I am 65 and I spent several holidays at Saltdean as a care assistant to residents from a care home in Merstham.

When I retired after the death of my husband in 1991, I had several holidays there for which I paid.

Can I now have a free holiday there as I am paying tax for the asylum-seekers who will be put up there?

What about the homeless and the people who live with several children in a one-bedroom B&B? I was taught charity begins at home.

My granddaughter-in-law came to England several years ago to get away from persecution in Romania. I know people in Surrey and Sussex who have been on housing lists for years but are pushed to the back as the asylum-seekers seem to get first choice.
