A Pakistani taxi driver who has lived legally in the UK for two years spoke out about what he calls wasteful spending on transporting refugees. He told British right-wing activist Tommy Robinson this during a protest in Braintree, while driving him in his cab. The driver said, "Yes. 100 people working there. Yeah, people are living there. They do nothing," referring to the Wetherfield refugee centre. He explained how taxis carry refugees across England, sometimes charging up to £300 per trip, even when passengers go to the same place. "I picked one guy from Wetherfield and dropped off in Dover. Same guy with my company, they picked other guy from same place, going to same place. Why they booked two cabs for two persons? No, it's no sense to waste money like this," he said. Robinson posted the driver’s footage on X, highlighting claims of repeated journeys and high costs paid by taxpayers. "Sometimes, the fares up to £300 a time, even when they're going to the same hotels, they're given their own taxis, all paid for by YOU," Robinson wrote. The driver also shared his own work challenges. "Eight hours, 10 hours… 10 hours a day. Per day, yeah," he said. Sometimes he works longer due to a lack of steady jobs. He contrasted his long work hours with what he sees as inactivity at the refugee centre. "They need to do something. Yeah. Like, uh, they take everything. Everything," he said. The driver described further waste in the refugee resettlement system. "All over England, all the refugees. First come Braintree, Wetherfield. Two, three months, after three months, they give them apartments far away from Braintree. And they live there for one, two months. Apartment finished, new person come. All the furniture waste, new furniture come for new people. Ah. Crazy." Robinson used these comments to show what he calls misused taxpayer money. The driver added, "Horrendous. It doesn't matter like, because I'm paying taxes. You are paying taxes. We are both equal in same right. So something happened to me, this code, this law, this country."
