The list of discounts for illegal immigrants is jaw-dropping, says Patrick Christys

Illegal immigrants are getting discounted beach holiday huts and even discounted hypotherapuy for stress relief.According to the National Audit Office, the cost of housing asylum seekers is set to hit a staggering £15.3 billion over the next decade.But does that figure take into account the endless stream of freebies and discounts handed out to them while they're put up in hotels across the country? Because the list is jaw-dropping.Wandsworth Council is offering money off pottery classes and pantomime tickets.And in Birmingham, the same Birmingham City Council that declared itself effectively bankrupt last year, asylum seekers are offered discounts on trampolining and martial arts.Meanwhile, in Wakefield, according to Zia Yusuf, head of Reform UK’s Department of Government Efficiency, taxpayers are footing the bill for so-called “inclusion workshops.” In Portsmouth, asylum seekers are being offered 40 per cent off beach hut hires and 10 per cent off Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. In the London borough of Richmond, they get free access to gyms, exercise classes and more. Meanwhile, people on benefits and carers are made to pay 40 per cent of the cost.On top of that, asylum seekers can bag discounts on pilates, French and Spanish lessons, paddle boarding, kayaking and even hypnosis for stress relief.All of this, remember, is at a time when hard-working Brits are being squeezed with higher bills, higher taxes, and fewer services.As you've seen, I was at the Bell Hotel earlier, and the sentiment was clear. Many people feel these benefits and support should be redirected to veterans, pensioners, and others who have paid into the system.Meanwhile, Rachel Reeves is taxing you for every last penny.
