While the UK Labour government was busy throwing frustrated protesters in jail, it’s taking taxpayer money to provide and furnish “posh” flats for asylum seekers, while keeping the public in the dark about the cost. The government clearly fears more protests and a possible uprising.
“Watchdog refuses to release ‘sensitive’ costs of furnishing asylum seeker flats,” by George Bunn, GB News, September 7, 2024:
A watchdog has ruled the cost of furnishing flats for asylum seekers cannot be released because the issue is too “sensitive.”
The Home Office had refused to reveal the cost of furnishing a block of flats to be used by 346 asylum seekers in Farnborough, Hampshire.
John Edwards, the Information Commissioner has rejected an appeal to release the information under Freedom of Information (FOI) laws.
Ruling in favour of the Home Office, Edwards said the public interest in revealing the cost to the taxpayer of the furnishing was outweighed by the need to protect the asylum seekers from protests and risks to their “health and safety”…….
John Allan says
I think the taxpayer needs to remind the government, AND the HO employees, just whose money FUNDS them!
And the ‘watchdog’ can be put out to unemployment grass!

More and more the governments are putting the interests of the illegals before the interests of the citizens who are footing the bill, and paying other heavy prices….becoming victims of rape and murder.
These crime-enablers are refusing to say how much tax-payer money is going to house….probably feed, doctor, clothe,,,the illegals because the taxpayers will get upset and that’s unfair to the illegals profiting off the citizens.
In the U.S., they won’t tell Congress the home countries of the illegals/terrorists entering the country because it would be unfair for the public to have a chance at identifying who their murderer/rapist might be before the crime is committed.
If there were ways to cut off the money pipeline, the scum in charge might have to re-think bringing all of the illegals/terrorists into the various nations.
John Smith says
Exactly Somehistory, “they are putting the interests of the illegals before the interests of the citizens who are footing the bill.”
This labour government is acting in the way that many of us predicted they would. Starmer was telling us all how he would smash the gangs, but the truth is he never had any intention of smashing the gangs, it was a blatant lie..Now they want to keep it a secret from us all the money they are lavishing on the illegals.

John, you are right in calling them liars. They lie to get into office and then lie to cover their crimes, while taking money from hardworking citizens and spending it without regard for the toil, sweat and stress expended to earn it.
Hoi Polloi says
The contempt governments feel for citizens continues to show. They refuse to answer FOIAs, to follow the law themselves in nearly any manner now, persecute those who question them, sneer and smirk when directly confronted, and make clear that only legitimate taxpaying, hard working citizens of Western countries will be held to a standard. Those same citizens are continually degraded and told they’re despicable humans failing to meet the standard of the moment. These gov inhabitants are vile.
Westman says
Some “migrants” must be exhausted from chortling fatigue and amusement as they watch UK government steal from the natives to support them – and when the natives complain, they are threatened by their own head of state. Starmer Shock Troops coming soon?
somehistory says
they are getting the message that their ‘god’ and ‘prophet’ are working for them, getting their extortion paid, and killing off the dirty, rotten infidels.
James Lincoln says
So, native Brits pay mandatory taxes – but are NOT allowed to see where their money goes…
somehistory says
OT
Illegals entering cost the taxpayers in so many ways…
“Arrest of illegal immigrant previously convicted of rape in Maryland marks record for ICE”
“Immigration authorities in Baltimore, Maryland, have arrested 153 illegal immigrant sex offenders this fiscal year, a record, with the latest being a Honduran man who was deported from the United States after he was previously convicted of raping a Maryland resident.
The Enforcement and Removal Operations branch under U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said last week that Madai Gamaliel Amaya was taken into custody on Aug. 29 in the suburb of Montgomery Village.”
This one criminal has been deported numerous times and some judge cut his prison sentence he was given for rape.
“”This is a landmark arrest for ERO Baltimore, in that they secured a record 153 noncitizen sex offenders arrested in their area of operations during a single fiscal year, but more importantly, there are 153 victims who need not fear their predators because of ERO officers,” said ERO Executive Associate Director Daniel Bible.”
“victims need not fear their predators”….When they keep coming back, what keeps them from preying on their victims?

You bet the matter is “sensitive” !!
The thermometer of the UK’s tolerance of what is being inflicted on them by unsustainable immigration is going up and up, towards boiling point.
It will inevitably explode eventually, into more serious riots, civil conflict & probably guerilla war.
James Lincoln says
It’s really a form of “taxation without representation”.

Queen Elizabeth (the first) died and left England really wealthy, wonder what she would do today with the invasion of Islam in the nation? England was hers to protect and she did ruthlessly cannot say that about the royals today as well as government.
