The biggest unanswered (and suitably ignored) question is this…
We have established because we all see on the tv news and those on our streets regularly with our own eyes ( well some of us. ) that the absolute vast majority of these people are young fit men between around 18 to 35…
(The very FEW young familes amongst them I have no problem with at all, as long as they are genuine asylum seekers fitting that criteria.)
Now being that the particular age group is classed as ‘‘of fighting age’’ (ie…in a war,) and IF they actually ARE fleeing their ‘‘war torn country’’ wtf are they doing coming here, leaving their women behind, instead of fighting in that ‘‘war’’.?
Answer …
Because it is all basically bollcocks, they are purely economic migrants who see an incentive of milk and honey, entrering our country illegally instead of thriough the proper channells.
And still you still see those deluded imbeciles with their ‘‘Refugees welcome here’’ placards…(although definitely NOT welcome in their own homes.)
He’s too busy involving himself in stuff like tarriffs between the US and Canada etc at the moment, and US politics in general…because eveything over here is hunky dory in comparison…apparentlly.
Trump seems to be his latest flavour of the month as a ‘‘hate character’’.
Rumour has it that Boris is feeling left out and almost ‘jilted’
Well, 4 different posters since I put links showing what asylum seekers get in the UK vs in Germany nearly 24hrs ago.
One link has had two views, and one link one view.
It seems the posters are alligators: putting out their view but not listening to any replies.
(All mouth and no ears)
maybe because its complete lefty cobblers if you want to know how much is really spent on illegals per person you have to divide total expenditure by the number of illegals.
oh wait i did that… you dismissed it out of hand ie all mouth no ears
edit to add…
i believe that the amount prisoners get spent on them for food is £1 a day it certainly used to be. so getting £40.32 per illegal to feed them is luxury in my book
The conversation was about why some choose to come here, rather than be like the others who stop before getting here. The contention was that the UK gives migrants more than other countries. Not whether or not the UK spends more per capita in all costs.
The amount the UK pays in administration per head of migrant is a red-herring.
About £40,000 by your methodology!
Or more accurately £2-02 in 2019.
That is average cost of food alone, obviously bought in bulk, and not at retail prices.
Prisoners can receive money from outside to spend on extra food depending on local rules.
You think that having a bit under £6 a day for food is luxury?
Anyone with a bit of gumption will not starve, OK, but luxury?
I expect so.
If you consider your Gov and your national stance exactly equal to that of Iran and China, then fine.
I may well be wrong, but I like to think that the UK is a bit more caring than those two countries.
And a bit careless, rather than deliberately deceitful editing there I guess?
dunno where you got 40k from as there are over 80,000 prisoners in england and wales.
i just looked it up as of last year it was £2.70 a day per prisoner. so yes i would rather have the 6 pounds its more than i spend on my own food budget.
Yes prisoners can earn money by doing jobs but dont sit there and think that they are on anything like minimum wage… i think the top wage when i was there was about 9 quid a week. the average wage was enough to buy 1/2 ounce of tobacco a packet of cigerette papers and a box of matches.
Yes they can have money sent into their account but so can the illegals from their friends and family they came to this country for.
Caring?
Speak for yourself, I as a Brit certainly do not ‘‘care’’.
‘‘Caring’’ aint the right word, …soft touch and absolute suckers more like.
You really are a complete and utter tool mate.
All this crap you spout ’ They are ‘ONLY getting xyz’ in cash terms, …Maybe so, but it’s the rest of the package they get that boosts their '‘income’ …
Do ‘‘They who must be obeyed’ (who tell you what you have to think, in your useful idiot role) not mention this to you’?
Do I really have to make a list?
Somebody said to me the other day…
''Do you really think that Franglais guy is as gullible and naive as he makes out, or is he on one big TN pi55 take, and having a laugh at our expense.
I would really like to think it is the latter rather than the former,.although I am not convinced.
If it IS the former, …
Remove your head from up your arse mate…for your own good.
too bad you didnt read past the lefty pearl clutching headline you would of seen it is actually 3.5 billion not 4.1 which works out at 40,479 per person per year.
only another £100,000 more then it would be on par on what the illegals are costing. However im glad to see that your happy with that status quo that fred off face ache that spoke the truth is treated worse in terms of food and accommodation than some illegal
thing is the more entitled we get as a nation the more mental health issues will arise. where 20 years ago your mate would of given you a tap on the arm and told you to buck up now people are encouraged to cry and whinge.
There is no incentive now to for want of a better word buck up it makes a mockery of those with real mental health issues and disabilities.
i guess starmer isnt satisfied with racking it in from the pensioners so has to attack the disabled now. If he was really worried about the rising costs he should look at the scroungers that claim they are depressed but sit back with their legs apart popping out sprogs like no tomorrow.
In the UK 1.3m people now claim disability benefits primarily for mental health or behavioural conditions – 44% of all claimants, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) found.
Exploring the reasons behind the rise, which has “accelerated” since the pandemic, researchers said the UK was an outlier compared to other countries, none of which have seen the same level of post-pandemic increases in health-related benefit claims.
More than half of the rise in 16 to 64-year-olds claiming disability benefits since the pandemic is for claims relating to mental health or behavioural conditions, according to a report from the IFS.
As far as I am concerned, if you enter the country illegally then you get £0. You make your choices you suffer the consequences, end of! Stop the incentives you stop them coming.
