Boris disbanded his team again - the interns are elsewhere

What's strange about it? I only popped in a couple of weeks ago as I thought the handwringing over Big Dog's alleged return waaaah! was amusing.

This pops on my 'I'm on' but I've never seen anything worth engaging with. Just as you mentioned me thought I'd respond!

Anyway Sunak doing surprisingly well, as is Braverman. Hopefully the evil and dangerous people smuggling will soon be under control.

Showing your true colours now, you also share Braverman's dream then?

My 'true colours'? So you think illegal and dangerous people smuggling is just fine? stuffing small boats with sometimes vulnerable people for a treacherous crossing ? You think that's ok? Riiiiiight.

I'd rather it ended thanks. Legal immigration like every other country has? great.

Saucery · 03/11/2022 15:25

They’ll still stuff small boats with vulnerable people. They don’t give a shit if those people get flown to Rwanda/ catch diphtheria/ drown on the way. They have their money, why should they care?

*this last sentence also applies to the majority of Tory MPs.

DuncinToffee · 03/11/2022 15:28

The UK could reduce the boat crossings by creating safe routes like they used to have.

But keep cheering for Braverman, we see you.

And just in case you read this rag

The Sun has a habit of using this image of migrants on a Kent beach in Dungeness (left).

The men in the photo are part of a mixed group saved by the RNLI. Let's look at some other photos taken on that day of the group that arrived...👇1/

Suella Braverman arrived at Manston migrant camp today by Chinook after visiting Dover.

No one thinks that’s okay do they? It just so happens that quite a few people also think the factors and actions that led to this situation are also ‘not ok’.

I'd rather it ended thanks. Legal immigration like every other country has? great

we had that. Your lot dismantled it and opened up vulnerability to criminal gangs to take advantage of. Which they are. On a massive scale.

Braverman, Patel - it doesn’t matter, neither of them want to do anything about the criminal networks making huge sums of money off of our ridiculous immigration system that is quite happy to turn away from the forced slavery and drug networks operating under our noses so long as they can still point the finger of blame at some poor sods in a dinghy.

Those pictures break my heart. That could be any of us, but for an accident of birth.

AdamRyan · 03/11/2022 16:02

Large parts of Africa are becoming uninhabitable because of climate change. There's a lot of unrest in other parts of the world. All countries have immigration, we are not unusual in this regard, and a lot of it is "illegal" because people are coming from countries without good identification systems, or fleeing with nothing

Piggywaspushed · 03/11/2022 16:50

I'd love to identify what Braverman is doing 'well'. Other than blowing on the old dogwhistle.

Blossomtoes · 03/11/2022 16:52

She’s travelling by Chinook helicopter today - to Kent. Fuck only knows what that’s cost. Still it’s only taxpayers’ money. 🤷‍♀️

She's great at photo opportunities at cake shops of her Fb is anything to go by!

At least £3,500 per hour

Why by helicopter :(
Unbelievable

Saucery · 03/11/2022 17:26

Chinook fits her Battle/Invasion narrative, I expect.

Cornettoninja · 03/11/2022 17:28

What’s the female equivalent using a vehicle as a penis extension?

The woman is a complete joke.

Notonthestairs · 03/11/2022 17:29

Braverman hasn't actually achieved anything yet unless you think security issues and detaining asylum seekers beyond legal limits is an achievement. Sound bites about tofu doesn't make the Home Office more effective.

Conservatives have been in power 12 years. They continue to lurch right to set themselves as different to the version that came before- new & improved Conservatives!

We know they have no intention of resolving immigration - it's a useful distraction from the state of public services and the economy. If they genuinely wanted to tackle it they'd make liaising with France the priority, & invest in making the application process quicker and more efficient.

Braverman will fail and a new one will be shipped in to fail in a new and improved way.

tobee · 03/11/2022 17:53

Yep.

tobee · 03/11/2022 17:59

Oh my much longer reply got eaten.

But basically it's a distraction from them not having a clue about what to do about the mess they've created since 2010. How can Sunak not know what to do when he was chancellor so recently?

Roussette · 03/11/2022 19:28

Maybe Janiie needs to look at this and study the images of men, women and children making that perilous journey

We are not being invaded. This is a deliberate act to whip up hysyeria, appeal to their vile tacist base, and divert attention away from their inaction
