That's the latest I've seen.

The Copthorne at Culverhouse Cross has been officially closed since last year. They fired all their kitchen staff to make way for foreign chefs that can accommodate a foreign menu.

Not bullshit either, I saw a few people at the time on twitter complaining that they knew of people that had been fired.

Fecking disgusting stuff.

That's an invalid link

Eh?
It works perfectly sludge. If not for you then Google "Wales online immigrant hotel", that will bring the link up.

By the way, the hotel in the article is NOT the Copthorne. The Copthorne has been closed because of immigrants for a long time.

This one is more recent. They won't name it, but it's the 3rd I've heard of.

Another hotel in Cardiff is being used to accommodate 'the unprecedented amount of asylum seekers', the staff have been given a few days notice.

Cardiff is a home office refugee and asylum seekers centre

Now wether it should be or people have objections to that is a different matter

Cardiff Council will have statutory duties to provide advice , assistance and in some cases temporary accommodation

If they are taking illegal measures to do this then that's one for the authorities to investigate

As for the increase in demand for accommodation and services then that's going to reflect the situation across the country

I have googled what you said and it appears to be referring to a hotel in tongwynlais and local residents being extremely pissed off by leaflets being distributed by a far right group

If people have been sacked from their jobs in order to bring in new staff to cook food for new arrivals that's something for the employment courts because chefs can easily cook for people with religious or ethnic needs

I don't have any issue with these people being cooked food suitable for their culture though

Some of the comments on that Wales online make me ashamed to be Welsh, they are better off living in 1930s nazi Germany

Tongwynlais is a separate one I believe, before this latest one, which they've refused to name. This one is the third I'm aware of and is not the Copthorne which was taken over some time ago.

Bear in mind, local people have to fight for "floor space" at the Huggard Centre. They are made to sleep there for months, among junkies and alcoholics who regularly cause problems, or lose their chance of a room in a shitty hostel some time in the future. Would you consider this acceptable?

It's not a right-wing thing Sludge, so there's no need to lean so far left on this.
It's simply a disgraceful situation introduced and endorsed by a Tory government.

There will be loads of issues coming together here, but I am not surprised some ill thought out Welsh Govt law is behind it at all.

Yep they have driven a load of landlords out and now there is a shortage of rooms. Had a room in a house I have become available last week, reckon I had 50 enquires that day….as I was responding they just kept coming. Some offering me way more than what I was.
Well done the WAG….Just what the hell they are trying to do who knows

Re: The growing crisis facing Cardiff's rental market with landlords selling up and 100 people fighting for every property

If we hadn't sold millions of feckin council houses there wouldn't have been the need for so many landlords .....who are there to make money ....in the first place

Yep cardiff council sold many off

I worked in homeless provision in Cardiff. People with housing problems are rarely homeless without any other problems

Drug , alcohol abuse , mental health problems generally go hand in hand

It's far from perfect that people who find themselves homeless are forced to put up with violence and abuse and alcohol and drug taking and intimidation .......but its part of the package unfortunately, its all very complex and I don't know anyone who would think it's a satisfactory situation

This thing certainly is a political issue , the comments on that Wales online are appalling . Give them a read and tell me its not right wing ?

White Patriot groups sticking leaflets through letterboxes trying to whip up hatred ?

Read the report you asked me to Google and tell me if you think comments made are not offensive and racist ?

Re: The growing crisis facing Cardiff's rental market with landlords selling up and 100 people fighting for every property

Yep cardiff council sold many off

They had no choice

Maggie Thatcher gave people the legal right to buy council houses

The council didn't actively sell them

The people in these houses made a decision to buy their house .......and the council had to sell it to them

No choice

Sludge, as I pointed out earlier, the article I was referring to wasn't the Tongwynlais one that you've since referred to.
I can't say I've read the comments on any of them. There are clearly many brain-dead cavemen that respond to Wales Online articles, you know that as well as I do.

The comments have nothing to do with the point being made, which is a simple one.

Our own people are being treated like shit, while immigrants are living in plush hotels and are treated like royalty by comparison. I won't ask you again if you agree whether that is right, because you'd clearly prefer to bat it off towards the politicians.

I'm quite prepared to say that I not only think it's disgusting, but utterly unacceptable.

But there we go, the Tories like ticking boxes whilst destroying what's left of "great" Britain, as we both know.

If there were no landlords the housing crisis would be a lot worse.

Ahahhahahaha

You are using very odd language like .....our own people ......I really can't be engaging with you on this matter I am afraid
