Our asylum system is broken and putting intolerable pressure on public services – but at least one man is happy
Migrant jackpot
OUR asylum system is broken and putting intolerable pressure on public services — but one man is very far from unhappy.
Graham King has made so much dosh from housing migrants he’s richer than our actual King.
Thanks to Whitehall’s serial cluelessness, Government contracts are as good as a Lottery jackpot.
And Essex boy Mr King has a ten-year deal, making him £3.5million A DAY from taxpayers and amassing him a £750million fortune.
No wonder his daughter loves “refugees”.
In fairness, Mr King merely filled a niche since thousands of people inevitably need housing under a shambolic system notorious globally as a soft touch.
The blame lies with supine liberal politicians, idiotic human rights campaigners and inept procurement mandarins who vastly overpay for everything (it’s only public money, after all).
Plus of course weak, woke immigration officials who cannot tell a genuinely needy asylum claimant from all the obvious chancers and dangerous jihadists.
Take, for example, murdering maniac Ahmed Alid, now spending his life in jail at our expense.
He arrived in 2020 illegally but unchallenged, claimed asylum from safe Morocco and instead of being rejected and deported was STILL being considered last October when he randomly butchered pensioner Terence Carney in “revenge for Gaza” while screaming “Allahu Akbar!”.
What tragic, lethal incompetence.
Hunt the facts
WHEN Jeremy Hunt accuses Labour of blatantly lying about Tory “plans” to axe National Insurance and halve the state pension he’s not wrong, is he?
Persisting with this fiction will tell us much about Keir Starmer’s party and the “integrity” he boasts of.
It should by now be projecting statesmanlike gravitas as the Government-in-waiting it purports to be.
Instead, based on the commendable Tory ambition to end the “double taxation” of NI on workers’ pay if ever the finances allow, Labour has concocted bogus costings and absurdly claimed Mr Hunt would put pensions at risk.
The Chancellor’s blast about the £38billion black hole in Labour’s own plans may be naked retaliation.
But it is at least based on what Labour has actually said — and costed by Treasury officials.
Labour’s attack is entirely false, and those responsible know it.
What does it tell us about them that they choose to deceive and frighten pensioners?
Baz beens
BABY Barrys are almost no more.
A pity — but at least they’ve still got their own island in South Wales.
As for other baby names, new mums and dads are steering well clear of Keir.
Perhaps it was a difficult labour.
