Suella Braverman - sacked as Home Secretary (p394)

I am still trying to work out why she went so much off the rails? She is disliked by most MP's so she would not even get in the running to go before the members (if she did go before the members she would win hands down) she's ended her political career for some cheap right wing soundbites, I can only conclude that she really does not care and is thinking of life outside of politics
 
Stop the Boats

But not Boaty McBoatface, he's our boat wot we named in a poll

We love our polls. Its democracy innit?

Shes thinking of being leader of the opposition in just over a year and all this bollocks was the start of her campaign
 
The asylum process is to pretend to care, but actually make it as difficult as possible to claim asylum and hope they go somewhere else. In the UK, our immigration system seems to be mainly set up to milk foreigners while making it as difficult as possible to actually go to the UK. My wife just got rejected for a visa to visit for Christmas. In the rejection letter, they said the reason was that I was in the UK and I was paying for her trip, while she has no savings (she does, but they're in my account), meaning it looks like she's actually coming to live. Only problem is I don't live in the UK, as was made explicitly clear, with evidence on the application form and with all of the supporting evidence. But yeah, whatever, 115 quid down the drain with no right to appeal and no recourse whatsoever against the person who clearly didn't even read the application properly. And that's just a tourist visa. If that was a settlement visa, that could be a grand down the drain all because someone just didn't bother to do their job.
Are you sure that you have no recourse ?

If it looked like their mistake I'd be all over it one way or another, and have been in the past when I had to remind an embassy worker that I was actually one of the folk who pay their wage. I have a visitor here at the moment for 3months, but always go way beyond the evidence they require to give them no chance to turn the visa down. It is getting very expensive though !
 
What do we mean by 'stopping immigration'?

Some immigration is economically necessary. This government recognises this by issuing literally hundreds of thousands of visas each year. It does not have to issue the visas. It chooses to do so because we need various types of expertise that are not generally found in dole queues. (Dave from the estate who is just about up to stacking shelves is a bit shit at performing heart operations or designing bridges.) This type of immigration is at quite a high level BTW by historic standards, but it is entirely legal and under government control.

The people in boats that people wank on about are 'asylum seekers'. It is legal for them to seek asylum. Around 80%, when processed, get approved which proves their claims are valid. The other 20% or whatever are presumably returned to wherever, where this is practical.

What changes to the above do people want?

It's a bit sneery mate and without getting into the conversation because it has been flogged to death, the asylum rules and system in general needs a rethink.

It should be a lot easier to remove the 20% who fail asylum.

Not everyone who emigrates here is a brain surgeon and is better than Dave.

Not every one who talks about immigration is stupid and is a racist.
 
Would there? I doubt anyone on less than 40-50k would consider leaving their career for a job they might be thrown out of in 5 years that's if they even get elected after maybe a few years of trying to get selected and elected.
I'm not against restricting other jobs but MPs would probably need to earn more than £86 k
They also get a pension after 5 years service.

It's a public service job and hence should be treated like one, not a chance to line your pockets as it is now.
