This is some dystopian lord of the flies hell. Those poor women. Burned on the boat. Wth. Poor man stabbed to death. Why are the people that did this then going to be roaming free in the UK? Why are they allowed to enter the UK in the first place? Why are gangs not being 'smashed'?

Why won't the government tell us the truth about their crime rates?

What a shame they don't use 'all powers necessary' to stop unknown undocumented young men from misogynistic cultures streaming into the UK.

If only 1 in 100 asylum claims are genuine (according to a recent whistle-blower) and since 2018 only 4% of boat migrants have been returned to their country of origin, then we are 100% fucked and 100% stupid.

If only our government would do something about it. instead of concentrating on paying them and encouraging them to come here, Instead of leaving women and girls more at risk of sexual crime, instead of increasing benefits, instead of decreasing defence spending, and instead of encouraging growth providers to leave the country. Imbecilic, it really is.

What we could be if it weren't for the above. We could be a thriving happy country like we were before Labour began the fck up. Instead we have this.

I think there is a specific problem on this case because the village due to provide housing has a population of 1200 according to Wikipedia (who got it from the census).

Adding in 1200 male asylum seekers will double that population. A local group there points out that it means there will be 1 woman to every 6 men and 1 child to 18 adults. Being a small village with little to do and with limited transport to a large settlement it is a recipe for disaster. It is not somewhere I would want to be and not a situation I would wish on local women.

I don’t agree with more men in the country at all though, for these same reasons.

Yes. But Rachael Maskell has been speaking positively about immigration for years. It's was ok for other people, but as soon as it affected her, it's a problem. Typical Labour hypocrite.

Fury grows at pro-immigration Labour MP now upset at migrants moving to her town

The Labour MP has fumed at the Government's plan to house 1,200 migrants in North Yorkshire.

A Labour MP has been branded a "hypocrite" after opposing a Government plan to house migrants near her constituency. Rachael Maskell fumed at the proposal to house 1,200 at RAF Linton-on-Ouse in North Yorkshire, mentioning shortages of water, sewage capacity and the supply of electricity. “It’s just the wrong site," she said, adding that the base is located next to a primary school and nursery. There are only four buses a day into York, Ms Maskell also said.

That's not fair though, sadly. I am sure there are many in her area that can't stand her or her performative 'bleating' (to quote the lovely Rachel Reeves. Who? Quite)

Migrants and refugees welcome here… just not near me! Green deputy leader complains about 600 asylum seekers being housed in her local area

Green deputy leader Rachel Millward is leading opposition to the housing of 600 asylum seekers in her local area - despite her party's vow to 'welcome' migrants.
In a recent letter to the Home Office, Ms Millward complained about Government plans to temporarily use a military site in East Sussex as asylum accommodation.
She said her 'strong objection' to the use of Crowborough training camp for housing migrants was based on 'safety' fears for both locals and asylum seekers themselves.
Ms Millward, who is also deputy leader of Wealden District Council, penned a joint letter with the local authority's leader James Partridge, a Liberal Democrat.
It stated: 'We simply do not have information to reassure us that the wellbeing and safety of both asylum seekers and local communities will be properly safeguarded.'
The councillors added that 'quite clearly accommodating 600 men on one site with no right to work brings significant risks'.
They expressed their concerns about staffing resources at the camp, policing, and 'the additional strain on already over-stretched public services'.

Fortunately the days of the left shutting down any unease and concern about the huge numbers of people, particularly men, who have no desire to integrate and whose cultures are incompatible with Western values are over

It is indeed fortunate that those days are over, @LoveItaly, but a lot of people had a lot of fun telling anyone who raised these issues - no matter how rationally - how racist they were and you can't expect them to appreciate others waking up

And we can't "make" France do anything, @Parker231, though we could certainly stop paying them millions to take measures they've no intention of adopting.
As ever the French will prioritise what suits them - something we could perhaps learn from - but I'm not sure what's to stop us intercepting boats, towing them back to the French coast and leaving them there. I don't imagine they'd be pleased, but with enough effort the issue could well solve itself once it was absorbed that they're really not going to reach the UK like this

We couldn't just enter French territorial waters without their approval (sovereignty is a thing) as it would be considered a hostile act of aggression.

"UN Warns Britain over Accepting Too Many Fake Asylum Seekers"

Will the UK listen though? Once these fake asylum seekers are here they seem to hang around, even the ones who commit terrorism, murder, rape and child abuse have a range of lawyers willing to fight to keep them here at any cost to the UK, it's people or it's children.

Edited

As they (and others like them - religion, say no more) give votes to Labour (as with other similar governments across Europe, Germany, France, Spain anyone), there will be zero action from Labour. They will take in as many asylum seekers as they can, to keep everyone dependent on the state. Just how they like it. And fck everyone else. Especially the women and children at risk from unchecked predatory males, and especially tax payers. As a female high rate tax payer with daughters - I hate this Labour government. They do nothing for me or my family - in fact they take take and take more. If my kids weren't in education here, we'd have moved away by now.
