50,000 came in over 400 days?
I thought Starmer was smashing the gangs. He wants them in to keep his mates busy, and many MPs are landlords who own HMOs, not forgetting they are shareholders in companies like Serco. I despised Mike Graham when I served him, but a broken clock is right twice a day.
Is this the replacement that Biden spoke about. His words not mine.

People going on holiday to Pontin's seaside chalets in the 1970s were living in basic conditions compared to this lot. I still remember how very basic they were on a holiday as a child. Infact regular British families going on holiday here in the UK this month to such places are probably staying in more basic accommodation than this lot.

Morons R Us
as reported in The Sun a group of villagers mistook a group of camping scouts and their Scottish accents as immigrants and abused them.
This is where this claptrap leads to.
WTF did people think happened in these hotels? That people didn't eat? People are acting like this is some amazing revelation. Laughable.
What Brits really should be doing is demanding the homeless receive the same treatment.
There was plenty of homeless before the migrant problem happened. Plenty of hotels.
And the cure? I'm not too sure but the Gammon hyperventilating would be better off demanding Britain stop helping blow up the world creating the problem in the first place.
And no doubt Pontins and similar star holiday spots are grim but they always were.
# I met Sir Billy Pontin at a Sydney cocktail party for him.
He never invited me to his holiday camps though. Oddly the visiting manager of The Ritz was there as well and he never invited me to The Ritz either.

There are also British people living in substandard housing and in cardboard boxes in the street. Would you like to see "this lot" (they really aren't quite as human as us Brits are they?!) living in conditions inferior to those?

I think that's pretty obvious. They are (I assume the majority) are fleeing dire situations. Looking for a better life. It's only human.
I have no doubt amongst them are criminals or vile people.
But I don't see the reason to harass them. Harass those who have created the situation.
What if the 1 million Brits living in Australia all decided to go back to the UK ! (Perth would be empty)
Surely welfare benefits are generally more generous in Europe. I wonder why they insist on ending up in the UK.
Again Libya is an example. Ruled by a dictator but an extremely generous one. Welfare benefits were perhaps the most generous in the world. Qaddafi really looked after his people.

If they speak a foreign language, it's most likely English. Maybe that's part of the reason. And the UK is nearer the Continent than Ireland.
Some statistics here, e.g. 95% of people who arrived on small boats between 2018 and 2024, applied for asylum (almost a third of asylum applications); UK has fewer asylum applications per capita than EU countries, and ranks 14th among EU countries plus the UK.

But we blew it all up.
I don't know the solution.
So they come to a country that ruined theirs. Makes sense not, when did you bomb Venezuela? I saw an audit video on YouTube, where Venezuelans said they got a plane here and were put in a migrant hotel.

Walking into someone's house is not trespass; squatting in residential addresses is a crime in England, but it depends on the police. Most coppers are corrupt and bent.
Hotels operate under C1, which means it's open to the public. Honey. The police know this.
