it's almost part of a masterplan - have a wishy-washy ambiguous neo-liberal, centre-right party of 'good guys' like Labour here or the Dems in the US who do little or nothing to tackle ordinary people's problems, who talk of peace while sending weapons to Israel etc... Then, in steps a party of 'ordinary joes' who tell it like it is despite being the puppets of billionaires and grifters like Farage.

 

Scotland a cause for optimism there though. Just hope the SNP doesn't regard that as a signal to just keep on like before.

[Cade]

That's like an economic map of Britain.

Major Cities = Labour
Middle-class rural = LibDems
Rich rural = Tories
Poor rural = Reform

However if an illegal has their status confirmed in their own country as dangerous to their own life for example then they can still be granted Refugee Status here.  Then after five years they still can apply for the Right to Remain Indefinitely.  Today's announcement is just that they cannot get Citizenship, well not easily anyway as there will no doubt be loop holes.

 

Some subtle stuff going on at UK Government level.

Labour bullshitting about migrants?

Guy who owns a castle hotel in Cornwall said the govt offered him twice what he’d take in a year to close the hotel to the public and take 300 illegals. He was to get rid of all his staff etc too. 

There’s a rumor The Kings Manor on Milton Road is going down this route. 
What is going on?

But they’ve no money for this that and the next thing and screwing businesses for extra NI? 
There’s literally nothing surer than Reform making enormous strides next election.

Exactly, failing to take on board people's concerns leads to the extreams of the political spectrum to profit.

The rise of the right is down to the failure of the centre and left.

It’s not even just the concerns, why are they spending north of £8m A DAY to put these people up in hotels while everything around us goes to shit?!

Illegal migrants wandering our streets all paid for with our tax dollars…WTAF!?
The guy with the castle in Cornwall said it’s all 4 poster beds etc I mean it’s like some sort of wind up!

But your a "racist" if you say that!

I'm in favour of immigration, we need people to come and fill gaps in the work force, because the British have too many work shy lazy ***** but that's a different argument, qualified and skilled people should be welcomed. Genuine asylum seekers who are in genuine danger in their home country should also be accommodated, but large numbers of men, it seems to be mostly men around here, being housed in hotels and pretty much left to their own devices, who speak no English can't be right.

its ridiculous. Again, to the liberals unable to have a reasonable debate everyone concerned at this farce is a racist.  Controlled, needs based immigration should be welcomed for anyone who wants to come here, live, work and respect the country. But this farce needs to stop.

 

Voted Labour to oust the even more woke liberal SNO but next time round I’ll be voting reform as well.

They're not illegal, they wouldn't be getting our tax dollars if they were.

 

Refugees aren't expected to have documents all present and correct, it's understood that in fleeing they haven't arranged visas with their government etc.

 

It's also understood that they have to enter the country by unofficial means, as they simply can't do it any other way - this is what we all signed up to.

 

It's not illegal to enter a country by unofficial means and claim refuge.

 

The problem is like everything else, the rich get richer while our infrastructure struggles. They COULD have built refugee centres and dealt with the issue that way, but instead millions of your tax money are poured into the pockets of private businesses for them to profit from it.

 

Meanwhile, the refuge system's a joke, and instead of building a streamlined, efficient system to deal with applications speedily and effectively, we lob people into hotels and get to it when we get to it, spending fortunes in that extra time.

 

But Reform man, JFC, what's happened to you? Voting far right isn't the protest to be making!

Reform aren’t far right, the left has just moved so far to the left you can’t see the middle. I actually applaud the idealist views but unfortunately it is not the way the world works.  Have a look at Sweden.  Now one the most dangerous due to their radical liberal thinking.  
 

Here the bit you are missing. People are *******s! We have hordes of young men not here genuinely fleeing danger.  But to take advantage of a weak socialist state and weak liberal views.
 

West Lothian teeming with absolute *****, hell bent on nothing but crime and stealing benefits.   genuinely asylum seekers are the minority I’m afraid.
