But the most important part is: It's all made up. There is no "asylum seeker emergency". Brexit cause legal immigration to surge by 5 million to make up for the lost temporary labour from the EU. Brexit drove immigration and who caused Brexit? Nigel Farage. We need this fact repeated far and wide.

Wish we could all stop referring to these places as 'hotels.' They might once have been, now they're temporary asylum housing. Or any other name you fancy, but they are not hotels. The home office could insist on removing old branding in awarding contracts, and honestly, that'd be helpful.
