Migrants get up to £2000 on bankcard after prison sentences

Well, if someone is convicted of a serious enough crime to get banged up and face deportation the law needs changing so that for these people there is no right of appeal (against the deportation), so that is part of the sentence. Right to a family life? Sure, take them with you.

I didn't, however, people don't read what I said.

I never said all Romanians or all migrants, I saud the convicted criminals. Too many people don't read the actual comment and jump in.

I’m disgusting but you have nothing to say about the recent racism against Muslims, black people and Asians?

No one has said people who want less immigration are automatically racist but there are yobs using the current situation as an excuse to target Asians and black people.

:

1. A man was arrested after punching a Muslim and pulling a knife in a racist attack on families outside a mosque in Portsmouth.
2. Racist attacks against 2 Muslim men in York by 15 balaclava clad men
3. A man was arrested after a Sikh woman was raped in the West Midlands in a racist attack

Oh how hyperbolic! This has nothing to do with race and you bloody know it! We have people from every corner of the world here, British kids with amazing heritages. That is the NOT the same as wanting to allow tens of millions more people we have no room to house.

You really are disgusting conflating the two!

Yep and now the yobs repay those people and their descendants by assuming they’re all illegal because they’re black or brown.

That's true.
And post-war we invited people from the commonwealth to come here to prop up a number.ber of industries that were failing. (Not to mention those we recruited to fight for us before that).

We go to poorer countries to recruit NHS and care staff…we are asking people to come here 🤦‍♀️

The US has 5 times the population of the UK so not at all.

The ECHR are now aware of this threat and have invited countries to give ideas for change.

It might take the pressure off, and it’s a watered down version which voters are happy to stay in idk.

ETA I don’t think the concern is our trade it’s whether others would follow. So even the ECHR realise it’s change time.

A few years ago we could probably have got away with leaving it. But now, you have countries like America behaving incredibly erratically. There was a lot of pragmatism shown by EU leaders in terms of not criticising/commenting on any of his crazy policies or sayings. And in fact a lot of flattery despite some of his objectionable actions. But the reward for that has been increasingly erratic trade and economic policies. Tarifs on, tarifs off, tarifs on, tarifs off... .(South Korea came to a big agreement with America to build factories inside America. Then America arrested the workers building the factory/training locals and sent them home in chains.)t's absolutely terrible for businesses. America gets away with it more because they are such a big part of the worlds economy but even so lots of countries are trying to find ways to at least partially decouple because it's so harmful.

We aren't America. If we start acting crazy and erratic other countries will distance themselves through self preservation if nothing else. Part of operating internationally is showing that you are willing to abide by agreements and show consistency. We already hurt our standing a bit not with Brexit but with the way some politicians (Johnson, Truss) behaved afterwards. Most governments don't give a shit about human rights when thinking about trade deals etc. They do care about stability.

Thats before you even start thinking about the protections the ECHR gives to British citizens.

Yes, I think alot of other countries are also looking to leaving the echr for the same reasons as us. There is absolutely no need to be party to it just because of out geography when most of the world isn't. We could be leaders here (in something other than self sabotage).

Exactly. The only European country not party to the ECHR is Russia (and Belarus who do what Russia tell them to do). 46 countries are council members, including the UK.

If you want to leave the ECHR and put yourself on a par with Russia, the rest of Europe will take note and deal with us accordingly.

That’s great. But I think you’ve created an issue for trade where there isn’t one.

I think you’ve misunderstood my post, I’m disagreeing with her.

I think you've misunderstood Easterns post, she was on my side!

Didn’t take you look to drop in clichés.

It was ‘most countries would refuse to trade with us’

Can you see that wouldn’t be the case? It’s not for the countries @Menopausalsourpusslisted

Because the f'ers all appeal deportation and it costs a fortune to fight each appeal and house them during the appeal process.

£2k is a bargain. Look at it another way, the govt is saving hundreds of thousands if not millions by bribing them to go quickly and quietly.

Where did I say ‘no one’ would trade with us? Please do quote it.
