Now here's a blast from the past. (2002 to be precise)

Let no good deed go unpunished!
(I wonder where she will resurface? My money's on something 'environmental'. Can't see her staying quiet for long after for so long being rent-a-quote for 'migrants' fleeing France. A grifter's gotta grift).

A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged.

Will this all back fire for Sunak as he made it a pledge ?

Rishi Sunak has quietly dropped a key plank of last year’s asylum law that introduced a two-tier refugee system and made lives tougher for tens of thousands of people who arrived in the UK via small boats.
In a move to cut the asylum backlog, the Home Office said in a written statement on Thursday that it would no longer differentiate between people who arrived by irregular means, such as those who crossed the Channel, and other asylum seekers, as had been stipulated in last year’s Nationality and Borders Act.
A Home Office spokesperson said: “Under the differentiation policy, people who came to the UK illegally and claimed asylum could receive a different protection offer to those who came here legally, helping reduce the incentive to make these illegal journeys in the first place.
“We are now going even further through our illegal migration bill to make sure that people who come here illegally won’t have their asylum claim considered in the UK and instead can be detained and swiftly removed.
“To stop the boats, we have to take away the incentive for people to jump the queue by coming here illegally – and that is what we are focused on delivering.”
No, I don't understand either!

Me neither. It doesn't matter where you stand on immigration in all its shapes and forms, the current situation is just a mess.

Agreed.
Back in the early 1990's we knew an immigration officer based in Croydon who was complaining about the shambles back then. Governments of all colour seem to be useless at tackling this continuing problem, bright ideas are worth their while if they actually work.

Mrs E reckons that more action is needed to tackle small boats:

And of course she's right, the previous Mickey Mouse schemes having failed.

They've got themselves in a complete mess. They're not going to "stop the boats", because they're too obsessed with Rwanda. They genuinely believe that people will say "oh well, never mind, it's all the courts fault. Lefty lawyers" etc. The policy is Rwanda - not stopping the boats. They've fallen into their own trap.

The huge amount of money spent on the silly Rwanda idea would have been better spent on dealing with the many immigration appeals that were/are still unresolved.
We badly need immigrants but not those that enter by illegal means simply for what they can grab.

Our odious MP might perhaps learn some life lessons from the esteemed professor.

So true. They think we're stupid.

According to the Mail Online, Prison watchdog the Independent Monitoring Boards (IMB) has deemed Derwentside removal centre in Co Durham as "inhumane in some respects" because the Wi-Fi is slow, it has no hair salon or shop and a private GP visits only twice a week.
It also said that the women-only facility is a long drive from the South East, a journey that may leave illegal migrants 'tired, disorientated or stressed' [oddly, this probably means the South East of England, rather than a part of the world].
97 workers look after 17 migrants but, before you ask, no I don't know how to apply to live there.

Pretty pie charts mean nothing if they are blurred even when enlarged.
