      Shirley you must be joking. We took back control of our borders in 2020 didn’t we?

    2. > The government has promised to “stop small boats”, but made clear that does not mean there will be zero crossings.

      “Stop” is an absolute word, the government are fucking crackers. How can you promise to stop something from happening, but in the same sentence concede it won’t actually stop?

      This needs to end, the government need to process asylum applications outside of the UK and anyone else who makes the crossing illegally should be detained and deported to their country of origin and banned from ever stepping foot in the UK again, asylum seeker or not.

      That’s more than one every 2 minutes.

      And that’s just the boat arrivals. Doesn’t include all other migrants

      Not sustainable.

      I’m sure they’re all very eager to learn about, respect and blend with our culture. I’m sure they all respect women and queer people and won’t at all be a danger to them

      Coming soon to the Mail

      “How are people smuggling gangs convincing people to make the dangerous crossing!?? We must STAMP IT OUT”

      We need cheap workers, people aren’t having kids much anymore and loads of people are on the Tom dick with ‘invisible / difficult to prove’ illnesses so cannot / don’t want to work. So, no, the gvt have absolutely no interest in stopping people coming over to work even if they’re working in kebab shops, barbers, cleaning staff, working on farms picking fruit, we need people to do that. Even if they’re getting cash in hand the gvt will be getting taxes from the majority of people on PAYE. Which is going to go up after the election whoever gets in, otherwise where else is the money going to come from?
