The town of Farnborough in the UK is facing protests as the Home Office plans to house up to 350 illegal migrants in luxury flats. Local residents and politicians, including Leo Docherty and Rushmoor Council, have expressed opposition to the plan. The council's purchase of an office conversion to flats, possibly funded by the Local Housing Authority Fund, has sparked outrage. The community is protesting against the use of taxpayer funds, including £750 million allocated by Minister Michael Gove, for housing migrants. The protests reflect the sentiment that Britain is unable to accommodate more migrants, with locals expressing discontent over the allocation of luxury flats for this purpose.
