> Nine men in the UK have been arrested over the largest-ever operation targeting people smuggling and human trafficking.
So far.
> Twenty-seven people, including 21 children, were intercepted in Tunisia attempting to travel to the UK.
So, some good news for a change.
Holy shit, something other than a three word slogan to chant at voters.
Was listening to Nick Ferrari repeatedly smirking about how Labour’s approach would never work this morning. He kept laughing while repeating “form a squad”.
Wonder if chubby will mention this tomorrow.
14 years of voting tories who did fuck all and let it fester. It hasn’t been a full year for labour and this happens. I don’t ever want to hear anyone saying conservatives will do anything good on immigration.
and another has already taken its place, this is like trying to scoop out a river using your hand, and just resembles the “war on drugs” yea hows that going
This seems like Labour is getting the job done. It’s a great start. Wonder why the conservatives’ hating migration couldn’t get this done?
Until the root cause of the issue is addressed, this problem will continue.
The root cause being there is a **massive** incentive to arrive into Western Europe as an illegal economic migrant, all you have to do is claim asylum and you are guaranteed accomodation (in the UK we spend £43k per year, per migrant), you will get food, healthcare, social worker support, and you can just disappear into the cash in in hand economy.
It doesn’t matter if you’re not from a warzone which the vast majority of migrants aren’t, you just file a claim anyway and if it’s refused you’re pretty much guaranteed to stay because you can indefinitely file vexatious legal challenges, deliberately getting stuck in a legal quagmire which at every turn favours illegal migrants.
So Labour can continue their pointless PR stunts talking about ending smuggling gangs, but that’s not really the issue – it’s that we need a zerontolerance approach to illegal arrivals, anyone who arrives illegally should automatically be banned from ever settling. Then, the flow of illegal migrants would end overnight because it simply wouldn’t be worth doing. But are Labour going to introduce that simple rule? Nope.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane?
No!
It’s London Man!
Ah it’s London man again. Just like Newcastle man, and Leeds man, and Sheffield man and of course Welsh man.
Well Keir did promise he would smash all people smuggling gangs. Good on him for keeping his word
damn, they smashed *a* gang. Gotta give credit when due. Hope they keep it up and don’t stop here.
Good job lads.
OK. Smashing the gangs. Great start. Well done, keep it up. Brilliant stuff. Throw the book at them and the key away.
Means absolutely nothing, you can compare the drugs trade to people smugglers. Arrest one, another criminal gets hired into the role.
Doesn’t address the root cause – allowing 70%+ approval rates, hotel stays with free medical, multiple chances of appeal or simply just getting here, hiding under radar for a good while and then appeal seems to work every time.
Oh and my favourite – being convicted of a crime here and being allowed to stay here whilst claiming asylum.
The system needs reform.
Looking forward to seeing them being sentenced to 200 hours of community work.
