 I think you may have the solution to the illegal-migrant hotel crisis€€€put 
 them in requisitioned empty homes - which has the benefit (to the 
 government) of diffusing the prospect of the sort of protests that have 
 taken place over the summer. Whoever is going to take any notice of two or 
 three neighbours protesting about the safety of women and girls, in the 
 manner that has so exercised the government that they had to bus-in the far 
 left to stir up trouble with their chants of Nazis! and that hackneyed word 
 Racists!?
