@94caf711 And the "migration crisis". 85+% of asylum claims succeed, but there's money to be made with a convoluted overloaded bureaucracy and a need to house the poor folks stuck in limbo.

Public money handed over to landlords, hoteliers and consulting firms, and a ready-made scapegoat to distract attention from utter ministerial incompetence. An absolute twofer! What's not to like?
