Sorry not read through the thread. She uses gross exaggeration of scale of people coming over in small boats in the video - the U.K. takes relatively little asylum seekers eg U.K. had 75,000 asylum claims in 2022 against 180,000 in France, Germany 296,555 and of the 25m displaced people in the world who have left their country 0.032% have come to the U.K. This 75,000 figure does not include the 5000 coming under a resettlement scheme in 2022 or the Hong Kong and Ukraine schemes. She also uses incorrect language as majority of those coming across are asylum seekers who by international law are not illegals.
Due to bad head pain can only type a little at mo, so I will copy and paste text from an article about Lineker’s comment that mirror my thoughts further:
“Did Lineker call Suella Braverman a Nazi? No.
Did he call the Government Nazis? No.
Did he make a sober comparison between the language used by the Home Secretary and the language used in 1930s Germany to instil propagandist fear into a population to make them believe that their way of life was under threat by an ‘enemy’ group of people. Yes.
The language being used by Braverman for some time now, both specifically – like the time she called the small boats crisis an ‘invasion’ – and in general terms – such as her consistent demonization of refugees – IS reminiscent of 1930s Germany, something she has been challenged on publicly by a Holocaust survivor.
Asylum seekers will be arrested and detained in make-shift detention camps, without access to bail or judicial review, and kept there until they can be deported to either a third country like Rwanda or their own country.
If they are fleeing persecution, if they are victims of human trafficking – it won’t matter to the Home Office because they will be banned from ever entering the UK ever again.
No new safe routes were announced.”
