Images of handcuffed people being locked into prison vans and transported to detention centres bring shame on this county. By the way, images taken by conveniently positioned TV and newspaper personnel.
If these people were deemed ‘safe’ enough to be allowed to live, unfettered, in 43 Acacia Drive, why on earth are they being publicly humiliated in this way?
I think anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows the answer to that.
Is it the 1930s?

Shiiit situation, and I honestly don’t know what the answer. There are countries that desperately need working age people too (Moldova, Japan for example) yet everybody seems to end up here.
There needs to be a consensus among western nations about where people should go when they need to flee their homelands. Otherwise you end up with horrific policies like this Rwanda policy.
Fvck knows really what the answer is.

Can we note that >60% of UK asylum seekers are accepted at first application and the majority of the rest that appeal are also accepted - we seem to be doing our bit for legitimate cases?
What seems the issue is economic migrants and refugees unhappy at their initial safe destination who want to enter illegally in the knowledge they will be housed and fed while they get up to other illegal activities.
And one bigger issue is we cannot attract the kind of immigrants who can and who want to legally contribute to our economy. The other bigger issue is the lack of housing and services to support either them or the existing population.
