"I have worked on lots of these hotels ,they cost a lot of money to run plus upgrade if empty . I am more concerned with residents being uprooted into other accomodation when they are their most vunerable. " Yes but asylum seekers being in hotels has absolutely nothing to do with care homes closing. Why mention the two in the same post? | |||

"The point l make is government money is cut to councils who run care homes ,yet millions a day to pay for the hotels . Doesn't seem fair to me ." But one has nothing to do with the other. It’s like saying there was no milk in Tesco but next door has bought a new car. | |||

"The point l make is government money is cut to councils who run care homes ,yet millions a day to pay for the hotels . Doesn't seem fair to me ." £1.8m per asylum seeker to Rwanda, another great idea from this government | |||

From what I've seen, a lot of the asylum spend is sunk, as HMG have signed 10 year contracts. So it now it isn't a choice of one or the other. For me, it's more pertinent this is happening on the eve of tax cuts. Let's work part time says the man with an expensive car on finance and starting to live on beans. | |||

"We all have our own views, l think an old person or someone vulnerable would not want to have to be rehoused, because of cost cutting ,no matter where the money comes from ,the government ,home office whatever." I completely agree, it’s a terrible thing to happen but it has absolutely nothing to do with asylum seekers. | |||

"Councils have had their central funding cut massively by the government, something has to give. It has nothing to do with hotels being given over to asylum seekers, it’s just something racists conflate to make people think it’s the fault of foreigners." Don't start labeling people racist because they would rarther the money spent on asylum was spent on care for the elderly and vulnerable. As you said something has to give.. There isn't a magic money pot. | |||

"Sad indeed ,they cant be helped then , just moved around , which can cause so much stress .maybe open up some empty hotels for them too." Who knows, I suspect that councils will just pay for people to go into privately run care homes, they still have a statutory duty to look after them after all. | |||

The government is making a choice to pay councils less money, that has nothing to do with the foreign aid budget, which is where the money for asylum seekers comes from. There are many things the government chooses to pay for yet for some reason people with a certain agenda always seem to pick on asylum seekers. It’s never things like £1 billion support given to fossil fuel companies, or £465 million spent on Brexit import inspection sites that have never been used, or the HS2 land sold for £100 million loss. It always seems to be asylum seekers, funny that. | |||

"Just leave them in the care homes then , can't be much difference in costs. But l'm also concerned about the community schemes being closed, award winning volunteers having their centres shut down due to cost . I just don't get the maths." The government knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing. Also it’s not rich people who will be affected by the cuts so the Tories don’t give a shit. | |||

Give each of the them a fixed amount and a NI number so they can work and let them stand on there own to feet like everyone else. Close the hotels not the care homes in a nut shell. | |||

But you also forget after Thatcher more people where encouraged to go self employed reducing there Tax and NI payments. And so the gig economy grew and more and more don't have to pay large amounts in Tax and NI. And so the rich get richer and the less well off get less. | |||

You are aware that people have to prove they qualify for asylum don’t you? The government does not have to prove they don’t. The deck is very much stacked against people claiming asylum. If it so stacked against them why do so meany get granted asylum. Some even go on to commit crime but don't get deported they serve there time at tax payers cost. Then get released back in to the community. Baby it time if you get kicked out of an old people home you go and stab someone and get locked in prison at least you will get care a roof an 3 square a day. Because they will be at very real danger of persecution, torture, and death if they are returned to their home country. That’s how it works. To be granted asylum you have to show that to be the case, and that such a high percentage are able to shows how much danger they would be in, in their home countries. Have you considered what it says about you that you are unable to believe that people who successfully get through a very difficult asylum process are genuine?" So explain how you prove you gay so there is now way you could go back to you country as you would be put in prison or killed. So they get looked after. But the old how have created the system that is keeping them safe have to move out of there care home due to lack of funding. Where is the justice for the OLD And vunerable. The burden on this small island is now to much to quick. In my opinion. By All means let them come but and alow them to work but they should get no more then a 18 year old leaving child chare. | |||

"Councils have had their central funding cut massively by the government, something has to give. It has nothing to do with hotels being given over to asylum seekers, it’s just something racists conflate to make people think it’s the fault of foreigners. Don't start labeling people racist because they would rarther the money spent on asylum was spent on care for the elderly and vulnerable. As you said something has to give.. There isn't a magic money pot. The government is making a choice to pay councils less money, that has nothing to do with the foreign aid budget, which is where the money for asylum seekers comes from. There are many things the government chooses to pay for yet for some reason people with a certain agenda always seem to pick on asylum seekers. It’s never things like £1 billion support given to fossil fuel companies, or £465 million spent on Brexit import inspection sites that have never been used, or the HS2 land sold for £100 million loss. It always seems to be asylum seekers, funny that. Because if you want a social security system, it only works if enough people are paying in to it. It totally breaks down if it has to pay for large amounts of people that have never and will never likely contribute. Most are not even geniune asylum seekers. Subsidies encourage investment in the UK. The asylum bill is now predicted to be multiple billions per year. How come more than 3/4 of asylum applications are approved if most aren’t genuine asylum seekers? Incidentally, the amount the government is cutting from council budgets is more than 4 times the amount it costs to house asylum seekers. Partly incompetence and partly because illegitimate asylum claims are very hard to prove. People destroy there documentation and claim there from contries in conflict when really they are economic migrants looking for a better life. At one point almost 20% of total UK asylum claims where from Albania.. a safe country that is on its way to being a EU state. You are aware that people have to prove they qualify for asylum don’t you? The government does not have to prove they don’t. The deck is very much stacked against people claiming asylum. Yet they can afford thousands to board illegal boats, all have top of the range mobiles...in my opinion older UK citizens come before young, healthy migrants, illegal or legal Just at because you are in danger of being persecuted by your own government doesn’t mean you’re poor. Totalitarian governments are notorious for persecuting academics and the educated middle classes." The post is about cost cutting and in my opinion putting migrants in hotels should not be going on at the expense of cutting care homes. Simple as that | |||

"More dodgy landlords subletting making huge sums of money, l'm all for diversity but l'm not seeing that at the moment .Being old and infirm in this country not a good prospect if you don't have an adequate pension. Years ago Italian families all clubbed together to get a young couple on the ladder, can't see a single disabled young mum looking after her mum . The scenarios are endless. Can look at it in so many ways. But neglecting the eldery needy generation for the sake of cost cutting will be forever in the history books ." You forgot to add cutting care for the elderly and increasing the provision for care, increase the burden on the NHS Directly provenshion is better than cure. And then there is bed blocking. Care for the old should be under the NHS sum how call it the OCS OLD CARE SERVICE! | |||

"Keep it to the forum please. Ouch answer the question how do you tax the rich with out them leaving the UK all together??" Sorry we didn’t answer as quickly as you would like, have you considered talking to someone about why you got so annoyed that we didn’t? Frankly we don’t care if rich people (we’re talking the top 4% of earners, so anyone who earns over £100k pa) leave the country, let them go. Is it worth leaving the country over? We doubt it very much. However we need to close all loopholes on money earned in this country being taxed elsewhere. Remove non-dom status, for a start. Then move on to the issue of companies based in Britain paying foreign companies (owned by the same people) for the right to use their own name, so taxable profits are reduced, and similar dodges. Stop bonuses being paid in stock options or into pension pots to avoid tax. These are just a few suggestions, what you have to remember is that companies like Amazon earned £30 billion in the UK in 2022 but paid zero corporation tax. Companies are not going to risk losing those earnings over having to pay tax. The loopholes can be closed but our government chooses not to do it, why is that do you think? | |||

I'm sure the bosses at the country clubs will build their outer walls a bit higher now." Calloway’s election was an aberration, he’ll be gone at the next election. People are placing far more significance on it than it deserves. This publicity serves only the government and Galloway himself. | |||

"He not going anywhere,just going to carry on ,he said so recently, my thoughts are with the eldery being kicked out of their care homes to god knows where. This talk of funding all being seperate doesnt seem right to me . Money is found for all the other stuff, mass policing for marches ,accomodation for asylum seekers , failed Schemes costing millions , it doesn't make sense when eldery who have paid their taxes all these years face worry and uncertainty. If you arrive here then start trouble etc they dont get exported ,due to their human rights ,what a joke. "The government is choosing to prioritise many, many things ahead f old people in care homes, yet you choose to focus on asylum seekers. Have you considered why you do that? | |||

"The constant threats of violence ,mass marches ,blockading tescos getting grief in asda, we werent getting any of this til lmmigration got out of hand . They got to live somewhere, multi occupation homes without proper safety checks , corrupt business. All l see is nasty abuse in the streets . If they brought in National Service would every one join up ?, Burning the Union Jack in the street ,why would any one do that ? Not all young feral youths causing bother are immigrants ,but 400 a day ,the money for them is found ,no problem ." It’s found for lots of things but you focus on immigrants, why do you think that is? Also, you seem to have forgotten about mass riots in 1981, 1991, 1992, 2001, and 2011. We have always had riots and street violence. Again, why do you think you are focusing on asylum seekers, rather than all the other things? | |||

The maths more than add up, pretty much every economist says we need mass immigration in order to improve the economy. Also immigrants contribute, on average, far more to the exchequer than British born people do, and are far less likely to receive benefits, use the NHS, or live in social housing. Yet you choose to focus on them, again why do you focus on immigrants do you think? | |||

Another thread was on on capitalist Mone , you just trying to make out l'm a racist . Which l'm not , l have employed lots of people beforevl retired , asians , troubled female apprentices . Just keep the care homes open then. " I’m not saying you’re racist at all, I’m asking you why you are focusing on immigrants in relation to the government choosing to reduce funding to councils? You chose to conflate the two things when there are many, many other things you could’ve mentioned. I’m just asking you why you think you chose to do that? Also, you don’t think people should be allowed to work in other countries but spend money in their home country? Even when they have paid tax and NI in the country they are working in? | |||

They didn't owe any corporation tax in 2022 because they didn't make any profit in 2022." "Amazon UK Services made a profit of £222 million in 2022 and paid no corporation tax, in fact they were given £7.7 million in tax breaks by the government." Yes. As I said above, they made very large UK investment in fixed assets, earning them a tax break on UK investment. The same tax break that is available to every other company in the UK. | |||

You seem to be labouring under the false impression this is Amazon bashing, it’s not just them, this sort of tax loophole should be closed for all massive corporations like them. What are they going to do, not conduct business here? | |||

We should be praising them for providing exactly what the public want at very competitive prices . Apart from direct employees Amazon use lots of local businnesses such as couriers , hauliers and warehouses . They are subject to exactly the same tax rules as every other company. You seem to resent their success and the services that they provide to ordinary working people. | |||

Your attitude seems to be that they have lots of money, and they can't run away, so let's take it off them. | |||

"The EEA immigrants l have no issue with , worked with lots over the years. As for the Polish worker l mentioned he was a great bloke , just never paid tax n insurance being self employed and not declaring his income ,easy to do at the time. If they are not contributing to the economy l can't see how they are not draining resources ,the queue round the block for a new dentist must be a clue." To be fair you speak of a polish guy self employed not paying tax. As an employed person for my own limited company I do not pay much tax. And so meany are now working like this to reduce there tax burden. Also like to do cash work but told it on hear its just small change by so meny. My personal tax for last year was less then £1000 and CT tax is about £2500 | |||

"The point l make is government money is cut to councils who run care homes ,yet millions a day to pay for the hotels . Doesn't seem fair to me . £1.8m per asylum seeker to Rwanda, another great idea from this government "But that is what the people want!! Get rid of asylum seekers. Asylum seeking is however only going to get worse as the damaging effects of global warming progress. Get used to it! | |||

"Asylum seeking is however only going to get worse as the damaging effects of global warming progress. Get used to it!" I don't disagree with what you're saying, but those claims will be easy to reject, as an asylum claim needs a "well-founded fear of persecution" from the claimant's state. Having your homeland made uninhabitable, whether by war, or climate, or a zombie outbreak, is not a valid reason for an asylum claim. | |||

But the desperate ones will arm themselves and try and enter by force of arms. Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Israel, Jordan, plus central American countries etc. first. They will head north and south. War is almost inevitable. Most people in the north think "I am all right it will just mean better summers" However, those in the areas being affected are thinking "Where do we go when we cannot live here any more? How will I get in?" | |||

"Councils have had their central funding cut massively by the government, something has to give. It has nothing to do with hotels being given over to asylum seekers, it’s just something racists conflate to make people think it’s the fault of foreigners. Don't start labeling people racist because they would rarther the money spent on asylum was spent on care for the elderly and vulnerable. As you said something has to give.. There isn't a magic money pot. The government is making a choice to pay councils less money, that has nothing to do with the foreign aid budget, which is where the money for asylum seekers comes from. There are many things the government chooses to pay for yet for some reason people with a certain agenda always seem to pick on asylum seekers. It’s never things like £1 billion support given to fossil fuel companies, or £465 million spent on Brexit import inspection sites that have never been used, or the HS2 land sold for £100 million loss. It always seems to be asylum seekers, funny that. Because if you want a social security system, it only works if enough people are paying in to it. It totally breaks down if it has to pay for large amounts of people that have never and will never likely contribute. Most are not even geniune asylum seekers. Subsidies encourage investment in the UK. The asylum bill is now predicted to be multiple billions per year. How come more than 3/4 of asylum applications are approved if most aren’t genuine asylum seekers? Incidentally, the amount the government is cutting from council budgets is more than 4 times the amount it costs to house asylum seekers. Partly incompetence and partly because illegitimate asylum claims are very hard to prove. People destroy there documentation and claim there from contries in conflict when really they are economic migrants looking for a better life. At one point almost 20% of total UK asylum claims where from Albania.. a safe country that is on its way to being a EU state. You are aware that people have to prove they qualify for asylum don’t you? The government does not have to prove they don’t. The deck is very much stacked against people claiming asylum. If it so stacked against them why do so meany get granted asylum. Some even go on to commit crime but don't get deported they serve there time at tax payers cost. Then get released back in to the community. Baby it time if you get kicked out of an old people home you go and stab someone and get locked in prison at least you will get care a roof an 3 square a day. Because they will be at very real danger of persecution, torture, and death if they are returned to their home country. That’s how it works. To be granted asylum you have to show that to be the case, and that such a high percentage are able to shows how much danger they would be in, in their home countries. Have you considered what it says about you that you are unable to believe that people who successfully get through a very difficult asylum process are genuine? So explain how you prove you gay so there is now way you could go back to you country as you would be put in prison or killed. So they get looked after. But the old how have created the system that is keeping them safe have to move out of there care home due to lack of funding. Where is the justice for the OLD And vunerable. The burden on this small island is now to much to quick. In my opinion. By All means let them come but and alow them to work but they should get no more then a 18 year old leaving child chare. " It's not easy to prove being LGBT leading to granting of asylum. The whole process isn't easy for any asylum seeker. Thankfully, the vast majority of asylum seekers manage to prove and are granted asylum seeker status. There's a high success rate, for those appealing rejection 'Between 2004 to 2021, around three-quarters of applicants refused asylum at initial decision lodged an appeal and almost one third of those appeals were allowed.', for example. We have a duty of care, where needed, for all people in our country. That things are so bad, after 14 years of this lot, just highlights their inhumanity and incompetence, amongst other sickening traits.
