True, but it makes the acronym messy. "MENISWGA" is a bit unwieldy. 

How about Forward, United Christian Kingdom?

It was Labour that promised to do something about these parasites landing in their boats and did nothing. Just another of their broken promises. Get them out as soon as possible and vote Reform.

You with the thumbs down moji, are you really serious????

  Unfortunately you are wrong on one point, nearly 50% of asylum claims are accepted, those who fail the initial application then go on to appeal ( at a high cost to the tax payer) of these approximately 50% are successful so the full figure is a 75% acceptance rate.

 

Yes, well I think I can guess why so many that should not be granted are successful

Rwanda's looking better and better.  Or maybe they can work a deal with El Salvador.

 

They were going to be sent there but all the do-gooders kicked up about 'human rights'

Weak politicians, the French dont want them so are more than happy with the boats crossing.

Why not use the military to force the boats back.

It would be quite easy if stamer had a backbone to make a stand about it, its working for Trump. How many entered the US in recent months.

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

Exactly.

 

And once they realize that trip across the channel is going to result in months freezing in a tent in the middle of a fenced off field, they will stop coming.

 

But that's not what Labour want. They're perfectly happy with the numbers, they just have to pretend not to be. Hence the debacle continues.

It's (kind of) been tried with Bibby Stockholm.

"She said a large number of the migrants had boycotted their breakfast and lunch, and had taken part in a two-hour sit-in at the site's outside compound."

 

The eventual rewards are too great for them to go home.    They have to be turned back before they get to the UK.   It's the only way.   Australia did it and solved the problem within a few weeks.

Because, weak and spineless people give in to the emotional blackmail

 

Food is provided, eat or starve, the choice is yours.

That'll be me😁 (I wish that AN would remove the anonymity from the emojis) 

 

Yes, I'm serious about not wanting Reform to be the next government and my objections are practical.

 

Firstly, imo the idea that Reform are going to somehow magically stop illegal immigration at the drop of a hat, when all governments in Europe for the past 10 years have consistently failed to do so, is fanciful. 

 

Secondly, any damage that Labour's economic policies may have done to the UK economy would pale into insignificance if Reform were to enact some of theirs.

 

A couple of links from 'The Spectator', hardly a far-left journal, outlines the problems with Reform's policies
