We're closing migrant hotels in a bid to save money, but it's costing us more money because they'll all end up in social housing

If it feels like living in Britain is like living in a foreign country, that's because it is.

You lucky taxpayers are £4.3billion of the foreign aid budget being spent on refugees and asylum seekers.


We are now spending more than 50 per cent of our £9.9billion bilateral aid budget within the UK.

The EU has just passed a pointless new migrant quota deal that will make more people rush to the land of milk, honey and complete gullibility that is Great Britain.

There has been a 239 per cent increase in homeless refugees since 2021. Where are they going?

Ah yes, I imagine quite near the top of your local housing waiting list.

We're closing migrant hotels in a bid to save money, but it's costing us more money because they'll all end up in social housing or private accommodation bought by you, the taxpayer.

And the National Audit Office has said that around £1.2billion is expected to be spent on housing migrants in large sites like RAF Scampton or Wethersfield.

But back to the foreign aid issue now. International rules allow countries to count first year costs of supporting refugees as overseas development assistance.

So that's what we're doing. But because you're all more intelligent than the government gives you credit for, you'll have already noticed that they're fudging the numbers, aren't they?

You're still paying the £4.3billion out of the foreign aid budget, but because these people aren't going to leave Britain, or get a decent job and be able to support themselves for quite some time, you will probably be paying for them forever.

And we can't hide that in the foreign aid budget forever, can we? Your massive tax bill is coming across the Channel every single day. Is it too much to ask for a British government to put Brits first?

This is now the worst of both worlds. We're still spending billions abroad, like giving Somalia £100million in 2022. We gave £110million to Nigeria. We once gave a load of money to a Kenyan rainmaker and an Ethiopian girl band. We've given the Taliban hundreds of millions of pounds.

Just let me read this sentence to you, a statement from our government: "Following the Taliban's capture of Kabul in August 2021, increased UK commitments meant Afghanistan became the UK's largest bilateral aid programme, with spending rising to £286million in 2021 to 22."

We're supposed to be giving them £151million this year. After a long day of stoning women to death, having questionable relations with young boys and plotting to kill us all, they retire for the evening to sleep soundly on a bed of British taxpayers cash. But you're paying for them when they come over here as well.

But it's about more than the money, isn't it? When you look around, do you feel enriched? I mean, not literally, obviously, because we've already established that billions of pounds of your money is going to refugees and asylum seekers. I mean, culturally, societally. Do you feel more safe? The British public are paying every single which way, and they are fudging the numbers to try to mask the true cost of this.
