ANewDawnAtLast

[HoorayHurrah]

AIBU to think that tonight's victory brings in a new dawn.
A world where there is better benefits system, a world where childcare isn't the constant headache it is now, a world where workers's rights will be respected and expanded,
a world where private schools are no longer charity's, a world where those who can afford it are taxed, a world where asylum seekers are not sent off on a plane but treated with respect, a world where everyone will be housed, a world with more medical staff, a world where SEN children don't have to beg for taxi;s to go to school, a world where diagnosis or those with ND conditions children and adult is made easier, a world where every child has free lunches not just in school but in the holidays to.
A kinder gentler world at long last.

Why do you think we need more people coming over in boats?

I really hope this is satire, because if this is a genuine post from a geniune teacher, our country is screwed.

I would rather they are flown safely. Boats is what the desperate used under tory rule but hopefully now proper flights will be provided. I do not want people to risk there lives is boats.

@ahagiraffe a very rude and unneeded comment. It is because of teachers and medical staff that this country is not screwed.

Immigrants do many jobs here. Where I am the culture is diverse, and they really add to the economy.
I would rather people could come safely, and not on boats.

HS2 was a Labour initiative

I don’t see the OP saying this. She says treat asylum seekers with respect and not break international law with the Rwanda nonsense (how much money wasted on something they knew would never happen?). Labour are clear on stopping boats. There are better ways to accept asylum seekers.

A Labour idea. The Tories are the ones who mismanaged it. They’ve been in for 14years, not 14 months.

Why do you think all immigrants ‘come over on boats’?

This.

@FinalCeleryScheme have you missed that TikTok polls show major Reform win? That their share of vote amongst youth was huge?

Labour believe that giving vote to 16-18yo will increase their electorate, it might be a huge mistake and bring Reform in.

(I'm also concerned by misuse of there and their, too many times for typos for teacher)

You really don’t write like a teacher would. I won’t specify why. I am not sure you are being genuine on this thread.

You sound utterly delusional OP. I feel bad for the people who voted Labour who genuinely believe what the party proposed will actually happen.

It's these same people who probably voted for Brexit as well and look how well that's turned out

I don’t really care about the boats - certainly it’s nothing compared to the numbers that Italy and Greece have to process and accommodate - though lots of people seem to. But how is Labour clear about stopping the boats? All they’ve done is said they’d “smash” the gangs (doing what the Tories have been doing for years 🙄) and er…nothing else.

This is a very vacuous and uncertain government.

Oh come on, the majority of the migrants in the boats are coming in that way because they know that if there was a legal route they wouldn't be accepted. Many of them have been refused asylum in Europe.

I am in favour of immigration but it has to be controlled. We cannot let everyone who wants to come here in because it's just not viable.

This. I'm not part of your "we" either. I dont want labour. It worries me where they are getting all this money from.

I didn't say that.

@nearlylovemyusername I was not aware that there had to be no mistakes. I am typing quickly and am slightly dyslexic. I am not an English teacher . .Anyway as people are now becoming personal calling me stupid I will leave you all to it..

The Tories have said they’d deal with the gangs without doing anything about it. I read recently most are biased in the U.K. As with many things, Labour will make a difference by actually doing something - a proper attention to looking for them and prosecuting for eg. They’ve also talked about creating safe routes, and maybe cooperating with France who offered Calais processing at one point. Nobody is getting ina boat for all their spare cash if they can be processed safely. This stuff is well known.

Well you implied it by asking why the poster thought we needed more people in boats when she had just talked about migrants.

a world where those who can afford it are taxed

WE ALREADY ARE TAXED ENOUGH!

Your spelling and grammar is terrible for a start …

No I didn't imply that "all immigrants come over in boats".

This

Why did you say the poster thought we needed more people 8n boats them? She didn’t say that. She said treat migrants with some respect (paraphrasing because I can’t see the full post).

Will this co-operating with France mean they will want even more than the 50 odd million a year we currently give them to stop the small boat crossings? I hope not.
