The UK migrant hotel accommodation system involves housing asylum seekers and migrants in hotels across the country, with significant public controversy surrounding the conditions, costs, and community impact. The system has been criticized for creating tensions in local communities, with concerns about crime statistics, cultural integration challenges, and the perceived unfairness of providing substantial welfare support to migrants while local residents face disruptions to their communities. The government has been moving migrants from hotels to HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation) and other housing arrangements, with ongoing debates about the sustainability and fairness of the current immigration and accommodation policies.

“People Are SICK TO DEATH of It” | AY Audits EXPOSES UK Migrant HotelsAdded:
Well, there's so many people I've spoken to in the last two or three years who have had, you know, hotels near them suddenly taken over and they've had, you know, wedding plans canled. They've had, you know, retirement parties canled, birthday parties. They've just been told, "Sorry, we we can't do it." And they get no compensation. They get no kind of, you know, explanation really.
Um, and many of these hotels are making an absolute fortune, aren't they? I mean, we've got we've got the uh the government now today and this week saying we've reduced the number of people in hotels because they're moving a lot of them now into HMOs HMOs and and and housing which which in many ways is worse in a way because you don't know where they are. You don't know where they where you're going to be living next door to. But you've spoke to quite a lot of the migrants as well, haven't you? And so where do a lot of them do you find they've all coming from one place or a small number of places?
>> You see predominantly it's Afghanistan?
>> Yeah. Sudan, >> right?
>> Atria.
>> Okay.
>> Um, predominantly it's from them countries.
>> Okay.
>> And it's like with these, you know, like they've come straight off of a coach, come straight off of a boat onto a coach.
>> They're out walking around the streets.
>> See this Luton Hotel, if you come out of it, if you look over one side, there's actually a Holiday in. Um, and there's some really nice ladies that work in there and they actually let me film from there.
>> Okay.
>> Down onto that building. Um, and they've told me stories like they're coming out late at night finishing their shift >> and these migrants are sitting in the bush.
>> Yeah.
>> And you're like And I went down there and actually had a look and you can see like the beer cans and stuff. Yeah. Just standing up sitting in the bush.
>> And I said to him like like what on earth are you doing sitting in bushes?
>> Yeah. And then it like I don't know people probably say I was going to sound a bit wrong for saying it but they're used to staying in bushes.
>> Yeah.
>> You know like this is what they do.
They've lived in camps in >> Calala etc. Do you know what I mean?
Like >> well I mean I don't know if you know Christian Drogan um who does the stuff we he went over and walked through one of the migrant camps in in Dunkerk for us >> and they were chucking stuff at him and it was horrific. There was rubbish everywhere. I mean the conditions that that they've created in which they live.
It's not the conditions they have to live in, it's the conditions they've made worse because of how they live.
>> Well, and they're going to bring that to here.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. And we've already seeing this in some places in London and probably other major cities around the country. Yeah.
Where they've actually where these have taken up camp.
>> Yeah. And they are treating it and it's only going to get bigger. It's only going to expand, you know. And >> this is how these people want to live.
These people are coming from places where they're not they're not their culture is not suitable with our culture. And a lot of these people, they're not going to they're not going to like they're not going to come here and >> and settled, you know, like >> so the majority of them are not going to work. The majority of them are going to end up on benefits having a house paid for, you know, getting their council tax paid for and never actually doing any work.
>> It's completely insane.
>> It's This is why Yeah. Like >> I mean you I mean I' I've been around the the the country probably slightly I'm slightly older than you.
>> Yeah. I've never seen anything like it.
I mean every now and again you sort of have to give yourself a a crack across the face and go is this really what Britain is now.
>> It's literally a holding pen for people for anyone who wants to come here from anywhere in the world. You know I I say this all the time that you know you travel around London now which is a minority um you know white British city and it's it's not about color. It's about finding people that actually speak English. You know, I go to my local supermarket yesterday.
>> I didn't hear anyone speaking English.
>> No.
>> You know, >> see, it's it's never it's never been about color. Yeah. And I go back to Epin. I was at Epin right from the beginning >> and I know a lot of people at Epin and >> they never cared about the hotel all the time. Well, there was always antisocial behavior regarding it. Do a little bit of shoplifting. they used to from the Tesco up the road shop started having more security etc. But then the only time they started protesting outside of the bell was when a serious sexual assault happened. Yeah. They didn't do it before. Yeah. It's only ever it was from then you know because then they this has happened in their community and a lot of people they actually they knew the family directly >> you know and because it is a small village and this is why the anger and the tension was so much but it was never about color. It was never about race, you know.
>> It was about the fact that people have warned about things are about to happen and then they happen. Yeah.
>> And the guy was was eventually arrested.
He was sent to prison. He was he was released by mistake. Right. He gets told how to get on a train to London. He ended up giving himself up, didn't he?
>> Well, and then Yeah, he did.
>> Infinary Park or something.
>> He ended up going up to some cops and said, "Look, I don't think I should be out." And then they then they deported him, but they gave him three and a half grand to go back to Eratraa. for all I know, he's back here >> and put him on Sky News.
>> Yeah. I mean, it's just ridiculous.
>> Like, >> it's it's it's hard to believe that this is going on. So, I mean, do you do you feel as though you're creating um a sort of an information point for people? Do you feel I mean, do you get presumably you get accused of being a racist, of being accused of being, you know, stirring up hatred and all of that, which is what which is what they all say just because you're asking questions about what they're doing. I look, I've been labeled everything under the sun.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Um, >> does that bother you?
>> It used to at the beginning. Yeah. I'm not going to lie. Like it used to I used to sit there and think to like it used to really bother me, you know, like you're getting called like nasty names, you know.
>> Um, and then >> cuz I've seen videos where whoever it is that's at the hotel telling you to stop filming >> and they go, "Why are you spreading hate?"
>> Yeah. Oh, that was a dumb church, I think.
>> Well, you go, "Well, I'm not spreading hate. I'm just filming." All I aim to do is is just show the people and it's clear Yeah. that there's a huge public interest in this. Yeah.
>> Yeah. And it's to show the people exactly what is going on from an unfiltered unfiltered point.
>> And it was the same when like when I followed the coach from Britannia at Canary Wolf to the apartments in Chelford, >> right?
>> And then you look they're they're 90 off top of my head 94 or 96 apartments. They give 300 grand for each one of them.
>> Yeah.
>> And they're going to people that have come into this country 24 hours previous.
>> And this can't be right. You know, I'm sorry. Like, and then just to be left in a city center like Cheltsford to be walking out and around.
>> Yeah.
>> Like we will see on Branch at Branchry on Thursday, this Thursday, you will probably see hundreds of them just get dumped into one community. Yeah. and just left to be w like roaming around like >> well we saw from this we were showing this video from Cro today um where people are now saying we need to have a kind of not vigilante unit but you know we've got our own sec they've got their own security now walking around because because the migrants in that camp there are actually getting quite emboldened you know they're coming out and they're telling people to stop filming them you know they're getting involved in scuffles they're starting to to to get sort of pissed off that people are are wondering what they're doing there might they will do. When I've been at these hotels, I've had hot coffee thrown in my face. I've had migrants threatened to do bad stuff to my mom, to my sister, etc. Um that you could only imagine, you know.
>> Um coffee like chuck full in my face.
>> Um I think uh the police actually come and attended. People actually from my live stream actually telephoned the police cuz they was worried cuz he started picking up rocks and stuff. Um, but I wasn't going to run. I wasn't going to do, you know, I'd stand on my ground and uh try and show exactly what it is. The police ended up coming. They didn't arrest him.
>> They let him go back into his hotel. Um, I actually fought for them to arrest him.
>> Yeah.
>> And they wasn't going to arrest him. So, I published it on social media.
>> You can imagine >> it went absolutely everywhere. The next day, the police are on on me. I reckon you could take this down and then we're gonna start prosecuting him, but we can't if it's up. I said, "No."
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Your only reason you're contacting me is because he's just done millions and millions of hits and you don't want to be You don't Well, anyway, they did arrest him.
>> Well, they didn't arrest him. They brought him in for a voluntary interview. They did charge him though, but he's gone on the run.
>> Yeah.
>> And he's disappeared.
>> Well, this is what happens. They disappear and you never see him again.
>> And this is the problem. You're letting undocumented, unvetted men >> into our country. Yeah. And these people can disappear.
>> That's, you know, that's >> it's ludicrous, isn't it? It's totally shocking. So, what's your plan? Are you going to continue just with your campaign?
>> Yes. Like, it's not a campaign, you know, like I don't look at it like that.
I will um still keep going to these hotels. I've been to nearly every single hotel in the country. Um, is it is it worth going around them all again? you know, like you've shown them once, you know, so you think like is it, you know, unless something like comes up there or something in the um >> in like as like a story or something then maybe but like document them coming off of these into these like processing centers and then trying to follow them from there to their next destination cuz that's when you find them going into these big multi HMOs where you've got like 98 rooms in one office block. Yeah, >> you know, and that's when you can >> when it might as well be a hotel, in other words, except they're getting money presumably to eat, to buy food, to pay for their electricity and all of that.
>> Well, I would I think electricity and all that there was probably included. Yeah, but food, etc. guaranteed. But even in the walls inside there, you got do you need a dentist appointment, scan this QR code, >> do you need self-defense lessons cuz the far right are getting too much. So, we'll take your kickboxing.
>> Yeah. and you're looking and you're thinking, so they're training these people. They're already conditioning them to think that like that we're that a white person because we we want to talk about immigration um that we're far right and racist.
>> So now you're actually training them to fight.
>> Yeah.
>> You know, and you see it and you think >> isn't it, >> mate? Like Yeah. It's and they're feeding these people up so well that you go to these hotels and >> I think the one in Peter, the Verve, >> they had they was going to the thing and getting two plates >> because one plate wasn't big enough.
>> Yeah.
>> So you had each migrant getting two plates of food.
>> And I'm looking and I'm thinking I'm looking on the wall and I'm like, >> so they actually get four meals a day.
>> Breakfast, snack, lunch, dinner.
>> Yeah. And you're looking and you're thinking there's like there's people here that I'm I'd love to get four meals a day. I probably look like I do get four meals a day. Yeah. But you know, like seriously, like you would love to be able There's a lot of people that doesn't even get one meal a day. No.
>> You know, and because they can't afford it. It's shocking.
>> You're paying for these ones to um to have this. Yeah. And it's just >> Yeah. It's just absolute It's ludicrous.
Yeah. When I when you're thinking >> And it's not We can't afford it. It's not sustainable.
>> Well, listen, there's no way on earth Yeah. that we can keep having this influx of migrants, whether it's legal or whether it's illegal. Yeah.
>> Um >> they need to they need to put a curb on this, you know, like even these people coming in on these visas, >> they're they're playing the system. Of course, you know, like and you can't blame them >> for playing the system.
>> No, but the system has to change.
>> The system has to change, you know. It needs to be broken down. And it needs to be rewritten. Yeah. And well, whatever they need to do with it and just, you know, and just say, "Look, we need to curb this." Like, >> we look at, I think, Dorset the other day, didn't they release some figures?
>> Yeah.
>> 44% of the sex crime committed by Afghans >> and they're only they make up 0.8% of the population.
>> Yeah.
>> Like, how could 0.8% of the population commit 44% of the se Well, we know how they do it.
>> Well, yeah.
>> Well, Bournemouth is now a no-go zone for most women. Well, there's one there's a migrant on trial there for um I don't know if I can say the word on your YouTube channel, but very serious sexual offense on the beach.
>> Yeah.
>> Um it turns out that this gentleman was actually refused asylum.
>> He was appealing.
>> Yeah.
>> And he was still let you had him refused and you still allowed him to be walking around the streets.
>> Yeah.
>> Like >> and I spoke to one of them outside Bournemouth. Not I don't know if it was him, you know, like a migrant outside the Roundhouse Hotel in Bournemouth and he was waiting. So he had been refused and he was appealing and I said, "So what are you going to do?" He said, "I'll run off."
>> Yeah.
>> Clear as day in front of the police, you know. And I'm like, "There you go, mate."
>> Well, there was a case the other day, the girl in Brighton who was punched, knocked out cold outside a nightclub because she wouldn't go with this guy who was from I think he was from Aratraa. Um they arrested him, charged him. He's had a court case, but he didn't turn up. He's on the run.
>> He's on the run. She's going, I don't know if he's going to come back and try and do me in. I don't know what >> another one at Brighton. I think they just released another one. A Syrian migrant. Yeah. Has just been arrested for another serious sexual uh >> sexual or crime.
>> And I just >> like you looked I think only a couple of months ago the government um they put a ban on student visas from Afghanistan.
Yeah.
>> Um Cameroon, Atria, >> um Sudan was on the list. There was other countries on the list as well. And I said to people like like why do you honestly think that they're banning the youngsters from coming here >> because they've seen what these ones are doing, >> you know, like they're trying to get ahead of the trying to get ahead of it, but they're doing it slightly, you know, they're not telling us. Well, we know anyway, you know, like they people could turn like everybody knows.
>> Everybody knows now. You know, the cat's out the bag and >> they got a serious problem. You know, >> it's the thought police. That's the >> This happens every Tuesday, by the way.
Um, it's it's it's a fire alarm. Yeah.
It will go off in a minute.
>> The building's gone too hot.
>> Anyway, listen, Anthony, I hope you don't It's all right if I call you Anthony.
>> Yeah. Yeah, it's fine. Yeah.
>> I mean, you obviously don't want everybody to know exactly who you are, >> mate. Channel 4 put me over on the on the my full name. I've had police officers might come up to me and say, "Do you still live at so and so address?"
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Like live.
>> And I look at them and say, "Do you know what? How would you like it?" Like how would you actually like it if I took a police officer's details and I published them all over the internet cuz I could do that if I wanted to. But I never would do that by the way. I'm not saying that anyone should do that.
>> Yeah. But >> how would you like it? You know, like don't do to others what you wouldn't like done to yourself first and foremost. And uh >> but that's how the police are, isn't it?
Yeah.
>> And they need to stop painting people like yourself as the bad guy, you know, cuz we know who the bad guys are. Well, I think they need to stop, everybody needs to stop painting everybody as these bad guys. You see people like Tommy Robinson, etc., you know, like they they paint him as this big >> bad monster. Yeah. When in reality, look what he's doing. You know, like he's bringing everybody he's bringing everybody together like in successive protest that I've been to, you know, like the amount of people that are at these at these demonstrations, you know, like they need >> Yeah. Because people are fed up. They're sick sick to death of it, you know.
People have started to realize that these labels Yeah. And they started to realize that people like Tommy Robinson ain't racist, you know, like he's not a racist. And they've started to realize because they've seen what it can do to ordinary people, you know, like myself, etc. the lies and stuff that they that they told and how they tried to put me in a picture or with a police officer and then have a have a little talk over of a conversation >> tried to make out that it was me and the police officer was having the conversation didn't exist >> and I'm standing and and it's live streamed and you look and you think right if they can just do this to an ordinary person what are they going to do to somebody that actually um actually like has a little bit of a bigger voice you know what I Sure. No, I know.
>> No, it's shocking. Absolutely shocking.
Listen, we got to go because we're over time.
>> Yeah, no problem.

>> Yeah. Thank you very much. Thanks for having us.
>> Um, do we need to do a pooch's pooch before we go?
>> Should we do a double one tomorrow?
>> Do a double one tomorrow. Yeah. Okay.
Yeah, cuz we're we're we're running a bit late. Um, that was a Audits, ladies and gentlemen. Um, brilliant guy. Uh, fantastic work that he does. Incredible that we now know what is going on thanks to people like him. um and what and how widespread it all is. But that was the show for today.
