Keith & Carolyn own Keilyn Too and have done since May 2015 when we picked her up as a sail away. We've really enjoyed fitting her out, to become our home
How a Restore Britain Government will approach Pakistan.
They have made it very clear that they will not accept their deported child rapists.
How would Restore Britain react?
The response must be swift, ruthless and brutal. Why?
So that others will witness it, and we won’t have the same problem again.
It would designated as a rogue state on day one.
All immigration from Pakistan into Britain will end.
We will impose trade sanctions and tariffs - the aim will be to hurt their economy.
Dividends and remittances into Pakistan will be taxed.
Foreign aid will be cancelled in its entirety, and we will bill Pakistan for recent spending - we want that money back, our money back.
This would all be applied with allied nations.
Our deportation NATO.
Sanctions from a single country are easier to absorb, but a unified bloc of economies and travel markets creates systematic and severe pressure. Coordinated restrictions would also close loopholes whereby Pakistani nationals bypass our measures by moving through another jurisdiction.
If the Pakistani elites start to play ball and accept their deported rapists, criminals and freeloaders in vast numbers over a sustained period of time?
A debate could then be had about easing trade sanctions.
If done right, it would not be needed again.
A Restore Britain Government will make an example of Pakistan.
Following their scandalous behaviour over the Rochdale rape gang leader, and much else, it is thoroughly deserved.
Britain still has the power. A Restore Britain Government will use it.
Why This Feels Like a Kick in the Teeth – A Local Dad's View on the Stoke Heath Housing Madness
My name's Dave. I'm 38, born and raised round here in Shropshire. I work a manual job – long days on the tools, building sites, fixing stuff, whatever pays the bills.
My wife works too, part-time when she can, but looking after our two kids comes first. We've been on the council housing list for over four years now. Four fucking years of filling in forms, chasing up, living in a cramped rental that's costing us a fortune and never feels like home.
The kids share a room, we're saving every penny, and every time something breaks or the landlord puts the rent up, we wonder how much longer we can keep going.
Then I hear about the new estate down the road in Stoke Heath. Nice new-build houses, £250,000 each, 21 of them. We thought, finally – some decent family homes for people like us who've waited our turn. People from round here, paying taxes, working hard, part of the community.
Turns out they're handing them over to 83 illegal immigrants instead. One family's already moved in. Brand new houses, nice finish, in our village. And we're still fucking waiting.
I can't even describe how pissed off that makes me. Not that I don't have sympathy for genuine cases, but against a system that looks at my kids and says "sorry, not yet," while rolling out the red carpet for people who've come here illegally.
We've got over 1.3 million households across England on waiting lists. People like me, veterans, young families, pensioners who've paid in all their lives. And we're told there's no stock, no new builds, nothing.
Yet somehow there are 21 shiny new ones for these asylum cases coming off the back of illegal arrivals.
What a load of bullshit.
This is a small village.
Limited shops, buses are a pain, the GP surgery and school are already stretched. Dropping 83 people in here – families, we assume – isn't going to be easy on anyone. Locals are worried about services, about safety, about not knowing who these folks are or where they've come from.
They bang on about risks from social media to our kids, but this just makes that sound stupid when you've got unvetted people who came here illegally dumped right on our doorstep.
One neighbor put it straight: we're not against helping people, but four families might be manageable.
This feels like dumping a big group on us without asking. I'm terrified for my own kids and the estate.
It doesn't feel fair at all.
I've worked hard my whole adult life. Paid my taxes. Never asked for much.
My wife and I just want a stable home for our family, somewhere the kids can grow up safe, with a bit of space. Four years waiting.
And now I see new houses going to people who came here illegally, claimed asylum, and get housed by the Home Office because the hotels are too expensive. Fair enough, hotels cost a fortune – billions apparently – but why the fuck not build more for us first?
Why use these new ones for illegal arrivals?
It feels like two-tier Britain. British families with roots here, "British heritage" as some call it, pushed to the back.
While the government talks about cutting hotel bills by moving them into proper houses. Serco or whoever just buys them up for the contract.
No proper chat with the parish council or locals. Our MP, Mark Pritchard, has been raising hell about it, and good on him.
The Home Office even said afterwards that new-builds "should never" be used for this – too late for us though.
I'm not some extremist. I get that some are fleeing real trouble. But the numbers are huge, the system's broken, and it shouldn't come at the expense of our own people.
We've got a housing crisis that's been building for decades. Instead of prioritizing the people already here paying in, it feels like we're importing more pressure through illegal entries.
My kids deserve better. Every local family waiting deserves better. This is our country, for fuck's sake.
And this isn't just happening here in Stoke Heath – it's happening everywhere in the UK.
Councils all over the place are doing the same thing, sticking illegal immigrants and asylum seekers into new or social housing while British families rot on waiting lists.
This isn't just about 21 houses in Stoke Heath. It's about priorities. Fix the asylum backlog properly – quick decisions, send back the ones who don't qualify.
Build way more homes actually for British families on the lists. Consult communities before dumping big changes on them. Stop making hard-working people like me and my wife feel like second-class citizens in our own fucking country.
All we can do now is vote out the councilors and politicians who didn't give a shit about their own people and put in people who do.
I'm tired of it. A lot of us round here are. We just want a fair go for our families. Is that too much to ask?
@patrick_pi2258@0laratrumpRv2 I'm afraid reform have lost their way. I'm going with Restore, as they seem to have our well-being in their minds and not pandering to others to try and win votes
@WeDeserveJ4g6@RupertLowe10 There's already too many people leaching off the system and these people from different cultures, don't integrate with ours
@mopdenson@andyburnham I saw earlier that the national audit office has stepped in to say nothing more should be done regarding HS2 until it can demonstrate that it can deliver on time and on budget
Restore Britain’s five step plan to end the welfare scam.
Number one.
No benefits for foreigners. Saves billions and billions every year. If a Somalian family is living on benefits in social housing funded by the British taxpayer, I wish them well. In Somalia. No discussion needed. Huge savings to be had.
Second.
The ballooning welfare bill is not solely down to foreign nationals, far from it. There are a huge number of British people taking the mick. The system is there for the taking, and they are doing exactly that. Claiming some disability or another, when there is evidently nothing wrong.
Face-to-face assessments are vital, regular and vigorous.
- Dedicated welfare fraud investigation units.
- Proper data-sharing between HMRC, DWP and local authorities.
- Automatic recovery of fraudulent claims from future earnings.
And actually through doing this, we can give proper support to those British men and women who genuinely need it. A fair, robust and compassionate approach.
Third.
A life on benefits for a healthy individual is NOT acceptable. If you can work, you must work. A few months to find a desired job is reasonable, but after that - if you want your benefit money, you will be put to work.
That is Restore Britain’s position.
Litter picking, street cleaning, gardening, scraping chewing gum off the pavement. Whatever. If it needs doing and you want the money, you’re doing it.
Random drug tests for those on benefits - if you’re getting high, the benefits stop.
Tough love.
Next.
Reintroduce the two child cap. Hardworking British parents shouldn’t have to subsidise indolence.
If you want more children, get a job.
Finally.
Tax cuts.
Raise the thresholds. Make it so that going back to work is financially rewarding. Obviously. Reward hard work, and people will do more of it. If people feel like going into work is actually worth it, they will do it. It must never pay to sit on benefits.
More training, more apprenticeships. A skilled and active workforce. Contributing, not taking. That is what we need.
A Restore Britain Government will ensure no household receives more in out-of-work benefits than the equivalent working family earns after tax.
The welfare system should protect those who cannot work, support those who fall on hard times, and help people back into employment as quickly as possible.
It should never be more attractive than work.
Restore Britain will reward contribution and ambition, not indolence and entitlement.
End the welfare scam, slash the bill, crush inflation.
