An Essex council leader walked into an asylum accommodation site expecting one thing and came out describing what he saw as ‘more akin to a holiday camp’.

Essex County Council leader Peter Harris said he was aghast by what he saw during a tour of RAF Wethersfield, which is being used to house asylum seekers.

Holiday Camp for Illegals

Speaking on GB News, Harris described full-sized football pitches, fully equipped gyms, fitness rooms and an indoor sports hall where residents play cricket and basketball.

He also said martial arts instructors were brought in, and that one resident was a UFC fighter who was training at the site.

Harris described the facilities as ‘fantastic’. He added that they were facilities many sports clubs would love to have right the way through the country.

Fantastic Dining

The council leader also spoke about the dining facilities, saying there was a choice of menus and ‘fantastic fresh food’.

He said the accommodation included rooms with two or three beds, while newer units being built as part of an expansion were ‘brand spanking new’.

Most Migrants fast asleep

Harris was told around 800 migrants were living at the site, although he said he only saw around 150 during his visit.

He was reportedly told many of the others were still in their rooms because they like to get up later, while others had been taken into town by bus.

Total Free healthcare

He also described a medical center staffed by GPs and nurses, which asylum seekers could access at any time.

Harris said he arrived at 9.30am but was not allowed into the facility until 10am, when many residents were still in bed.  Let readers know what you think
