Britain’s Asylum Protests: A growing network of combative videographers has played a key role in igniting and amplifying protests outside asylum seeker hotels across Britain. Undercover footage filmed inside migrant accommodation, confrontations with staff and asylum seekers, and viral online videos have drawn millions of views—fueling public anger over immigration and asylum policies. This report looks at how these videographers operate, how they profit from viral outrage, and how their content has intensified tensions, protests, and political debate around Britain’s asylum system.

00:24WOOOOOO!
00:26That's a really nice hotel, my sis.
00:30You're not welcome!
00:32Welcome, Mary.
00:34WOOOOOO!
00:36WOOOOOO!
00:38Shame on you!
00:40WOOOOOO!
00:42It's always outsourced.
00:44I don't know how to do that now.
00:46WOOOOOO!

00:54WOOOOO!
00:56WOOOOO!
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.
