Labour and Tory Governments have swamped  Britain with mass immigration since 1997. The rapid population growth is unsustainable.  No thought was given at the start as to how great numbers of additional people could be looked after. 

Nobody thought about housing, schools, healthcare provision infrastructure, how would it all work, how all these different cultures would be assimilated and actually……… nobody cared.

We have nowhere for these migrants to live, it seems accommodation offered to them is not up to their expectations and the Government is bending over backwards to appease them for fear of being called racist. Many are housed in better conditions than a lot of UK citizens….. that is not right. 

Every day £11.4 million + of taxpayers’ money is being used to house migrants in Hotels up and down the UK. Weddings Birthday celebrations corporate meetings are all being cancelled as the Hotel is under contract to the Government to house migrants. Hotels accommodating 400 migrants are in communities of just 1,400. 

This reckless and desperate action by the Government has changed peoples‘ lives forever. This is wrong!

People who have rented the same property for years are being forced out of their homes by greedy landlords. Landlords are being bribed with excessive rental income offers to house migrants, tenants are being priced out of the rental market.

Local Authorities are receiving money to build accommodation specifically for migrants. Why? In 2022 there were one million two hundred and six thousand and thirty-six households on social housing waiting lists in England. Who cares about them?  Nobody!

There is a skill shortage here and Government say we need immigration to fill vacancies. These skill shortages should immediately initiate increases in the related educational and training programme. Recently five trades were added to the skills shortage list. Making it easier for migrants to apply for work visas to fill job vacancies  bricklayers, roofers, carpenters and plasterers added to the list.

A recruitment drive and a suitable training programme offered to secondary school pupils could solve this problem. University is not for everyone. With the retirement age going up and up……. many skilled tradesmen would welcome the opportunity to train up the next generation.

Life is changing for many in the UK the Brits are becoming the minority in their own country.  People do not feel safe and relaxed here any longer and of course,  nobody cares!
