Now the home office has build up a stock of 16,000 properties to house Asylum Seekers despite chronic shortages across the UK of homes for young people families veterans and the homeless the home office have been offering landlords five year guaranteed full rent deals to take over the management of properties

As they attempt to transfer Asylum Seekers out of hotels that cost 8 million quid a day of course well I can now speak with Russell Quirk property expert on this Russell welcome to the show always a pleasure another incident Russell of Britain’s being at the back of the queue 16,000 properties hoovered

Up by the government at Great cost to the taxpayer once again people wondering who on Earth comes first in this country yes so if you’re one of the 1.2 million people that are on the UK housing waiting list uh you know generally sort of people that are paid

Into the system and that are deserving of that social housing you can be uh very uh you can you can understand the sympathy that people will have for them given that they are being put to the back of the queue as you put it uh whereby Asylum Seekers are being

Prioritize and of course this is not just Asylum Seekers let’s be really honest here Martin this is often those that are coming over on dingis with no ID not women not children 25 year olds from Albania for instance not a water on country by the way um who are then being

Given priority by these idiotic councils and this halfhazard Wayward incompetent government uh over and above the people that are paid into the tax system there’s 16,000 homes by the way this is just the tip of the iceberg Martin so youve got 16,000 homes that have been stockpiled by the home office on a

Rental basis the average rent by the way in the UK is about 1,000 per month so the calculation just for this particular initiative means that we’re still paying half a million pounds per day to rent those 16,000 homes so rishy Sun act’s ridiculous uh ridiculous kind of uh

Prophecy or his decision his policy the Revelation that he was going to uh he was going to appeal to the masses by taking people as Asylum Seekers out of hotels and hosts that then should be lorded as some kind of you know clever initiative that we should give him

Credit for and all he’s done is then take rental houses away from uh people that have paid into the system but but the other thing Martin sorry just quickly is there are councils across the country and I’ve got a huge huge list here just very very very quickly Winchester Preston North norol North

Yorkshire waram Forest Portsmouth basing Stone these local authorities are actually buying homes so new and used homes specifically for the purposes of housing Asylum Seekers so this is taking stock away from firsttime buyers that otherwise would be able to buy those homes and stock away from renters who

Actually have very very little choice right now as it is because there’s a housing shortage this is a disgrace Martin yeah and and Russell um expert um overview there Ciro Clear Springs and Mia the three contracted companies to do this have been paid 4 billion pounds

Russell over 10 years to Hoover up this housing and the counsil as you touched upon there Russell I’m especially fascinated by what I see as a kind of refugees welcome mindset that seems to continually become a work class problem when you look at the communities where the cheap housing is being hoovered up

Top of the list places like Hull Bradford tside what then happens Russell is he he create ghettos you create ghettos where locals can’t afford housing ghettos where Asylum Seekers are dummed nowhere near where where the policy makers live nowhere near Gary liner’s Place nowhere near the politicians driving this through and it

Becomes a workingclass problem dumped on those communi with no say whatsoever yeah no indeed and the home office and indeed these councils they are buying masses of properties in the areas that you and I have just referenced so um you know without any cultural assimilation I think as we

Would call it um just yet dumping these people often not knowing who they are not forgetting that a lot of these so-called asum Seekers are dumping their ID over the side of the dingy into the English Channel um you know and and expecting that that that integration that uh that kind of neighborhood

Dynamic to carry on without any issues we’ve seen what have happened what’s happened in Asylum hosts and Asylum hotels where you know many have been set fire to uh there have been all sorts of trouble in fact there’s a there’s a statistic Martin that in the last three years nearly

2,000 serious incidents of assault Arsen and sexual offenses have occurred within those Asylum hotels and hostals by people that are seeking Asylum that’s just going to be transferred further into our community unities into housing whereby these people going to be living next door to us and opposite us yeah and

Russell there’s a case we’ve been following very closely on GB news on my show and that’s 300 um Asylum Seekers being dumped into luxury apartments in farbor there’s been a huge backlash by the locals but often times Russell these communities they’re not politically motivated they’re not integrated there’s

Very little so social cohesion and so once again it’s foed upon those communities with no say in the matter yeah and you know we all know what the answer here is you know that that’s to either turn back the boats frankly or to repatriate those people that shouldn’t be here particularly you

Know the 45% or so that actually don’t receive Asylum you know they’re not even removed you know so these are the people the Asylum Seekers that have had failed Asylum applications that are still housed at the taxpayers expense you know so you’ve not even got the issue around you know so-called legitimate Asylum

Seekers bearing mind we accept more asum applications than just about any other country in Europe so we’re pretty soft imagine being an economic migrant from Albania a 25y old with his new iPhone 15 and his kind of you know expensive trainers and tracksuit jumping on that boat thinking I’ve absolutely made it in

Life Britain no wonder they’re trolling through all of these European countries to get to us you know not only is Britain going to welcome that person and probably grant them Asylum you’re going to get a free house not just a hotel room but a free house as well as

Benefits education NHS and so on it really is an utter disgrace uh the government could do something about it clearly rishy sunak and the home office the bureaucrats the Civil Service in the home office for some odd reason are deciding not to against the will of the British people Russell Quirk excellent

Brilliant and yet slightly depressing analysis from you thank you very much for speaking out as ever always a pleasure
