You keep saying they’re “better off” and getting everything for free, but the facts don’t back that up. Most asylum seekers are banned from working legally, living in overcrowded hotels or hostels with mould and bedbugs, and surviving on about £7 a day if they’re lucky. That’s not some lavish setup—it’s deliberately grim to deter people from coming here.

And let’s be honest: if you or I were stuck in that situation, we’d be doing whatever we could to survive too. Blaming people who’ve got nothing and no way to earn is a lot easier than admitting the system is broken on purpose.
