Regardless of the ridiculous amount of money spent. There were signs that the scheme would work or was starting to work. People were leaving the UK and claiming asylum in the ROI, because of the threat of deportation. I also understand that they borrowed the idea from the Australians who implemented a similar scheme which was deemed to be successful as a deterrent to illegal migration.It is shocking to me that the tories hung their hats on a scheme that was never going to work and cost so much money , they were so busy dog whistling, thinking that would work , stop the boats was never going to work but i guess it was catchy
It will be interesting to see what the new government do as a deterrent to illegal migration. Words are easy when in opposition, but now they will be accountable. It's always struck me that it should be easy to break the trafficking gangs by placing undercover agents in the system.
