Ridiculous really isn't it, this scheme is a waste of time and money, as was the Rwanda scheme (was that £700M for 4 people?) - no scheme will ever work, they'll just keep coming, and the number will continue to increase, no matter who is in power

They only stop coming, if/when we don't make it an attractive proposition to be here

 

It's common sense really, isn't it

Or work to stop their countries of origin being shitholes. At an event with refugee wimmin earlier in the week and the majority were from Iran, Afghanistan and Syria. Not countries I'd fancy living as a bloke never mind a lass.

Yes because billions havent already been spent in thsoe shit holes. When you have corrupt / terrorist governments it’s obvious where the money will go. As sweep says, stop making it so attractive.

We've sold billions in weapons to be used to bomb Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Afghanistan etc. not sure how that makes folk want to stay in those countries.

The number of migrants isn't solely a UK issue, the best option is making it so people don't feel the desire to pay people smugglers their life savings to escape.

Do you think they check where the weapons have come from first before deciding where to go? Regardless of where we have bombed we have also given those countries, plus many more that we havent bombed, billions to improve their countries. They still flee.

Hope it works better than the £476m deal we came up with in 2023
