Great news for hotel owners, but paid for by the good old British taxpayer.  When will we get a grip?

Meanwhile after a desperate life or death struggle to reach the land of opportunity almost 1.7 million non UK residents are not working or seeking employment. Economically inactive the authorities call them. I tend to feel that they are active but possibly not in the legal sense. The cost I hear you ask. How about £8.5billion a year. Starmers answer. ... Save money by starving or freezing the elderly, tax the indigenous workers, drive motorist off the road with fuel costs or "controled zone" costs, and stop people having a ciggy in pub outdoor areas. Still be plenty of work for the criminals when tobacco sales go underground with the steam tugs.
