UK Asylum Appeals Surge Leaves Thousands of Migrants in Hotels for Years
The Cyclist replied to Social Media's topic in World News
No, your objections are not practical Quite easy to stop 95% of it. I detailed how to do it 5 posts up. Sticking your head in the sand, and ignoring it is not an option. 30 years of the UK being damaged by both Tories and Labour, why vote any of them in again ? Einstein's definition of madness, writ large. The UK, to have any chance of getting back on track, needs radical policies backed up by people with a spine to see them through. Sticking your head in the sand, expecting the very parties who have caused the problem, to actually rectify them, is madness, writ large. Are Reform the answer ? No idea, but I can tell you who is not the answer, and that is Labour or Tories. -

You cannot force the boats back. What you can do is declare it an issue of National security under the National Security Act. Give the Military £10 million to build secure tented camps on Military training areas. Armed Military pick them on the beach, transport to secure tented camp, given slops 3 times a day, and here they stay until they beg to go home. No hotels, no cash cards, nothing. Only security , safety, fed and watered, provided by armed guards -
What ? Ballymena was triggered by the rape or sexual assault of a young girl, by 2 rapists or sex pests who needed translators in Court. There was no riots prior or during the investigation and arrest of the suspects. Only After they had appeared in Court. And whilst tensions were running high, the trigger for the riots was the need for interpreters in Court. The rioting and violence had been building up for a couple years prior to the rape or sexual assault. All it required was a spark, which was duly delivered by 2 sex pests that could not speak English.

Parliament wasn't the issue. The Rwanda Act received Royal Assent on 25 04 2024 and became British Law. The issue was Lawfare, from Starmer downwards. Not often that you are correct, but you are wrong again. No different to the £700,000,000 thrown at France. Roaring success, which is just as well, as only 2000 made it across in the last 6 days. Sarcasm may have been used in that final sentence. -

But it was Labour that caused the forerunner by not jumping on the Sangatte Camps of the 90's from a great height. That is how long Illegals have been flocking into the UK, by car, lorry, train, plane and now dinghies. -

Not very well Who is going to buy a property of upwards of £400k, when 20% of them are for social tenants ? Although you are correct. Affordable housing ( which is a misnomer ) has replaced Council Housing. Probably twofold. The stigma and they are meant to bought up by Housing Associations and not the Council.
-
20% affordable housing, which is not Social Housing. Developers start a project and drop the affordable housing as being non viable This is US centric, but the same applies in Canada, The UK and every other Western Nation In the UK, Housing Associations are meant to buy these " Affordable Homes " and then rent them to Social tenants. The HA's do not have the money to buy them. Builders have no desire to rent homes, build and sell, move on to the next project.

Fun fact ( If you can call it that ) There are currently 1.4 million British Citizens awaiting Social Housing ( Council houses in old money ) https://www.cih.org/news/cih-response-to-speculation-on-a-british-homes-for-british-workers-policy/ By the next GE, that number will be nearer 2 million. 700 - 800 dwellings might be built by the next GE, out of a target of 1.5 million, but not many of them will be Social Housing. I wonder if any of the gaslighters won't to argue with the Chartered Institute of Housing 😀😀

UK Labour Whip Resigns in Protest Against Starmer’s Welfare Reforms
The Cyclist replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Why not ? The Welfare State is close to unaffordable, it is nowhere near collapse as claimed by the SoS for work and Pensions. It certainly needs reform, as it is not fit for purpose. That makes her a bit of a teller of fibs, or lies, depending on how you view it. All politicians are liars, or to put that in PC terms, economical with the actualities. -

Thatcher ? is that the same Thatcher that finished as PM in 1990. 35 years ago. I don't know about you, but the 80's and the first half of the 90's were probably the best years of my younger life. The same Thatcher that pulled the UK up by its bootstraps after the mess Labour left the 70's in ? Selling off the Nations assets ? Did you mean Brown ? Who not only sold off half the gold reserves at a fraction of the price, but saddled the Public Services with PFI debt, that won't be paid off until 2060. Thatcher made mistakes. I think most will agree that they were honest mistakes. Can anyone say the same about Major / Blair / Brown / Cameron / and all who followed ? Not 1 that I would urinate on if they were on fire.🔥 -

Sure https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/jun/18/uk-benefits-system-could-collapse-if-payments-are-not-cut-liz-kendall-says Would you like me to post links to the gangs that have been jailed for fraud ? Not even in the UK to commit the fraud. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c844g4kpjxdo It is close to collapse, and it does not function in the manner intended. Is 2000 dinghy divers in the last week, a sign of robust borders ? Is "Smashing the Gangs " working ? Not sure what you call it. But I call 2000 uninvited guests in a week an open border. You can write " FACT " in capital letters all you want. It does not change reality. -

Let's look at your points in a little more detail Whether they operate an " Open Borders Immigration Policy " is neither here nor there. The facts speak for themselves. Legal migration. See graph above. Illegal migration. 20,000 this year already, 50,000 since Labour came to power. Whatever way you want to look at, this is not a " Controlled Border Policy " We do not have a " Functioning " welfare system. To try and pretend otherwise, is deluded in the extreme. 1 million foreigners, claiming £7.5 Billion a year in benefits, tells me that there is something very wrong with both the Immigration Policy and the Welfare Policy. To put that into a bit of perspective. No idea if Thailand has the equivalent of DWP Offices. But I can just imagine the reaction I would get if I rocked up at one and said give me benefits. It would be ID and deported. -

Have they really ? Rwanda might have work on the deterrent factor, if Lawfare and Labour hadn't stopped it. Labours, Smash the Gangs, is an abject failure. How can a legal immigration system be working. When 1 million foreigners are paid £7.5 Billion a year in welfare benefits ? These figures do not include Illegal Immigrants. Neither legal migration Policy or the Welfare State Policy is worth the paper that they are written on. Not much in the UK at Government level is worth the paper it is written on, hence the reason the UK is clinging on at the S bend and in danger of flushing down it completely.
