Gary Allen sums up the problem.
In Skegness, Lincolnshire, Gary is just one of a number of business owners to share that 2025 has been an exceptionally hard year.
He has decided to sell up and claimed the housing of asylum seekers in some hotels in the town has deterred people from visiting.
“We lost loads of business, loads of people cancelled,” Gary said. “[Skegness] has been a holiday destination for decades and then all of a sudden you chuck 500 young males in. It just destroyed the place.
“People are put off by it, it doesn’t matter how many times people try and sugarcoat it, they are the cold hard facts.”
He added: “A lot of people have made a lot of money out of the illegal immigrants, the hotels etc. but we want to be part of the solution, not part of the problem, which is why we turned it down.”
Gary has already closed the 29-room hotel part of his business but is continuing to welcome guests in the bar.
Calling time on his business rather than accept the moolah cannot have been easy. However, it was the ethically right one. Once he leaves the business, will the new owners be tempted, I wonder? Not least, given the problems he mentions. Nowhere is safe from the influx of diversity, and I’ve encountered a few myself. They have an attitude, one that you can see as they swagger towards you, one you can see as they treat you as if you are some sort of servant. To be fair, when we refused to issue a CBT or even begin training, the attitude did change. Then we got the pleading, the whining eventually, the anger and sometimes the attempted bribing. On some occasions we had to threaten to call the police and lock the gate to stop them coming back in and disrupting our day. Believe me when I say that ‘no’ is not a word they take easily. I for one, became sick of it. The colleagues I worked with for two years coping with it have all gone and for the same reason, none of us wanted to deal with these people.
The invaders are not a benefit to this country. Gary Allen is a good man who made a decision for the good, rather than to enrich himself. But those of us who refuse to assist are but a drop in the ocean. The hordes are still invading.
It depends on your financial situation and your attachments. Not everyone is prepared to sacrifice their family life or financial situation especially when the people they are making the sacrifice for are all for these invaders.
Sometimes it is best to keep your head down and bide your time. Opportunities will arise and then we can get involved.
Yes, of course. This man has decided to get out, and I don’t blame him. He could have taken the money. That would have been the easy option.
Good for him! If only more were prepared to take a sort term loss and look to the future!
Kudos to this very brave man, willing to make sacrifices for his principles. Unfortunately, for every one such person, there are shed loads just looking at the money offered. I read somewhere that, instead of employing contractors to seek out hotel owners to rent their hotel to house the small boat invaders, the Home Office is considering buying the hotels themselves, using tax payers money of course, and converting them into HMOs. If this is true, it shows that the current bunch of numpties are going to allow this invasion to continue for some time. How much do these people hate this country and have contempt for it’s citizens? There are not enough lamp posts and not enough piano wire.
Skegness is so breaking.
Imagine that jolly fisherman being pursued by Skeggy’s new guests.
Ethical dilemma it is not … he could not continue, correct decision … staying alive dilemma it is for him. And on top of that, someone buying it … well I think you know who would, what sort of person … conglomerate, PPP, all for invader hotels … and where does that leave tourism in that town? Virtually forever. Let alone indigenous residents for eons.
Globopsycho Marxists are complete and utter bstds, hating humanity per se.
Send the buggers to Mablethorpe: then they’ll know how cruel we can be . . .
I think that our spending power can be like a second string of democracy, voting with our wallets so to speak. The recent post about the Co-op is an example. This is like the converse, the guy is making a stand by refusing to accept government money on principle. I’m hoping that there might be some poetic justice further down the line. If the government money dries up and the tourist trade has also dried up due to people’s reluctance to holiday in a place infested with undesirables, those who lacked his principles could well end up broke.
