Migrant hotels scandal: Brexit voters fury with Tories over immigration 

It is disgusting. Not one person who arrives illegally should be given the right to stay.

WHY AREN'T THEY DOING THIS FOR OUR OLD VETERANS WHO ARE SLEEPING ON THE STREETS FOR YEARS ??HOW DARE THEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I work in a hotel housing migrants. There are large numbers who have been given leave to remain and can now legally work, yet are still living in the hotel free of charge. Completely unacceptable. The home office are incompetent.

This country getting so full of the wrong people.

This government needs to be put on trial for treason

Reform UK now regardless, I'm utterly sick of the sight and sound of Labour and the Tories.

These people in the boats are not here to work. Wake up.

I’m English and pay taxes through the nose for an NHS which cannot take care of me or my family. WTF

Just because we're lucky enough to have (had) a nice country to live in doesn't make it our responsibility to let everybody enjoy it.

It’s so sickening that I have to work so hard and pay about £200 TAX every week so that these young men get free food and luxury accommodation.

“The situation in Ukraine, Hong Kong….” No no no, there’s a situation in France where someone’s supplying tonnes of little boats and as we’ve seen in some footage life jackets to a load of migrants and no one’s thinking “well who’s bulk buying/selling all these bloody boats? 🤔” There is clearly something else at work here

Just how long are people in UK going to stand for this ?

I SHALL NEVER NEVER VOTE CONSERVATIVE AGAIN - I have just joined Richard Tice in REFORM - I pray he manages to form a GOVERNMENT.

Why doesn't Britain help their own first!?

This is why I won't vote for Labour or Tories. If Nigel Farage decided to stand for prime minister he would get my vote. Hope they are nice and warm in the hotel whilst the rest of the UK have to turn off their heating because of the cost.

I can speak from experience now unfortunately around this whole mess. I had to leave my previous property which I was renting. Last year both myself and my father caught COVID-19 and in the case of my father he was admitted into hospital. He survived and then just before Christmas a couple of weeks later we both caught influenza. He was admitted back into hospital due to his breathing after he wrote his car off when he passed out at the wheel. Thankfully I didn't need to go into the hospital although it came quite close at times. I left my property and at the same time my father had to leave his. I've worked my whole life as a mechanic/technician but due to COVID-19 I have breathing issues and heart problems which are likely to last a long time so I am unable to work at this time. I was homeless and spoke to the council and was told my situation wasn't serious enough for assistance with housing so I had to sleep in my car. Migrants are literally turning up and being provided housing and free meals and it is sickening. They've paid nothing and given nothing to this country and in effect take the place which I think I have earned by working my whole life and trying to give to this country. I honestly just get the sense that this country is lost. There is no reason to have aspirations. I could work my whole life and I'd still only be able to afford to rent a property and be at the mercy of a private landlord. The councils don't care and make no effort and the entire sense of community I used to believe in has been lost in this country. I think the lucky ones got the hell out in the 50s and 60s and went to Australia, New Zealand and Canada. I know they have problems but their standards of living are far better and they keep a sense of country and community. I feel abandoned and disposable and those I trusted have let me down in favour of a foreigner. That hurts.

Our politicians should be paying the bill for these people, not the tax payer ,we didn't ask them to come ?

British folk are living on the streets while foreigners get luxury hotels wtf 🤦🙆

It is hard to say anything other than traitors have lived in number 10 for the last 40 years

We must get this government out, and make sure the next one fix this unacceptable situation, and make sure they don't abuse their power, and serve the people who elected them property.

£7M per day x 365 = £2,555,000 000 (£2.55 Billion) per annum to accommodate illegal immigrants in the UK, paid for by UK tax payers.

We must prosecute the MPs who lied to us and did the opposite to their manifesto promises. They deliberately lied. They should be stripped of their salaries from last ten years and be sentenced to lengthy prison terms as a lesson fir future MPs to not abuse their power.

Kind of explains why as a tourist i cant find a decent hotel to book a room in because theyre all apparently crowded or something

It’s frightening 🇬🇧 I can’t watch this my blood is boiling.

While people who work ,and can't afford to eat or pay bills for heating etc , others are coming in and getting everything free , this government is corrupt and wrong , how this is still going on is beyond me .....

The main problem is that the government are “not” working to the will of the people they serve. It’s sickening that they continue to do what they like when they like and spend OUR tax contributions

As a Malaysian, it looks like whether it is the “liberal” or “conservative” party that runs the government in the West, the everyday European people are on their own in their own nations 🥺 Brexit was supposed to ease the number of immigrants coming into the UK, not expedite it.

Great to see someone like Nigel coming out and speaking the truth I didn’t have much time for Nigel he’s got the tumbs up from me fair play to Nigel he’s got my vote

When is the last time anyone heard about smugglers being ARRESTED?? Where are the authorities tracking these creeps?

Not looking after ya own first is called treason

Feel sorry for all the taxpayers who do not have a say in what their hard earned money is spent on.

What I hate most is that they're coming for hand outs. Not because they love and appreciate our country.

Myself, it's getting harder and harder to hear the excuses from politicians. I cannot help the feeling they are working on a different agenda, which does not have the best interests of UK people at heart. Am I crazy?!

The same damn thing is happening under the Trudeau govt in Canada. It is disgusting.

We shall fight them on the beaches.... said Churchill I believe. We are being invaded.

Im selling my house and leaving britian while my house is still worth something ,i never thought my country would end up like this and getting worse

Three hotels now full in Banbury and I see our MP sliding up the front bench next to Rishi. Formerly Fisheries Minister, now Attorney General yet incapable or disinterested to solving simple constituents issues. Vote Reform. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Not so bloody quick to put the Homeless in Safe, warm Hotels. Nigel, come back!!

Help!... somebody pls help my poor country!... .. not so great Britain 😕

No brexit voter should be voting for Labour or tory ,thus could be the last chance for change

It’s good to know that while I’m sitting in temperatures in my front room, ranging from 9 degrees on a morning, up to about 13 by lunch time and 16 on an evening, with the rest of my house unbearably cold, that all of our money is paying for the illegals, that this government said they would stop. Not to mention money being sent to China and other countries that don’t need it. I don’t know what the British public can do at this stage, but whatever it is count me in. The people in power either hate us or are trying to get rid of us.

Why don’t they open hotels for the homeless on the street as well?!

I've walked through Crewe today near the Railway Station and I was very shocked to see many people who wore clothes I'm not accustomed too, not got a personal problem with this however it was very strange too see and they seemed to have come from one of the hotels.I was frightened as they walked three apart and did not give way to me.They clipped my shoulder, I did not look back,However I felt very uneasy so why would i. I just accept it and keep my head down.

I work in the travel industry and this is killing my business as there is massively reduced hotel availability. The Government taken over these hotels on year long plus contracts (and it's many many hotels).

It’s more than frustrating it’s disgusting and a crime against our people

This is happening in Ireland where there’s a housing crisis. We have homeless families now not just homeless living on the streets. The Irish government has shown more support to Ukraine than to our own Irish ppl and refugees from other countries. It’s scandalous.

Do the hotels need to ask for a “Change of Use” from the local council, because it seems that they are not fulfilling ALL the requirements of a normal Hotel?

It’s nothing more than a complete disgrace the way this totally inept situation has been allowed to escalate into a very serious and dangerous situation and there’s simple no one else to blame that this government and helped along by those who are trying to block getting rid of them. To day I’ve been into Nottingham city centre the place was full of people going to the Christmas Market but also mid afternoon young people sleeping in doors ways in this freezing weather and within walking distance a hotel full of illegal immigrants getting 3 meals a day in a warm building. It’s an outrageous situation

£40 a week spending money? A lot of pensioners wish they had that and 3 meals a day and nice and warm. This country is a bloody joke. Put me in charge and theyd be back home pronto

I believe most of these men are trained in army tactics somewhere in the world that are all here. Something is not right, similar hair cuts, all got good phones and better clothes than most in our country

Not to offend anyone, but if this is a british country, the british come first. Anyone coming over needs to go through the proper means and those who don't should be sent home, stop letting them stay! how many people can we feel bad for because of their current state, a whole countries worth?! The current state of the country is terrible and is partly down to this problem. In regards to the dental and NHS myself and my family have noticed how hard it is to get these appointments to the point i've started going private because i'm in a fortunate position to do so but i'd rather not. I'm not paying my taxes to give a migrant a filling...

Just had a text from my Health Centre; they're cancelling ALL non-routine appointments until end January. So who's filling up the waiting room? We have NO CHANCE of getting seen by a doctor in our own country anytime soon. The situation is wrong on all levels. We are not a safe haven for anyone that fancies it.

Simply house them with in the homes of those who actively promote the replacement populations for the UK. Nothing will gain more clarity is to have all these young men in their homes. Once in their homes & around their families I'm certain clarity will ring true.

The UK is almost a third-world country . Who would want to live in the dump these days. Too much complacency, and our country is following the same path to destruction. Who is running this world???

It’s a disgrace and a slap on the face to all in this country…!! Reform party and fight back…!!!!

The Conservative MP full of excuses send them in Europe many countries. SACK THIS MP.

What will the Tories do? Nothing. What will Labour do? Nothing. Sadly those crossing the Channel in small boats hold power over the UK.

the lady is so right this country is full and it is taking all of our resources the worst time in my lifetime

All that hanging around in large groups of idle men smoking, NOT PULLING THEIR WEIGHT, is like driving through a neighborhood full of litter and broken windows, as if no one acknowledges it's not normal.

How on earth can they get to see dentists and doctors. Paid into NHS for years and can't manage to.

They have entered the UK . ILLEGALLY , but straight to a 4 star hotel , all found ! SCANDALOUS !

I am furious my hard earned money is being used to house these economic migrants. Where I live there’s a waiting list for social housing that’s got 34,000 people on it. And time and again migrants are housed ahead of local people. How is that fair? Well over one million people waiting for houses in England alone. These migrants are treated better than British people, people who have paid tax and national insurance etc. I work 60+ hours a week to afford my private rent. I was refused social housing because they deemed me able to afford to rent private. 3 square meals a day they get. I have one. Once I pay my rent council tax utilities etc I’m left with £200 per month to feed and clothe me. And dentists or doctors well I’ve had to pull 2 teeth out lately because I had an abscess and the nhs dentist said the first appointment they can offer was 6 months away. It’s a crying shame our useless government can’t sort this problem out but then not really surprising. How many is too many ?

Three years waiting for the Home Office’s decision and all the while the taxpayer is paying for them while they’re in limbo. It is absolutely shameful that we pay for the ineptitude of the government. Absolutely sick.

Loads of Hotels here in Stoke it's Crazy

Even if from war zones, these are young men who should be fighting for their country.

we aren't only carrying them we also carrying mps with there expenses paying for thier heating it's appalling

We need to help our own, first and foremost, Period. Charity begins at home and should not venture any further.

VOTE REFORM VOTE REFORM 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 VOTE REFORM VOTE REFORM 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧

So the smugglers send them here. Who are the smugglers? Who do they work for? Let's ask some real questions from real journalists.

The 1951 treaty is totally unfit for purpose in the climate of today. In 1951 it would never, in anyone's wildest imagination, be imagined that a situation would arise where the sheer numbers of immigrants would constitute a threat to the fabric of a country, to it's people, it's public services, it's way of life, it's history and indeed, it's very existence. In my opinion the country would be fully justified in refusing now to comply with all the wholly outdated provisions of the treacty.

They have not entered by small boats they have been brought to our shores by border force after exchanging in the channel with the French.

Why can’t the government give us what we voted for

Please cut the cash allowance to zero now

I was walking upto my town centre the other day and underneath the arches where tents huddled together full of homeless local people. It makes me sick to see our locals freezing and homeless yet thousands of immigrants are flooding over here and getting put up in hotels then probably getting re housed with all the luxurys thrown at them. My god the UK is a joke!

Its unfair for people who work hard all their lives get nothing while people come across the English Chanel get 5star hotels counties need to help three own people out like the homeless people with no jobs before helping people from other counties who are top of the list

This is what is happening to us in Canada because of our useless Liberal Government!

They are the only ones who wont go cold this winter.

I'm glad the presenter asked them why they didn't stay in France. It's a pity he didn't ask more of them.

"How to reverse an 80 seat majority" by The Conservative Party.

There all nice and warm in there hotels free of charge While where freezing are nackers off because we can't afford to put the heating on

They should have to be made to live like us English people when I became homeless. I had to live in a tent for three years no one wanted to pay for a fancy hotel for me

Vote Nigel Farage for PM!

Steven Edgington is one of the best journalists who listens, doesn't interrupt and asks intelligent questions.

This is about the laws of our country If they want to enter our country, enter legally, I'm ashamed of our weak government 💯 Discraseful

If the hotels refused to house them and take the money they would have had to do something , couldnt watch any more of this its making me physically sick

Other countries in Europe are getting tough and turning them away. Enough is enough. We need to grow a pair and do the same. We are in a dire financial crisis and need illegal immigration like a hole in the head. WHAT IS WRONG WITH LOOKING AFTER PEOPLE WHO HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HERE?

Why aren't they out working getting everything free when the British public are working more hours to keep their budgets up to afford their bills disgrace

Tony Blair should pay for this

I can see this situation ending in resentment and finally civil unrest.

Over 2.5 Billion pounds a year "currently" this will increase to support these people whilst some of our own struggle to pay their bills, can't get NH dental care or having to wait months for hospital visits and yet these young men get it all FREE........total insanity.

A DISGRACE!

Soon they will ask us to put them up both governments need to get grip because I would and many others would vote for Nigel if he ran

I am a Brexiteer, and I have joined the Reform party, because I think they are our last and only hope.

Stop free legal aid for none British people

If the Many thousands of illegal Invaders had came to our shores on the one single day as a flotilla what would the authorities have done I wonder ?

They get 24 hour medical and dental care, meanwhile my 88 year old mother lay on her kitchen floor with a broken hip waiting for an ambulance for 12 hours and an 89 year old veteran is taken to hospital on a plank in the back of a van. To say I am angry is an understatement.

Immigration is crushing everything that ever was good about UK. For the richest elite surfing on top of a growing wave of poverty, it’s all about distance, so all self-inflicted problems and destructions is good. The latest lowest bidder of a job not needed to be done by a machine - or at all, such as “security” - have not yet arrived. But surely he is just another killer of development. UK is all ready back to 70ties mentality, aiming for 1880s. It’s insane watching the masses growing into stupidity and accepting being led downwards. Very soon the violence will erupt, gangs of differences clashing, begging the richest elite for help. Insane.

Reform UK... Only party for the people.

I would like just half of the money given to the illegal immigrants. I have the older, lower State Pension and it is NOT near enough for those years I paid into it.

"More than 40,000 people have entered the UK by small boat this year". No, they set off a few hundred meters from the coast of France in small boats, and then the British government sent over British boats to go and bring them over and then transport them to luxury hotels.
