Who expects a Govt Border Control IT system to work?

Grin the hard of thinking along with the sunlit uplands they are still awaiting.

mrslaughan,
I have plenty of intellectual capacity. The fact is you disagree with me so resort to nastiness and accusations.
I have never said that our Government could not introduce restrictions on EU people, nor did I say that we could not have had a system for non EU people. I said I was pleased with the points based system that is going to be introduced. There is a difference.
Illegal immigrants will be deported to their country of origin. Refugees will be welcomed. There is a difference.

Sunny uplands indeed, wewereliars. Wink

I don't think it was right for us to admit from the EU preferentially.

Given that it was reciprocal with us being admitted to other EU countries, why the heck not?

Jason118 · 24/05/2021 00:29

It's typical brexit supporting behaviour - answer a different question to derail the point being made. Why didn't we use our sovereign nation status to protect ourselves from the Indian version? Nothing to do with points based systems, everything to do with getting a trade deal, any trade deal, to deflect from the Brexit fiasco.

www.theguardian.com/world/2021/may/22/no-10-tried-to-block-data-on-spread-of-new-covid-variant-in-english-schools

The government allegedly tried to suppress information on the spread of the Indian variant in schools. I can't imagine why.

Information seen by the Observer reveals that 164 cases of the new variant were linked to schools up to 12 May, or 7.8% of a total of 2,111 cases. Since then, the number of total cases of the new variant has increased to 3,424 cases, a rise of 62%. The number of cases now linked to schools is unknown.

PHE will only say the data will be published “in due course”. It declined to comment on whether Downing Street has played a role in the decision.

Minutes from the Sage advisory group meeting last week warn the new variants are “capable of generating a wave of infections bigger than previous waves”, and that the danger of “overreacting seems small compared to the potential benefit of delaying a third wave until more people are vaccinated”.

"Financial services is following fishing under the Brexit bus"

This article compares predictions ("sunlit uplands") to reality.

Typical Brexshittier; Answers their own question rather then the awkward one asked.

@Peregrina

But Johnson was keen on a trade deal with India, hence his tardiness putting India on the red list.
The only way the UK is going to get a trade deal with India is to basically scrap - not relax - scrap any idea of limiting immigration from there.

British importer and exporters are suffering.

But the EU appears untroubled by the TCA terms, and you can see why. New figures from the EU’s statistics office Eurostat, show that imports from Britain were down by more than a third in the first quarter of 2021. And because exports to the UK fell by only 14 percent, the EU’s trade surplus with the UK increased to €35.8bn.

There are no benefits to Brexit Any person who says there are, unless they are a billionaire or a rabid racist is stupd or lying. That is a fact

Fixed it for you - fortunately racists ain't going to see any benefits either.

How @yellowspanner ?

How do you deport an economic migrant back to Somalia or Syria?
or a failed asylum seeker back to France when the French refuse to take them back? Or a economic migrant with no papers?

What would you do with these people? lock them up in a camp? plenty of old military facilities that could be used.

You keep avoiding this subject, which i would assume means you don't know?

Yellowspanner doesn't seem to have clicked that when we had EU membership we could return those refugees to the country they entered the EU - which given the UK's geographic location meant we had a huge advantage. We gave that away...... along with lots of other things.

Good friend of mine is a CEO of a company exporting to around 12 EU countries, its now got to the stage where he is wondering if the company can survive. He is haemorrhaging customers, particularly over custom delays and VAT rules, currently try to get into some HMRC scheme but this will cost 100s of '000s another alt is to close down stock in UK and open up in Europe, brexit gain for Holland, job loses here.

Anybody who has "plenty of intellectual capacity" never has to asserrt that they do.

Peregrina, the Windrush people were not the "wrong colour". They were/are my colour. Stop being racist.

I am under no obligation to answer any of your questions. I post what I think and feel like posting but I do not resort to racism or name calling.

Wewereliars, what you say is definitely not fact. It is merely your opinion.

I comment on my intellectual capacity because you challenged it as part of nasty name calling.

yellowspanner · 24/05/2021 10:15

Jasjas, you deport them back to Syria or Somalia by plane.

pointythings · 24/05/2021 10:20

Peregrina, the Windrush people were not the "wrong colour". They were/are my colour.

So how does that chime with your stated position that you trust the Home Office to get things right? Time and time again they have been shown to fail - and then have needed to be taken to court over and over again to make them face up to their failure. Windrush compensation has not been fully paid. I do not understand why you trust this organisation.
