A former caravan park owner and disco tycoon from Canvey Island, Essex,
made over £90m last year from lucrative Home Office government contracts,
housing asylum seekers.
Graham King of Clear Springs Ready Homes, who houses migrants in hotels, unused military barracks and flats, is on course to become the first immigration industry billionaire. According to The Times, a company report shows that it made a profit of £91.2 million last year and paid £90 million in dividends to a company controlled by King, "mainly to the provision of accommodation, support and transport to asylum seekers."
King who is estimated to have a personal net worth of £750 million was catapulted onto Britain's rich list, after cashing in on the flood of recent migrant arrivals into Britain. Clear Springs had an income increase of £400 million in just 12 months. The 57-year-old, "migrant hotel king", and slum landlord, was ranked as the 173rd richest person in Britain in the Sunday Times Rich List for 2024. The British taxpayer is paying King £8 million per day to house asylum seekers.
In 2021, two of Clear Springs sites in Wales and Kent, were described has being 'decrepit, 'impoverished' and 'run-down'. Inspectors described one of the sites, Penally Camp in Wales, as 'decrepit' and filthy. Inspectors claimed that around a third of the residents who were consulted claimed to have mental health issues and declared there had been "fundamental failures of leadership and planning." In 2023, 70 people, including children, slept outside two Clear Springs-run hotels in the capital after claiming they had been put in small rooms without enough beds.
Having made a fortune out of the British taxpayer who are paying to accommodate asylum seekers, Graham King has been able to fund his family's "globe-trotting holidays and Alpine ski trips." He's been able to privately educate his son and daughter at a "£44,000-a-year boarding school." King's daughter, Catalina, who is studying to be an artist, is selling £10 prints which bear the slogan, "Will trade racists for refugees
Talking about kings. I trust that you have seen the Sunday Times investigation into Charlie boy and his parasite son. Raking in money from public services, including the NHS, from their Duchy titles. What kind of country are we living in where, someone who inherited a title, is taking over 50 million pounds per year from privileges acquired 100's of years ago. There are still some morons who are defending their rights to these incomes. I fucking give up!!!!!!!!!!
