More Than Half of UK Foreign Aid Budget Now Being Spent on ‘Refugees’ in Britain

The UK is now housing so many asylum seekers that more than half of the country’s foreign aid budget is spent in Britain.

Data released by the Foreign Office data on Wednesday shows that the UK spent £9.9 billion in bilateral aid in 2023, with 54 per cent of this being used domestically, up from 48 per cent the previous year.

Money that is supposed to be reserved to help poorer countries alleviate poverty and respond to humanitarian disasters is being spent in the UK because the country is brining in so many “refugees,” the vast majority of whom are actually economic migrants.

With the cost of housing asylum seekers in hotel accommodation, some in 4 star hotels in prime tourist locations, running at a whopping £8 million pounds a day, the amount of foreign aid being given to poorer nations has feel by 10 per cent.

Sarah Champion, chairman of the international development committee, said the figures were “deeply worrying,” while Gideon Rabinowitz, director of policy and advocacy at Bond, said the numbers showed that “the Government seems to have lost its grip on UK aid spending.”

As we highlight in the video above, some of this money is being spent on allowing literal criminals to stay in the UK because they might face consequences for their actions if sent home.

A 31-year-old Afghan asylum seeker was granted the right to remain in the UK despite being convicted for “outraging public decency and exposure” and put on a sex offenders’ register for 7 years.

Despite the fact that the man continued to act “inappropriately” around women, lawyers successfully argued he should stay in the UK because if sent back to Afghanistan, his “risky behaviours” would expose him to “ill treatment”and “mob violence.”

In other words, he wasn’t granted asylum despite being a sex offender, he was granted asylum because he was a sex offender.

Despite him being treated as a threat to the public, the migrant won his case because his “strong likelihood of sexually disinhibited behaviour” in Afghanistan “would lead to serious harm” and impact his mental health.

“The tribunal ruled that the Afghan’s mental health condition was sufficiently established to justify his inclusion in a “protected” group, thus securing his right to asylum in the UK,” reports the Telegraph.

Clapham chemical attacker Abdul Ezedi was also granted refugee status despite a conviction and suspended jail sentence for two offences of sexual assault and exposure.
