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's not a threat; it's a promise.

And can Reform get that to happen if they win the GE? Would the Lords not need to approve that?

🤣🤣🤣🤣Farage is full of shit.

It could be done by having for example the subsistence payment having to be paid in person at specific locations. Or temporary work permits restricted to certain locations. Or accommodation (non detention) being at certain locations. Or the threat that if they are found outside certain registered locations then they could be placed in detention centres etc etc.
So I think that there are plenty of ways it could work.

That's not far off the Nazi ghettos .

Oh god, I can't believe you seriously answered that ...

All of reform is a promise
But its not the good news promise you think it is

Of course it doesn't
But if you give all the easier work to the private sector you gradually decimate the nhs...its not rocket science...

The average stay in an IRC is 1-2 weeks. No-one is in one for years or months.

Divide and Rule.

It's a tactic as old as time.

Political Parties should be banned for stirring up aggressive social division.

Oh and I wonder who'll get the contracts?
Then seats on the board when no longer an MP.

There absolutely are people there for months. Where are you getting your information?

I visit an IRC weekly and there are residents there who have been there for many months. One guy for 18 months.

I haven't got time to look for more recent stats @FernandoSor but

In 2023, roughly 11,539 people were detained for less than 29 days, while 1,004 people were held between 4 and 12 months, and 126 people were held for over a year.

You are aware that these are local council elections and they have no say on where any "detention centres" should be built?
Another load of performative/distractive politics from the party with all the answers but no solutions.

Its really not a promise

they won’t be able to do it 🤷🏻

and i assume that every reform voter would have no problem with those centres being where they live…

(always feel i need to caveat on this type of thread…not planning on voting green and there is already a detention centre reopening where i live)

People absolutely are there for years and months. There have been a number of judicial reviews and at least 2 public inquiries recently which will give you this info, or look at IMB reports or Home Office data.

I guess the Spanish arent included in this?!

Why do you think that all the "easier work " would go to the private sector? If anything it should be the other way round.

I mean why would someone risk their premiums or their private health coverage for say a broken toe when they might need it for something more serious later on?

This. If you don't live on an area with hotels filled with immigrants making no go areas in your own town where woman are afraid to go out at night you have no idea how bad it is.

Way to show you haven't read the full thread.

Look up what a detention centre is. It isn't the same thing as an asylum hotel.

Exactly this. I’m truly shocked that the Reform electorate genuinely believe that they are “voting Starmer out “ on Thursday

They’re going to have a hell of a shock when he’s still there on Saturday.

If there is a bloodbath which has been predicted, I imagine his own party will call a vote of no confidence in him and go for a new leader. Obviously it will take time. None of the Reform voters I know are expecting Starmer gone on Friday. How many Reform voters do you know that believe this?

You’re all Weirdos. The state of you lot. Can’t wait for you to all come off your high horse when reform don’t deliver what they promise
