Taxpayers footing the bill to house asylum seeker facing serious criminal allegations

Reform UK Council Leader Darren Grimes questions how asylum seekers can be housed at taxpayer expense when some are accused of concealing their identities and facing serious criminal allegations. “A man crosses the channel on a small boat in August of last year. It's alleged he gave a false name. Go figure,” Mr Grimes told News24 host Samara Gill. “Those who throw their passport overseas and then are put up in … taxpayer-funded hotels, and we find out that they're wanted for all of these crimes. Of course, Britain is broken.”
