"Unpresidented" reforms to UK migration !
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
And there has been no actually enacted new Government. Policy. Sunak’s own statement on a drop in channel crossings was shot down by an ITV reporter who pointed out that the single month decline was almost entirely due to month long high winds and high seas in the channel. The Government can’t even get their lies right. -
You’re one of the lucky ones, others not so. Most people spent most of not all of their money. Money they receive gets spent, taxes are paid, businesses sell goods and services, businesses expand, people get employed, they get paid, more taxes are paid, they spend money and it goes around again. Time to give putting money at the bottom of the economy a go. 40+ years of ‘trickle down economics’ has done nothing but strip wealth from the working and middle classes while feeding it to the already wealthy.

He’s already give. Up the USA, what else has he got to offer?! -
I agree. I would start with laws to recording all violent convictions in a ‘non gun ownership’ register and a law to temporarily remove guns from anyone who receives a contact with the police wrt violent crimes - People arrested, cautioned, indicted but not yet convicted and all households in which a domestic violence police call out occurs. We know these groups of people are high on the gun violence statistics, take their guns. Leave law abiding gun owners alone.

Smart move to do the research now. AI is already stripping jobs out, if AI lives up to expectations it’s going to put millions out of work. How to deal with mass permanent removal of jobs across all sectors of the economy is going yo need solutions. Universal income is one, changes to taxation of businesses making vast profits in societies while employing very few people is going to be another.

"If you come here illegally, you will be detained and removed within weeks either to your home country or a safe third country, like Rwanda." Putting aside sending anyone who’s not Rwandan to Rwanda, I don’t know anyone who disagrees with with this reassertion of the long existing policy, though it’s a policy that hadn’t been actually enacted on any scale for over a decade. The UK has every right to remove people who enter the UK illegally. However, it is not illegal to enter the UK to seek asylum. The Government have failed in their duty to detain migrants, filter out asylum seekers from non asylum seekers, provide asylum seekers their rights and let them settle, get to work and provide the UK economy workers to the UK economy needs, while deporting those ruled non asylum seekers. It’s all a mess of the Government’s own making, they’re lost control of the UK’s borders and they’ve dismantled the UK’s asylum assessment process to the point it no longer functions.
