What is the answer to this out of control situation?
Enough is enough !

[gulliver1]

Perhaps these immigrants have been told the UK is a safe Country, in the hands of the Tories . No knife crime, no murders, no rape . Magic money trees etc , maybe that's what's attracting them .

// As I understand it, zebu, many of them were British subjects. //

And your understanding is correct!

And I stand to be corrected - Thank you.

And I hasten to add, the entrepreneurial skills of those Ugandan Asians that settled here, made a significant contribution to Britain commerce.

Business sectors such as textiles and the retail trade benefited immensely. Equally important, it served to regenerate those economically depressed inner city areas around the UK too!

[Bobbisox1]

She’s the only one for years to show some balls at handling this situation

The Ugandan Asians didn't want to come here - they were prospering where they were.
I doubt that thousands of young Albanian men are going to produce a similar beneficial effect.

[naomi24]

dave, you can bet on it.

'Albanian migrants are walking out of hotels to work on cannabis farms within three days of arriving in the UK across the Channel, an investigation has revealed.

The young men describe being released from detention into hotels where they are recruited by Albanian crime gangs to cultivate cannabis in farms set up in empty houses and industrial buildings across England and Wales.

Their confessions, screened on Albanian TV's A2CNN, paint a picture of young men in their 20s working to clear debts of £5,000 after paying Kurdish people smugglers for cross-Channel journeys of up to 40 hours in a dinghy.

One, working in a “farm” in London, said he spent seven days in “mountains” in France as three Channel attempts were thwarted by police who punctured the boats each time. On the fourth attempt, he was rescued by the UK coastguard when his packed dinghy ran out of petrol after 11 hours and started drifting mid Channel.

“We were kept for three days in a detention centre then transferred to a hotel. I managed to talk with my relative who came and took me from the hotel. I am working in a cannabis house to pay the money I borrowed to pay for the journey on the boat,” he told Ervin Koci, the Albanian TV journalist who interviewed them.'

I also like Suella Braverman. She is speaking the truth and deserves every iota of support from her party and civil servants. That it is not as yet forthcoming speaks volumes.

Ultimately we are talking about the lives and well being of human beings.

It is such a hot potato. No government which purports human civil rights as being absolutely paramount and a fundamental bedrock of their constitution, can afford to be regarded or give the appearance of acting callously.

Granted, Britain is under strain in many areas of its infrastructure. However the idea of towing back dinghies to French shores is fraught with danger. The capsize and loss of just one single life in doing so, would reverberate around the world - A stigma, British government can well do without.

It is sensible to have limits on immigration. Anything else risks unfavourable consequences in all parts of our society.

I too am a keen supporter of Braverman. However, she must learn to choose her language more carefully!

[naomi24]

//she must learn to choose her language more carefully! //

I disagree. Pussyfooting around the 'precious' is one of the reasons we're in this situation. She says it like it is - and good for her. More power to her!

i am not a fan of braverman… i think she is more concerned with appearing tough than with actually solving the problem

[naomi24]

Crikey! Give the woman a chance. She's not been in the job for more than about 5 minutes and already you know what she'll do .... or not!

[Canary42]

I wonder how many of the people moaning on this thread voted in the Government responsible. What someone might call a bit anti-English isn't it.

[Bobbisox1]

Canary , the migrant crisis hasn’t just started with this government, it actually started with Tony Blair who as we know was New Labour

/// Immigration under New Labour from 1997 to 2010 was the immigration policy under the government of Tony Blair and then subsequently the continuation of large scale immigration under Gordon Brown.//

[ZebuSanctuary]

// Pussyfooting around the 'precious' is one of the reasons we're in this situation.//

The frustrations of the public are palpable and for good reason.

A good government minister knows, guile is the best form of attack in achieving one's aims. Like the old proverb tells us; 'Softly softly catchy the monkey'.

[Khandro]

Suella Braverman need not apologise to anyone;

in•va•sion (ɪnˈveɪ ʒən)

n.
1. an act or instance of invading, esp. by an army.
2. the entrance or advent of anything troublesome or harmful, as disease.
3. entrance as if to take possession or overrun: the annual invasion of tourists.
4. infringement by intrusion: invasion of privacy.
[1400–50; late Middle English < Late Latin invāsiō < Latin invād(ere) to invade]

Suella is upsetting the right people.

She must be doing a good job.

Unfortunately she is being undermined by the liberal elites in the Home Office.

"Suella is upsetting the right people.

and that's all that really matters isn't youngmafbog... owning those nasty libs!

Lol

[naomi24]

Zebu, you may not have noticed but the softly softly approach isn’t working.

[Zacs-Master]

Thing is, no measures are working across Europe. Spain and Germany have far higher rates of illegal immigrants than ourselves. I can only conclude this is an indication of the desperation of the migrants.
