"Migrants going to Ireland," states Rishi Sunak PM

So you have read my post and stated what I have been posting for a while. Incredible.

If we are talking southern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland , it's really nothing to do with the UK. I'm sure they didn't care about immigrants going to the UK.

I totally agree.

As a south Asain (my parents and us arrived in England in the very early 60's)
The "right" wing do not need an excuse to stir up racial hatred/division

The longer this political fiasco re boats/send to Rawda goes on the worse it will become. Importantly, even if the scheme goes ahead, I bet you no more than a couple of hundred will be deported and some of them may find themselves back here

For immigrants from non EU nations that want to settle/work in England, it costs them thousands for visa applications and citizenships and 5 years and lots of money for citizenship and rightly so they have to support themselves. This is unlike those who come via boat routes

This Tory government is aiding the uprising rise in right-wing extremist groups like that of the 70's

Mr Sunak aka PM must concentrate on what matters to those in England, EG, NHS, much shorter waiting lists, reduce taxes, better roads, better schools, rewarding those that work hard, etc, etc rather than try to bring life into a crap idea that is overpriced and worthless and useless all in the name of politics to make the Tories look good

The Labour clowns are no better as the boats need to stop and what do they propose, that's right, fuck all.

If I was your PM - I'd take the attitude the French take, no ifs, no buts, and deal with the problem in hand by making new rules overnight

Re boar people, the majority are genuine refugees and that can't be argued with. The fact remains that these refugees and financial refugees are already in a so-called safe country as all come via the EU and therefore must not be allowed to stay in England.

As I've said many times, the politicians are in it for themselves and if you cant see that, then there is no hope for you.

Umm he resigned, did you not hear?

I adore the fact that OP has just been looking up Ireland's demographics and deigns to 'inform' us all of her exciting findings. Like Ireland is some some sort of mythical, parallel universe. She must live under a fucking rock. Our Taoiseach is a gay man of Indian descent for example. We are a nation of people who emigrated and we have had a lot of immigrants in the last 20 years. Not without it's problems but on the whole has been a huge benefit for the country.

Where about is you in Ireland - any news stories to back up your comments, please?

Irish courts have deemed that Britain is no longer classes as a safe haven. Therefore people are crossing to border to register in Ireland.

Ireland is seen now as the overflow because of brexit!

@DanielGault well what else can they do? And they have housed Irish people in the hotels. No choice. Nobody is blaming immigrants. People are blaming the government and the fact we have rolled over for so long and that has been to our own detriment but now it is worse because of the UK so we have to take measures.

Also yis can feck off thinking we are going to scratch your back after all ye have put us through.

I didnt watch the LLS on friday, but Leo has moved on from calling us far right if we want a cap on migrants, now he's calling us racists.

It's so infuriating..

Also why is it only young males in their 20's/30's leaving their supposedly unsafe countries, the women are more in danger there than anyone and loads claiming to be gay and saying they will be persecuted if they go back. It has just got out of control and people are fed up and angry. Cannot open your mouth here or you get called far right.

@BOOTS52PollyPrissyPants to get in get visas and jobs and bring their families over is all i assume.

@DanielGault imigrants that can come here and work etc yes but these are illegal and can not work or provide for themselves either. Then we have the sham of direct provision. I am not now and never have been a whole 'help our own first' because sometimes 'our own' want to benefit from the state but the housing crisis is ridiculous here. Our hotels are now taken over by refugees from Ukraine which is costing towns and villages money because it takes away from tourism. I fully get a lot of immigrants over the years have taken on jobs Irish people will not do but the housing crisis is because we have a care of duty to house people coming here and we really cannot house Irish people.
