To ask what you think about Starmer’s plan to stop the boats?

[WhereIsMyJumper]

I cannot see how his ‘one in one out’ plan is going to help. I also can’t understand why France is cooperating with us. What’s the incentive?

If you don’t agree with this plan, what would your answer be?

TBF quite a lot of this years intake wouldn't qualify. Including our Business Secretary who isn't qualified at all!

Not just that. We spend more per person, and even if it’s not great it’s better than many other countries. Plus higher grant rate.

Really? I'd opt for the most cushty number and that happens to be us.

I think that should apply across the board. This isn't a partisan comment.

What is cushy about us?

Do you have the statistics on that?

Well who else has put on their CV an actual professional qualification that they don't actually have? (A crinimal offence, mind)

Or got into tje Cabinet by pretending they had experience and a position that they didn't?

We can say "not partisan" but it does seem a teeny bit partisan?

Not much these days. Too many people you see. 😉

Let me see... Free bed and board usually in a fancy hotel. Free food. Free healthcare and 50 quid chucked in for good measure.
Asylum support: What you'll get - GOV.UK

You think? Immigration is a global problem. And it will get worse.

Would you like to swap?

Shared hotel room, £49 preloaded on card per week to live on, less if your accommodation is catered. Not allowed to work whilst your claim is being processed. Protesters outside. Scapegoated.

Fancy hotel? Even a 5* star *hotel is just a room without the 5 star service provided.

Healthcare, basic human provision. Unless you would like illnesses going unchecked.

You’re right- it is illegal, but the minute they say they are claiming asylum, they become legal- insane!

Still better than than a tent in Calais. A lot are working illegally with their accommodation etc paid!

If you look it up there’s an overview.

The UK spends significantly more per asylum seeker than many other developed countries, particularly on housing and related support. In 2023, the UK spent an estimated £25,600 per asylum seeker, which was two and a half times more than its closest G7 peer, Canada.

You wouldn't want to see tent camps here I reckon

Target the companies that employ illegal workers.

It was before Brexit- can’t be done now!

Can you not link to the source of that overview?

Pre Brexit was only a few hundred and we took more than we sent back.

Don’t you think if it were that simple that is what we would be doing? Unfortunately, due to Brexit we aren’t allowed to do this any more

No, because I belong here. I'm sure some pensioners wouldn't mind swapping though! They wouldn't have to choose between heating or eating.

Yes all the things I have listed are cushty. Pray tell which other countries offer the level of care that we do? Last I checked Macron had them living in tents.

Daft question! He’s not in government- how could his party have achieved anything?

It’s the Google overview. Feel free to do similar.

And lets not even get started on the sexual assaults and rapes.

What about people who lie about DV convictions?
