Home Office promises ‘big surge’ in asylum hotel closures in new year
Jump to: Newest in thread
The Home Office has promised a “big surge” in asylum hotel closures in the new year, with five more to shut in the coming months, as ministers face mounting pressure over the government’s disasterous record on immigration
400 hotels were housing asylum seekers in 2023, and recently reported the taxpayer bill has fallen from £3bn to £2.1bn; the government failing to admit the housing contracts have been expanded to serco, Mears group and Clearsprings, obviously these people have to live somewhere if you close hotels you need houses.
Five asylum hotels closing out of an estimated 200 is that really a surge ?

Why do you need houses if hotels stopped..What's wrong with caravans / tent large sights on remote land..
Surely that's still more satisfactory than facing the Taliban etc...
I feel Reform will walk the next Gen.Election ( big favourites at bookies)so changes ahead..
How much Profit have Brittania Hotels made to date from the Home Office( taxpayers) |

It's smoke and mirrors. Just means they will be housed in alternative accommodation, mostly re-purposed military barracks and student halls of residence. After refurbishment costs, the bill to the taxpayer will be the same if not higher. |

Even the housing associations that look after these for asylum and homeless add £70-100 a week to the licence fee for their ‘services’. More hidden costs. |

I'm sure you'd much rather just say your piece about how it's fine to make refugees live in a field because it's not as bad as how they were treated by people who commit literal crimes against humanity, and have it remain unchallenged. |

Actions speak louder than words and I'm not convinced that the individuals won't simply be moved to HMOs but we'll see... keep failing and taking the piss however and there could be a GE a lot sooner than you think |

Where they going to be housed then?
And dream on, there's no mechanism for an early election, unless the backbenchers vote down the budget |

That's the governments problem...I was under the impression they were ready to hit the ground running blah blah blah?
So if the backbenchers vote down the budget there IS a mechanism |

That's what those hotels are. They are hotels no longer viable and the owners are making more money leading them to the home office.
It isn't the same as it was 100 years ago when you used to visit with granny |

Where are the camps going to be that Farage plans to build?
There's currently only partial bits of information being provided by all of those involved with this, including the government, who've only released data totalling 5 hotels and scant data really
I think we deserve far better from all of them, otherwise we're almost pieces being played in a game, albeit not as disrespectfully as the disadvantaged, harmed and unfortunate refugees. |
