Hotel owner nicknamed ‘Goldfinger’ rakes in £60,000 a month putting up migrants.
Abid Gulzar, 78, can house up to 100 migrants in his Eastbourne country house
He is set to make over £700,000 of taxpayers’ money a year housing migrants
The huge cost to the public purse has sparked some controversy
A controversial hotelier dubbed ‘Goldfinger’ is raking in up to £60,000 a month housing migrants.
Abid Gulzar has handed over his 45-room country house hotel near Eastbourne to accommodate up to 100 migrants.
The Indian-born 78-year-old, who owns three gold Teslas and wears large gold rings, stands to make more than £700,000 of taxpayers’ money a year housing migrants. And he says both his other hotels – the Mansion Lions and Albany Lions in Eastbourne – are also up for grabs if the Government wants them.
In the last six weeks up to 100 migrants have been placed in Mr Gulzar’s Boship Hotel. He said: ‘The hotel trade is really suffering… what else are we supposed to do? No one is coming to stay any more.’
Mr Gulzar prompted controversy when he painted the traditional domes on Grade II*-listed Eastbourne pier in gold, earning himself the moniker Goldfinger. He also owns Hastings pier.
In 2019 his businesses, Mansion Lions Hotel Ltd and Albany Lions Hotel Ltd, were fined £4,000 each for failing to pay tax contributions. And in 2013 he was fined £45,000, with £90,000 in costs, after being found guilty of damaging a protected conservation site in Pevensey.
He added: ‘The Boships was closed for two years during Covid and now we have a recession. No-one has any money to spend.
‘I’d only recently reopened Boships and when the Government came knocking we had to refund some people who had bookings.’
He said his staff had placed two single beds in each of the 45 rooms to accommodate two migrants per room.
He said: ‘They are mostly men but there are a few women who have travelled over from France.
You need you have need to have a consent to record but okay ask the police if I need consent no I don’t know you can just walk in without us telling who you are what you are what it is I condemn you if you show I will take action against you okay
So I walked over to where your car is to get a view of the whole place it’s quite beautiful yes then the people we’re at Bish BOS Lion’s Farm down near eastborn um the guy that owns this Farm that’s his car there uh it’s a special gold
Car yeah the guy that owns this Farm is uh rented out to Asylum Seekers and he owns a lot of the hotels down in eastborn and he also owns the eastborn and Brighton Pier so what we’re going to do we’re going to try and find a way into this
Place uh have a look around see what happens so we’re going to try and find a different way into this Farm rather than the main door as usual if we can’t find a way in we’re going to walk straight in the main door beautiful beautiful place right on the island
Here got a Travel Lodge on the island as well Travel Lodge service station Starbucks and a Shell Petrol and a Gregs but the guy that owns this place is supposed to be quite a aggressive guy quite a well-known character he’s had some problems in the past he’s been
In the media for different things so can imagine if we go in there and he comes out it’s probably going to be a bit of drama I would say um I him I am uh so we’re going to keep walking around here see we can find any way in I don’t
Think we’re going to find a way in around here but we’ll have a look if not let’s get the video going again just to show people so we just uh came into a different Farm driveway next door and it’s still still fenced off at the moment I don’t
Think we’re going to find a way around here but we’ll have a little look if not as I say we’re going to walk in the uh front doors got barbed wire fences here [Applause] oh yeah who’s that [Applause] doesn’t yeah so we couldn’t find a way in right

The gate if you want me to okay any want put my phone away all right what it is you’ve been more than polite today we make videos on all hotels I understand you’re closed there a proper way to do it the thing is ask permission if we do that they never let
Us that carpet treatment but the way you doing it is the wrong way if we ask permission usually they say no that’s the problem no they won’t you some do some do no but some do you if you tell us the purpose we’ll talk to you yeah
Two there’s two purposes you know you not Sherlock Homes you’re doing resarch why don’t you do things properly so the purpose of the video one is to advertise your business that’s one purpose yeah we don’t want you to do that it’s free advertisement No it should hundreds upon thousands of people
Will see this video much better if you come and talk properly and take permission and you’ll get a much better treatment you’re a very civil person but a lot of these Hotel people they’re not that’s the difference right because you surprise them you surprise them and why because you’re not taking you’re not
Behaving the collect we’ve we’ve written asking for permission to many hotels and they always ignore us or say no they said no because usually they expect people to come and cause a problem we don’t do that we come we film we leave we don’t aggravate people we don’t try
To that’s very wrong what’s the name of your company you have your DJ DJ media have your card no nothing on me okay very often we get searched so so you can’t identify yourself I can give you my email address DJ media sorry I can give you the email address if you want
To check it out you can email us for a copy of the video if you want to no okay I mean the prop is introduce yourself find out what you want to do and perhaps you guys would have been civil but usually they’re not no I think you would have been
Reasonable if we’ have asked you first I don’t think so if if you if you are a genuine person you want to do something do it in a proper manner a please tell Mr Abid we didn’t cause to we didn’t mean to upset him today okay he upset
His I didn’t mean to okay no hard feelings guys all right we’re going bye-bye we’re finished guys we’re finished yeah we’re finished we’re finished can I give you guys can I just give you guys one um one thing I want to say what other people
Sorry the sun’s in my eyes guys can you come this side I can’t see mate right what it is I’m not walking until I’ve told you what I’m telling you right listen listen what when we when we drove past here we didn’t see no security right listen there is a security you
Please pass property you didn’t see security I just give you guys some advice put a security near the gate cuz other people may come to do the same thing and you can stop them straight away that’s all I’m saying to you you understand I was already in before you
Private property yes but the gate was open the gate was open the parking the gate was open right open ah so this is this is public car park or no this is not the public private what I’m saying is if you guys were here people can’t

What kind of business employs an army of thugs ????
Why do you be nice to these immigrants you need to ask the questions like have they I D and how did they get into OURR country
This Abid thing – I do wonder if his R. E. Lee is also gold-plated … I mean, what's left of it…
Wonder who paid for the car
Atul Patak 43 McDonald's London
Hi powered motorbike parked in decabled bay.
No one says knacker all about that.
Security my fat hairy arse.
Some hotels are on contract to the home office till 2019
Need a few irish lads to take a look
and all this is payed by the tax payer BS the people in the uk need to wake up
We, the tax payers are paying for that nice car think of that
To be honest the car looks tacky,
This hotel still taking guests. Comment/review on trip advisor says guest, “ felt intimidated by people hanging around the entrance on arrival and departure, and litter all over the place”! So they have guests AND migrants? 😜 interesting they might even be conning the tax payer here, by selling rooms normally and claiming money from the government.
WOW it is as bad as they say!! Is this england anymore???? Or the middle east? Let me guess who has to pay for it. FYI sure the hell it is not the royals!!!
Why don’t you say the British tax payer is paying for this ?and as you are a British taxpayer you are entitled to know how your money is being spent,you sound like you are sucking up to them.
It’s all ok moaning…but what are we going to do about it…our country has been taken over by globalists who only care about themselves and their friends…you need to ask yourselves why is this being encouraged by our government…is there an agenda being played out to destroy our culture and traditions maybe?
Bloody NPC goons, they need to update their dialogue options.
What is it that makes them poop their pants when someone with a camera appears on the scene? More to the point, what are they hiding?
come on it looks interesting i want film there 6:04
how would they like it if they wanted to film something beautiful and interesting and then someone says you're not allowed
why do they care so much?
Go away you have no authority over a British subject in his own country these security Guards are only to secure the Inmates inside the Hotel not in public areas outside
Leave the area- I didn’t like that from the police
Could someone explain why we are putting all these immigrants in such nive hotels while were leaving are british people homeless??!!
I just love watching how you really piss the security guards off. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Corrupt British govrnment protecting these fake Asylum – Seekers
These guys are sat chilling next to a fountain in the sun whilst we have 350,000 identified homeless and probably over 500,000 unidentified in the UK … it’s mad 😢 people sat wet in doorways or tents and then you see this .. makes me sick
That wasn’t the police on the phone. Wasting police time in a high crime rate area, not that they dam well police the dealing in this country.
He hire thugs
I'd remind abid where he's getting his money from. What idiots still wearing masks in public.
nice to know what my tax money is going on and were in dier shit in this country
Such a lovely hotel, but I guess our idiots in government pay more to keep Asylum seekers than the people trying to have weddings and functions. You can clearly see that he also employs from within his own community, probably cheaper than the other staff he let go. Like it, or loathe it, it's good business.
