This is how Marco Longhi (chair of Turning Point UK) shared the info: 🚨 Pro Asylum Seeker Dudley Council Leader held to account🚨 So today on TalkTV, Conservative led Dudley Council Leader Pro Asylum Seeker Patrick Harley was in full dodge and deflect mode. Note he cuts before the 6 /2500 in 21 yrs
This is where we are now. Just shameful. Pathetic Farage-style bollocks xenophobia from the Leader of Dudley Council even as he admits that just 6 asylum seekers in 21 yrs got 50% off at the leisure centre 🤦🏻 idiots in Dudley kicking off over this, just embarrassing @sutrbirmingham.bsky.social
Leader of Dudley Council, Patrick Harley here, stating clearly that Dudley is only housing 72 asylum seekers and the people in the hotels targeted by protesters are far more likely to be vulnerable homeless placements from other English councils
clips taken from youtube.com/watch?v=ShWc... grim how they talk about this with a background of videos of young immigrant men in dinghies to stoke fear. the only small boats reaching Dudley are narrowboats on the canal 🙄
This is how far-right get people who lack sufficient information / skills / desire to question. The previous management of the "Quality Hotel" in Dudley abandoned it in 2020 with 6 years left in their lease because it was bombing. It's v warm shit temp accom so they have antiheat blinds That's it
I can agree with those hotel reviews. It was a kip back in 2010.
Marco Longhi was a Johnson Brexit Conservative MP who represented Dudley North from 2019 to 2024. In January 2025, he defected to Reform UK. He's a proper rotter, so no surprise to find he's the president of alt-right nationalists Turning Point UK Now he's spreading fear and inciting harmful idiocy
![s/s tweet by Marco Longhi @marcolonghi4dn Delighted to become President of Turning Point U.K. an activist organisation that promotes small gov't, personal responsibility and free markets, while fighting the leftwing and woke ideologies pervading our educational and historical establishments and much of our public sector.
