@watling_samuel People don’t like being ruled by foreigners. Doesn’t detract from the truth that we greatly improved many of these countries and were probably the most enlighted colonial power in history.

@BillTheKid1603 Not to mention our inability to build any infrastructure has everything to do with terrible legislation around planning and energy and nothing to do with public v private ownership

@ursine_meeting Durable as in executing these people?

Asylum seekers accommodation like the below is paid for by the Home Office while the asylum claim is being processed. This can take many forms but is paid for by the taxpayer. As egregious as it is, it is also easy to monitor and track.

Post-asylum claim they frequently (if not the majority of the time) declare themselves homeless and move to local government funded temporary accommodation. This is a less understood but much bigger scandal.

From there on, as homeless people with a right to be in Britain, they are often a priority allocation to move to permanent social housing. Even if they are not moved to permanent housing, the cost of temporary accommodation is so high that it makes purchasing almost any house available on the market a cheaper alternative for the local authority.

The cost of direct asylum accommodation is estimated to be £1.5BN per year for the next 10 years but NO ONE knows what the lifetime cost of the claimant is running at since post-asylum claim it is amalgamated into hundreds of other Local Government budgets and general welfare bills.

@Govey24 “Im English and proud of it, but I would never deny that someone who got off the boat five minutes ago is just as English as me in every way.” You people are stupid, dangerous fantasists.

@implausibleblog Britain and Western Europe more broadly have been the richest parts of the world per capita for over a millennium. Dalrymple is a hack selling resentment to bitter Hindutva nationalists.

@xspotsdamark No reason on this basis to give such workers and their children full access to citizenship and welfare systems, so this clearly is only a partial explanation

[max tempers @maxtempers]

This is a fair question. The greatest strength (and weakness) of the original Mahmood ILR proposals is that, without ever spelling it out explicitly, they would effectively reverse the entire care worker migrant wave.

There are two parts to the mechanism:
(1) - The ILR proposals retrospectively extend the qualifying period for permanent residency for care workers to fifteen years.
(2) - The govt has barred existing care workers from renewing their visas beyond 2028.

This means that hundreds of thousands of low-skilled care worker migrants, and their dependents, will have their visas expire and have to leave the country.

Going to have to start calling dinghies ‘rapist cabs’ or something. Just relentless.

So many politicians, lawyers, NGO workers and civil servants need to be imprisoned in this country. We shouldn’t have to live amongst an epidemic of foreign rapists.

BREAKING @GBNEWS: Seven men, who are all Afghan nationals and refugees, have been charged with 40 offences after an investigation into an alleged grooming gang in Norwich.

Five of the men arrived illegally in Britain by small boat; two by lorry. All of the men have been in the country for several years. One arrived illegally as early as 2020.

The charges relate to two victims, who were in their early-to-mid teens at the time of the alleged offences.

@t848m0 What is the point of the British state? Constantly outsourcing policy because it can’t be bothered to make decisions and evaluate trade-offs (although of course the broader country will still have to bear the financial and social cost of these people.)

[Anglo Man @Normalopinons]

@stev1ewrightfan All of these people seem to be under the illusion there is just one migrant and that both things therefore cannot be true.

[Anglo Man @Normalopinons]

@LdotNatalie Some migrants subsist off of state largesse, others undercut wages. Why is this hard to understand?

[Anglo Man @Normalopinons]

@anglopjdst Scarcely anything the British right could suggest would be more extreme that what our governments have already subjected us to.

[Michael Knowles @Express_Knowles]

Exclusive: Channel migrants could be given homes alongside social housing tenants, under plans being considered by council chiefs.

Another 10,000 asylum seekers are set to be moved into houses, flats and bedsits in London, the southern counties and Wales.

And hundreds could be given beds in properties which are being shared with local authorities for social housing.

@RupertDarwall @residentadviser And he won’t be able to do that at the national scale given the increased scrutiny of a GE and when he isn’t standing solely in a local area where’s he’s a popular figure. I’d be shocked if he even risked it.

[Anglo Man @Normalopinons]

@RupertDarwall @residentadviser Burnham will be unpopular in a matter of months because he’s functionally the same as Starmer with a northern accent and has given no indication he will significant change Labour’s policies. He also won’t call an election whilst his party languishes in the polls

[Anglo Futurism Capital LP 🇬🇧🐿️ @RollingHedge]

Under Osborne we never actually had ‘austerity’ - that is to say that the absolute state never shrank because the pensions, NHS, welfare and debt-interest core ate all the DEL savings Osborne made. More’s the pity. Ironically then, the tonic we most need now to fix this broken economy is massive nominal spending cuts. I’d start with welfare - eg working age health and incapacity, PIP, UC and Motability. The NHS and the wider public sector now swallow far more cash than they did in 2019 while producing less per pound, so you freeze the cash in nominal terms (admittedly this is restraint rather than massive cuts), a real cut once inflation is in the room, and drag productivity back to the 2019 trend, holding output while the spending stops climbing. You then reform the triple lock (via means testing), before turning attention to immigration and its adjacent welfare costs. Capital and R&D receive fully protected status (we need them to drive growth). For real growth you reform: energy, capital markets, planning, and deliver lower taxes on work. Energy reform in particular would be long term disinflationary; capital markets reform keeps more successful companies here and paying tax and employing people, and the lower tax puts more money in people’s pockets to spend in the real economy.

Under Rach in accounts, that same core is now fed by extraction from the PAYE worker instead to fund Labour’s various client groups - especially unionised public sector workers and an ever growing list of (esp young) welfare recipients. The problem with this extraction from productive to non-productive is that the bond market sees spending that lifts consumption without lifting capacity, prices in the weaker growth and the worse debt path that follow, and charges a moron premium accordingly. Higher interest on our debt then impoverishes millions of Brits.

This is the policy continuum from Tory to Labour writ large. I say all this as a lifelong (former) Tory.

To fix it, shrink the state, free the worker, and the bond market stops charging you the moron premium. Simples.

@noticearchive Can’t find this table on the report, do you know how it was made?

[Anglo Man @Normalopinons]

@Channel4News How stupid are these people? Genuinely how committed to not understanding anything do you have to be to think that Elon musk is behind people being outraged at atrocities happening in the backyards? This isn’t a comms issue, people correctly interpret it as a civilisational one.
