and asylum seekers in hotels &#8211; are problems, I hold a slightly different view.<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion the small boats and asylum seekers are only two symptoms arising from the far greater problem of governments failing to act on a global scale.\u00a0 The unwillingness (or inability) of national governments &#8211; working together &#8211; to consider, to agree and to take effective action is a real problem that has not only been evident but also inviting ever-increasing mass migration for decades?\u00a0 Strengthening borders, targeting smugglers and sending people home cannot be sufficient to stem the flow.\u00a0 Surely there is an urgent need to adjust the balance of those forces that drive a person or family to leave their own country &#8211; rather than attract them to stay?\u00a0 And that applies as much at home as abroad.<\/p>\n<p>END<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is reported that there are over 30,000 asylum seekers in UK hotels (June 2025).\u00a0 You may wish to know that early this morning a coach arrived at the Manor Hotel in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2437","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Asylum seekers in hotels - the real problem. - DHWNEWS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/dhwnews.com\/?p=2437\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Asylum seekers in hotels - the real problem. - DHWNEWS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"It is reported that there are over 30,000 asylum seekers in UK hotels (June 2025).\u00a0 You may wish to know that early this morning a coach arrived at the Manor Hotel in...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/dhwnews.com\/?p=2437\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"DHWNEWS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-08-30T22:53:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-08-30T22:53:31+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/dhwnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_0041-scaled.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2560\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1707\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"ecwlarcombe\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"ecwlarcombe\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/dhwnews.com\\\/?p=2437#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/dhwnews.com\\\/?p=2437\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"ecwlarcombe\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/dhwnews.com\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/2f696cd1eb9c322931f8d0e39fdf8017\"},\"headline\":\"Asylum seekers in hotels &#8211;
