Worth checking the others' policies too, to see what they are saying.

I wasn't suggesting this was your opinion. I posted a link to the greens asylum process which contains a fair bit about improving things at the source. Which seems to fit with your ideas. Not sure about other alternatives though.

Cheers South Saxon. I am struggling to see how these things will improve much, but the info is appreciated. More about them here: https://www.ein.org.uk/news/unhcr-examines-third-country-return-hubs-failed-asylum-seekers-uk-reported-be-considering...

The article is specifically about asylum seekers who have had their applications rejected. This means they are not given refugee status and allowed to stay in the UK. Under the 1951 Refugee Convention those not granted refugee status should be returned to their country of origin. I am unsure...

Why are they not sent back to their country of origin. Surely this is just adding complications and expense to a fairly simple process?

Its quite a situation to be in where political parties are more likely to win elections by doing nothing than offering solutions. It feels to me like the race to the bottom has been won. Or will that be in the next election? It all ends up with a shit outcome for the electorate. But then the...

Do they not have asylum policies? Edit: a quick squiz at the greens policy suggests that it is far closer to TomandJerrys beliefs than Reforms. So I guess we can definately call them an alternative. https://migration.greenparty.org.uk/refugee-and-asylum-policy/

Not really,there are other alternatives. But I guess they have checked out the alternate asylum seeker policies and decided that this one is the best. Slim pickings indeed. Sarcasm aside, I think you are right with the first bit. They have been persuaded that immigration is at the heart of...

A new department of immigration is a typical Reform policy. It does actually say anything about how the new one will differ to the old one. Nor does it say what is wrong with the old one that cannot be changed by different policy. It's totally meaning less. So of their point plan: 25% is...

This is the nub of most arguments about asylum seekers. Stop the boats - make then someone else's problem. As I mentioned previously you never see the asylum seeker numbers compared with other countries.

I met briefly met Charlie at a lock in late one Friday night. The next day at the withdean he saw me in the players lounge (the play group/nursery thing 🤣) and sent me a beer over. I turned round to see who sent it and was greeted with a 'shush' gensture and a cheery wink. 🤣

An excellent point, you are right. I will now vote Reform. 🤣

For a party that is hoping to form a government largely based on their immigration policies, they just don't seem to have a clue. No clear solutions to the problems they perceive and no clear idea of the numbers they think are appropriate for the UK. I honestly can't see that they are anything...

I broadly agree with this also. This is Reform's Policy on this Stop the Boats with our 4 Point Plan 1. Leave the European Convention on Human Rights. 2. Zero illegal immigrants to be resettled in the UK. 3. New Department of Immigration. 4. Pick up illegal migrants out of boats and take them...

You don't! Nigel will be very displeased 🤣

I would . . . try and style it out!! 🤣 🤣

Those landlords are doing very well out of the situation too. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2jw9jg99jo They also allegedly have close links to the Tory party that gave them the contracts in the first place. https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1316444006944051201 So why do they keep...

That makes much more sense.

The initiative, revealed by The Daily Telegraph - A red flag according to a new report - another red flag I couldn't see either the report named or a link to said report in that article. I'll be honest though, I didn't do much more than scan after those two massive red flags so happy to be...

The whole TDS thing is evil genius by whoever thought of it. Projection and double speak all rolled into one.
