French police stand by and watch the boats leave for Britain. Now you are in charge Yvette Cooper what's your plan after you cancelled the Rwanda deterrent?

Maybe the word " former" is relevant here?

The Syrian gang masters are not calling Starmer 'The Friendly One' for nothing.

I would have thought the evidence of Kevin Saunders, former Chief Immigration Officer would be sufficient. I gave that a few days ago.

Trouble is whatever source you quote it’s either not from a newspaper or TV channel some on here approve of.

The Rwanda plan cost millions and now all that money has been wasted because Labour have chosen to scrap the only thing introduced that actually did deter migrants. There were reports of new camps set up in France waiting for Starmer to become PM because they knew that would mean scrapping the deterrent and welcoming them with open arms.

Which reports?

Reliable confirmed sources needed for this kind of claim.
The Rwanda millions weren’t wasted because of Labour. They were wasted by the conservatives in persisting with an illegal nonsense

I watch numerous post/videos on YouTube on all different subjects why don't you have a look. I agree don't take for granted everything you read on GN do your own research.

I'll be posting daily updates re the new arrivals across the channel to raise public awareness, please yourself if you look at this thread or not.

No thanks

I agree with your last paragraph Merion.

I see no future, especially with whats going on in the USA, in being tiny "Fortress UK".

It's not just on stopping the people smugglers, we cannot do this without closer cooperation, but also on much needed improvement in trading agreements. (No I am not suggesting rejoining EU, just sensible amendments for businesses)

And the difference between these and Lee Anderson's short clip?

Merion Tue 16-Jul-24 14:26:03

The numbers of people crossing are no different to last year. Please give a reliable impartial source for these “reports”.

There were no plans for Rwanda to take the number of people the Telegragh etc are claiming. Rwandan government spokesperson Yolande Makolo confirmed this on 5 May 2024 only seventeen days before the election was called. All the Rwanda government had in place was Hope Hostel which could house 200 people. The UK government had not yet negotiated how many people Rwanda could or would take.

What Sunak said during the election, that airfields were on stand by, planes (plural) were booked and ready to go as if the Tories won the election was a lie. This has all been discussed before. Why do you think he called the election when he did and knowing that he was likely to lose? To avoid admitting the truth.

Stop believing the lies that the right-wing and right-wing media are publishing and allow the new government time to the address a problem that its predecessors were unable to solve. We haven’t even had the State Opening of Parliament yet where the government sets out its legislative agenda.

Ah! Lee Anderson the font of all that it true and decent. In his new role as Whip he needs to be very careful what he says to the media. I’m quite glad he’s been given the post as it means he’s now gagged from speaking in the HoC. Be thankful for small mercies. No more stupid 30p speeches criticising those who need foodbanks.

Agreed, Wyllow. This notion of pushbacks and the legal ramifications were all debated there years ago when Priti Patel was Home Secretary. Maybe Anderson should have been paying attention and taken the time to familarise himself with international marine law which hasn’t changed.

As the right-wing in America become increasingly deluded, dangerous and hostile to the UK, whipped up even more now by that madman Vance, we need to be very careful of alienating our nearest friends in Europe and to work with them to find a solution to this. Of course, we did have some recourse through the the Dublin Agreement but that was lost because we left the EU.

Thank you. Straight Reform Party POV - Lee Anderson saying

'Turn the migrants BACK to France!' Lee Anderson asks why govt can't IGNORE law to PROTECT Britain"

ie a repeat of the "Navy should turn back small boats" discredited policy as entering another countries land, air or sea space (and landing people) without permission is equivalent to an act of war.

Gosh, aren't we honoursed to have somebody here who comprehends every policy, every nuance, every fact about people trying to get here.
Do 'the Kurds' and the 'Syrian gang masters' agree on a nickname for Starmer? Fascinating stuff really.

Pop in again tomorrow for the next update on the small boats you might learn something.

Open your eyes, ears and even your soul nicenanny and you might learn something.

I would like to see the source and judge its likely authenticity for myself. It’s no good saying. ‘I saw such and such on utube’, which contains all manner of misinformation and conspiracy theories. Post a link to what you saw. It’s already clear that whatever you saw you have put your own interpretation on.

Thar will be the same YouTube which had people telling us that covid19 was all a fake and that thd vaccinations made people sterile?

Frankly, I don't know why anyone posts such unsubstantiated, unreferenced rubbish. Sources please , even if is the increasingly desperate to be relevant Daily Telegraph.

Labour will deport no one

nicenanny how on earth do you know this?

Some very mixed messages from a range of potentially ‘unreliable’ sources being conveyed on here as fact and truthconfused

Please can you give your U tube sources. it's not enough to say, "I heard that" or "I read that" to be credible and to verify. There's lots of outrageous stuff on SM generally that's quite appalling.

*Labour policy includes deportation after establishing the status of the migrant*

They can't deport them if they have no documentation can they, these so called asylum seekers/economic migrants are not stupid are they, they have had the means to pay thousands of pounds to smuggling gangs to get here. Labour will deport no one.
