Vital these ILR reforms are implemented ASAP.
The black bars are the current settlement figures from 2020 to 2026.
The red bars are the projected settlement figures for 2026 to 2030 if no ILR reforms are implemented and the Boriswave settle.
Hundreds are qualifying daily.
@charliecolecc What gets me is the idea that we aren't in control of settlement. If the system isn't changed, then we simply have to grant vast numbers of IRL statuses and there is nothing we can do about it.
It is completely ridiculous.
@MikeTappTweets We don't need a new system. The Tories introduced a points based system (then abused it). You just need to set the requirements to be so harsh that only the best can enter.
Millions need to leave first however.

It feels like people have forgotten about this case already. It was only a few years ago. Imagine if he had been able to carry out this act or murdering women and children in a hospital.
What should have been Liverpool’s worst day had a happy ending: This man was welcomed by a family, given food, a life. But that friendship wasn’t returned. Many come here only to spread Islam, take from us, and in the worst cases, kill.
Just because we don’t believe the same. He left that Christian home packed with explosives, ready to blow himself up at a veterans’ memorial. At the last second, he changed target: the Women’s hospital and newborn babies. But luckily the only life that he managed to end was his own in a botched attempt.
I’ve been an Islamophobe ever since. I ignored attacks before, but this hit home. I don’t hate Muslims, but I fear the danger they bring. Radical Islam is our biggest threat but so are moderate Muslims who downplay it, gaslight us, and attack us for speaking out. Like we should just accept it as part of our life now and remain silent so we don’t cause offence.
Islam is called a religion of peace, but all terror comes from there. They think we’re blind. Now, I’m threatened daily online for speaking out. It’s the new norm for me. It’s opened my eyes to how many are here who hate us.
I worry for our children. Their future being attacked by extremists, attacked by moderates, called racist for just wanting safety.
As numbers grow, so does the danger. We just have to accept this now. Like many of them often tell me…. “we were born here and this is our country now and there is nothing you can do”.
And more keep coming legally and illegally and I fear for the future of this country. I really do.
@BasilTheGreat Worth pointing out that these sentences are not for a single offence. They are largely for the RAPE of 4 girls INCLUDING CHILDREN.
Out in 5 years for raping 4 kids.

Interesting stat and one that is backed up by my own experience. I've met many progressives who say "I wouldn't bring a child into this world".
Conversely, the conservatives I know have a positive vision for the future based on family, shared culture, success and nation.
The future looks conservative.
The assumption that birth rates are falling across society in general is not really true.
People who identify as conservative are having almost as many children as they were decades ago.
The decline is overwhelmingly among those on the progressive left.
Everyone of these shops sells 'cheap' cigarettes for £5 and even packets of tobacco normal price £42.
Great Yarmouth, Gorlestone, Oulton Broad, Lowestoft.
There are dozens of them. This is a small sample. I visited over 17 of these stores. @RupertLowe10
