You said “we reap what we sow”, getting what you deserve is a part of the definition of that sentence, but I don’t want to argue grammatical semantics or fall out with you over it.

Displacement is an international issue and always has been, it’s massively increased more recently due to the knowledge of what they can get if they come, this has triggered many to make the journey that otherwise or previously wouldn’t have.

All parties can do something, what we do with them now isn’t working, what we offer is incentivising them to come and that needs to be stripped back.

Them there’s a wider argument for opening a processing centre in Calais to allow genuine asylum seekers and then have a zero tolerance policy for those entering outside of that. That’s my suggestion.

Seems like a good suggestion, really.
Whether France would allow that, I don't know. They'd probably charge us fucking billions and make us say "siv au plait" over and over! Could save us in the long run, though.
"Around 42% of asylum claims are approved at the initial decision stage. While this grant rate is lower than the peak of 76% in 2022, it remains significantly higher than historical approval rates before 2019."

So that's about half at the moment.

Yeah in 2022, the year with the highest approval rate, the highest influx was from Albania, not only that, Albanian men outnumbered all Afghans (men, women and children). Albania, a country not at war and not somewhere people are generally at great risk, nor somewhere the UK has bombed. Something isn’t right with the system and vetting is blatantly slack.

It’s not working and needs a massive reform (genuinely no pun intended there).

If it comes down to stopping the fake asylum seekers, criminal gangs and wrong uns, then we're all in agreement.))

Ultimately, that’s what I think everyone wants to get to. Where some of us (not necessarily me and you but others) disagree is the measures needed to arrive there.
 
There will be blood on the streets tonight unfortunately,,and they are a different breed over there ,they are trouble hardened ,I actually do fear the worst later on
 
I dont think its going to be as bad tonight as some fear, seems precautions are already in place with road closures and businesses closing early. The police will be prepared.
Difficult times ahead, no idea how this will pan out.

The fact that they have acted so quickly to get on top of it indicates that it has the potential to get out of hand quickly.

Or they knew it was a matter of time before a lunatic with a knife/machete struck again and they knew there would be a violent reaction.

Not saying I condone it, just saying it doesn’t take a genius to realise this will continue to happen.
