It won’t be implemented, it’s a political game. Braverman thinks Truss is cooked, she’s playing to the racists and xenophobes in her bid to step into No 10 when Truss is kicked out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing racist or xenophobic about wishing to control illegal immigration, as you well know. It's just a tired olf insult thrown out by left when they are losing an argument. Used so frequently that it has become meaningless. If you want real racism, I suggest you look no further than the Labour party and their antiquated views on what a Black man should be, how they should vote, how they should talk, what they should think. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-63050482 As so often with the left, they are what they accuse you of being. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chomper Higgot Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 There is precious little to find amusing in the nastiness of Braverman’s latest political games, but a Tory singling out Indian Immigration to the UK resulting from the post Brexit desperation for an India/UK trade deal meets the laugh bar. You’ll find ‘European Immigrants’ being replaced through Government trade deals with cheaper Asian immigrants’ filed under Project Fear. Braverman has picked a direct outcome of Brexit to rant against. The use of immigrants as pawns in Tory political games is not at all amusing; however, the rank hypocrisy and predictable outcome of Tory idiocy is hilarious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post proton Posted October 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) A few years too late, most are from countries that should make any asylum claim not possible, like Albania. Stop the RNLI from providing a taxi service, stop putting these free loaders into hotels, stop giving them cash and access to the NHS. Make illegally entering the UK an unattractive prospect. Most of all stop listening to their 'asylum' lies and deport them. UK has something to learn here from Thailand.

HauptmannUK Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Some tough talk to please the conference - there will be no follow through. The truth is that the UK had always been fairly relaxed about illegal immigration. The overwhelming majority of illegal immigrants are not refugees, they are economic migrants from countries such as Albania, Ghana, Tunisia etc etc. The UK government know this, they have precise data. If they wanted to fix this issue it would have been fixed years ago. The government know that these people provide cheap labour. Many work 'zero hours' in food factories and warehouses where there is no document checking whatsoever - they turn up for a shift and just write their name on a piece of paper - no questions asked. They are often driven out to these employers by 'agents' who take a cut of their wages. France offers them very little (no accommodation, one cup of coffee and half a baguette each day, tight control on access to healthcare and a national ID system). In contrast the UK offers accommodation, the English language, light-touch policing, very well established and well-funded community centres, temples etc, free at point of delivery healthcare etc. Very slim chance of being caught and even slimmer chance of being deported. Unlike most of Europe the UK has no ID cards and many public services are available without any identity checks at all. My family operate a motor-trade business in the UK. A neighbouring small unit is operate by an Indian guy. He makes no secret at all of the fact that he came to the UK illegally 16 years ago at the age of 14. He stayed with an aunt. Enrolled in a UK high school. Got a NI number and set up a small business. He told me that under the government's '20 year rule' when he's been in the UK for 20 years the Home Office have to give him citizenship, illegal entry or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legal Immigrants like Suella Braverman have just as much right to be concerned about illegal immigration to the UK as anyone else. Whether they are first generation or second generation. They are UK citizens now and shouldn't have to conform to your (or anyone else's) antiquated stereoptypes about how immigrants should think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People trying to go from France to the UK are not in distress or danger. THey are already in a safe country, so there is no need to travel further to seek asylum. It is obvious that they are only seeking economic advantage. Maybe it's easier for them in an English-speaking country than in France. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are truly refugees then they won't be so picky about where to take refuge. The first safe place would be good enough, until such time as they can return home. Shopping around for the best place to live is not an act of desperation but of calculation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
