Not only Texas
Quiet little UK village 'ruined' by asylum seekers screaming 'Allah Allah' at locals
A quaint English village now hosts asylum seekers in its 'boutique hotel' - and local people are at their wits end.

A four-star hotel in the picture postcard village of Datchet near
Windsor has opened its doors to
asylum seekers who allegedly scream "Allah, Allah" and "Muslim is good" at locals. Residents claim the migrants are committing acts of racism and theft after being put up in the Manor Hotel at taxpayers’ expense.
A local shopkeeper, Abhi, 24, who came to the UK years ago from India, claims some of the asylum seekers from Pakistan and Afghanistan abuse him while he works. He told
The Times: "They abuse me because I’m from India and I’m Hindu. "They come in and shout ‘Muslim is good, Allah Allah’. They come in and say, ‘Indians are not good, f*** Hinduism’. It’s f***ing bad. They’re always coming in, taking food, [they] don’t pay. I personally hate it."
The "boutique" 54-room hotel sits in the centre of the village, just a ten-minute stroll from
Prince William and Princess Kate's Adelaide Cottage.
It was one of six additional hotels being used to accommodate asylum seekers since Labour formed a government in July 2024. That's despite the Prime Minister's pledge to "smash the people smuggling gangs" that ferry migrants across the English Channel. More than 38,000 are in hotels across the country at a cost of £5.5 million per day.
To make matters worse for Labour, 6,796 migrants have crossed the Channel this year, the
most since records began in 2018.
Irene Husbands, 91, had her wedding reception at the hotel in 1962 but said asylum seekers being housed there tarnishes the memory.
“It shouldn’t be allowed. The hotel’s making a nice lot of money, aren’t they, because the government pays them.”
Despite the hotel being paid to house the migrants, other local firms are struggling as a result. Cheryl Bohdjalian, 58, who owns the Nibbles cafe over the road from the hotel, says business has dried up since guests stopped being admitted to the Manor Hotel.
She told the paper: “We used to get normal hotel guests coming in for breakfast or lunches, that sort of thing. But they [the asylum seekers] don’t contribute anything at all to the village."
A Home Office representative said: "We are delivering on our pledge to close asylum hotels, which will drastically reduce taxpayer costs and give control back to local communities.
"The asylum system ground to a standstill under the last government, but we are reversing that damage by fixing the foundations of our immigration system. We have increased asylum decision-making by 52 per cent in the last three months of 2024 and removed more than 24,000 people with no right to be here."
