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.

I hate this argument. Yes, we have loads of criminals. There are some really shitty British citizens, born and bred.

But that doesn’t mean we add to them.

If I could kick those British criminals out of the country I would, but sadly we have no choice but to tolerate them and house them in prison, or pray they don’t beat, rape or murder us.

But I repeat, that’s not a reason to invite more criminals into the country and keep them here.

You’re right, we have enough to worry about.

Yes, Starmer has personally called Ubers for migrants to go to a GP appontment/swan feast/5 star hotel/ insert propaganda here just to troll you.

You'd vote Reform because people on here comment with "Hi Nice" and "Yawn"? Wow.

This is the Early Release Scheme, OP.
Only certain foreign nationals are eligible. They are being deported (for the crimes they committed) and they were also liable to removal (for being here illegally in some way). By doing this, the UK is saving money on further prison time and the cost of administrative removal. Both would cost us much more than £2000.

Farage et al are relying on people like you, who believe the media and spread misinformation without researching the truth.

They can get one with the doctor who they are otherwise being taken to visit 800 miles away.

Thanks for the information. It was certainly portrayed like that.

It’s interesting that the US is the only comparator in this debate, and is scorned by the left (although properly insured or self-pay US patients receive excellent care).

There are a whole plethora of alternatives across the European continent that are neither communist (NHS) or self-pay/insure (USA). I’d take getting ill anywhere back in France over running the gauntlet with hordes of the unwashed in an NHS A&E, following which (if I’m lucky) I’ll be given a bed in a shared ward with no privacy, poor infection control and hygiene and expected to be eternally grateful to the sainted NHS, like some kind of supplicant. It’s weird.

Thing is though people swallow that much crap they'll probably think you're being serious 😭

I watched the ITV programme, if the information is incorrect its down to the way the programme presented it.

Be careful for what you wish for. Don't know if heard about the British journo who was shot in the leg by ICE agents in LA a couple months ago? Well, he is an old friend. Despite having full insurance for his who family, over 2K a month, he was left with an £80k bill at the end, and a refusal from the insurance to cover wound changing and walking aids. Luckily for him he saved several thousand as married to a nurse, but honestly, we do not want this system.

Whether Starmer is personally making the taxi calls or not is irrelevant. It’s undeniable that Labour are doing an awful job. Truly, unbelievably awful. Worse than the Tories,
and I really didn’t think that was possible.
I cannot believe how economically illiterate they are. This country is going to be in a terrible state in another 4 years. It’s going to be bad for everyone except illegal migrants and human rights lawyers at this rate.

Absolutely. Please don't believe the media.

They would be going back to their home country, so their own government could sort out their benefits.

Really? I don’t think you’re really centre if a couple of throwaway remarks on a social media site would sway you to Reform:

I think it’s how you watched it!

The cards were only given to certain people on that flight not to everyone!!

Plus I said “yawn” and then went on to explain my reasoning!

Not at all what I wrote, but you seem to have Starmer’s instinct for politics (ie none). The UK is in quite a febrile state, because we’re borrowing 600 million quid a day, workers are about to be taxed up the hoop again, welfare spending is through the roof and we seem unable to control our borders. Starmer and his dim little sixth form debating society government need to get a grip on the optics, and should realise that the press will be looking for every example of state largesse towards boat arrivals. Taxis from Aberdeen to Durham are ludicrous and obscene, by any measure.

I will never vote Reform - we are a mixed race family. But FFS, one or both of the main parties needs to get a lot better at politics if we don’t want to lurch any further towards installing Frog Face as PM.

If a certain proportion of Brits are criminals it's therefore obvious that a certain proportion of immigrants might be too.

But people forget that the large majority of immigrants are law-abiding good people, many of whom have fled persecution or war-zones, or simply want a better life. It's not fair that they are all tarred with the same brush, especially when threads like this spread misinformation. It just leads to racism and hate crimes.

I watched the ITV report and I thought the journalist said the cash cards were given to "some" (not all) of the deportees. Presumably those who agreed not to contest deportation, went quietly, etc., so saving the cost of expensive legal appeals.

I agree this point should have been emphasised more, both in the report and in the interview with the Home Secretary that followed.

They are trying, which is more than the tories who gave up on immigration (and allowed record number of legal migrants in) and to say worse under tories is unfair.

More than happy to welcome immigrants who come here to work and we know who they are and where they are from. If they turn out to be criminals, then they should be deported forcefully.

Not so happy to host people who ditch their identification/docs. We should know who is entering our country, so we can be sure they aren’t criminals.

Then you’re stupid. Voting for a proven liar because some total stranger on mumsnet said ‘Yawn’ to yet another post to beat immigrants with. People are tired of having this discussion,that’s what he yawn is for.

I would be very surprised to hear that the taxi policy has only been in place since July last year. I don't think you should be singling out Labour for responsibility for this.

If it was as easy as ‘just deport’, it would be done. Therefore if it is possible to convince those individuals to voluntarily return- it saves the UK money -removes undesirables from our communities, to me it’s a no brainier

Until recently certain countries seemed to be exempt from even having to disclose any criminal past when applying for a visa and it's also down to the home office to double check the rest - I wonder how much attention is paid to that in reality, is every visa checked, even for holiday makers or students? If so, do they even have access to another country's records?. It's insane how far too easy going the UK is/was.
