Couple of things. Were many of the Vietnamese, Chinese, Albanians, Nigerians, Eritreans, Iranians getting bombed making them want to come here? 

You dont need to be getting bombed to be in fear for your life

We didn’t allow every Ukrainian who wanted to come here in. Many were refused visas.

They applied to come here so they couldn’t have stopped off anywhere first 
 

 

Why not a similar scheme for Palestinians?

 

 

Anyway, Im glad we took in the Ukraine folk

And Im glad they can claim benefits

Just a bit confused by the double standards

When did these boat crossings become a thing anyway. Is it mainly post Brexit?

Good point very well made

 

However, what would you do if you couldnt work legally?

The answer isnt clean windows!

Maybe stay in Albania where it's absolutely fine and safe to do so and work there.

I can't imagine many of our neighbours being particularly sympathetic to our numbers of boat crossings given they take in so many more than we do.

It's a difficult thing to get a handle on across the world, not just our southern coast. What I do know though is that Rwanda bollocks was a total waste of money.

Many aren’t in fear of their life.

Increased funding is definitely welcome, but how far does that figure stretch in this day and age?

As you say its about where it's spent but the outline plans look positive - as I say, I believe it's step in the right direction after quite a lot of ill thought out non plans, silly slogans and ultimately targets not met.

Anyway - here is the speech in full if folk want to go through some.of the detail of it https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/pm-speech-to-the-interpol-general-assembly-4-november-2024

It seems no one wants them, not even their neighbours. Maybe other countries are onto something.

Its a bit shitty making out all they can do/willing to do is cash work

What do you expect folk to do if we wont let them work legally

We have a shortage of willing workers

Utilise em, pay tax n everything

Because a lot come here for the purpose of working illegally or claim benefits.

These Vietnamese folk don't just stumble in to cannabis farms. They are sent on order.

Asylum seekers are not economic migrants and shouldn't be treated as such

I've no idea. I'm just explaining that the idea that all those that are coming on boats are fleeing war torn countries and all here to be upstanding pillars of the community is for the birds.

Many of them are here to exploit the system and work for criminal gangs.

Which obviously isn't good is it.

You must ask Egypt and other surrounding countries why they don't want any of them. This might answer your question.

No and nor should it ever unless you have completely lost your fucking marbles.
