Page 5 | Immigration Detention Centres in Green Constituencies

Reform”s policy of Immigration detention centres in Green constituencies. Regardless of your political persuasion, this just demonstrates the dismal state of British politics. What happened to the governing party governing in the interests of everyone, regardless of who they voted for? And what about Reform voters in Green consistencies? Fucking awful, the lot of them.

So... does he think he's Prime Minister already? Or that he's definitely going to be in 2029? The arrogant sod!

Perhaps he thinks these local elections are the same as a GE?

In any case, this doesn't surprise me. I've always been clear in my mind who and what Farage is. Hopefully more people wil now see it too.

And it keeps Farage's £5m donation out of the news

Absolutely. It’s so pathetically transparent. I can’t believe anyone could fall for it.

Exactly. I think Polanski is a complete twat and wouldn’t ever vote for him or his party. But it’s just thick to suggest that being pro immigration must mean that you have no problem with detention centres.

Yeah it's all very Trumpian isn't it?

Make lots of noisy unpalatable statements to wear people out so they can't focus on what youre actually up to.

Farage is a conniving little cunt if ever ive seen one.

AbundantFlowers · 05/05/2026 20:10

It’s not up to them.
Twats.

My boss is far left and lives in a very affulent area and they do not have migrants hanging about where he lives.

He is far too liberal and accommodating to the masses flooding into the country. Has no idea because it doesnt affect him. Same with those in power, they have no idea.

Its only right that Green areas get what they vote for.

When you say migrants, do you mean illegal immigrants, asylum seekers or immigrants who have come to this country legally?

Sorry but this pretend outrage won’t work. If you vote green and want mass immigration, what is your problem with having detention centres in the area you live?

Or do you not mind mass immigration as long as it’s not in your backyard?

I'm fine with having immigrants as my neighbours. Most of my block are immigrants.

I'm not fine with a political party threatening to build an immigration detention centre here as a way of threatening people to vote for them/not to vote green.

People who are happy with mass immigration want a functioning immigration system that wouldn't necessitate building more immigration detention centres.

I imagine green voters don’t want detention centres anywhere. They aren’t being hypocritical by not wanting them in their area, because they also don’t want them in anyone else’s.

Reform voters are clearly viewed as hypocritical by the party, because they are the ones who want detention centres, but want them somewhere else.

New Labour was trying to help the feckless be better parents etc by ploughing money into health and education and it was the more deprived, Labour voting areas that had issues with this. It was very successful.

I do know loans of Green voters living in leafy areas who never have to worry about a detention centre of young men hanging around leering at their daughters. Why shouldn’t they have lots migrants in their areas if they are so pro migrant. In fact we could save money on the detention centres and ask Green Party members to host them instead.

Young men in immigration detention centers are not hanging on street corners. They are not free to leave the centre.

At least understand the basics of what you are saying.

Detention centres don’t have men leering at anyone because you can’t get out of a detention centre. IRCs are secure, prison-like, and designed to stop people escaping.

Actually live where?

In immigration detention centres? No, people don't like living there.

Plummagic · 05/05/2026 20:01

Using threats to grab votes is not a good look for grifter Farage.

Is it different to the conservative levelling up fund that prioritised conservative voting constituencies over other deprived areas?

Under New Labour in the late 1990s they directed spending on health and education to labour strongholds.

Governments always look to take care of their bases and strongholds. At least reform are being honest about it

Reform are the only party that want detention centres, why not keep them in their own areas/

Show quote history

Exactly! In any event, they have essentially 0 impact on local crime levels but are big employers. And they're near airports, not in "nice" or "bad" areas. Also they employ loads of local people. Can't imagine closing one and laying off loads of residents who work there would be massively popular.

By voting greens you’re voting for unchecked mass illegal
immigration ( and millions of ‘legal) although I guess as it’s free open borders it would all be legal / so why not put them there if you’re happy with that, perfectly logical to me .

And greens are the most racist party of the lot!

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the planning meeting discussing Reform's application...who do they think will be on that committee in a Green constituency. 🤣

xanthomelana · 05/05/2026 19:15

So where should we put them? We’ve got enough home grown criminals without letting anyone in before they’ve been checked. I hear plenty of outrage but no alternatives. Everyone turns into Rachel Millward on the subject, they want to let anyone in as long as it’s not on their doorstep.

TimeFlysWhenYoureHavingRum · 05/05/2026 19:14

Anyone planning to vote Reform in a district where they are not guarunteed to win will hopefully stay at home or think again now.

The clue is in the name. Immigration Detention Centre.

They are basically prisons. The residents at the IDC near me are taken there in prison vans that drive right into a secure part of the centre. The security is the same as a prison. They can't get out. Living near an IDC would be pretty quiet, and you'd certainly never see a detainee.
