Like it is? Can you tell me how the British tax payer can keep on paying out billions a year to support unskilled unchecked boat people? Not being a tax payer you wouldn’t know would you.
Still living with mum and dad in middle class suburbia I bet.

This “invasion” by illegal immigrants reminds me of the Vietnamese “Asylum Seekers” in Hong Kong from the Fall of Saigon to 1997. Britain told Hong Kong to take the Vietnamese in and for years Hong Kong had to pay for their upkeep. The UNHCR claimed that they were the ones who would actually pay, but then did a runner owing Hong Kong millions. There were riots in the Detention Centres, including petrol bombs thrown at the police and Centres set on fire. The riots became so bad that the police had to use tear gas, which was of course castigated by the UK media and NGOs. One of the Hong Kong English language media outlets was nothing more than a mouthpiece for the UNHCR. It was also well known that Vietnamese criminals were amongst the illegal immigrants, not that the media wanted to hear about that. Any Vietnamese illegal immigrants who could not be resettled, and the UK was notably reticent to take in Vietnamese, were simply left in Hong Kong by the UNHCR. And US politicians, as usual, made a great deal of noise about what Hong Kong should do, without wanting to take in any illegal immigrants from the former North Vietnam. It was all very easy for the UK to pontificate about the Vietnamese illegal immigrants in Hong Kong, what with the problem being thousands of miles away. The UK was also unwilling to take in Chinese from Hong Kong before 1997, that is why they brought in the second-tier “British National (Overseas)” passport. It is also ironic that Hong Kong now has a higher GNI per capita than the “mother country”. Now the same kind of problem is coming to the UK it is called Karma.

Ireland currently upset at this effective deterrent...

[@kingmoochoo]

It's not so much the deporting she was angry with, it was the horrid use of music with harrowing images of people being taken from their homes that was disgusting.

[@NoWindNoSunNoPower]

Not their homes.

[@rustinusti]

@@NoWindNoSunNoPowerWhat do you mean not their homes? Please explain for the non-Britons.

[@CatonaWall175]

Transit housing funded by the taxpayer like the migrant hotels. There,do you understand now?

[@melluques8475]

I love to hear the ones that didn’t do anything to avoid those problems, with a pretentiously actitud of care for the English and England🥺🕊✝️

[@alasdairfinlayson]

Of course, protection of a country, and government working for the betterment of its tax paying citizens, is something the SNP know absolutely nothing about.
Quite the contrary in fact. Protection of their own interests at the expense of every living Scot, they're quite adept at!
