We have never not been in control of our borders.
Literally.
The solution you want could have been applied by any government since 1900. (This is an arbitrary date. It could have been 2000BC)
Who will you vote for when you finally realise that the “illegal” immigrants crossing the channel are a direct result of the Tories not allowing people to apply for as on foreign soil?
Your golden dream of zero immigrants ever will never happen as they are crucial to our economy.
I understand this and I wouldn't mind if the government (Labour or Tory) massively expanded our infrastructure to cater for 85 million people - great. But they don't. And I cant get a Drs appointment, it takes me 2 hours to get into Manchester (when google maps says 45 minutes) and my kids are in classes of 33 - several of whom don't speak English) which isn't really on, is it?
