Where are the immigrants taken when they arrive in the uk?

It's been in the news... they are taken by coach to hotels that the government has done deals with, all paid for our of our taxes. Britannia Hotels are the latest chain of hotels to do these deals.

Initially to Manston in Kent, a secure site, for security and identity checks, it’s a former RAF site.

Yes, Britannia Hotels, with the reputation of being the worst chain of hotels in the UK. The shareholders are laughing all the way to the bank.

They are driven past our homeless people freezing and starving on the streets to nice warm hotels paid for out of our taxes that I would rather be spent on schools, health, homeless hostels etc...

About 5 minutes drive from my house!!

But surely even Britannia hotels have limited spaces? So they start at Manston in Kent but then where? Do they have accommodation? During this summer it’s not unusual to have a thousand a week, if we have homeless people how come there is no where for them? I really don’t want this to become political but I find it really hard to understand how endless numbers of people can be housed.

You just made it political Bazza…. as you said initially, plenty of other threads on this.

Homelessness is a big issue affecting hundreds of thousands of people across the UK and the issue has reached critical levels around the country in 2025.

A load were dropped off at Barbican Hotel, Canary Wharf early this morning.

They are filmed hanging out of windows, laughing and using their phones to take photos of protestors outside.
They can’t believe their luck.

The anti migrant people are very peaceful and unmasked.
The other lot are all wearing masks.

Britannia Hotels have a 10,000 bed capacity.
As for it being a nightmare for people to arrange it’s a very well oiled machine. It’s not as if is a new phenomenon 🤷‍♀️

A big hotel on our seafront has been used to house them. A couple of weeks ago it was found that a Syrian man and woman were caught in their room making porn videos. The man's punishment was to be rehoused on another site. I'll not be surprised if this is just the tip of the iceberg.

And yes this is a Britannia Hotel.

Of course they’re laughing. They have travelled through countless safe countries to four star hotels with free food, access to NHS and dentists, monetary handouts etc, etc. All paid for by us at the expense of our own. We are a complete laughing stock.

According to the DM those pictures are from the Thistle Hotel in Islington, not Canary Wharf Primrose

I am not opposed to anyone coming here and working legally. It is not good though when immigrants are getting all these handouts and our own people who have worked all their lives having benefits cut. As Primrose53 says they can't believe their luck.

I watched it on TV.
Doesn’t really matter where it is, it’s still true and happening.

I wonder how they manage to do security and identity checks for those with no documents and determined to lie?

That's just the ones that are picked up officially. I have seen videos of these rubber boats landing on beaches and black lads just running for it into suburban streets. God knows where they go from there. I feel very sorry for people living in these south coast towns.

But if they keep arriving in the numbers they are currently, won’t we eventually run out of places for them? Or perhaps some of them are returned making room for others. I guess that this is such an incendiary subject we’re not privy to many details.

Why is this on ‘site stuff’?

Maybe it is someone unused to the site. I don’t recognise the name.

It's just another thread not seeking genuine information but just wanting to wind people up...doesn't take much either it seems...
