£2 billion migrant hotels are here to stay, admits Labour’s new quango

34 comments

1. > The quango has suggested, rather alarmingly, that one way to return expensive hotels to public use would be to house asylum seekers in the 18,000 social and affordable homes the Government has announced it would spend £2 billion to build.

   I’m sure giving migrants a brand-new house is really going to stop the flow of illegal migration

2. Better keep milking the working class (anyone PAYE) to fund this wonderful philanthropy. Who actually wants this? Who is begging for hundreds of thousands of immigrants? It benefits no one outside of the elite.

3. Ahhh sweet. So cut benefits, invite more migrants, give them all brand new, affordable homes and fuck the rest of us. This country is done.

4. Austerity for everyone but migrants. The Labour and Conservative parties have no one to blame but themselves for their dwindling support until they stop allowing Britain’s generosity to be exploited.

5. Why can’t they just use cheaper housing, eg. container homes or mobile homes? I know that’s not luxury but it’s not that bad, some british people DO leave in caravans all year.

6. If Labour were serious, they’d pass a law to auto reject all claims unless taken directly from refugee camps, and override the ECHR on deportations with new law.

7. Open a camp. Round them up in there. When their country is safe. Send them back

8. Asylum seeker or migrant (not clear until after second case appeal) cost £40k+ in 2024 per head.

   5,512 people have crossed the channel already in small boats in 2025.

   Added cost is £220m per year already this year, and that’s purely those arriving on small boats – not those arriving by any other means.

   To put in perspective, the average tax paying Brit contributes £6,000 per year in tax revenue.

   Just know ever single one of these people we let enter our claimant system (not even approved to stay) renders 6-7 British taxpaying workers irrelevant and excluded to the actual tax revenues used for Britain.

   There are 28,000,000 British tax payers, as of last June the case backload for asylum seekers was 224,742 people (like the entire population of Portsmouth or Luton). Or cancels out 1,460,000 in tax payers.

9. Putting migrants before your own citizens, what sort of government is running the country? They should be ashamed of themselves.

10. Remember you’re a Nazi fascist if you think there’s a problem with this

11. How many of them are there? Surely there are a few old cruise ships sat in a dry dock in India or Pakistan that we can have cheap, drag them over here, float them in the North Sea then drag it back when they’re ready to go home.

12. This article does nothing to explain any actual details or issues regarding the matter. If they are illegal immigrants, why is there such a large backlog. Are they all claiming asylum? Are they merely here illegally and waiting to be deported?

    So little information given other than the key parts that induce rage amongst the uninformed.

13. Can we just build dedicated processing places?

    Rather than paying Tory donors to use their failed hotels?

14. Austerity for British people lavish hotels for literally anyone who says they are an immigrant.

15. “cutting benefits and government spending will save £2.5 billion a year” say the government.

    Do you know what else would cut £2 billion a year? This!
    I wouldn’t be so mad if it was something they at least offered to homeless Brits, but no!

16. Give them tents like France and leave the ECHR so we can start refoulment!

17. Labour giving more people reasons to vote Reform in 2029, I really don’t know what the endgame is here, it’s clear as day that mass migration isn’t working

18. Wow, it only took you guys 10 years to realise it’s not a good idea. Imagine the insights you’ll gain in another 10.

19. Place is a joke now, we truly are getting our pants pulled down

20. Don’t forget that £2B are just hotels, in total AFAIR it’s about £5 billions per year.

21. If they give migrants new housing when our own cant get a house I’ll go to bloody war.

22. This madness can’t go on. There will be civil war before long. Mass deportations are needed and we need to leave the ECHR ASAP, freeze benefits for non-citizens and set up an Australian style system of offshore processing.

23. Create actual refugee camps and watch the inflow dry up.

24. Many of us are homeless, house them first.

    The migrants, the bad eggs among them will exploit the system, and the actual needy migrants won’t even get these homes to begin with.

    What I don’t understand is why do they keep these migrants waiting for their papers? If they’re asking for asylum, just hear their case, and hand out the judgement right there. Why do they need to wait for months?

    That way, they can become self-sufficient and those who don’t, are obviously here to exploit our system, and can be sent back.

25. Yeah it’s over I can’t live here anymore. This country is fucked.

26. The notion that we live in a democracy is frankly insulting.

    The UK has voted, time and again, to curtail this nonsense. However, we just seem to get more of it. At what point do we accept that this is actually tyrannical?

27. Why can’t the gov simply turn them away at the border? Afraid of looking racist?

28. Imagine the good this money could do for our citizens.

29. This shit is just going to make us end up with PM Farage

30. we’ve put 3.4 million families into absolute poverty by 2027 for this. This needs to stop. NOW.

    The riots you ordered will be here in 10 working days

31. Process and ship out. Surely, this many people can’t qualify for asylum.

32. Stop the boats, deport illegals, and put these billions towards something that actually benefits the UK and its people.

    Common sense.

33. So they cut disability support to ‘save costs’ but are giving illegal immigrants new houses? How can anyone still support Labour?

34. It’s shit like this that is going to start opening people up to genuine racist views.

    When you’re openly admitting prioritising ‘asylum seekers’ from countries with no war, and aiding them with £2 billion, yet give the giant middle finger to your working class and/or disabled natives and actively CUT from them, how can you scratch your head on why far right is on the rise?

    I mean shit, I’m 22 and I’ve been quite proudly leftist for as long as I’ve been politically aware (so, mid teens in my case). And in most cases I am still very much left wing, but I think I would give the average far leftist a heart attack with how right wing my ideals are becoming on immigration as a whole, illegal or not. And seeing shit like this being said is not helping.

    Dare I even say I’m probably not going to be ‘angry’ if Reform end up winning next election if Labour do not snap out of this.
