Asylum seekers unhappy at Stratford- upon- Avon Hotel

I may be wrong, but I think when I read about 'illegal' migrants, '4 star' hotels etc., people imagine them in plush suites, being served three gourmet meals every day in between lounging by the pool, calling room service and using all the amenities which would be available to paying guests on holiday.

This is very far from the situation for asylum seekers (who, by definition, are not illegal). They will be living in overcrowded rooms, stuck there for months if not years, unable to recover from the horrors many of them will have experienced, missing their homes and often families, not allowed to work or settle in any way. They are NOT enjoying a life of luxury, however many stars the hotel has!

They weren't happy in army barracks that normally house service personnel and now they're not happy in hotels.
I think our homeless would love to swap places with them.

This smacks of a Daily Mail reporter on a quiet day wanting to stir up some migrant hatred to me. He probably stopped a couple of people and encouraged them to have a moan.

This is not 'just the Daily Mail' because this issue was highlighted on the BBC early evening news last Monday. This is happening all over the country to thousands of migrants and in hundreds of hotels. Just to add to the problem, some of the locations of these hotels are dreadful, between a retirement complex and a golf course for example, or in the centre of a small historic town. Consequently the locals are deeply unhappy and so are the migrants. And how can houses be found for any of them when we have a severe housing shortage already?

But the point is it was in the mail and the reporter had gone seeking those dissatisfied deliberately lemsip There could have been balanced report that included those so grateful and positive too but they weren't interested in that, were they?.

I can't believe the stupidity of of thinking this is just in the mail! Really?

My asylum seeker friends were delighted to be safe in the UK during the 13 years it took for them to become legal (unable to get a proper home, to work). Living in a one bedroom flat, with 2 children. Moved 3 times, away from schools their children had settled into.

But they were safe.

Don't believe the cr*p you read in the papers.

That's the impression I get as well.

I wonder where they come from?
Maybe they’re more used to luxury hotels hey?

Everybody wants a house but there’s loads on the waiting list for one already.I don’t think asylum seekers are housed until they’re successful with an application?
