    Fun fact: Those hotels aren’t exactly giving their “best deals” either. They (or the companies managing them) are charging the government £140 per night for rooms that would normally be less than half of that, or wouldn’t be used at all because they’re not up to standard.

    The anger for some reason is directed at the people “just trying to live” and not at the companies deliberately doubling their prices to steal from the country.

      There’s a similar thing in homelessness. Landlords are taking £900/m from the councils per person in 4+ people homes with barely working utilities and health and safety violations.
