Stop using facts to contradict the narrative!!Here is an interesting article from the Guardian.
‘Come to Germany and learn’: Albanian PM criticises UK’s immigration stance
Edi Rama tells press conference in Berlin that UK rhetoric sounds like ‘screams from a madhouse’
How the rest of the world must look at us. What the hell state are we in when Albania, Peru and Belize can take the moral high ground.
It is criminal that these fuckingfascistsbastards are still in government. How can anyone defend their immigration policies?
From the Refugee Council:
And yet it seems according to this Tory Government that it is the largest problem we face.
- There is no such thing as an ‘illegal’ or ‘bogus’ asylum seeker. Under international law, anyone has the right to apply for asylum in any country that has signed the 1951 Convention and to remain there until the authorities have assessed their claim
- It is recognised in the 1951 Convention that people fleeing persecution may have to use irregular means in order to escape and claim asylum in another country – there is no legal way to travel to the UK for the specific purpose of seeking asylum
- People seeking asylum do not come to the UK to claim benefits. Most know nothing about welfare benefits before they arrive and had no expectation that they would receive financial support
- Most people seeking asylum are living in poverty and experience poor health and hunger. Many families are not able to pay for the basics such as clothing, powdered milk and nappies
- Almost all people seeking asylum are not allowed to work and are forced to rely on state support – this is as little as £5.84 a day to live on
- Over 6.8 million people have fled conflict in Syria, and many more are displaced inside the country. Türkiye is the biggest refugee hosting country in the world. At the end of 2022 Türkiye was providing safety to 3.7 million Syrian refugees. By the end of February 2021 the UK had resettled 20,319 refugees from Syria under the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme (VPRS). This includes 239 refugees who were resettled prior to the target of 20,000 being set. Overall, the UK is home to approx. 1% of the 27.1 million refugees who were forcibly displaced across the world.
Even the audience on question time last night, from leafy Tory Surrey, seemed to be finally seeing this for what it is.

A sorry situation not helped by the ineptitude of our wonderful government.Channel crossings: Albanian migrants recruited to the UK by gangs
Drug gangs recruit from migrant camps, the BBC is told, as it speaks to Albanians on both sides of the Channel.www.bbc.co.uk
The fact that votes can be won by that says a great deal about us as a nation.
