Immigration detainees 'benefit from £1-an-hour work'

Immigration detainees 'benefit from £1-an-hour work' (http://http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-40492305)

"The saving of using detainees for £1 an hour, compared to paying employed staff on minimum wage, would be in the region of £300,000 a month."

Just how stupid are these people who claim that £1 an hour pay solely benefits detainees when there is a clear £3.6 million per year saving on minimum wage employees.

So there's these detainees working for £1, apprentices working for £2, gig economy workers getting £2.50 volunteers working for nothing and those employed overseas by agencies working for god knows what... Who here actually earns a fair days pay?
