Private companies incentivised to put asylum seekers in hotels rather than bedsits as they could earn EIGHT TIMES as much profit, says @paulkohlersw19.bsky.social Hotel owners and private companies benefiting despite allegations of terrible conditions www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Most of my experiences travelling outside cities in the UK involve not seeing another brown face, so I guess we're quits, Jenrick (and I have just come back from Carlisle where I saw more St George's cross and Union Jack flags than brown people)

Great one #Banksy www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Yes, it's also groundhog day to wheel in a shameless brown Muslim Home Sec to head up these operations for the optics

I find the apolitical obsession with class evident in the popularity of Downtown Abbey irritating AF, but even I am going to tug my forelock here

When I was 18 I remember thinking a fairly average looking guy was much more attractive because he was reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance in the staff tea room (I never spoke to him obviously - just admired him from afar and bought a copy to take to uni with me!)
