The UK is hitting new lows as former armed forces veterans who have served the United Kingdom are being “evicted without reason” from their homes in Bolton.
Bolton has a very high number of refugees and asylum seekers compared to the rest of the UK, and in the first three months of the year more than 1,000 arrived there, according to Home Office figures.
A British veteran Andy Scott told GB News that more than 10 former armed forces members were handed eviction papers by Bolton Council ordering them to leave by September.
They blasted the abysmal ongoing migrant crisis and how asylum seekers are being treated in comparison to taxpaying Brits.
The veterans gave a scathing attack on “abysmal Britain” who never arrived in Britain on “a small boat” and have paid taxes and have put their lives on the line for the UK.

Scott told GB News, “We all got served the eviction notice a couple of weeks ago. No explanation, nothing.
“They told us that we’re out by September with no help to get any other properties, nothing at all. We’re supposed to be in supported accommodation, we’ve all got PTSD, and they’ve done nothing, nothing whatsoever for us.”
Scott warned that all 12 veterans will be “made homeless” when Bolton Council kicks them out of their accommodation.
He asked, “what’s the reason for it, and they didn’t have an answer. I asked them what they’ve got in place for us if we do get evicted, they still didn’t have an answer. They said we’ve got two months to do whatever.
The stress levels in this building with all the boys and girls in here is just so high at the moment. I’m 53, if I get made homeless, I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’ve got no family now, so I’m going to be stuck.”
He said there is a lack of support for British veterans and they are receiving “nothing” even though they served for Queen and country.
His rightfully angry, he said, “It’s just all very stressful at the moment. We’ve all got PTSD, and the place itself that we’re living in is an absolute mess. It’s not been cleaned, they don’t decorate.
“We’re living in an absolute horrible situation and now they’re trying to throw us out. They’re supposed to be here supporting us, we’re getting no answers off nobody. We’re getting nothing.
“We are veterans, We’ve not come over here in a boat, we’ve served our country and we’re getting nothing.”
He added, “The country is abysmal at the moment, and it doesn’t seem that they care.
“But if you come across on a dinghy without a passport, there’s a hotel, there’s money, you do whatever you want.
“They haven’t got a clue who they’re letting in the country. We are veterans, we’re part of the country and we’ve got no rights. We’ve got nothing.”
Councillor Trevor Jones told GB News, “I was honoured to come and help them. These lads have put their lives on the line for the country, and this is how they’re treated, it’s absolutely abysmal, it’s horrible, and I couldn’t wait to get involved.
Bolton Council said in a statement, “We share the concerns that have been raised after Qualitas Housing issued Section 21 notices to armed forces veterans living at Constellation House in Farnworth.
“We are in discussions with the housing provider to resolve this matter. The council is also in the process of contacting the tenants to offer the full support of our Housing Options and Advice team.”
