A North-South divide has opened up in the UK's "broken" asylum system, with towns and cities in Northern England and Scotland taking in far more asylum seekers than other parts of the country.
The North East is housing a larger proportion of people fleeing persecution than any other region of the UK, with a rate TEN TIMES higher than the South East and South West.
Cities in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the North of England are hosting far higher rates of asylum seekers in 'dispersed accommodation' like hotels, compared to those in the South.
