Both political parties have been responsible for unfettered immigration where criminals have been entering this country for years. We have enough of our own criminals why allow even more in?
So we now have Albanian gangs running drug dealing and prostitution in most major cities. ( Albania another safe country that these thugs stressed is unsafe and subsequently allowed into the UK. )
The civil service is now running the asylum system. The views of the majority of people in this country who want stricter regulation and people 'illegally' living here sent back are being ignored.
They are telling us that Turkey is not a 'safe' country to send people back to and yet thousands of Britons holiday there each year.
Our population is rising significantly with pressure on the NHS, Schools, and the Criminal Justice System. Kent has particularly taken the brunt of unlimited migration with local, English born residents, struggling to find school placements for their own children.
Meanwhile the tax payers are paying millions of pounds to house people in hotels when our own war veterans are sleeping on the street. This is the reality.
As the saying goes 'You couldn't make it up'
These issues started with the small boat crossings back in 2018. You need to look who was in power and what decisions they made that caused it. That isn’t Labour’s fault.
Immigration did begin to increase under Labour but maxing out at 250,000 net. Hardly unfettered. Look what has happened since the children took over the Tory party - it has exploded. Only 8% of the figures are small boats. The Tories have either chosen to increase numbers or they are incompetent.
You mention returns agreements - Turkey for example. You can’t just fly folk and drop them off at any country you fancy, you need to negotiate a return agreement. That’s the Government who have failed to sort this issue, not Labour.
If you want to point the finger at anyone at least point it at the right people. No point banging on about 1997 and Labour, it’s 25 years ago. Plus I can’t remember any of these problems under Blair and Brown. The country was thriving.
