Original Note:
The post is incorrect. While true that some asylum seekers (claims delayed >1yr) are allowed to work in some shortage occupations, they have to contribute to food & lodgings if wages exceed a set amount so hotels are not free, & food & lodging not fully funded by taxpayers. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/01/19/channel-migrants-given-right-to-work/ https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/handling-applications-for-permission-to-take-employment-instruction/permission-to-work-and-volunteering-for-asylum-seekers-accessible https://www.london.gov.uk/programmes-strategies/communities-and-social-justice/migrants-and-refugees/faq-about-refugees-and-people-seeking-asylum-london
