Life of Luxury Inside Migrant Hotels
Shocking new footage reveals the life of luxury which hundreds of migrants are enjoying in an asylum hotel, which ordinary Brits could only dream of in an all-inclusive holiday. Material obtained by Talk exposes the extraordinary levels of comfort asylum seekers enjoyed at Copthorne Hotel in West Sussex earlier this year – which will further enrage hardworking taxpayers. Unprecedented access reveals PlayStation 5s, Apple Mac computers, free WiFi and designer clothes in hotel rooms with four-poster beds; to cigarettes, alcohol and weed being smoked in rooms which are then left for staff to tidy; to heating being blasted out 24/7, so intensely it has warped the doorframes.
Astonishing footage taken by hotel contractor Aston Knight gives unparalleled access to life inside a migrant hotel after he worked and lived on-site for 3 months. Eye-opening videos show piles of rubbish left in corridors for cleaners to collect, taxis booked to ferry children to school each morning, and greedy residents piling their plates high – including one migrant taking 10 eggs for breakfast – while others complain to management about the food. Knight’s footage also reveals there are 100+ babies living in the hotel – including 10 which were born while their parents lived in Copthorne. In the most disturbing revelation, hotel workers discuss a man accused of preying on young girls still living on-site, and allegedly excused his actions by saying his interest in children was “normal in his culture”. Despite the many privileges, one resident stages a hunger strike demanding a faster asylum claim — leading to regular emergency service call-outs and, in one case, a police arrest. Other footage shows migrants playing cricket in the car park, being given drum and violin lessons, and praying in a boardroom which has been converted into a prayer room. The revelations paint a damning picture of the Home Office’s 5.8million-pounds-a-day hotel scheme – plus the many hidden costs on emergency services – sparking fury among Brits facing rising bills, stretched public services and housing shortages. One hotel worker says during the film: “Everyone’s so miserable. I don’t know why — they get everything for free!”
