Asylum Seekers are packing up and moving out this is one of the 50 hotels the government said it would close to migrants to save taxpayers money it pledged to move them to cheaper types of accommodation like the bbby stockhome barge but we found out that’s not what’s happening instead in many places they’re
Simply being taken to other hotels what’s happening right now where where are these men going these guys are moving from this hotel to another hotel um a bit further up north we watched as they left kidderminster in taxis then arrived 70 M away at this hotel in darbishire where
They’ll now be staying what we’ve just witnessed will mean the home office can say another migrant hotel has been closed but as we’ve seen the migrants will still be being housed in a hotel at the taxpayers expense just a different Hotel an hour and a half away from where
They were staying for KH it means losing his college place as it’s too far to travel he had expected to be out of taxpayer funded accommodation by now as he’s been here so long his claim is part of the so-called Legacy backlog the government says it’s dealt with around 2
Years I’m in here I want to work I want to start a new life for us H’s been in the UK even longer the hotel where he was staying closed to migrants last week so he was moved 40 mil away to this hotel in Staffordshire with a group of
Men switching so it doesn’t it doesn’t change anything just wasting money I think so why do you think you’ve been moved I think it’s just for because of the next election so they want to tell the native uh people we we sorted out the hotels children lost School places
When this hotel suddenly closed to migrant and they were moved away the home office says it’s making significant progress to reduce the 8.2 million pound a day hotel bill but the people in the hotels say they just want decisions on their Asylum claims so they can move out
And move on Becky Johnson Sky News

They've been payed to come here 😞
ABOUT TIME THEY ARE TOLD TO MOVE.
LETS NOT FORGET THESE IMMIGRANTS WILL STILL RECEIVE “FREE” HOUSING
More concerning, where are they being moved to. Shame on our government, when there are so many homeless people in desperate need of accommodation.
8 million pound a day🤮🤬🤬
What about our homeless and our women who are forced to work until age 66 and these people are given everything free.how much have they contributed to tax and the NHS. We certainly would not receive a handout if we went to their country. WE ARE THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE WORLD. this is not Great Britain anymore just Britain.
Too bad
pretty bad hotels where housing illegal aliens by the governments orders but our government cant have these hotels house our homeless veterans who really deserve it
Moving up the road to another hotel.
Never use these hotels in the future.
Stop using taxpayers money 😂 not have access to stay go home
So, if I move to another country, they MUST feed, clothe, and house me… who knew.??? HUH.??
F the m. Baiden experience assoo
Lost college place but retains expensive mobile phone😊
Did he lose his deposit on his college course😂
Suella Braverman was quite right in saying we're being invaded. She was only speaking the truth. In years to come there'll be millions of them here and the UK simply wont exist anymore.
Welp
poor people and yet if biden the american president starts another war with iran there will be tens of thousands of migrants trying to get away from a country that no longer excists beause people with power prefer wars that make them very rich.
I'm glad I live in the only English town left in this country, we don't see any of this, it's my special little place
AMERICANS FIRST
Home them with the Elites .
Disgraceful and it should be dealt with or send them back.
This is so wrong, what about people who are losing homes. and Needing housing.
Users all of them
Musical chairs
As a Brit, born n bred, paid into the system most my life and all my ancestors did , I waited 18 years for a place to live, left me homeless for long spells while we watch these being treated like kings is sickening
I wish the US would save money to taxpayers
Please give homes to our homeless first before housing refugees.
"I want to work…..I want to start a business"….i want free health care/education/housing/transportation. I want to push the poor people who live here now out of their neighborhoods and schools and then claim racism so I am immune from your laws.
The benefits of uncontrolled migration, and multiculturalism? Or their claiming of benefits?
Stats from government website:
Unemployment by ethnicity.
Extract:
The overall unemployment rate in 2022 was 4%
3% of white people were unemployed in 2022, compared with 6% of people from all other ethnic groups combined
people from the combined Bangladeshi and Pakistani (9%), Asian ‘other’ (7%) and black (7%) ethnic groups had the highest unemployment rates out of all ethnic groups.
The 1st guys black coat he was wearing costs a lot 9f money!!! How he buy that?!!!
They come from shacks they dont know how to live in those nice hotels
Remember when people said secure borders were racist? How about now?
There is not enough employment for UK citizens , and migrants should not get any priority
They want to move out and move on – to what ?
There all carrying big bags i have never seen luggage on the dinghies they come across the channel with.
aWW BLESS HIM? CHEEKY GETS.
They aren’t going home, but housed throughout the country, jumping the waiting list queue.
There’s that many in my town it’s like being abroad in the town centre and nice to sometimes here an English voice.
It would be cheaper to give each migrant a £100,000. 00 pounds to leave.
They got rid of modern slavery for migrants in the uk so they can make there plan happen
ALL FIGHTING AGE! AT LARGE ! BE PREPARED
