The government claims to understand the public anger about rising numbers of illegal migrants in hotels . It promises it will now reduce them, and will end their use by 2029. This is too late for its critics.
It is also emerging that instead they might move more illegals and asylum seekers into HMOs, flats and houses that would otherwise be available for UK citizens. Contractors are bidding up rents and offering secure contracts to landlords on good terms with state paid rent to house these people. That is helping create greater scarcity and higher rents for UK home seekers. This is no improvement on hotels, dispersing the large numbers of young men coming by illegal routes into local communities.
The government make much of saying they will clear backlogs of cases. If they do this by granting many of the applicants the right to stay that too imposes a big burden on the state to find the successful applicants homes, benefits and other support until they can find a job.
What the government’s many critics want is an end to small boats and illegal arrivals.Finding new ways to let them in, and different ways to house them is not solving the problem and not responding to the public mood.
September 5, 2025
Good morning.
Dissuade. Detain. Deport.
It cannot be that simpler.
September 5, 2025
The government’s ‘solution’ is more ineffective and unbelievable measures to pretend to address the issue.
This is a continuation of previous governments’ ‘solutions’. The latest one could be ID cards. This would not do anything effective but it would offer more control over existing citizens.
I went away on Friday. When I came back on Wednesday evening the main road was full of Union flags. It looked like Norn Iron during the marching season. It will not prompt government to do anything effective. They will rely on empty words and heavy policing.
The illegals problem did not seem so bad on the Tyneside coast, Northumberland or North Yorkshire Harrogate/Knaresborough). Not so grim up North it seems.
September 5, 2025
“Not so grim up North it seems.” you say.
I’ve just returned from Scarborough, and the beach was full of large migrant African families. Also, go to Blackpool, where there are groups of asylum seekers loitering on the promenade all day, presumably waiting to get back into their B&Bs. Last year, I visited a remote part of the Peak District for a quiet walk. There must have been 300 migrants there who had been bused in on coaches for a day out. This problem is now affecting the whole country. Even the small village where I live now has an influx of migrants as the previous MOD tenants have been evicted and replaced by these people. In their aim to meet the promise to close the hotels, this government is only making things much worse.
September 5, 2025
C,
I hope they have not got to Whitby yet.
Blackpool and Scarborough I know from work conferences. Blackpool was always a bit run down. Scarborough not too bad – old fashioned ice-cream parlour, donkey rides on the beach, etc. The easiest way to Whitby is a train to Scarborough and a bus to Whitby. Direct trains, all the way there, stop at every hole in the hedge and take forever.
September 7, 2025
I didn’t go to Whitby this year, but when I went last year, it was still lovely. Filey, next door to Scarborough, was very nice.
September 5, 2025
@ Peter “The government’s ‘solution’ is more ineffective and unbelievable measures to pretend to address the issue.” – yes, this exactly – just like the last government. They both run open door immigration policies while pretending otherwise.
September 5, 2025
You should have gone to Sunderland!
The flags are everything, the government is terrified, and should be.
September 5, 2025
I did go to Sunderland – a football match at the stadium of light. South Shields to the stadium was not too bad at all. The last time I was in Sunderland town centre it was not a very attractive place. I only got as far as the stadium on this trip.
I had TV access and the BBC were reporting the anniversary of riots in Sunderland. Their particular spin was that Muslim women were not being listened to in post riot discussions. The fact that women don’t get much of a say in Islam anyway seemed to go over their heads.
September 5, 2025
Union flags mostly removed today.
It’s a Liberal Democrat area. They have done this in places like Brighton under the guise of elf and safety.
They don’t mind wasting money painting pedestrian crossings in the town centre in homosexual stripes though.
I will write to Sir Ed Dopey and see what excuses he comes up with.
September 5, 2025
@Mark B – although just having the ‘will’ will make things happen faster.
September 5, 2025
The government doesn’t want to stop the boats, it’s quite happy bringing in undocumented young males even though they pose a threat to society.
The tories were no better when they increased legal immigration to 700,000 per year.
Every town, city and village is being swamped by these incomers and absolutely nothing is being done to stop them
Reform are the only party with a credible solution
September 5, 2025
@ian wragg – we have more than reached the point that to suggest to many in the UK are on the take and profit directly from these activities.
September 5, 2025
GB News report that there are far more migrants already in houses of multiple occupancy than we were told!
Talk Radio this morning were talking about the Fabian Society and how many members of parliament and many other organisations are members. They believe in open borders.
September 5, 2025
The Home Office is staffed mainly by people of foreign extraction the same as the owners of the hotels and HMOs. A thriving business has been built up on the back of this invasion including taxpayer funded charities such as Care4Calais. The majority of the government and opposition are in favour of open borders . Until the pull factors are removed nothing will change
September 5, 2025
My wife obtained a British passport in 2008 and we had to visit the Home office in Croydon for interview twice. Even then it was apparent that the function was staffed by mainly by non-indigenous staff. This would be due to public sector directives on diversity, wage expectations, labour availability in the area that the office was in (I suspect the worker demographic might have been different in Cheshire) and the access to benefits for lower paid Brits who choose not to work.
September 5, 2025
“The Home Office is staffed mainly by people of foreign extraction the same as the owners of the hotels and HMOs.”
This is a massive and terrifying part of the problem. The whole state sector is the same.
September 5, 2025
Perhaps an incoming Reform Government should aim to relocate the Home Office to somewhere a little less “enriched.” Out in the wilds of Exmoor perhaps.
September 5, 2025
Regrettably, the previous government adopted the ill considered policy of housing those entering our country illegally in hotels and HMO’s. It’s a stupid policy and has predictably resulted in public outcry. There is no legal requirement to house these people in such accommodation, indeed it would have helped allay public disquiet if illegal migrants had been detained and placed in secure accommodation preferably military establishments immediately they arrive. Private security could have been utilised to assist military authorities. Furthermore, this would have helped to provide a deterrent to those seeking to come here in the first place. Yet again foolish, weak and liberal minded attitudes dominant political thinking no doubt egged on by officials in the Home Office. Closing hotels and utilising HMO’s is a recipe for disaster.
September 5, 2025
Remember when the last government housed them in old barracks, and the migrants set fire to them and went to court to plead their case for better accommodation, which they won. This is when they switched to using 4-star hotels. Politicians are just dumb, as they cause most of the problems.
September 5, 2025
Seeking a simple, expensive solution when a direct but abrasive solution would have worked if only they had been prepared to weather a short term worthy outcry.
September 5, 2025
Sorry old bean but you’re wrong. The Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 (remind me who was in power then) established a nationwide guarantee to provide accommodation for destitute asylum seekers in the UK, shifting responsibility from local authorities to the Home Office and introducing the “asylum dispersal” system. Under this legislation, destitute asylum seekers were entitled to support, including accommodation, via Section 95 support for the duration of their claim, or temporary Section 98 support while awaiting a Section 95 decision.
September 5, 2025
@Michael Saxton – yes you get to see the merging of a direction. Minded by the Polls in the Media today I can now see all factions of the Uniparty formal merging as their defence against the surge in ‘Reform’. After-all they have all been ‘at it’, the same distaste for the nation and its peoples, the same tax and spend and the same relaxed attitude to the job.
September 5, 2025
The answer to your question is, the Government hasnt got an answer. They just let illegals in, and try to hide the numbers, by using social housing .Therefore, people who have been on the housing list fir years, get shoved to the bottom again. They also slyly contact private landlords, and use taxpayers money get them to rent to them, instead of the growing list of the public that need rental accommodation.
They must think the public are mad, and don’t see what they are up to. I cant imagine how much longer this situation can continue, without there being very serious trouble. If I was younger I would be out on the streets, peacefully, but forcefully, protesting!
September 5, 2025
The Police are told to stop you! If peaceful they will make it aggressive and create an excuse to haul you off and label you far right yob!
September 5, 2025
Your last paragraph is spot on. If you have a burning chip pan in your kitchen, moving it to the lounge doesn’t help.
The vast majority of the public wants the illegal migrants stopped from coming in and deported if they get here. “Asylum seekers” they are not. “Dissuade, detain, deport” as Mark B puts it.
September 5, 2025
@Wanderer – they are criminals hell bent on stealing places from those with a genuine asylum situation that are trying to do it the legal way.
September 5, 2025
The government claims to understand the public anger about rusing number of illegal migrants in hotels
No more than the Tories or lib-dems understand the feeling in the community to the invaders/ illegals coming across in flimsy rubber dinghies, at least the Romans and Vikings had a proper invading vessels to conquer us with but come on rubber dinghies it’s a joke, then you have our PM gleefully saying they are stopping the boats but not the dinghies and then the Labour Party saying they have sent back thousands yer thousands of visa out stayers, what planets are these career politicians on not planet earth that’s for sure, but all political parties of all colours have done nothing to stop this invasion just turned a blind eye hoping the General Public won’t notice it well we have and come the next General Election they will see the frustration and anger the public have at the Tories/labour/lib-dems/Welsh party/greens with a seismic shift to one party that will pulls us from the brink
September 5, 2025
The asylum seekers and the boat people are a clear threat to national security. I cannot think of a better way to get moles and sleeper agents into this country than to have them turn up at our borders – undocumented – to be welcomed with open arms by do-gooders and charities as “refugees” and housed in nice hotels on benefits.
Even Labour has recognised the risks and the strength of feeling among indigenous Brits about this issue and now proposes to house them in industrial warehouses. That will not be a sufficient deterrent. They should be interned in tent cities on uninhabited Scottish islands.
This issue is fuelling support for the dreadful Nigel Farage and his Reform limited company. They are having their conference this weekend. The turncoat Nadine Dorres will be speaking. Expect more populist fireworks.
September 5, 2025
@ Sakara Gold “The asylum seekers and the boat people are a clear threat to national security” – as are the political class who have and do encourage their arrival and stay.
September 7, 2025
Who is that addressed to?
September 5, 2025
Nigel Farage has more patriotism in his little finger than you have in your whole body. He is the only politician trying to save this country. What do you do to help as you sit on your pile of gold, spouting nonsense on this site?

HMOs and or hotels are no answer because they contain no deterent factor.
Coincidentally last night I watched two well known chefs touring Scotland. One visited a still intact ex POW camp that had converted its use to house small entrepreneurial food businesses, proving how accommodating such buildings can be. Cheap and swiftly erected from a concrete base using bricks and pre-rolled corrugated iron. They are what we need today to securely contain illegal arrivals under military control. No roaming the UK permitted. Old airfields, Salisbury Plain, and Bodmin Moor would be the sort of location I have in mind. They could the be vetted, biometrically identified, and swiftly returned to country or origen or adjacent where possible. Such countries could be incentivised with the continuation of normal relations with the UK. With a reverse flow established they would cease paying to come here. No need to set up similar holding facilities in West Falkland. Once the illegal ingress had ceased and the camps had become less populated, round up the estimated 2 million illegals floating free in the UK, such as visa overstayers, and arrange their similar exit, giving extended legal family members the option of staying or leaving. Revue and remove where necessary committments to the ECHR, UN conventions, and our own human rights act, replacing it with a Bill of Rights and Obligations Act. Drastically limit Legal Aid, killing off the UK legal fifth column.
All the above are impossible under the Starmer circus, so await the pending arrival of Nigel. The way things are playing out for Starmer, sooner rather than later I suspect, as this is only one of his gross impositions on the British people.
September 5, 2025
Agricola for Home Secretary.
September 5, 2025
@agricola – former and current facilities used to home ‘Our Men’ have been deemed inhuman and degrading by the ‘taxpayer’ funded lawyers acting for these criminals. I say criminal because in UK Law, what’s left of it, if you steal from others that’s what you are.
September 5, 2025
Having spent time under canvas (as a young soldier) on Salisbury Plain in the Winter AG, I can attest to the fact that it gets bitterly cold there at night – an excellent deterent I would think.
However, when the Luvvies declare that accomodation such as the Bibby Stockhold isn’t ‘fit’ for asylum use, then just think about the howls of outrage if you tried to use tents. Of course these people totally ignore the fact that the BS was previously used as temporary accomodation for oil and contruction workers. I guess these mostly male migrants aren’t as tough as (18 year old) squaddies or hard-hats though…
September 5, 2025
All illegals , detain, deport. Biometrics taken and no entrance ever to the UK in the future. That is all the due process required.
No dependent claims should be entertained. If a non tax funded charity wants to sponsor them they can do so in the other country.
Enforce fines and legal liability on business where illegal working is taking place. Or where a charity is assisting or faclitating illegal migration. Make this a mandatory duty on the police to enforce rather than tweets.
Legal migration is also big problem , stern measures here are required.
It would appear we have been undermined by many in positions of power doing things the citizens never voted for. Indeed like the Brexit Saga it appeared to me as direct defiance of the electorate.
Reply Many agree. The issue for a government Minister is where do you deport to, as they have to be willing to take them. The last government got Albania to take their own and agreed Rwanda to take others, which was then delayed by lawyers and cancelled by Labour.
September 5, 2025
Even if someone is a genuine refugee I don’t believe that their status entitles them to decide which country they want to claim asylum in. Failing to claim asylum in the first safe country reached should be taken as evidence that asylum is not required. Anyone traveling all the way across the EU to the UK is clearly not just seeking safety, if they ever were.
This idea doesn’t preclude the UK from accepting refugees but it puts us back in control, instead of the current system used by Tory and Labour governments in which any criminal who pays another crook to get them to the UK gets to stay here.
September 5, 2025

September 5, 2025
@Pud – unfortunately refuges those fleeing persecution in genuine need, have had their places stolen by the criminals and the criminal gangs that as such the UK Taxpayer is forced to fund by Government that doesn’t have the inclination and the will to stop it.
September 5, 2025
+1. That is what international law on Asylum says. Why does our legally trained Government not ‘stick to the rules’?
September 5, 2025
There is something very odd when phrases like, ‘The government understands the public’s concern about illegal migrants’ The patronising term and similar suggests a complete disconnect between government/elected MPs there to represent the public’s needs and wants and their duty to safeguard the nation..
What is this guff and why does it exist. Why don’t the government simply say we will reduce illegal migration and all migration, in order to return a balance and calm to the nation.?
Since when was the public some sort of remote entity seen by government as something other than them?
September 5, 2025
Because it is dedicated to the elimination of nation states by stealth and deceit. The key is to presss hard to achieve the aim but not so hard as to cause a violent removal of Starmer’s Gang from office.
September 5, 2025
Exactly. That’s the impression I get.
They come across as remote snobs.
I didn’t agree with Angela Raynor’s politics but she DID NOT come across like that
September 5, 2025
They are deliberately importing the criminal migrants. They don’t want a solution which will prevent them coming and will deport them if they do.
September 5, 2025
The government isn’t all that bothered. It gave a collective shrug when the milestone of 1000 arrivals in a day was achieved. Soon there will be up to 100,000 new arrivals annually as the boats get bigger and migrants all over the world change their plans and come to live with us. Brand new housing at scale acquired by government to house them will soon be the norm. The Left simply doesn’t see all this as much of a problem. All John McDonnell, writing earlier this week, had to say was ‘let them work and contribute to society’. It’s saddening to have to live through the destruction of the English way of life.
September 5, 2025
You didn’t mention the 1.2m incomers annually WITHOUT the illegals?
September 5, 2025
What a disaster this country has become. Succesive goverments with no idea or will to end the illegal immigration blighting us. Unable or unwilling to protect our borders. Using the laughingly named Border force and the RNLI as water taxis to bring them in, instead of returning them to France.
Cowards in Westminster too frightened of upsetting the Far-Left/Wokery/Ayslum seekers welcome/do gooders/Hope not hate/fifth columnists/Islamic voters.
When the illegals arrive put them into detention camps. Possibly old barracks, or build some camps from pre-formed timber buildings.
Send them back to their country of origin. If they won’t say where they’ve come from, give them a year to think about it. If they still won’t admit their origin, send them to a third country. Somewhere like Rwanda perhaps.
It won’t take long to end the attraction ….
September 5, 2025
You write “It is also emerging that instead they might move more illegals and asylum seekers into HMOs, flats and houses that would otherwise be available for UK citizens. Contractors are bidding up rents and offering secure contracts to landlords on good terms with state paid rent to house these people. That is helping create greater scarcity and higher rents for UK home seekers. This is no improvement on hotels, dispersing the large numbers of young men coming by illegal routes into local communities.”
With net immigration in the hundreds of thousands (and gross immigration even higher) this case for scarcity can be made about just about everything in our lives.
Immigration on this scale is a plague, we have privatised the profits of increased demand and prices and cheaper easily available labour while socialising the losses of increased costs, benefits payments and unavailability. Very few immigrants are contributors and the presence of the few who do work in the NHS or social care (so potentially contribute in a different way) prevent governments from overhauling the benefits system including disability payments as jobs are being done. If jobs weren’t done, action on benefits would be imperative.
September 5, 2025
The solution is to issue fewer visas for legal immigration, to leave the UN refugee convention so these chancers can’t claim refugee / asylum status) and to deport illegals back to France on arrival.
September 5, 2025
Last week, Evette Cooper announced a fast-track visa programme for people from Gaza to study in the UK. This will include the entitlement to live and work in the UK permanently. No doubt they will also get free tuition fees and student grants. Yet neighbouring countries won’t even let them in because of the terrorist threat. These politicians are so out of touch with ordinary British people.
September 5, 2025
Is it not clear by now that the government has no intention of stopping illegal migrants, most of whom are fighting age men, from entering the country? If they did, they would have taken measures to remove all incentives and help to those illegal migrants to cross the channel . The question that must be answered is why are they complicit in this?
September 5, 2025
Be fair to the government and appreciate their predicament.
On the one hand, they have rows of Labour backbenchers behind them who don’t see irregular migrants as a problem. The Labour backbenchers would like the UK to move to a system where these people have their asylum claim rapidly approved, and a safe route system to welcome many, many more people into this country without the risk of a Channel crossing. The government that holds the same aspiration is sympathetic.
On the other hand however, they see that the UK asylum record is making them look bad in the polls, and they are worried about their re-election prospects. After all, what’s the point of having loony left policies you want to implement, if you’re not in power to impose them?
September 5, 2025
You only look for a solution if you see a problem. For a government strongly made up of Fabian Society members, including the prime minister, immigration isn’t a problem. In a 2019 Fabian publication, David Lammy, now a government Minister, proposed regularising the status of undocumented migrants, and ending indefinite detention and income requirements on migrants. The last point was implemented by Boris Johnson. The effect of implementing the first two would be to increase the numbers of migrants to be housed outside detention centres, i.e. in hotels and HMOs. He apparently didn’t see that as a problem then, and probably doesn’t now. It’s the fact that people are unhappy about mass migration, and are increasingly vocal about it, that to the government is the real problem.
September 5, 2025
Sir John
The contrast and the TwoTier system of justice and privilege.
Enter the UK without papers, a criminal offence. Isn’t that in away what spies and our enemies do? Do that and you get awarded with Taxpayer money, the Taxpayer funded hotels, food, phones, leisure activities. Do that and you steal from those that should get a place through genuine need. Do that and you get to steal, infringe and damage other people’s livelihoods, other people’s freedoms and human rights. As such who are the so-called foreign, as in not democratically and controlled, created ‘human rights’ working for? Other than the gravy train of lawyers.
Recently a Lady was charged for driving on a Motorway at 57mph in a reduced variable 50mph zone enforced by cameras. The fine £400, plus supplementary costs of £121 along with points on her license. Its one of those areas where the speed limit changes in reaction to traffic density, even as you drive through.
Then we have the disparity of defining ‘free speech’ and the personal interpretation of ‘hate speech’. These Laws that have personal interpretations and context is never measured or considered, and no one is physically harmed in the truest sense. People have the ‘right’ to be ‘offended’. In a ‘free country’ people should have the right to cause offence, challenge views, and not to see eye-to-eye. That’s what makes them stronger. I feel insulted every day by something in the Media or some action by Government, does that cause mental stress or make me stronger, or do I shrug my shoulders and think ‘o well’ move on? Instead, we get personal views from those that feel entitled to be loved in every situation, then wanting retribution i.e. they are cloning those that offended them but more so.
As the Governments Lawyers tell us Criminals have more rights than ‘everyone’, that is ‘everyone’ else. To that end the disparity of punishments dished out is de-humanising. The Law, bad ill thought through Laws are the new TwoTier justice system
The UK has lost the meaning of democracy, law and freedoms, I don’t know how others feel but I believe they are our rights our human rights and we want them back. Offshoring our Law, is not how the Law that happens in a free country.
So what will the Government do?. It will keep funding the people traffickers, it will keep the racketeering going, keep the legal gravy train and it will keep passing the costs to the sitting target – the Taxpayer.
All it takes to change things is the ‘will’ The UK Government, its Parliament refuse
September 5, 2025
Each government of the UK has failed to deter legal and illegal immigrants. They formed the view of acceptance on the back of cheap labour that the indigenous population didn’t need to provide, benefits being so good.
Now the liberal and socialist idiots have started a tidal roll of those who risked the dangerous Channel crossing by assigning Border Force and RNLI to provide tourist style ferries to Dover.
Secret methods of renting large buildings to house the teeming thousands of young men seemed a reasonable answer, but now the public find the ‘risks’ of these frustrated hordes unacceptable to their previous safe living areas. Even Local authorities have been buying houses to provide for family or groups on the direction of Government.
There is no deterent until the illegal boat people are turned back mid-channel, and immediate detention of those comfortably housed allow deportation urgently. The Benefits for both legal and illegal immigrants have to be slashed to ensure the unwelcome message is passed out.
September 5, 2025
Every week we hear of many people on the left welcoming the immigrants and saying they should be helped and encouraged, so if granted asylum and allowed to stay these people could offer accommodation in their homes as some did for the Ukrainian refugees. It needs to be understood that all councils just don’t have sufficient housing for the people who need it yet alone for the large increase for the uninvited. Problem solved or would all the fears that the so called right highlight eventually reach the left as they have first hand experience of poor integration, vast sexual misconduct etc.
September 5, 2025
The Labour Party take us for fools
September 5, 2025
The Civil Service are saying they will end the use of hotels for illegal migrants and clear the backlog of asylum cases. This should not be taken as meaning they want to stop illegal immigration or stop massive legal immigration. Remember that the PM before becoming an MP, and some of our judiciary it now transpires, are, or have been, members of the far left Fabian Society whose logo is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The PM is a lawyer and knows how to use words to confuse or even reverse the meaning.
September 5, 2025
The PM does not get it
Like Blair his priority is the European project & he is prepared to sell us out to achieve it

September 5, 2025
Rwanda!
September 5, 2025
The Government doesn’t have a solution as clearly they have a different agenda to the rest of us. They hide behind what they call a Law and a Court that as they are not democratically created, controlled, can’t be amended and repealed by our own legislators, our own Parliament. Can’t be interpreted to suit the needs of the Country, therefore lacks credibility as being legitimate.
If they reflect on those seemingly signed up to the same corrupting system of democracy and freedoms, they will see they have no problem addressing the situation. They have something the UK Government/Parliament appears to be lacking in ‘the will’.
The UK downside also has a lot to do with the PM’s announcement as a Human-Rights lawyer leaving control of foreign laws and courts is not something he will do. He clearly doesn’t believe the UK’s elected legislators, its Parliament should create, amend and repeal Laws in a UK needed context. Or the Cynic in me questions the ethics of maintaining the taxpayer funded gravy train of bodies and pals before Country, People and real Laws.
September 5, 2025
They hoping that these poeple will be able to fight for them when the time comes, all these people have military training of at least 12 months from their own countries.
The russians pay is 50,000 ayear plus, they might want more or just stay in there flat and refuse to go.
September 5, 2025
This is a terrible idea. At least with hotels it only costs (a lot) of money, whereas this harebrained scheme will just stop our own people getting decent housing and push up rents (already increased by almost 50 percent in the last 5 years). As we are de-industrialising there must be hundreds of redundant warehouses which could be used. Just put tents in them like they do in France. We learn fom GBNews the other night that already more illegals are housed in rented places than there are in the hotels. Is this cost included in the daily amount said to be spent on hotels? I’d bet a pound to a pinch of snuff it isn’t. We are in a much bigger hole than the liars and deceivers in Westminster will ever admit.
September 5, 2025
Quite. It’s very easy to end one problem by creating an arguably bigger one and hope nobody notices.
There is a strong risk of ending the illegal immigration by letting applicants apply for asylum and succeed in France so they then become legal – and many people seem to advocate for this without saying the overall number of approved applications would almost certainly rise as the route becomes easier. Voila!
September 5, 2025
When the government says that it will reduce the numbers of migrants in hotels by the time of the next election, it means that it will grant rights to stay as fast as possible to as many as possible. It will also do as the Democrats did in the US and grant the vote. It’s their way of staying power.
The granting of the vote to indoctrinated 16 year olds and pandering to postal voting inner city areas are other ways.
September 5, 2025
Am I wrong in remembering that hotels were used because the High Court/Supreme Court ruled that ex military accommodation was not suitable?
September 5, 2025
The last Conservative Government was decimated at the 2024 GE because it ignored the public over immigration.
This Labour Government is doing exactly the same. We have a weak PM and Home Secretary, with a weak, leftist Civil Service and equally weak MPs. They run away from problems, so they worsen and worsen.
Recent research across the UK and Europe proves that the majority of immigrants actually cost countries money because they take out far more than they put in. It is a disgrace that they are put in Hotels, but even more of a disgrace that they are put in HMOs.
We need a UK “Trump” to put some backbone into the government and put the people of the UK first!
September 5, 2025
It seems Labour will do almost anything to grab the headlines away from Reform’s conference.
I’ve worked in an industry where numerous people were fired for fiddling relatively paltry sums and whilst £40k is not a paltry sum it can be considered fairly small beer in the context of current and expected earnings and a reduction in income can jeopardise a mortgage.
Some people are simply silly.
September 5, 2025
Britain is now a farce just following Month Python with the Ministries of Silly people with zero awareness of how the public despise the hypocrisy on steroids.
Little wonder also why the excellent Nadine Dorries who doesn’t use her humble Liverpool working class background to get on achieving through hard graft and bravely calls out the traitors in Westminster for eating a Victoria sponge cake (compare that with the many Spongers milking their expenses).
Chaos in both Conservatives and Labour.
