Stradey Park should have received its new residents at the start of July, but local resistance put a stop to that. The opposition began with court cases and letters to Whitehall from the town’s great and good, but over the past 12 weeks it has metastasised. A permanent protest camp has sprung up right at the hotel gates, and what it has become leaves the town’s elected representatives baffled and fearful.
What began as complaints about the loss of a four-star hotel and 100 jobs is now a swamp of conspiracies about invaders and foreign rapists. A leaflet recently given out around the town asks: “Is it racist to protect your home from unknown unvetted illegals?” Last week, some of the people at the camp stormed the hotel. One leader of the original protest, Robert Lloyd, is now hounded outside his home for not being hardline enough. He says that friends whose weddings he attended now threaten him, and the night before we met last week, the police were doing hourly patrols outside his house.
Folk complain, demonstrate, against the arrival of asylum sekkers in a local hotel.
This is the fault of the Home Secretary.
Quiote why is never made clear – because Aditya certainly doesn’t think the seekers should be thrown out.
The strangest thing about this story is the fact that there is a 4 star hotel in Llanelli.

The council clearly thought it was bang out of order too…
Well we have been telling these cunts (politicians) that we don’t want any more migrants since the 1960’s but they have willfully, and with malice aforethought, ignored our wishes, so perhaps a bit of ‘affirmative action’ is the only option left?
I tell you, the solution that will work is to put the invaders into tents pitched on Hampstead Heath.
Only then will The Establishment do something.
Why do the migrants get 4-star hotel accommodations when the average citizen can’t afford that kind of luxury?
They’re doing the same stuff over here in the US and Canada too.

Faster, please.
Hounding is not as effective as lionising.
Imagine the nerve of British people, in Britain, protesting about something they don’t want. Nazis!
Don’t you just love that what ought to be contentious issues are reported as if there was only one side to them and anyone who takes a different stance is racist, phobic or just plain evil?
It may be in the best 1984 style but it seems to work…

Correction Addolff. They were being told that when the Windrush was manoeuvring to get alongside the quay in the 1950s. And yes, there were protests. British Government. Cockin’ a deafun’ for 70 years. It’s what we do. (Mission statement by HMG)
