Boat illegals up under Labour.

You have to stop them wanting to come. The economic ones that is

Ah yes the good old right wing “economic migrants” claim.

Yeah of course people leave their families, leave their country, risk their lives to come to the U.K. simply because of “economic reasons”

Odd how majority of them come from countries of war and persecution though…..it’s almost as though that could be the real reason

 

[Notch7]

don't worry Notch. Rachel Reeves is shrinking vacancies quick enough with her jobs tax. Soon there wont be any to worry about.

Conservatives increased vacancies because of the 750,000 people who want to go to work but can’t because they are on an NHS waiting list…..Fillyboy is one such example.


Oh and the OBR forecast for 2025 is higher growth than we’ve seen under the Economy Stagnators otherwise known as Tories.

Under Tories there were plenty of jobs…,sadly they didn’t pay enough to afford rent, food, heating.

Tories made sure there were jobs….as you didn’t want a pay rise for 14 years

Under Shengen afaik, if the entire Polish population decided to o live in Portugal, there's nothing to stop them.

Inventing impossible scenarios doesn't help, it just emboldens the nutters.

funny that those fleeing persecution, cross half of Europe and may safe countries to get here.

Last I checked, France, Germany, Italy etc were safe countries

Look at all the families on this boat:

Meanwhile back in the Socialist echo chamber.

Proved demonstrably wrong by the numbers who are deemed to have a valid claim. And under the Tories as well.

Strue, I know, butthe rules as they are have no limits.

Under Shengen afaik, if the entire Polish population decided to o live in Portugal, there's nothing to stop them.
That's a dumb system, it needs parameters....

It was actually Maastricht, but you are correct.

Small boat arrivals under Conservatives: 45,755 pa

small boat arrivals under Labour 33,684 pa pro rate

going down under Labour

strawman argument

the fact they have crossed safe countries doesnt mean they arent fleeing persecution from their originating country

using your dumb argument, they can only travel to a neighbouring country........which any intelligent person would understand would cause collapse of the region (4 million in Turkey, 2 million in Jordan etc)

 

[Notch7]

Strue, I know, butthe rules as they are have no limits

eh?

you are conflating freedom of movement with refugees entering the EU

Under Shengen afaik, if the entire Polish population decided to o live in Portugal, there's nothing to stop them.
That's a dumb system, it needs parameters....

its not true

all new EU joining members are subjected to transition arrangements (BLair neglected to adopt them when the A8 Eastern blok nations joined)

Also freedom of movement itself has restrictions:

• EU citizens can live in another EU country for up to three months without any requirements other than holding a valid identity card or passport.
• In order to stay in another EU country for more than three months, EU citizens have to meet certain conditions depending on their status (for example worker, self-employed, student, etc.) and may be asked to comply with administrative formalities.

there are no socialists here though, so that makes no sense at all

you arent very good at this are you

After 25 years some of those babies and children can feen themselves, surely?

Illegal Maritime Arrivals From Safe Countries. Since 2018, illegal immigrants (many of whom make a claim for asylum) have been attempting to enter the United Kingdom by crossing the English Channel in small boats, often using inflatable dinghies.

Certainly getting worse under labour.

you’ve quoted migrationwatch, that’s run by a Conservative


Why are they quoting number of boats not number of people?


45,000 people arrived by boat in 2022 under Conservatives
1.2 million people migrated to,U.K. in 2023 under Conservatives
£800m spaffed up the wall on Rwanda for 0 people

Thank goodness we have a Labour govt that are reducing these numbers.
