That's The Way To Do It.

..*Sir Keir Starmer and his newly elected  powerful Labour Party*..           They have achieved the three biggest return flights ever so far, as 10,000 migrants have been deported since Labour took power in July. Sending individuals back to various countries including Albania ,Poland,Romania,and Vietnam .More flights are planned. Well done Sir Keir.

[newmodarmy]

It's good that lawyers and protestors are not claiming Albania, Vietnam etc are not safe countries.

Anyways Transatlantic papers already signed by the Rishi, and all of them have the same power as vocation of Sir Keir.
After all why do all of that foreigners should be sent away? I mean that being Englishman is matter of choice sometimes, and if they could wish to stay english people forever, then they will do it very good in their own homelands. Nothing can stop us.

^^^^ exactly my thoughts on the matter🙄

[naomi24]

Mozz 23,58.  Yes, it's curious isn't it - and even more curious that this is the first we've heard of it.  You'd think the Labour government that's come in for so much criticism and negative press would have been shouting that enormous number of successful deportations in such a short time from the rooftops - but they haven't.  No lawyers, no objections, no appeals - there's something very fishy in all of this.  I hate to pour cold water on the happy jubilation of the government's fans but I strongly suspect the public is being hoodwinked.

as best i can tell the source of the figure was a post on X by Mike Tapp MP

i don't know where he got it. 
 

the figure was repeated in the sunday mirror. i didn't read the article properly so i might have missed it but scanning through it i did not see them provide a source for the number. i wonder where it came from?

"...but I strongly suspect the public is being hoodwinked."

How dare you naomi!! That's an outrageous suggestion! 🤣

 

[david small]

Hoodwinked=lied to yet again. As if they would. This propagating of false news is now so prevalent, people's perceptions of propaganda pall's. That's taking a lot Ps.

[nicebloke1]

The times I've read on AB stating... I dont care how they get rid of the boat people) and now its complaing how its done, were, who by, hoodwinked. Jesus no pleasing some is there.

[naomi24]

So have they done it, nicebloke - and if so, how?

[Clone]

Very strange, especially when you remember Labour demanded Ernesto Elliott and other crims should not be deported.

[nicebloke1]

I'm one of those who said, I don"t care how its done. And I dont care who, why, when and how, as long as its done.

[naomi24]

If you're being hoodwinked you should care, nicebloke.  Ten thousand people equates to about a dozen of the largest commercial airliners filled to capacity - and all flown off in three months without a murmer - not even in the press.  Labour aren't exactly renowned for their modesty - ever - so questions do need to be asked - and you as a Labour supporter should be at the front of that queue.

[nicebloke1]

But like i said, I'm not.

[naomi24]

Clearly.

[nicebloke1]

True. In fact I don't care if he hired a gang of criminals to get them out, very much like the ones who got them here. 

Gone is gone, hopfully more to follow.

[Khandro]

This government are so low in the opinion polls & are being berated by even their own members (though what they'd have to do to turn the AB die-hards, I can't imagine) that they in desperation are inventing statistics, which will surely back-fire and leave them in an even deeper hole.

[albaqwerty]

The  Migration Observatory provides some interesting info, imo. Their latest research is on their website but dated Feb 2024.

Apologies for lack of link, can't do them on this gadget.

One would think that they and similar would have more recent material if 10,000 had been deported.

[chelle7272]

Yes the Migration Observatory does have a page on labours plans dated Sept.

And there has been some reporting in the media.

[naomi24]

Those media links range from 'Labour announce major surge in deportations' with no further explanation - to they have .removed hundreds but not telling us how - to they're ploughing £15million into deportation deals (does 'deals' mean they're paying failed asylum seekers to go?) - to deportations from the Chagos Islands which is irrelevant to this discussion.  

 

I don't see the 10,000 anywhere there - and not a mention of objection either.    I wonder how far the £15 million will go?  

[chelle7272]

I didn't add a link about on the 10,000 as there was already a link posted for that.

I did think 15m is not a lot.

I'm not sure I'd expect a lot of objections returning people to home countries, except for possbly a few specific cases, i's not a chnange in policy.
