They have powerful backing as well, especially from the US.

Not as much from the US as they thought they were getting 😆

@HandPulledNoodles You honestly believe that people want to be governed by a party that imports sexual perverts and rapists ? Really? SMH

This is just nonsense though. No government ‘imports…perverts and rapists’. Asylum seekers come. Some will be dangerous but it really isn’t the level of issue you are suggesting - and it certainly isn’t deliberate.
You don’t honestly believe the government deliberately sets out to bring rapists? Because that’s what you wrote.

Asylum seekers arent in homeless hostels. Different budgets, different issues. We use a chunk of the overseas aid budget to fund asylum hotels. And the need is decreasing because the backlog is being cleared.

So how is it that we have so many wandering around my town ?
All they are doing is kicking the can down the road.
And don't forget they are now coming over by lorry as well as boat.

Reform do occupy more of the nation’s collective head space than they ought to. It is highly unlikely that they will ever form a government.

the backlog is decreasing nationally. You d9 understand that doesn’t mean that all hotels and other accommodations are shut immediately?

I'd say you're being a bit silly now but you reached that a fair few pages ago.

"Imports perverts and rapists" and you wonder why l used the word rabid.

They’ve always come by lorries. The small boats have been a post-Brexit phenomenon and the numbers are now falling substantially. That’s obviously a disaster for Reform and something that the leadership will be praying gets reversed.

I believe they don't know who they are because they are undocumented. No-one knows what crimes they may have committed in their own country.
The government knows they are a risk, hence the 7 page document telling them "not to rape women in UK".
Shabana Mahnood has already said she won't put migrants in accommodation next to schools, so she must be concerned about some being paedophiles.
So no, it's not nonsense.

All intended to placate the piss-stink freaks who spread disinformation that asylum seekers are all rapists and child molesters.

Well, if we weren't spending £4 billion a year housing migrants then we'd have a bit more to put into the economy.

That’s not how the economy works. We don’t spend anything like £4 billion housing migrants.

People cn care about homelessness and asylum seekers.

Reform are not interested in tackling homelessness.
They prefer taking foreign money,

But tackling immigration will leave the council with more money to address hopelessness. This isn't a complicated thing to comprehend.

Teenagers in schools get leaflets and lessons about consent too. As do many workplaces. Daft to make a big deal about this particular leaflet.
You said they imported rapists. Do you think that’s deliberate then? Because that’s what your words mean.

You don't really get the full picture of the walking stick incident until you watch both angles at the same time

First full speed, then slo-mo and annotated.

Is this particular clip on u tube?

It won’t. The overseas aid budget pays for asylum accommodation, not council tax.

So more people are leaving UK than arriving.
OK, so what skill sets are arriving and what skills are leaving? Do we know?

Not quite. Net migration is significantly down but more people are still arriving in the UK than leaving.

We know that 57% of those leaving originally came to the UK to study - so their stay in the UK was never intended to be permanent - they completed their studies and then went home.

We also know that there hasn't been a recent increase in emigration amongst British nationals.

There is some evidence that, amongst skilled workers, the highest-paid "skilled worker" migrants are more likely to leave than lower-paid ones. We don't have data on the reasons for this, but anecdotally, I know a few families that have left due to concerns about the rise of the far right and fears about changes that a Reform government might make to indefinite leave to remain etc. The higher earners inevitably have more options to choose from.

The main reason behind the fall in net migration isn't an increase in the number of people leaving the country but a fall in the number coming in. This is true across most categories of immigration. Fewer asylum applications. Fewer small boat arrivals. Fewer students. And fewer people coming for work.

There are obviously legitimate questions about whether government policies, and the wider political climate, might be contributing to the greater likelihood that highly skilled/high earning migrants might choose to leave. We know a lot of people who fall into this category and I do know that the hostile environment/anti-migrant sentiment isn't making them eager to stay.
