O/T Metropole Hotel Blackpool, Full of Refugees

[KerrAvon]

I was in my mid-fifties. We did the pleasure beach and drank a lot, but never simultaneously.

Half of the group were serving soldiers, a couple of them fresh back from Afghanistan, so it was always a 'boisterous' affair. The best bit was the journey home.

No fella you are, the home office has nothing to do With it, I don’t think you ever worked there either.

Worked in the HO for 35 years, asylum was my last job running offices in Portishead and Cardiff. If asylum has nothing to do with the HO, why does Priti Patel keep banging on about it? Things have moved on now, but when I was there we ran contracts with accommodation providers such as Clearsprings who came up with HIMOs, houses and hotels to house asylum seekers. But, of course, that can’t be true because it doesn’t meet your narrative.

It’s lucky that you were passing through at the time of this post, you obviously worked in the accounts department and didn’t know the government have a contract with Serco.

I don’t have a “narrative” but I know what people earn from rent payment, excluding what the migrants receive for food, spending money etc, plus there’s payments to Serco for managing the process as they don’t do it for free do they John?

What's the link of where you got this I information them gm? Even though it turns out it's not what you said at all I still reckon you can't come up with a credible source. I think you just make stuff up as you've gullibly gone down too many rabbit holes. It's sad to see.

Prove me wrong?

That’s why I said “when I was there”. Things have moved on with Serco now but I can promise you that the change was brought about to make things cheaper not more expensive. Serco are paid a fair fee for providing a service but they deal in hundreds of units at a time so benefit from economy of scale. It’s cheaper for the Government to do it that way. I wasn’t in the accounts department, I was much further up the tree and operating at a strategic level and running offices with about 100 staff covering Wales and the SW of England.

You really need to put your sources up, or at least a picture of the envelope you worked this out on.

Did you have your " Kiss me Quick ' hat on Kerr ???
Trying to imagine you in Blackpool, a pink gin in one hand and some candy floss in the other LOL, LOL..

No idea how to sort the Immigration / asylum seekers / refugees problems.
Certainly don't think it's the new laws going through Parliament at present.
Sending people to ' third countries ' to process them will end up more expensive to the Taxpayer than using outsourcing like Clearwaters ( who've made a small fortune over the decades ) Mears or Serco.

No easy answers.

Serco are a car crash and are probably worse than the government, I’m still concerned that you turn up out of the blue spouting rubbish like this. You tell us what you think it costs today to house an eco-migrant in a hotel? Then explain how you reviewed the accounting information and whAt was included in that accounting.

You're the one spouting rubbish GM. I've offered £100 to Rotherham Hospice if you can prove otherwise and you're notably silent.

I'll do what you seem incapable of... provide a point of reference.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...m-seekers.html
"The estimated monthly cost to accommodate each of them [asylum seekers] has also increased by 28 per cent from £437 to £560."

That's £18.41 per day.

Can you explain by your accounting how this is 4x more than the hotels make from regular guests? I.E. GIVE A SINGLE DAMN SOURCE?

How about this for simple maths.

No refugees = Zero cost, zero resources, zero benefits, zero drain on schools, zero drain on NHS

No references or info sources required
