THE CIVIL SERVICE

It was nothing to do with Brexit its the ECHR; its the same in the EU. The Tory legislation was held up for years. The CIVIL SERVICE sued the Tory Government unbelievably not once but several times to stop the legislation. So if Rwanda and the ILLEGAL MIGRANT ACT 2023 had come in 2019/2020 the number of illegal migration would down by millions. So the odd rape and cost? No. The most important thing is the protection of our our young children, the cost is irrelevant merely irritating

10 Sept. 2025 Immigration and asylum in the UK: The full story

It has been forgotten that asylum seekers have the same rights as the citizens of the country that gives them refuge. The original idea is that they would return to there homeland. This is no longer the case. Choosing who comes into the country legally if there is a shortage of skilled labour and who pay taxes and benefit the country and uphold there standards is fine. ILLEGAL MIGRANTS are different and are for the most part economic who have broken the law to get here. They have not been picked to fill shortages and are mostly under skilled and find it difficult to fit in. Some are criminals (sexual predators and rapists) from barbaric societies and we don’t those thrust upon us. The Government is playing Russian Roulette with unvetted illegals and the electorate are not going to stand for it anymore. The question is how long will anymore last. A few more terrible incidences?
