I think people have just become tired of their toletance being abused. I think putting people in hotels was a really bad idea all started by the Tories. We are coming into the back end of summer now, hotel prices are expensive this time of year for stay at home holidaymakers, it becomes noticable then that the hotels are occupied by other visitors. Hotels are even shutting restaurants to build more rooms, I think it's something Whitbread is projected to do, might be others, but I see that as milking the situation. We need to find other ways, local hotels is not the answer and is seen as not acceptable, speaking generally.
Yeah, the issue with using hotels is a bit like what I saw when they used to use them to house people with long term mental health / homelessness issues. i.e It was occupancy for what were run down establishments where private owners could charge the govt vastly inflated sums of money for. I saw this with my own eyes as it was an area that I was involved with from the homelessness side of things. Like you say, it then has a knock on effect for the rest of the hospitality sector.
As for processing migrants. It's an area that we've largely neglected to fund in terms of where to put them, and the numbers of staff both to process asylum claims and in terms of border force / security to stop people from making the journeys in the first place. So we've ended up in a situation where we now have people coming here and we can't sort out the genuine claims from those who come here for economic reasons.
