@alimcforever: Belfast Riots The Home Office does not own asylum housing. It outsourced the entire system in 2019 to three companies — Mears, Serco, Clearsprings — under 10‑year contracts first priced at £4bn and now projected to cost £15.3bn, with at least £3.1bn a year burned on hotels because the state chose not to build or keep enough public housing, and the difference between what it could cost (£14/night) and what it does cost (£145/night) is extracted as profit, dividends, and stock buybacks for contractors and their institutional investors in Luxembourg, Frankfurt, London and Boston. #uk #belfast #Ireland #news #dublin

Great journalism thanks for bringing this to light 👏

shilcorn :

Looking at that report, it looks like 4b was spent on accommodation, not 27.8. That 27.8 seems to be the entire operation costs for the home office?

I worked in hotels in Ireland and they are all linked , it was always a business , that’s why you see so many hotels getting built.

The rentier market is an fundamental reason why our economy is spiralling downwards. To much investment into property rather than investing in infrastructure. 🤔
