Just watched 47 migrants being deported, costing hundreds of thousands, private flights, huge number of security guards, the migrants then get given cash cards! Back to Romania after committing crimes here including murder, sexual offences, pedophiles with money to help them resettle in their own country.

ITV news - our own go hungry and cold.

We are total mugs here in the UK.

On a separate story migrants having taxis to appointments, free NHS. I mean we have to get to our own way.

Mugs. No wonder many people are unhappy. These are convicted criminals, being pandered to.

None of these people will be carers. They were all convicted criminals on the flight.

The poster said they would vote reform who’ve said they would abandon a free nhs etc…

It is voluntary as outlined in the official guidelines below

They give them money to get them to agree to go. The £2k is far less than the cost of housing them and all the court time and paperwork etc if they don't agree to leave voluntarily.

Do you not think that we should not have to get them to agree to go voluntarily. Anyone who is granted asylum or right to remain in our country relinquishes that privilege in the event of them being found guilty of a crime that results in a 12 month plus prison sentence. It’s a total abuse of uk hospitality and our offer of sanctuary, there should be zero right to appeal. Get rid, we should be able to enforce their deportation without resorting to bribery.

It’s like an incentive to become a career criminal tourist. Anything to actually stop them from repeatedly entering the country, committing a minor crime, short stay in prison then back home on a free flight with £2k in the bank?

Exactly. Come back and try again.

Quicker, with no money, in handcuffs and leg chains if they throw urine over security staff. Disgusting. Tighten the boarders so we know who is arriving. Much quicker processing on arrival.

How much do you think all those extra measures would cost?

How much do you think your insurance premium will be for healthcare? With carers numbers decimated by the removal of right to remain 🤦‍♀️

Totally agree OP, it’s absolutely batshit. Should be deported with no money. Why are we rewarding criminals?!

Obviously some on mumsnet think it's funny that people are annoyed. Its pretty disgusting that so much money is wasted when people here have needs not met, health, education etc.

Not sure why us spending tax payers' money on criminals is "yawn". It's shocking when you consider the state of health, education and everything else in this country.

My politics are in the centre - and I would like to see the left and right collaborate rather than fight, but comments like "Hi Nige" and "Yawn" actually make me feel more inclined to vote Reform next time.

No its not the voluntary scheme. This lot were forced deportations due to crime including murder.

They aren't forced deportations. They are deemed to be voluntary as they aren't being fought.

Pity the government hadn't thought of that 😕

Isn’t it like a refund of their fare to get to the Uk?

This is the voluntary scheme, yes? They're incentivised to return home because it is far less complex, and subsequently far less expensive, for us to process.

They aren't illegal immigrants or asylum seekers. They are people who lived here with the right to remain.

The taxi costs for asylum seekers is due to health care provision not moving with the individual when they move them across the country and isn't the norm. Or do you think we should be expecting an asylum seeker to make their own way on a 250 mile trip to see a doctor, paying from their £9 a week?

2000 to not fight deportation sounds like a good deal for the gov to me. I imagine the costs involved with forcing someone to be deported would be way higher.

wizzywig · 24/09/2025 22:25

No, these are criminals, sentence served, deported back to their home after committing some pretty serious crimes here. We don't have to give them money, just sod off. Many needed several staff to get on planes, some 7 staff! Then out came the bank cards. When landing they looked like they were chuffed to be given cash.

He’s not ‘getting votes’. He’s currently leading in some polls almost four years before a general strike election might be called based on populist policies he doesn’t have a plan for.

OK, I can see why he's is leading in the polls. Tory and Labour have both been ineffective.
