London Borough Offering Half Price Squash and Badminton Lessons to Asylum Seekers

Yesterday Guido revealed Richmond council was offering free swimming and gym lessons to asylum seekers. They’re not the only tax-hiking council to offer freebies…

Kingston council is offering a raft of discounts on sports for asylum seekers. As part of the council’s “Active Kingston” scheme to “create an inclusive environment,” if you are a care worker, on benefits, a pensioner or an asylum seeker, you get:

• 50% off badminton.
• 50% off group fitness classes.
• 50% off squash.
• 50% off tennis.
• 50% off racquet.

This scheme is funded by the council – which hiked council tax by 5% this year. Is it any wonder small boat crossings are up 50% on last year?
