
"non-racist" so they spend hundreds of millions of pounds to build new 
reservoirs.

What's next? Desalination plants when the reservoirs can't keep up with 
demand?
