Migrants get up to £2000 on bankcard after prison sentences

[Ihatetomatoes]

Just watched 47 migrants being deported, costing hundreds of thousands, private flights, huge number of security guards, the migrants then get given cash cards! Back to Romania after committing crimes here including murder, sexual offences, pedophiles with money to help them resettle in their own country.

ITV news - our own go hungry and cold.

We are total mugs here in the UK.

On a separate story migrants having taxis to appointments, free NHS. I mean we have to get to our own way.

Mugs. No wonder many people are unhappy. These are convicted criminals, being pandered to.

Acknowledging that immigration is a problem but that there isn't a quick and easy answer, and we need to treat people (even criminals) with a basic level of human decency doesn't make anyone a 'far left Marxist'.

Your arguments are ridiculous.

They are being booted out and in the cheapest way legally possible.

Or as I like to put it there intellectually impaired! Or in my Mother’s Day would be called thick!

Because 35000 immigrants have been deported you can't have it both ways, people are complaining about immigration and 35000 have just been deported and yet here people are still moaning.

£2k not to fight deportation sounds like a pretty good deal to me. What would they be doing otherwise you have to ask? Using local resources, claiming benefits long term etc? Potentially committing more crime and then going back to prison? Surely that’s a much more expensive cost to our resources (both monetary and physical)

Not sure what you are expecting asylum seekers to do about getting to their care appointments. Die? Spend three days on a bus, unsure of where they are? Run off and work illegally? Source medication from the black market?

So, come up with a better solution.

And don't, PLEASE, tell me it's a Reform Government.

I've scraped better things than Reform off of the sole of my shoe.

You absolutely can have it both ways
They can be deported without any monetary advantage being given to them by the depurators
Oh how they probably piss themselves laughing as they use the money to come back with 🙄

Oh, it’s gone down - it was 79% an hour ago.

Posters who continuously say, Nothing to see here have clearly never been to certain parts of the country, parts which have changed beyond all recognition.

I simply can’t fathom why Western culture is considered so disposable? Do posters honestly believe that the subjugation of women is acceptable? Child marriage? Girls having to be fully covered? Not receiving schooling?

I think that given a few years we will be balkanised - there will be distinct groups living incompatible lives.

Wow - you do know that all Muslims don't "come" from Pakistan don't you? Curry is also a staple on many other countries.

Name these parts of the country. As a Londoner I should be fascinated to hear where they are.

Ok, Bradford, Luton, Slough … parts of Birmingham, parts of Leeds… these are just what I have seen.

I'll bet a substantial sum of cash that 99% of the population has no idea what the current level of immigration is, how much is legal, illegal, or refugees; and whether it's going up or down.

See knee jerk comments above "no other countries would allow this" - really? How does Germany deal with foreign nationals convicted of crimes? France?

"We're a laughing stock" - really? Who's laughing? Are there really countries out there who seamlessly balance their need to treat people fairly with their need not to have their hospitality exploited? If so which ones and what can we learn from them?

Just repeating phrases you heard on social media or the Mail isn't helpful, maybe think about what you're actually saying and dial down the hyperbole so we can find grown-up solutions?

I imagine plenty will use at least some of the money to make their way back here.

It’s absolutely nuts.

My community changed significantly with the advent of giant supermarket chains and the internet.

I didn't realise that child marriage was legal in this country. Aware though certain factions in US want to lower the age of consent. Hopefully Nige doesn't want to introduce that here too. 🤞

And because increased life expectancy and new treatments mean that people are living longer, and that health conditions that were not survivable or treatable a decade or two ago can now be treated. Those new treatments are often very costly, because the R&D costs have to be recouped.

No-one bats an eyelid when someone reaches 80 these days, but when I was young, 75 was considered very old.

I think that poster is pointing out the incompatibilities between Islamic countries’ culture and British culture.
I don’t think it’s shocking to say that many aspects of Islamic culture are incredibly misogynistic and a large number of Islamic countries have norms and values which we would not be happy to accept.

These were ALL convicted criminals, not voluntary ones

I think the "voluntary" bit hinges on the point that they've agreed to go rather than starting the process of enless appeals, @Ihatetomatoes - except that having beeen bribed too many will return for another go

Obviously there's got to be due process, but surely one answer is to change the access to so many appeals. It wouldn't appeal to the maany lawyers making a packet out of this, but would certainly save a great deal of money in the long run

My point is was trying to make was that any other country has a process for residency everyone but uk, this has nothing to do with Brexit, but more about progress, we don't have such progress,

As for France, if you come across without proper paperwork, and all the other stuff you need to take up residence, there for your returned back to France via boat as like all the 1000s that have already arrived here, not fly them back to there own country, that's up them and not the tax payers of the UK,

I agreed until the last bit about the vote for Farage the garage mouth.
If they were getting deported I do not understand the 2k gift

They received it in exchange for agreeing not to appeal against their deportation, which can get bogged down in legal process for a very long time and cost tens of thousands more from the public purse.

I don't think the issue is the cooking itself, rather that it is a health and safety risk. Taping up fire alarms and using electricity near water is dangerous.

See my perception was that the poster was pointing to the degradation of certain areas of the country because of immigration. My point refers to the fact that life and communities have changed but that this is due to a wide variety of reasons, not in the least the rise of capitalism. However, it's easier to blame the immigrants.

There are certainly elements of islamic culture which do not align with my own. So do elements of the Catholic faith. Thankfully we do live in a county which separates state from religion and we have laws which protect us.

I think ANY foreign criminals should be deported on departure from prison, without the gift of 2k.
We have enough homegrown criminals as it is
