Rights campaigners say ‘appalling’ pilot scheme treats those fleeing conflict and persecution as criminals

 

Refugee rights campaigners have described a new Home Office scheme to electronically tag asylum seekers as “appalling”, saying the move treats people fleeing conflict and persecution as criminals.

 

Under a 12-month pilot, which began on Wednesday, some people arriving in the UK in small boats or in the back of lorries will be electronically tagged.

 

Critics say the “draconian” move will do nothing to stop people from taking risky journeys to reach the UK in search of asylum.

 

Boris Johnson defended the plans on Saturday morning, saying it was essential that people did not simply “vanish” into the rest of the country.

Should all be placed in a detention centre.

Guarded by the military. 

In a galaxy far far away, or failing that in Rwanda. No chance of 'escaping' that safe haven in dinghies.

Did you think before posting?

 

Immigrants that ‘disappear’ are being put up in hotels or receiving ‘benefits’.

 

 

Did you read, think and understand before posting? Obviously not.

If they were to cut off the tag and disappear, there would be none of what they paid traffickers and risked their lives for - those lovely UK benefits.

So erm, how do immigrants who have disappeared claim ‘UK Benefits’?

 

Think about it before responding.

They haven't been tagged yet have they?

That didn't take a lot of thinking about.

So people who are hiding can claim benefits?

No, this thread is about the proposal to tag the incoming scroungers. Without a tak they are at the mercy of their trafficker gang masters and servitude. When the tagging rule is enforced they will not be able to cut it off to disappear and still claim 'benefits on arrival'.

Got a link for this conspiracy theory?

Again, how do they disappear and still claim benefits?

You are too quick to post and your obtuseness is showing. If they cut off the tag, they can disappear but their benefits will stop.

Right. So, we've established that they can't cut of the tag and disappear and claim benefits at the same time.

So, no link?

They tend not to publish links of living under the radar for your reference. 
You could try find something in the Garuniad if you like, or more likely another bleeding heart activist organisation will have it documented.

Or maybe it's not true at all because you can't substantiate your claim as required by the rules of the forum.

Anyone who wishes to ‘disappear’ will simply cut the tag off.

All very true. Disappear to live under the radar and your benefits stop.

But didn’t you clam they come to the UK for benefits?

 

If they come to the UK to claim benefits then why would they ‘disappear’ and why do they need tagging?

Does it matter that the pieces of the jigsaw don't belong to the same puzzle?
