00:58And then, sometime this year,
01:00in the news, migrant hotels have been coming up a lot.
01:04a lot. So there's a couple of YouTubers who follow, a couple of auditors, anyway there's
01:08one gentleman who's been going to migrant hotels and he was asking questions like I wonder
01:15how much this costs or I wonder XYZ. So I just sent him a message and said listen I
01:21used to work in one, I can give you a lot of information here, I can send you some bits.
01:34It's not as interesting as you would think, it would be a lot of men or in some cases
02:02they were families, so a lot of families just sitting around, talking in their own language,
02:08having food, drinking cups of tea and reading notices on notice boards, that's pretty much
02:14the gist of what was in there and a couple of gentlemen playing ping pong and that's it
02:20to be honest.
02:30The reason to it was so people could make their own assumptions, because I said I felt
02:34like I was in a unique position of I know I'd be able to walk through the front doors,
02:40just for having a little bit of brown skin in Middle Eastern heritage, security look up
02:44and just assume I'm a migrant and a sign seeker. So for me I thought it would be a unique opportunity
02:50just to film inside, I can film inside and then people can make their own decisions.
02:55Thank you very much Madam Deputy Speaker with your permission. We have already announced
03:01that we will empty asylum hotels by the end of the Parliament and we are exploring a number
03:06of large military sites as an alternative. We will now also remove the 2005 legislation that created a
03:14duty to support asylum seekers, reverting to a legal power to do so instead. So those with income or assets
03:23will have to contribute to the cost of their stay.
03:26In 2017 I was there with a plaque saying refugees welcome because we should be helping the refugees
03:33as a developed nation. However when Covid came and Covid restrictions and then after that I started
03:39working straight into a migrant hotel I started shifting from the left to the right just because
03:46there was the refugees coming over where in my opinion many of them weren't genuine at all.
04:00And they want the conflict that so they they film look what's going on here when actually they've
04:05caused lots of the conflict themselves by what or ask provocative questions that when people tell
04:10them where to get off to then that turns into something and then they film that because they're
04:16after you know clickbait they're after drama so actually what they're doing is they're encouraging
04:22division they're encouraging hatred and then their commentary is full of lies.
04:27They're usually thugs with an iphone and essentially that's it I would say that just because you
04:46can draw in crayon doesn't make you a journalist. This is my this is the office we've got bits of you
04:52know like this is more we've got more. Yeah so this is where you work basically. Yeah yeah so we got and
04:58are terrified because they've already come from a traumatic experience um and they've been fed the
05:05idea that when they come to Britain is a country of democracy and is prepared to defend it and when they
05:11actually arrive the saddest thing is the disappointment that they're not actually safe.
05:22so
05:30you
05:52Can I speak to you about the Albanians coming over?
05:54Oh, I wanted to ask you about that, yeah, I saw that.
05:57So we had a lot of gentlemen who were extremely ungrateful,
06:01you know, they were refusing to eat the food,
06:05they would complain about the size of the room, et cetera,
06:07stuff like that, and that's, you thought,
06:09if you're a genuine refugee, you know,
06:12if you're fleeing war, persecution,
06:14would you really be complaining about the size of your bedroom?
06:22There are genuine refugees there,
06:48but the whole system is tainted
06:50by an influx of people who want to basically have a free ride,
06:55bypass the system, and then because it gets overwhelmed,
06:57the actual, the genuine refugees don't get help.
07:00They get put in a hotel for a year, not much support.
07:04All they've got for entertainment is a foreign TV.
07:09And the doors are open.
07:10We are out of air. Thank you, everybody.
07:12Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
07:20Thumbs up!
07:21For the next one, AR Audits.
07:23We will be at another hotel soon.
07:25So I thought we're the boys now.
07:27We've been released.
07:28Take care, guys.
07:29See you on the next one.
07:30Do-do!
07:47Go home!
07:49Hear us now!
07:52I've noticed we're at Corley, the police station's obviously at the magistrate's call.
