They'd only be illegal if they went through the system, were found to not have a legitimate claim, then went "underground" instead of leaving. They wouldn't be sending us failed claimants, they'd just cut to the chase and deport them to their country of origin. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 There's money to be made for local businesses providing meals and services. Didn't someone provide the Knockaloe prisoners three meals a day for a penny each, creating a family fortune? Mind you, the abattoir would be working overtime keeping up with the Halal meat orders.

I believe these plans are simply moving the existing detention centre facilities offshore. Those same immigration detention facilities which were primarily opened under the UK Labour government - Yarls Wood (2001), Oakington (2000), Harmondsworth (2001) etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was decided we didn't want such a facility, all government would have to do is insist DoI was in charge of construction. It would effectively be kicked down the road for years and cost the UK government a fortune. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's important to distinguish what minister may actually be pronouncing, or even just discussing, from "groundless media speculation."

Where should we put migrants to prevent them escaping? Let's go for for a tiny, overcrowded place that is famous for smuggling. You know this is bullshit, I know this is bullshit, the journalist writing knows it is bullshit, the person at the Home Office who fed them the story know it is bullshit. The whole thing is entirely designed to convince the elderly racists who they see as making up the Mail readership that they are Being Nasty to Brown People. What gets me about this sort of garbage is: why don't the readers never realise the contempt that those who produce this rubbish clearly hold them in. That they clearly think you are not just deeply unpleasant, but also really stupid. Why do people support papers and politicians who obviously despise them? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
