The taxpayer is providing new clothes and shoes to illegal Channel migrants at a cost of more than £3,000 a day. The Telegraph has the story.
Men, women and children arriving at Dover have been handed the free clothes – including puffer coats, hats and gloves in winter and flip-flops in summer – at a total cost of almost £4 million over the past three years.
They are kept in a quayside store house, said by one former official to be as big as a Matalan or M&S store, with changing rooms to try the clothes on.
The Home Office stocks thousands of different sizes and shapes to replace all the migrants’ clothing, which it says is necessary because they are often soaked through with sea water and “occasionally” splashed with fuel, posing a health and safety risk.
Some are also offered free mobile phones to ensure that “ongoing contact” with immigration officials can be maintained, although the Home Office said this was rare and it could provide no figures on these costs.
The disclosure, revealed under freedom of information (FOI) laws, comes ahead of the Government unveiling its new border security legislation to deploy counter-terror-style powers to tackle people smuggling gangs. The Government has also confirmed it will repeal the Tories’ legislation that would have allowed migrants to be deported to Rwanda.
The figures have prompted calls for migrants to be required to reimburse the taxpayer if they are subsequently granted the right to remain in the UK as a refugee. About 66% of Channel migrants in the year to September 2024 were granted asylum.
Tony Smith, a former Director General of Border Force, said: “If they are allowed to stay, then they are going to be able to work and earn money. To me, that’s a chargeable deduction on our investment in them like universities, where you have to borrow £30,000 to get your child in to study.”
Two thirds of people entering illegally on small boats are given permission to stay, even though they came over from France? There’s the problem, right there.

So the government prioritizes the comfort of the illegal invaders, that no sane person wants in the country, over keeping British pensioners warm this winter. The confirmation that they hate the citizens doesn’t stop coming does it??
Meanwhile, this tragic news is being reported on from several outlets so it must be true. Bless him, he’d had a target on his back for some time now but it was a dangerous path he chose to go down. The psychopathic b’stards have finally murdered Salwan Momika;
”Swedish police on Thursday said five people had been arrested over the fatal shooting of an Iraqi man who carried out several Quran burnings.
The man had been due to attend Stockholm District Court later in the day for the verdict in a case over “offenses of agitation against an ethnic or national group.”
The incident occurred indoors and when police arrived they found a man who had been “hit by shots and the man was taken to the hospital,” the statement said.
Police later said they had made several arrests in connection with the shooting.
“Police arrested five people overnight. Prosecutors have detained them,” a police statement said.
“We’re in the very early stages,” Prosecutor Rasmus Oman confirmed told the AFP news agency. “There’s a lot of information gathering,” he said.
Swedish media said Momika had been streaming live on TikTok at the time he was shot.
The 38-year-old Salwan Momika, a Christian Iraqi, staged several desecrations and burnings of Islam’s holy book.”

Poor man. A real hero.
Yes indeed. I thought he’d got asylum in Norway because Sweden were wanting to deport him back to Iraq as they considered him a national security risk, but I saw on his Twitter he was talking about getting asylum in the U.S, possibly since Trump won the election. Anyway, it’s being picked up all over now, Geert Wilders and many others commenting on this very sad news. After all, I doubt very much the culprits who executed him in the flat he was staying were of the ‘far right’ type. Perhaps we’ll learn more about their identities in due course;

I doubt that the perps will ever be revealed.
Salwan was right to observe the gradual and continuous Islamification of Europe though. I feel bad for the legit refugees ( religious minorities, gays ), apostates etc who’ve escaped these majority Muslim lands, made it to Europe and are assimilated and maximising their opportunity to be free and safe here only to find the country that’s taken them in is also taking in more and more of the types of people they were escaping from.
This will always happen in dhimmi Britain and while the Khant is mayor of London. They can do whatever in their mosques but in central London? Totally inappropriate;

That is an effing disgrace (the inbreds on the bridge).
From France??? Oh the poor souls! Have pity!
I think the bloke in the photo, on his phone is just reading this article and laughing. I really do believe this parasitic class is trolling the public. Neil Oliver asked in his latest video….We know it is happening, I am interested in WHY it is happening.
I’m happy to entertain all theories like the Kalergi Plan, however, I seem to remember an article on here a while back blaming ‘the system’ being out of control…..End of the day the result is the same.
It is the same model as the military industrial complex. They will fleece you in any way they can and in the later stages they will come up with all sorts of inventive strategies to bleed you dry. Maybe you think you have been bled dry already but you haven’t seen anything yet. The dynamics of such a system were best described By Orson Welles in The Lady From Shanghai. Where he tells Rita Hayworth about the fury of the shark feeding frenzy. They are attracted by blood and human remains and they become crazy so that they start to attack each other. In the final phase they start biting at their own stomachs such is their blood lust. Our system is configured in exactly that way.
Don they get the electric scooters too?
Don’t they qualify for electric chairs?
We are missing one of those. I can help!
So a telephone situated in their hostel wouldn’t?
If you want to track them what’s wrong with an RFID under the shin?
In am hearing that those figures are way too low….a local Hotel has Gimmiegrants and the word is they get te hotel, 3 meals a day clothing, an all paid mobile phone and £ 300/week spending money……each…no wonder we are swamped.
Exactly – you have to stop the pull factor. If you set up a stall and start handing out free beer lots of people will come. Stop giving out beer and they won’t. To get that to change we need a majority of MPs that see immigration as a problem and currently we do not. At the moment even the Nigel Farage Incorporated Party does not fit the bill either as the owner does not want to deal with this properly and send them back where they came from.
I think he does, but the politics of it need to be taken into account. If he said “send them home” the left would have a field day. Nazi at the least. Opposing the settled “status quo” is very difficult, and giving then ammunition is the last thig to do. Slowly, slowly is the way!
Boy, I bet the Brits wish they had a Tom Homan here and a president who started on day 2 of his presidency flying the illegals home. Britain is a lost small island.
Our homeless and poor buy decent clothes from charity shops. They are fit to bursting with stock which would do for these people. If at all necessary. I shop in them regularly and manage to look good. I can hardly believe the handouts when they literally just set foot on this soil. Absolute shit show.
There are several different colour coats. They are probably asked what colour coat and type of shoes they prefer before being given a telecoms package and phone if they do not have one. Look at the smiles. They probably think they have arrived in heaven when considering some of the merde holes they come from.
Migrants should be charged for all money spent on them.
Nothing should be free for them.
