Who Is Really Paying For The Tories Grossly Incompetent Handling Of The Immigrant Crisis?

[Hymie]

Rather than process immigrants expeditiously (deporting those not qualifying), the incompetent government is wasting enormous amounts of tax-payer money, putting them in hotels and barges for extended periods.

But who is ultimately paying the price for this?

The answer to that question is the poorest people in the world, who receive our aid; this is because the money spent on the asylum system is considered to be part of our spending on overseas aid.

So as our spending on housing immigrants soars, the amount of money available to help the poorest in the world diminishes.

I'd like to process them quickly but we can't due to your 5C buddies gumming up the system. Why do think it's slow? They go fast as they can they are not deliberately going slow.

[Hymie]

The government have not employed sufficient staff to process the asylum seekers expeditiously – due to their incompetence.

Why is it when ever The Tory Supporters on AnswerBank feel they have talked themselves into a corner ,they have a panic attack and then shout out it's Labour's Fault not ours.....Then when the panic is over they suddenly realise that It's the Tory Party who are in Govt at the moment and have been for the past 13 years.
....They must feel pretty stupid. Because that's how appears.

[Hymie]

Don’t forget Gully, it’s also the EUs fault – although the Brexiteers pretend to forget that we’ve left the EU, when it suits them.

Hymie @ 14.05. I often wonder what these Brexiteers think when they are skipping along the sunny uplands that Boris promised them, fingers in ears singing "Britannia rule the waves" but not in the English channel . Thinking about the good old days when Britain was a member of the EU. LOL.

I'm quite happy paying for immigrants to stay offshore. Nothing the two trolls on here have come up with convinces me that Labour would be better on this topic in any way, shape or form. Criticise the govt all you like, but Labour offer no alternative. Sad trolling.

[Hymie]

So which party was in power in 2002, dealing with more immigrants than now, without much of a problem?

"They must feel pretty stupid. Because that's how appears."

coming from you , only you would understand the irony in that statement...

[naomi24]

Hymie, are you sure you understand the ECHR? Ever known then to do something they shouldn’t?

They aren’t fit for purpose.

[Hymie]

In 2020 the UK government cut the overseas aid budget from 0.7% to 0.5% of gross national income. So the aid budget is relatively fixed, but more and more is being spent on housing immigrants, rather than helping the world’s poor.

[Hymie]

I can see why many ABers would want us to leave the ECHR; below are a few of the rights we’d lose:-

• The prohibition of slavery and forced labour
• The right to liberty
• The right to a fair trail
• The right to education
• The right to free elections
• The right to freedom of movement
• The right to compensation for wrongful conviction

[naomi24]

Other than a millstone around our neck, we wouldn’t lose anything, hymie. Stop being so dramatic.

[Stableford]

What a load of bulldust. We had all those rights before the ECHR was even thought of. What utter tosh.

[Hymie]

Hang on, the ECHR is not fit for purpose – but now all of a sudden you like the rights they provide citizens?

[naomi24]

What?

[Hymie]

Well, name the ECHR rights you’d like to see taken away from UK citizens.

[naomi24]

Nothing will be taken away from UK citizens, hymie. No need for this constant hysteria.

[Gramps82]

Hymie 16.13. I am 85 years of age and as far as my memory is concerned I believe that we have always had these rights. In fact our fighting men fought against a member of the EU who on two ocassions wanted to take those rights away from us, and also to protect other members of the EU from losing these rights. It does seem to me that ceratin members of the EU are trying to take some of these rights away from us by passing laws that are detrimental to our country.

[Hymie]

If you don’t want us to lose any rights conferred on UK citizens by the ECHR, why leave?

[naomi24]

Which bit of ‘we wouldn’t lose anything’ didn’t you understand, Hynie?
