The Hokey Cokey … migrant crossings - 1,000 in;

I was reading today that the total number of migrants so far this year ( under Labour’s Smash the Gangs plan) would fill a town the size of Leeds.

In one year. And next year? Equivalent to the population of Birmingham?

That includes immigrants with visas, who are here perfectly legitimately and have paid for their visas and NHS surcharge. They also pay income tax (if they work) and other taxes when they buy anything. It also includes students, who are currently propping up our universities and subsidising fees for home students. Moreover, there's a "churn" with students. Hundreds of thousands come for one year and then go home, as more hundreds of thousands come for a year and go home ... and so on.

Leeds has a population of 812,000. No way have there been 812,000 immigrants who wouldn't have come, even if the gangs had been smashed. The country actually needs most of its immigrants.

Sorry to disappoint some Posters but since June 2024, under Labour, there has been a 28 per cent increased return of failed asylum seekers, compared to the previous year, under the Tories.

The government figures have never differentiated between illegal migrants being removed and people over staying their visas.
The majority of people removed are over stayers. Not illegal migrants.

It's ridiculous isn't it.

It isn't FGT's fault that there aren't any positive headlines when it comes to immigration BlueBelle.

Maybe GB news has something more positive to headline their program.

Labour say the immigrant will be returned AGAIN 🤣

2,000 have arrived in the past few days and a tiny handful have been returned Maremia something like 30!!

300 arrived on Remembrance Sunday.

They will keep coming too because they know they will most likely be allowed to stay here.

Would you like to tell us all how well it’s coming along then BlueBelle? You know, “smash the gangs” and all that.

Labour had 14 years in Opposition. They had time to come up with a plan, especially as first week in office they took away the only deterrent - Rwanda.

Now? More migrants than ever coming over under Labour. And have you seen the size of the rubber boats now? We are going to have to start calling them small ships soon.

How did I possibly know you were the author FGT do you never tire of the same old anti immigrant headlines 🤣

One in one out (thought it's actually one in, one out, and then a different one in plus their family) seems to be working as well as smashing the gangs.

I overheard at the bowls club today someone saying that this country is finished and they feel sorry for their grandson!
