Illegal migrants are being handed huge discounts on Britain’s most beloved tourist attractions – while British families are made to pay full price.<\/p>\n

A bombshell new report has unearthed 21 attractions which either offer free or heavily cut-price days out for asylum seekers.<\/p>\n

These include London’s Kew Gardens, Bath’s Roman Baths, Canterbury Cathedral and more.<\/p>\n

While buying one adult ticket for each venue would set a Briton back \u00a3337, a migrant would end up paying just \u00a328, The Sun found.<\/p>\n

Migrants use an Application Registration Card from the Home Office to unlock the door to renowned days out.<\/p>\n

At Canterbury Cathedral, the card lets new arrivals gain free entry where an adult would have to fork out \u00a318.50.<\/p>\n

The same goes for the famous ancient baths, where migrants go free and locals can pay up to \u00a333.<\/p>\n

Kew Gardens, meanwhile, will open its doors to illegal migrants for 85p while most other visitors must pay \u00a324.50.<\/p>\n

Across the land, hard-working families also face entry costs to museums and theatres in cities like Bristol, Nottingham and Oxford where asylum seekers do not.<\/p>\n

“This is yet more proof that we live in a two-tier society that prioritises illegal migrants over British citizens,” said Rob Bates of the Centre for Migration Control.<\/p>\n

“The chance to enjoy a subsidised summer of fun is yet another reason why migrants are choosing to break into our country.<\/p>\n

“These kinds of pull factors need to end if we want the boats to stop.<\/p>\n

“Channel migrants enjoy free days out and perks, whilst the British taxpayer is forced to pay through the nose to access their own country\u2019s cultural sites.”<\/p>\n

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp added: “It is so unfair. Why should asylum seekers get freebies at the expense of the taxpayer?<\/p>\n

“We must leave the ECHR so we can deport all illegal immigrants within a week of arrival.<\/p>\n

“It is a shame the Labour Government is too weak to do this.”<\/p>\n

It comes just months after GB News exposed how benefits claimants are also being offered discounted tickets to top attractions<\/a> – but are snubbing them.<\/p>\n

Within the last year alone, millions of pounds has been offered up in savings to those claiming on the state, GB News analysis has found.<\/p>\n

More than 24.3 million people claim some combination of DWP handouts, but historic tourist attractions like the Tower of London only issued a few thousand discounted tickets.<\/p>\n

Like Mr Bates, William Yarwood, the campaigns director at the Taxpayers’ Alliance, told GB News how this marked “yet another example of a growing two-tier Britain where those paying in increasingly feel they get less back than those drawing from the system”.<\/p>\n

“Ministers need to put an end to these endless perks and discounts,” he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Illegal migrants are being handed huge discounts on Britain’s most beloved tourist attractions – while British families are…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":745969,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,285,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-745968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-migrant-crisis","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/745968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=745968"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/745968\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/745969"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=745968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=745968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=745968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
