THERE was anger yesterday after an NHS letter found outside an asylum hotel revealed that migrants are entitled to free wigs.
The document — addressed to a migrant at the Derby hotel — told how he and his partner were able to access free NHS sight tests prescriptions, dental treatment, glasses, wigs and fabric supports.
Local retired machine worker Paul Davies, 67, insisted: “They’re getting more benefits than we do.
“I have to pay for my own dental treatment and prescriptions.”
It comes as a brazen migrant was pictured holding an expensive smartphone to film himself on a dinghy leaving France for the UK.
The stowaway — in a cap and with an orange lifejacket — raised his arms in apparent celebration as the small boat left Gravelines, near Dunkirk, for the perilous journey.
He was at the front of a dinghy packed with 40 to 50 men which left yesterday morning.
Others on board appeared to sign the V for Victory salutes. Figures showed 585 migrants arrived on Sunday, taking this year’s total to over 19,000.
An onlooker said: “It was shocking to see one appearing to film it or take selfies.”
Reform MP Lee Anderson said: “This shows migrants acting brazenly and effectively giving us the V-sign.”
Experts fear the weather this week may bring small boat arrivals in 2025 to 20,000.
