Immigration Detention Centres in Green Constituencies

[Christmastimemisteloeandwine]

Reform”s policy of Immigration detention centres in Green constituencies.

Regardless of your political persuasion, this just demonstrates the dismal state of British politics.

What happened to the governing party governing in the interests of everyone, regardless of who they voted for? And what about Reform voters in Green consistencies?

Fucking awful, the lot of them.

It demonstrates the dismal state of Reform UK

I thought they were going to 'stop the boats' and deport every immigrant anyway? Why would they need detention centres in that case?
Also, why don't they want them in their own constituencies, since that's what Reform voters want? A bit NIMBY.

I think it's just to try to shock people to not vote Green in the local elections.

They won't actually be able to build these detention centres but it keeps Reform relevant.

And it keeps Farage's £5m donation out of the news

My boss is far left and lives in a very affulent area and they do not have migrants hanging about where he lives.

He is far too liberal and accommodating to the masses flooding into the country. Has no idea because it doesnt affect him. Same with those in power, they have no idea.

Its only right that Green areas get what they vote for.

Migrants?

Do you still live in Spain?

It is illegal to use threats as a canvassing ploy, and I presume that is what is intended here.

But a Green area isn’t going to be uniformly Green, is it? In fact it’s entirely plausible that it’ll be less than 50% Green.

Also, if the detention centres are doing their job, why will migrants be hanging about the streets? Unless Farage is getting his excuses in early.

But hey, so long as you get one over your boss, it’s all good. Politics is definitely about revenge and petty scoring, so hey ho.

No one who votes Green is voting for Detention centres. Anywhere.

Its only right that Green areas get what they vote for

Ah yes, the Green Party are famously pro detention centres. And Reform don’t like them at all..

If areas get what they vote for, can Green areas keep the human rights act, and we’ll just have it scrapped from Reform areas?

By voting greens you’re voting for unchecked mass illegal
immigration ( and millions of ‘legal) although I guess as it’s free open borders it would all be legal / so why not put them there if you’re happy with that, perfectly logical to me .

And greens are the most racist party of the lot!

Quite happy to have current human rights act scrapped thanks to- just a new one that doesn’t stick up for criminals over law abiding citizens. Perfect

I suspect the Electoral Commission will be interested in this one. On the face of it looks like it could be an offence under s.8 Elections Act 2022.

This message tells me you have no idea what an immigration removal centre is, and therefore no understanding of this (stupid, publicity stunt) policy, but you're happy to parrot along your agreement with it.

I lived for years in a gorgeous leafy and affluent part of the cotswolds, a couple of minutes from an IRC. You wouldn't know it was there because it's basically a prison. Awful place. No Green voter would want them, in their own constituency or anywhere.

The clue is in the name. Immigration Detention Centre.

They are basically prisons. The residents at the IDC near me are taken there in prison vans that drive right into a secure part of the centre. The security is the same as a prison. They can't get out. Living near an IDC would be pretty quiet, and you'd certainly never see a detainee.

Is it different to the conservative levelling up fund that prioritised conservative voting constituencies over other deprived areas?

Under New Labour in the late 1990s they directed spending on health and education to labour strongholds.

Governments always look to take care of their bases and strongholds. At least reform are being honest about it

Anyone planning to vote Reform in a district where they are not guarunteed to win will hopefully stay at home or think again now.

So where should we put them? We’ve got enough home grown criminals without letting anyone in before they’ve been checked. I hear plenty of outrage but no alternatives. Everyone turns into Rachel Millward on the subject, they want to let anyone in as long as it’s not on their doorstep.

Agree

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the planning meeting discussing Reform's application...who do they think will be on that committee in a Green constituency. 🤣

How is this logical?
Reform are the only party that want detention centres, why not keep them in their own areas/

Bit baffled by this comment. What has Spain got to do with anything?

Exactly! In any event, they have essentially 0 impact on local crime levels but are big employers. And they're near airports, not in "nice" or "bad" areas. Also they employ loads of local people. Can't imagine closing one and laying off loads of residents who work there would be massively popular.

New Labour was trying to help the feckless be better parents etc by ploughing money into health and education and it was the more deprived, Labour voting areas that had issues with this. It was very successful.

I do know loans of Green voters living in leafy areas who never have to worry about a detention centre of young men hanging around leering at their daughters. Why shouldn’t they have lots migrants in their areas if they are so pro migrant. In fact we could save money on the detention centres and ask Green Party members to host them instead.

Yes it’s not lost on me that the people who actually live there don’t like it.
