Free football tickets, university courses, driving lessons and even hair extensions! ROSS CLARK reveals the astonishing list of perks taxpayers are funding for asylum seekers
We believe that asylum seekers live in the desperate penu while waiting for their practices to be processed by the Ministry of Interior.
It is said that they survived for a short time as £ 8 a week, which is prohibited from working or demanding the benefits of the UK citizens.
Absolutely very few are in good condition. However, although it is true that asylum seekers cannot access the normal benefit system, they actually have numerous working papers they are suitable for – somehow, at least partially financed with our taxes.
Asylum seekers, for example, are given direct housing and food provided by the state.
Then there are a number of charities that are financed by grants from the central government. This week, the nonsense of the system was left naked because many of those who came to England on small boats were offered a discount in a boat.
In fact, our government spends £ 2.8 billion a year to support asylum seekers and refugees in the UK – which constitutes 20 percent of the UK’s expenditures on overseas aid.
How a part of this large sum is spent?

Hotel remains
Although the proportion of asylum seekers in hotels decreases, one -third more than 37 percent – a hotel room was given last year.
In London, Southeast and East, the share was more than 60 percent.
What is the cost of this? EPPING is probably the best known hotel for asylum seekers – and the focus of protests in recent weeks after sexual assault allegations.
This is also a three-star hotel with the ziyafet facilities. Payment guests were able to use free wifi, a bar, restaurant and garden and terrace.
Today, the bag is not a way to determine the cost of one night. Booking.com says only ‘sold’.
However, similar three -star hotels such as Yeni Boar in the region, Yeni Boar and Ongar near Ongar, are advertising rooms at £ 103 and £ 95, respectively in the coming days.
The Ministry of Interior spent £ 2.1 billion in the hotel accommodation in March in 12 months.
Although the ratio of those looking for asylum seekers in hotels has fallen over one -third – more than 37 percent – a hotel room was given last year
Food
Asylum seekers take £ 49,18 as standard a week to help them meet food and other basic information. If the accommodation provides food-and many shelter offers a full board-it is reduced to £ 9.95 per person.
If this doesn’t make much sound, asylum seekers can access food banks free of charge. Some food banks are dedicated to asylum seekers.
For example, in Oxfordshire, the charity is welcome to shelter, a food bank that offers five days a week, fresh products, as well as bathroom equipment and other foundations. This is partially financed by taxpayers: last year, £ 672,000 from £ 1.72 million revenue came from £ Oxfordshire District Council and a series of regional councils.
In Cambridge, the Municipal Assembly offers free food lessons. These are provided to the projects that help refugees and to people with asylum experiences living in Cambridge ‘up to £ 30,000 under the re -settlement grants. The Council has distributed £ 250,000 of such grants since the plan started in 2022.

Health
If most health services are free of charge at the delivery point in this country, most of us are still dental care, prescription drugs, eye tests, glasses, contact lens and so on.
However, asylum seekers are HC2 certificates for low -income patients who are exempted from paying most of these charges.
Although HC2 certificates are available for some UK citizens, the request for freedom of knowledge revealed that 1.56 million published in the last five years were given to the two-thirds of the 920,000, about two-thirds.
Some asylum seekers – those who receive cancer treatment or some asylum seekers such as hair loss caused by alopecia are entitled to free wigs from basic hair that cost 80.13 £, even from real human hair to £ 310.55.
Meanwhile, the locals in EPPING said that a mobile dentistry unit visited the shelter of the Daily Mail and pointed to his own problems in finding a NHS dentist.

As of next year, free bus transitions will be given to asylum seekers in Scotland with the permission of the Scottish government.

Legal assistance
For most of us, the legal system is an expensive swamp. Lawyers’ fees can go bankrupt those who are brave enough to issue a case or try to defend. However, if you are an immigrant who wants to decide to reject your asylum application, it is a different story.
According to the Migration Watch Think Tank, taxpayers have paid 135 million £ forensic aid for asylum cases since 2018 – most of them to fight for asylum seekers who have already rejected cases by the home office for more than once.
