❶ “They’re living in luxury hotels at our expense!” Fact: These accommodations typically comprise budget hotels or repurposed facilities. The rooms are basic, frequently cramped, lacking kitchen access, and providing limited privacy. ❷ “They get £40 a day spending money.” Fact: Asylum seekers residing in hotels receive approximately £9.58 per week in cash, equating to about £1.37 daily—insufficient to cover even fundamental necessities. ❸ “They’re taking hotel rooms from paying guests.” Fact: The government specifically contracts hotels that often have available capacity or are unsuitable for typical guests. Most were not fully booked prior to their use. ❹ “They should be working to pay for their stay.” Fact: Asylum seekers are prohibited from working while their claims are being processed—a policy decision rather than a personal choice. ❺ “They’re just waiting around doing nothing.” Fact: The majority of asylum seekers aim to contribute positively. Many engage in volunteering, learning English, or participating in community organisations, despite facing significant uncertainty.
❻ “We’re spending millions on them!” Fact: The high costs associated with hotel use stem from a broken and backlogged asylum system, not from the individuals utilising it. Delays perpetuate a state of limbo, resulting in increased long-term expenses. ❼ “They’re given better treatment than our homeless.” Fact: Asylum seekers are housed in hotels due to the government’s legal obligation to accommodate them. Homelessness is a distinct and also underfunded issue; one should not be used to justify neglect of the other. ❽ “They’re all men of fighting age.” Fact: Asylum hotels also house families, women, and children. The narrative surrounding “fighting-age males” is often intended to incite fear rather than accurately represent the situation. ❾ “They could have stayed in a safe country.” Fact: International law does not mandate claiming asylum in the first safe country encountered. Individuals arrive in the UK for various reasons—language preferences, family connections, historical ties, or safety concerns elsewhere. 𝟏𝟎 “They’re pretending to be refugees to get free stuff.” Fact: The vast majority of asylum seekers are legitimate refugees fleeing war, torture, and persecution. Their claims undergo individual assessments based on stringent criteria. Asylum seekers residing in hotels are not leading luxurious lives—they are enduring hardships while awaiting safety. The core issue lies not with those occupying the hotels, but rather with the prolonged circumstances that have led them there.
10 prevalent misconceptions regarding asylum hotels, clarified and refuted with accurate information for you to share, particularly if you are sick of hearing the same tired and often racially motivated arguments.

Great job 👍😂
Is this from Barbara Cartland👇🤷♂️🤭
"Together, they were a tableau of romance: Willy’s petulant presence, Jase’s adoring gaze, their bodies and minds angled toward one another as though the universe itself conspired to keep them close. It was romance in its purest form. Breathless, saccharine, and..."
Excellent article as always 👌🔥
"So the next time the palace issues a statement about standing with survivors, remember this:
Words are easy. It’s who you invite to lunch that tells the real story."
"The Palace hopes the gesture will close a chapter. Instead, it opens a deeper question about the limits of royal power in a modern democracy. The monarchy cannot claim moral authority while evading legal accountability."
The monarchy, once sold as a bastion of dignity and duty, now resembles nothing so much as a blocked drain. Backed up with decades of unchecked privilege, paedophile friendships, and taxpayer-funded perks."

#AlexisOhanian handled Stephen A. Smith like a pro. That “you haven’t been married before, right?” line was smooth, calm, and lethal. #SerenaWilliams got a man who defends her with class and precision.

Prince Harry’s charity expelled from Chad. Meanwhile, the UK deepens trade ties and sends Sophie for a royal visit. Coincidence? Or colonial choreography?
NEW:
“Africa Is Mine”
unpacked4.wordpress.com/2025/10/08/a...
"We should be outraged. Not just for Harry, but for every community whose trauma is repackaged as royal benevolence. For every charity repurposed as a diplomatic pawn.
For every African nation told, once again, that the Crown knows best." 👌😤
The palace was concerned that Harry and Meghan's likability and charm as members of the royal family would overshadow those of William and Kate, leading to a deliberate effort to damage their reputations.

Just #Meghan living her life; posting what she wants; surrounded by REAL FRIENDS.
They can’t monetize peace, so they call it arrogance. 🇫🇷
It's true tho 💅

Here’s Tom Sykes admitting, in his latest ‘Live’, that William & Clive Alderton (the wasp) want to undermine the reconciliation between Harry & Charles & are the ones briefing & leaking lies to the British press. He calls them the “Harry Foes”.
Some of you may have seen this already, if you haven't, watch, then reshare with those you know, should see it. Have a great day guys!
"This infantilisation of William – casting him as the wounded party, betrayed by a brother who dared to become a full human – is central to the tabloid narrative. It reframes Harry’s departure not as a response to harm, but as a personal slight".
Our only real enemy is the belief that this world is filled with enemies to be conquered rather than filled with neighbors to be loved.

Prince Harry is back in the UK, and he just donated $1.5M of his own money to BBC Children in Need. The funds will target youth violence and knife crime in Nottingham, a city he has supported for years. No palace politics. Just impact.
"Prince Harry’s £1.1 million gift is a scandalous affront to everything the monarchy holds dear: greed, detachment, and the divine right to hoard. If he keeps this up, he may soon be accused of being… decent.
And we simply can’t have that." 😂🤣😀🤭👌
