Migrants get up to £2000 on bankcard after prison sentences

I'm on this thread obviously..but in real life I'm at the point where I don't bother discussing this stuff any more.
I do follow the polls and the current mood ,and there is no doubt at all , reform are our next government
Starmer is not going to call an early election,nor will his back benchers,,they are here to get their money ,to coast along for the next 4 years ,unable to make the necessary changes needed to keep reform out .
I didn't know migrants get a gift card of £2000 as golden goodbye..but I can't say it surprises me ..I do hope they are finger printed and in the system to stop them using that £2000 to pay a smuggling gang to bring them straight back and in to a cozy hotel...but it wouldn't surprise me if that is exactly where the £2000 goes .
It's a shit show currently

This is ridiculous - the posters here must have v comfortable lives - it’s not us that’s mugs it’s a useless Gov.

Along with taxis I think we can safely say Reform really are going to be our next government.

I really didn’t think we would ever see this in my lifetime, but the utter abject failure of the Conservative’s infighting and poor behaviour - and Labour’s total incompetence and paralysis (if Starmer even makes it to Christmas that is given the state of this administration is in will be a miracle)

The Labour government have shown themselves to be utterly useless, and even the most devoted will never vote for this mess again. Ed Davey is the biggest clown and can not be taken seriously.

There is literally no one else to vote for… either reform or abstain it seems. I can see an early election being called, we really can not go on as we are. We will be bankrupt in four years….

It would cost more to enter into a contract with eg Serco or another security company to remove them in handcuffs etc etc. The two grand is a lot cheaper!

Yawn. Have you not evolved from calling everyone who doesn't agree with you on immigration a fascist? What if its a blonde e haired immigrant is it still fascism then to not want uncontrolled immigration?

For a moment I thought this site was the Daily Mail.

How do you know these are all criminals?

So. Judge & jury & conviction without due process. FFS hello 1939 - how you been.? My papa didn’t die for you lot to clap welcome to fascism in the uk

Doesn’t make it right though does it

Anyone who is currently here and can't apply for a passport for whatever reason,has 4years to plan what they will do when reform takes over .
Anyone planning on coming here ,will surely to goodness find out about the country they are hoping to settle in ,and see all the anger towards immigration,and , reform are constantly in the news ,no one could say reform have not been Cristal clear about their plans ...so anyone continuing to still come here ,by whatever means ,will know exactly what to expect.

If they commit a crime they should be immediately deported with no cash bribe. It shouldn’t even be a debate, no crime is victimless and if anything happened to me I’d feel better knowing that the person was deported. Unfortunately we’ve got enough homegrown criminals that we can’t deport without adding to the numbers.

A succession of weak government has got us here
Without a doubt it's a reform government next time ,and we all need to plan for that ,and how it will effect each of us .
Those who have current ilr need to be applying for the British passport while they can ,and those that can't ,need to be planning on what they will do in 4 years time .

This really does need to be taken seriously, the lefties writing ‘yawn’ and ‘Hi Nige’ are they deliberately pushing for our country to break out in riots across the nation do we think?
Or are they just too thick to see how damaging their rhetoric is?

Dismissing 79% of the population’s opinion that action must be taken on immigration seems highly dangerous and provocative to me - especially given we have a government paralysed by indecision and inaction.

I think they take biometric data so thry know which undocumented migrants are returning for another go in freebie Britain.

I don't know if these get insta-deported or another few weeks of hotel life

yawn. Same old same old. Zero critical thinking. We actually live in a country where the law matters. People cannot be deported without due process.
man offer of voluntary deportation & some money is a LOT cheaper & quicker than court process.
if however you want to change into a country without due process and diligence change your username please to missfascist123

Why do we need to send legal immigrants home at all?

It tells you why they pay in the article. Did you not read it?

‘It has long been the case that we do offer financial packages as an incentive to people to drop their claims and drop the attempts they make to stay in our country, and to board a flight and leave,"

it is pretty clear why they are going it…. they are paying them off as it’s far cheaper than going through the courts to try and remove them legally.

Well yes reform are getting votes, they did at the last general election and they gained a huge number of votes in the recent local elections, ultimately winning 677 seats. This was more than 30% of the seats being contested.

There is no "might cost" about it - it will most definitely cost money to deport criminals and if you're only offering 50p as an incentive to leave voluntarily ie. not legally challenge, then you would have no takers.

Do you have a source/link to the articles you're talking about?

I do agree there are some very dodgy deals there. I am central to leaning left (used to be called liberal) but I think a PP had it nailed that if you are resident or citizen in the UK and you have been convicted of a serious crime (12 months plus). Then you relinquish all rights your residence in the UK and benefits. Yes it might cost the tax payers to get the criminals back home, but I surely do not agree to a 2k bankcard.

It's the facilitated voluntaey return scheme and has been going on for ages. There is also one for homeless foreign nationals. Ir is a LOT cheaper and easier than forced deportations or keeping thwm in the system. Thia is the sort of pramatic cheap incentive scheme those yelling about immigrstion issues want.

One main party has been useless. That would be the Conservatives. Labour have increased the volume of people processed, and returned more people in the last year than the Conservatives did in the last six years.

The funny thing is that these statistics don't seem to make the headlines.

These are all criminals. Romania is their country.

This is disgusting. Not all Romanians are criminals. I've met a few lovely hard-working ones.

Glad I don't know you in real life.

Private health care escalates. You think it's OK but you end up paying a fortune for every little extra. Yiu have no idea. Do you know what it's like in US. Most people here simply wouldn't get the treatment they need..

I thought you watched it? The guy they interviewed said they are only supposed to get it if they go quietly. They don’t get it if they’re abusive etc.
