"Asylum seekers are not particularly likely to go to four or five star hotels. The life of an asylum seeker is not a happy one, but nonetheless, Rylan is repeating that." Why Rylan's This Morning rant about migrant hotels is so troubling
Replies
If Rylan thinks the life of an asylum seeker is so cushy, why doesn't he swap places with one of them? Put his money where his filthy mouth is?

I was amazed at how far he got in TV to be honest. Maybe that’ll wind down now. He’ll be ok; he’s made a fortune anyway.

If the money was on the other side he'd talk accordingly...

Rylan Clark is trying to be a presenter on a magazine programme … he thinks noise and opinion are his job, but he has a duty of care not to spread lies (it’s not fucking misinformation). Lies RYLAN get your facts straight… producers, if he can’t help him or sack him….

Strange mind set as it was the Tories who started placing immigrants into hotels, not Labour. Strange that the flag waving mobs were not protesting outside these hotels when Tories were in Government. 🙄

Whether we like it or not Rylan speaks for the “common man”. What he says is riddled with ignorance and prejudice fed to him via the RW controlled media. We have to stop the disinformation from the source Leveson II asap

Yet that same common man who's saying "he's right you know", is also down the pub saying "I don't want gay pride shoved down my throat from these fucking poofs".

Again, I blame why they are watching and reading. If they were better informed they wouldn’t be so ignorant. I do believe that some beliefs are indoctrinated and like a cult are near impossible to unlearn

The protests are right outside a hotel 30 seconds up the road from me. Friday night, there was family after family walking down the road, waving their flags with excitement. What hope do you have when you're taught from a young age to be ignorant and intolerant. It just goes round and round.

It lacks understanding. To feather the current party in charge as responsible is so empty. Any of the parties in charge would have faced the same issue and been left with a choice of housing or homelessness - this started in 2021 and has been building year over year. It’s not a quick fix.

In the interests of balance, shouldnt the media channel not have interviewed a refugee at the same time to refute these ridiculous claims? Someone who has fled persecution and stayed in one of these places, unable to work & on a pittance & persecuted further by ignorant fucks from dumbass far right.

I bet he has a really expensive top of the range iPhone to try to fill the void in his heart. Phones can be dirty cheap and the only way to contact relatives.

He's in danger of becoming a poster boy for White Gnasherlism, him and that other Essex bloke with too many teeth and a preposterous career as a celebrity, Skinner.

What Rylan said was a variation of the old "look at those people on benefits with their flat screen TVs" nonsense - a lazy and deeply unintelligent trope.

Rylan's rant was a masterclass of "whataboutery". These emotional outbursts make good television but are low on relevant facts. Reform's support is now completely dependent on emotions as opposed to facts.

Someone he trusts, loves and respects needs to sit him down and lay out the evidence of why he's a fucking idiot. He then needs to go on air with a full mea culpa. And not just once.

May be ITV could launch a new reality show where celebrities like Rylan are expected to stay in an asylum hotel and put up with what asylum seekers have to put up with including demonstrators stood outside all the time. Then we could see how long any of them would survive.

It’s always Labour’s fault. It’s Labour’s fault he was ill informed. It’s Labour’s fault the other hosts didn’t challenge. It’s Labour’s fault the producers didn’t prepare the show properly

He could do some good by going on air to tell everyone why he was completely wrong. If he wants to do the right thing.

Given what we know about Rylan, it's certain that he has suffered from ignorance and bigotry in his own life. Watching him indulge in the same way leaves a bad smell.
