@CarolCo06534473@DTTOON1@nadhimzahawi Why wouldn’t they want to stop the boats? It’s not always some big conspiracy. It’s not easy to fix despite what Nige and Rupert tell you, so easy to shout from the sidelines
@THFCnoise@pokeefe1@vkon1 This is an issue and anyone who’s saying it isn’t is an idiot. However Nige facilitated this through Brexit and has NO answer to solve it. He pretends there’s easy fixes when there isn’t.
@7Zark7BftP@THFCnoise@pokeefe1@vkon1 Matthew is an idiot but this is only partially correct. Dublin never really wrked and awareness from migr was low. Returns still would be threatened by legal challenge if it existed today. The increase did coincide with brexit but due to improvements in clandestine detection etc
@pato_enfadado@CPhilpOfficial Suella, Robert and Chris were all in HO with a whopping majority under Boris. They could have been as radical as they wanted to stop boats. They all did nothing and now pretend it’s an easy fix when they can shout from the sidelines
@CarolCo06534473@DTTOON1@nadhimzahawi Weather is comparable to last year and still down 40% + on last year. A wealth of ops are happening across Europe/Asia to disrupt smuggling networks
@bornandbredinEU@Chivers67@Terfs_R I suppose with countries such as Somalia, Sudan, Eritrea etc the demand for visas is fairly low and therefore no leverage? And legal challenges would still exist with lawyers claiming migrants would face prosecution in their homelands due to civil war etc.
@bornandbredinEU@Chivers67@Terfs_R Agree with this. There must be a reason why they haven’t done no visas with some of the top countries for small boat migrants. I suspect Mahmood wants to do it but other departments such as the Treasury block it
@Lizatthecottage@ukhomeoffice Why would Labour not want to stop the boats? All gov would want to. The issue is the French have no incentive to help. They have to let some cross to release the crowds in the camps. We do need to be tougher on asylum claims though etc which is why legislation is being brought
@bornandbredinEU@Chivers67@Terfs_R It’s different though isn’t it mate? Colombia are economically reliant on US as are most countries in the world. We don’t have that power
@bornandbredinEU@Terfs_R agreed re Aus but helps them that the body of water is vast compared to the channel which means they can be easily intercepted and then brought to this island. We can’t do that as where we going to take them? What country will take thousands of migrants for processing?
@Chivers67@bornandbredinEU@Terfs_R How do you make them though? They are trained by smugglers to provide the right answers. If they don’t say anything where do you ship them back to? And many countries won’t take them
@Terfs_R@bornandbredinEU How does this work in practice? They reach our shores, you put them in detention rooms (which we don’t have enough of hence hotels etc) and don’t give them any food etc? Where do you deport them back to if they have no papers and countries not willing to accept?
@hemlock16013@Ramaway1@PeterBleksley I’m left wing but if you think they’re all fleeing war you’re very wrong. I work in the field and law enforcement can’t believe some of the cases where they’ve been granted asylum.
@oJARDINEo@R0ssy0425@gareth_snell Letting yourself down with this. You’ve had civil conversation and then not pushing back on him being called a nonce. He repeatedly said we need to think of the victims. Also, Mahmood wasn’t in charge of the early release scheme, that sits with MoJ, so was Lammy
@krxsctr@ptbrennan11 It is baffling because you can work at the Home Office in an analytical security role as. A G7 and earn over 70k which is better than the private sector comparison. But then you can be the same grade/level and earn 15k less in another department (i.e foreign office or MHCLG)
