Millionär Liverpool GP hinter Asylbewerberhotels

Everything wrong with ‚the system‘ in one story.

The GP in this case seems like effectively just an investor who’s been sold an elaborate scheme to benefit from the clusterfuck of both landlords rent-seeking and Home Office mismanagement.

I don’t have much sympathy for the guy but I don’t think he is the story here. The Home Office is complicit in this. They were so desperate to house asylum seekers that frankly they’d find any cardboard box and pay the owner upfront for a decade if required.

What a fucking shitshow.

You can take any position you want on migration and asylum but the problem is that any vote for a ‚compassionate‘ system fuelled exactly this kind of behaviour.

A lot of people don’t want to stop asylum seekers on racist grounds, they just want to stop incentivising the myriad externalities.
