How Much More Can We Take?

England has been the hotbed of the 24/7 news cycle recently. Not surprisingly of course: His Majesty’s country is ruled by literally careless individuals who haven't the faintest clue of the will of its people. But it doesn't even care about its own people now:

"Rights of asylum seekers trump people of Epping, argues Home Office"

per The Telegraph

On Friday a temporary injunction that blocked asylum seekers being housed at an Essex hotel was overturned at the Court of Appeal. The ruling now sets a precedent in the courts system that basically gives the "Ok" for the litany of Asylum Hotels up and down the UK to continue.

The previously mentioned Epping hotel has been a searing stew of outrage prior to and following the ruling. There are however, some key questions that arise from the wishes of the protestors. One of the main ones being that, if these Asylum Hotels are to close, where do these men go? If it means going into the local community, I highly doubt the protestors want that. And let's be honest, the government probably doesn't want that either, given the issues that could permeate as a result.

One of the few positives that could arise from closing all these asylum hotels would be cutting costs. It is costing the British taxpayer tremendously to house these people: "The average nightly cost per person fell from £162.16 in March 2023 to £118.87 by March 2025, according to BBC Verify's analysis of official data obtained through a Freedom of Information request." According to the new Home Office statistics, there were 32,059 asylum seekers being housed in hotels at the end of June.

So I crunched the numbers:

Take the given £118.87 average nightly cost per person, round it up to £119 and times it by the 32,059 Asylum seekers in Hotels currently and it comes to:

£3,815,021 a night, £118,265,651 a month, £686,703,780 every six months and £1,392,482,665 a year.

To talk about Black Holes...

As noted previously, this kind of thing has been the subject of coarse resentment among the British citizenry; meanwhile Keir and co. intrigue to damage the UK in increasingly insidious and marring machinations.

That tweet is fully correct in its observation. Across the UK, a phenomenon of people raising flags onto public lampposts, buildings and their own houses seems to show the growing fight for British identity and a means by which citizens can highlight their personal discontent with the current instalment of the anti-British government. Mr. Starmer has, in typical Starmer fashion, gone very sotto voce on the whole thing; he's left the issue to his local party bureaucrats to crackdown on the outbreak:

"Yesterday came the extraordinary spectacle of council workers using extendable shears to remove St George’s Cross flags from lamp posts in the east London borough of Tower Hamlets"

per The Daily Mail

Imagine a country in which elected personnel authorise the taking down of the flag of the country in which they live. Of course, other flags are cool (Palestine etc.), but not our own. It's a strange world we live in.

In the UK, there's a police unit that monitors speech online, local councils take down flags of the country in which they govern and a Home Office that prioritises foreign-born citizens over their own people. "Orwellian" is the apt-term to describe it.

What makes up for the growingly alarming state of the UK is the people. And as I said before, they're waking up:

And in Skegness..

Across the country, people are getting louder and more vociferous in the fight for their nation and the values they see to be true and fair. Values that built the country and made it into a global empire. Values that we have since turned our back on as a country, and we are seeing the effects every day.

At this point, the UK's future is becoming harder and harder to predict. Our state swells without relent year-on-year, our economy has very little life left to it, with some predicting an International Monetary Fund bailout on the cards, and our demography has changed/is changing profoundly. Is the fightback too late? Is it strong enough? Or can very little be done in reality?

The one thing Britain has on its side is history which tells us that the levels of government-led incompetency cannot continue forever. One way or another, one side has to give-in.
