In Crunch for Affordable UK Rentals, Starmer Slams the Door on Citizens – HotAir

Oh, boy.

There’s humanely and responsibly taking care of uninvited guests (read: illegal migrants flooding into your country). 

And then there’s indulgence to the point where you’re responsible for encouraging the flood itself, have done nothing to stem the tide, and have completely abrogated any responsibilities you owe your citizens/taxpayers by the wanton disregard of your national sovereignty and the blatantly disgraceful way their rights have been cast aside.





Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour government is a New World Order nightmare on crack.

There has been a housing crisis, especially for middle to lower-income Brits, in the United Kingdom for some time.

 There have been big promises and even bigger plans, and, of course, nothing comes to pass to relieve what is called a ‘chronic’ shortage of affordable, available roofs to lay one’s head under. As you can imagine, a good part of the problem is reportedly a regulation-intensive British planning system – go figure, right?

The UK’s chronic housing shortage is one of the biggest economic and social challenges the country faces. The Government is aiming to build 1.5 million homes over the Parliament in England, but barely 200,000 were built in 2023-24.

England’s housing crisis is so severe as the planning system is especially restrictive. While other countries have rules-based zoning systems, England has a discretionary planning system where every decision is made case-by case. In most zoning systems proposals that follow the rule are accepted, while under discretion even projects that have been approved by planners can be rejected by councils.

The housing crisis varies substantially across the UK, with the worst shortages in the most economically successful cities and towns where employment opportunities draw in large numbers of people. These are caused by how our planning system disconnects the local supply of housing from local demand.





What this does is make every single affordably priced open room, apartment, flat, or home that’s for rent a coveted score in itself, especially in bigger cities where the demand is much higher.

Besides doing little but wave his arms and posture ineffectually, Sir Keir has now stepped in to make finding a home for the least blessed of his citizens in such a bind – emphasis on citizens – a near impossibility.

He and his government are in the process of taking those hardworking sods’ tax dollars and finding British landlords anywhere willing to rent their available properties to the government on five-year, guaranteed contracts, to house as many of the 30,000 some odd illegals the UK has on-hand already.

Having taken office pledging to “smash the criminal gangs” that are shipping boatloads of illegal migrants across the English Channel, Sir Keir Starmer now appears instead to be in the business of renting houses for their clients.

Serco, a government contractor, is seeking landlords to house some of the 30,000 asylum seekers it is currently responsible for. Backed by state funding, it is able to offer five-year leases with no risk of arrears or non-payment, full funding for repairs and maintenance, and no letting or management fees.

This is an appealing offer for landlords, but an appalling situation for those taxpayers in the private rented sector, who now face the prospect of the state effectively using their own money to outbid them for housing.





Yup. That’s the plan, and tough luck to you, taxpayer Smithers, if you were hoping to move to a nicer flat. You’ll be lucky if you can keep the one you have when the government starts outbidding your paltry rent payment.

Labour does have expansive plans for spreading out the illegal love, too.

I’ve already checked to see if Ebola’s little town is on it, and it’s not…yet.

GB News has the three areas and all the towns the government contractor was targeting on their site here – it’s pretty extensive. Unsurprisingly, when the list leaked and the outrage bomb went off, it just as quickly disappeared.

…The list, which was was not drawn up by the Home Office and was subsequently removed, had been split into three areas, the North West, the Midlands and the East of England, with Serco admitting: “We are continuing to work with new Local Authorities across our region to extend the Serco footprint.” However, the company’s website also stated: “All areas are currently closed for Procurement in the North West.”





One GB News reporter, bless his brave heart, had the chops to confront the milquetoasted PM personally about the plan. Asking Starmer if they should let the folks in their viewing audience know that migrants from God knows where would soon be living next door, thanks to Starmer’s government, with their tax dollars paying for it all.

I anticipate Mr Hope will shortly be declared an enemy of the state and no doubt will have the PM’s Starmtroopers banging at his door for his impertinence.

I hope there’s someone with a cellphone camera to capture the moment Sir ‘Very Proud of Our Freedom’ has another person who spoke freely hauled away.

Starmer’s authoritarian regime has achieved such international notoriety that, at a Trump press briefing, former Mumford and Sons member and now ardent freedom defender Winston Marshall asked if the US would be accepting asylum claims from UK citizens.





He is so sharp.

Former Mumford & Sons banjoist Winston Marshall stunned White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt when he called on the Trump administration to grant Brits prosecuted for their speech asylum in the US.

The UK has been accused of hampering free speech ever since Adam Smith-Connor was arrested in 2023 after he refused to leave a safe zone around an abortion clinic designed to protect vulnerable women.

Marshall now claims ‘we have had a quarter of a million people issued non-hate crime incidents’ ever since.

‘As we speak, there are people in prison for quite literally reposting memes,’ he told Leavitt inside the White House Briefing Room on Monday.

‘We have extensive prison  sentences for tweets, social media posts and general free speech issues,’ he continued, before getting to his question.

‘Would the Trump administration consider asylum for British citizens in such a situation?’ the former rock star asked.

Leavitt seemed taken aback by the question, which she called ‘a very good one.’

As his father owns The Spectator, at least I don’t have to worry about his access to a good lawyer when he gets back to Labour Land.





I’m not sure how they’re going to pay for all the handouts when everyone who used to foot the bill and who could leave…has.

Who does Labour take from then?
