While out jogging yesterday, I got chatting to another long time town resident. She lives close to a Council run care home which was closed down this autumn despite a strong campaign by local councillors and residents to keep it open. Allegedly, it was no longer fit for purpose and the Council had no funds for making it so. So all of the residents were passed on elsewhere. She has her finger on the local pulse and told me that the care home will, in the very near future, be accommodating illegal immigrants, just like the two hotels elsewhere in the town, and the one a mile just up the road in the next village. A bit of searching reveals the extent of the problem across the country, with private companies now commissioned by the govt to seek out and find accommodation for them. One such company has increased its profit in the last year from just £4.5m to £28m, with 37,000 illegals in approx 200 hotels across the country, at a cost to the taxpayer of £6.8 million a day. If that is the case, it will appear that the Council has chucked out the old folk, tarted up the care home, and prioritised the illegals

This is, unfortunately, the modern way.
