"A total of 95 staff at a hotel which will house asylum seekers have been told they will lose their jobs.
The Stradey Park Hotel in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, is set to house up to 241 asylum seekers.
The Home Office said the plans were necessary and it was listening to the views of the local community.
The Refugee Council has raised concerns about integrating asylum seekers in the community and whether they will get the support they need.
The 50 full-time and 45 part-time staff will stop working at the hotel on 10 July, the same day asylum seekers are due to move in.
Staff were informed during a meeting on Tuesday morning, after an email was sent via management at the hotel who then informed their colleagues.
The meeting, which lasted about half an hour, did not include any representatives on behalf of the hotel's owners, Sterling Woodrow.
The BBC was told some staff members who were not able to make the meeting joined the meeting via their phones, while others were called afterwards by colleagues.
Staff were said to be "shocked" but some also described relief "after weeks of waiting" to have questions answered about their futures."
I wonder if the contract between Clearspring and the HO will see the former getting paid even though there aren’t going to be any the people housed at the hotel?

Many of us now see the Police in a different light after watching there actions during this protest what an eye opener it was seeing them go against there own locals and licking up to the home office and the hotel owners and security, their chief of police proved himself to be an utter sleazebag and liar, will show them no respect what so ever in the future not that they will be the least bit bothered.
Do you think the police had any choice other than to enforce the law? Given the HO have overall responsibility for policing in England and Wales and they were also the commissioning group for the contract to house the refugees/asylum seekers there was only ever going to be 1 course of action the police could take. Factor in the possibility Clearspring could have initiated litigation against the police for failing to implement the law of the land I think it’s obvious why the police have taken the actions that they did. The police have been caught in the middle as so often is the case.
The cancellation will not go down well at the HO because what’s happened at Stradey could be a catalyst similar action elsewhere.

There is no doubt that the police got it horribly wrong in the first instance, treating the initial wave of peaceful protestors like criminals and animals whilst protecting the business interests of private companies and facilitating their bullying tactics to gain access. Horribly wrong and shameful.

Did you not see the drone footage which proved the chief of police was a liar in regards to who caused the flooding, then the chief of security was walking around carrying a knife, yet all this was swept under the carpet by Inspector Ross and his cronies, then you have the evidence provided to them of vehicles owned by the security with no tax, mots, or insurance and defective tyres yet the police did nothing but they did manage to arrest a number of protesters and guess what quite a few of these charges have now been dropped, and worse of all you have a number of police thugs big bully type guys pushing around elderly men and woman and then running away to get reinforcements when a number of young guys confronted them on what they were doing all of this is on film as well.

The problem as I see it is that this local "victory" doesn't touch the real issue of the high number of arrivals, who we just don't have space to accommodate in local communities. The government, under huge pressure to meet its treaty obligation to provide appropriate accommodation, then desperately searches around for hotels, vacant military housing, barges and the like, all of which are resisted both by those who feel their communities will be overloaded and those who think the migrants deserve better accommodation. I find the stance of the latter particularly difficult to understand as they seem content with the numbers coming, and wrongly assume that there are sufficient vacant flats or rooms in urban centres to solve the problem.

Agree , also the NIMBY ideas , however , in this case , a total mismatch of cultures . It was a ill thought out choice of a put a plaster on the issue , that will cover it up .
Long term solution and answers to the now ongoing Worldwide movement of migrants , who has the answers , gladly not me .
Looks like this will become a daily problem on our telebox , over 300 thousand running from Palestine , where do they go now .
Not a Victory , but a commonsense result achieved by Scarlet good people , well done .

Will Palestinian refugees be coming here next ?, or are we going to try and keep them out there and give them billions in aid, or ignore them (that is if they have not been wiped out I suppose) when we take in/give aid to other foreign people.

Don't think we want any more terrorist coming to this country and blowing people up.

Seems the person responsible for latest Brussels shooting also an illegal.
Ah, but border control is sooooooo darn 'yesterday' and sooooooo "Nazi” nowadays according to some.
In fact, future logistical planning, assistance and supply, that was once required to be done by the actual terrorists themselves is now being provided absolutely free of charge by the government of the day.
Four star safe house, free internet to order bomb 'recipe' ingredients, new false I.D, Care For Calais encouragement/assistance, free legal advise to avoid deportation etc.....And Bob's your uncle!
And if caught doing something dodgy? Just say that it was “under duress” stuff and claim to be a “victim”. With a nice human rights lawyer ready to try to avoid jail or deportation, or both.
'Infiltration' is not what it once was, that saying "fings ain't what they used to be”. In fact WW2 Special Operations Executive had to parachute into France and hide in the forest and IRA chief of staff 'Slab Murphy' had to use a false passport to travel through European countries to arrange arms shipments.
Nowadays it’s much easier, a case of throw I.D into the sea. And clandestine methods? Who needs that nowadays! Those small boats might as well drop off a few AK 47's whilst they're at it, if you can get 20 people on a boat half a dozen automatic rifles would be no problem under the cover of darkness. Because if I've thought about it, terrorists certainly would have?

I ll admit to following Jeremy Corbyn on X mainly to remind me of how dangerous he is. We forget too easily
This despicable practice was seen down here in Parc Fforestfach during the construction process. Romanians doing 18 hour shifts it was there!
Widespread slave labour that affects the poorest paid, private-sector indigenous citizen belonging to U.K society, because it destroys job security and drives wages and conditions down to rock bottom levels.
But for some bizaree reason placard waving UNISON man/woman wants more illegal migrants......Hang on, slave labour does not, and never will affect his/her world now will it?

Why would labour people encourage immigrants to come in only for them to see lower wages It’s why they voted to leave EU Poles picking cabbages on the banks of the Wash. Nuts

Indeed! There is an extreme hypocrisy and irony that I find absolutely incredible; I witnessed it on here time and time again especially on Pikey Pauls mega-Brexit thread.
Bizarrely the more WOKE left (some now exiled on another forum) some were? The more ignorant and less knowledgeable, concerned and empathetic they were regarding individuals personal circumstances, when they were barely surviving on the very bottom rung of life's ladder
It was they on the bottom rung, who had to endure disgraceful zero-hour contracts, zero holiday pay, zero overtime pay, zero sick pay, inhuman long hours and abysmal job security.
And that is what gets me about some unions and their members also, along with the party that likes to think itself to be the bona-fide voice of the underprivileged. It was only the GMB union that rebelled against overseas cheap labour exploitation when it was happening down here.
You see at the end of the day it’s the poorest in society that will suffer the most from illegal migration. And that is the sick irony of it all, because it’s worlds away from the job-for-life placard waving comfort-zoned who are extremely desperate for illegal migration by as many millions as possible.
