madmanxpilot Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 The UK Home Secretary is said to be considering the IOM as one of a number of places that immigrants to the UK will be sent for processing - this according to the Times newspaper. We did host many of the UK's internees during WW2, so a precedent of sorts does exist perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Can't see that being acceptable here at all. More like Daily Mail bollox on a slow news day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxst Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 If it pays the government here enough cash to prop up pensions and see the Prom finished, then I’m sure they’ll at least consider it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The report is in todays's press however. Lets see if anything comes to pass when/if she makes an announcement next week. It would certainly upset a few of the more 'conservative' types if anything came of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manx Bean Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 It's also on Sky News today, so doing the rounds - https://news.sky.com/story/home-secretary-considering-sending-asylum-seekers-thousands-of-miles-away-to-be-processed-12249308 The scheme could fill all the B&B and homestay beds though....

Holte End Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Mrs Caine should be happy. Didn't she put a motion for us to accept asylum seekers. Looks like she might get her wish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Total nut-job" is a gender-neutral insult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Flint Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Makes a lot of sense. as would turning Jurby into a maximum security prison. Both could be lucrative income streams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 It is old news that's just been on the back-boiler for a while. Make no mistake though, if Westminister did decide to send illegal asylum seekers here, there'd be no push-back from our lot. It wouldn't even make the floor of Tynwald. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
