The Laird Report Episode 12 UK Government plan to curb illegal migration, finally the UK government puts in place measures sorely needed to win back trust that immigration policies work
UK government brings forward a plan to tackle illegal migration via the English Channel. The new idea is for people to be processed in Rwanda to find out if they are genuine asylum seekers. If they fail then they will have the option to stay in Rwanda or return to their home countries. Every country needs to defend its own borders, the UK government has had to take this action because of the lack of action by the French Government failing to act properly. In times of crisis, you find out who your real friends are, the French government of Macron are no friend or ally of the UK.

Agreed - No-one is complaining about Ukrainian women and kids, but many are complaining about young guys escaping central Africa. Ukrainian women and kids will go back home as soon as they can and the young African guys won't. We're all born into a life, good or bad and changing it is not just a matter of pitching up on someone's shoreline in a rubber boat and leaving the problem to them to fix.
ReplyDelete'Nomenklatura' - last used in the Soviet Union to ensure the press and all the organs of state were on-message. Currently used in Scotland. The rest of the UK is a lot better, but still heading in that direction.
ReplyDeleteI spent a few happy years in Libya during Gadaffi's time. I spent some time in a place called Sabratha which is close to Tripoli on the Mediterranean coast. I used to go for walks at night along the beach there and I got to know the place pretty well. The Arab Spring started in Tunisia and spread to Libya with within couple of weeks, it was amazingly quick. The French bombed Libyan tanks which were on the road to Benghazi in an almost a carbon copy of what is currently going-on in Ukraine. Gadaffi went mad and threatened to flood France and Italy with illegal migrants from all over Africa if they deposed him. That's when it all started. By the way, a few years later I saw a photograph in one of the newspapers and it was a photo of the same beach in Sabratha and it was littered with the bodies of 16 dead migrants whose boat had capsized. That's how quickly the world can change.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the alternative? I hear there's whole hotels booked-out to migrants along the south-west coast and that has been so for over a year.
ReplyDeleteI was reading last week that more than 500 arrived by small boats in a single day. That's obviously unsustainable in the long term. How do you find accommodation for 500 people per day. Some days there will be hardly any of course, but the value of it is as a deterrent, which I reckon is fair.
