Over 600 migrant have arrived by small in the last seven days.

And still our Government does nothing.

And never will.....

They spelt illegal wrong.

Why didn't you put these stats up when the Tories were in government, or are you one of those people who bury their heads in the sand and pretend it never happened under Tory rule?

Tories did zero about the small boats problem, the Rwanda idea was lunacy. Overall the tories were far better than this awful labour government though.

You sound chairman Starmer - it's always someone else's fault. His excuse for everything.

However, I remember during the election campaign Starmer saying over and over, 'everthing would be better under labour', 'stop the nonsense', 'time for change', etc.

Labour have done nothing except go to war against the British people. Nothing labour has done has even made sense.

I HATE LABOUR AND I HATE STARMER. They are destroying this country.

79 on the 22/01/25 and they just keep coming. I assume that they are seeking asylum because Europe and especially France has turned into a warzone and their lives were endangered. I mean who would paddle half way across the Channel hoping to be picked up and brought to the U.K.!

Why would they stop coming when the government puts adverts out like this?

I don't get free prescriptions, free dentist, free eyesight tests. And our pensioners get to freeze to death.

This is what the page should say.

And taxpayer-funded driving lessons. But not being from local taxes somehow makes a difference.

None of it is free as the government tries to claim. It's all funded from taxing citizens.

U.K. LAW STATES THAT A PERSON ENTERING THE U.K. ILLEGALLY 

Illegal Migration Act 2023

The Illegal Migration Act changes the law so that those who arrive in the UK illegally will not be able to stay here and will instead be detained and then promptly removed, either to their home country or a safe third country.

The act aims to:

• put a stop to illegal migration into the UK by removing the incentive to make dangerous small boat crossings

• speed up the removal of those with no right to be here - in turn this will free up capacity so that the UK can better support those in genuine need of asylum through safe and legal routes

• prevent people who come to the UK through illegal and dangerous journeys from misusing modern slavery safeguards to block their removal

• ensure that the UK continues to support those in genuine need by committing to resettle a specific number of the most vulnerable refugees in the UK every year

I ASSUME UNDER LABOUT THIS WILL NEVER BE ACTIONED IN REALITY, ALSO THEY DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO CLAIM ASYLUM EITHER BUT THE GOVERNMENT IS QUITE HAPPY TO PUT THEM ON THE ASYLUM LIST.
