There isn't mass illegal immigration!thanks mate , i really can't be bothered .......the fact is there are hundreds if vids of both sides of the argument doing the wrong thing , i find it rather amusing that people from Dorset , Mid -Sussex , Faversham , worthing and the like don't have a problem with mass , illegal immigration ......why would they ....?? Anyway as someone else has said , this subject makes people tense and in a lot of cases downright angry so i'll apologise for being rude , i'm a believer in the divide and conquer manifest and i have fallen into the net .....all the best UTA:
You can argue that immigration as a whole is too high but illegal immigration (undocumented persons sits at between 400,000 and 1.2 million depending on your source - obviously as they are in documented it is hard to count them.
Perhaps you are incorrectly labelling asylum seekers as illegal immigrants? These are known as irregular arrivals and their were 38,500 odd in the last recorded year.
Conflating these important distinctions does the cause no good and makes it very hard to pin down people's actual concerns.

ok , so 800k( we'll take an average) "asylum seekers" to be housed and fed while their cases are prepared and heard , thats a fair few GBP's that have to be found every week no...?? how long can it be maintained...?? Given that we've already had a good 3 years of it , at 1500 quid a week thats 180 billion quid ....lotta money , and people in Britain wonder why petrol , food , heating etc. is so expensive , taxed to the hilt to pay for it.There isn't mass illegal immigration!

Nope - You are looking at the figures for undocumented persons -https://jcwi.org.uk/resource/who-are-the-uks-undocumented-population/ The figures are for the estimated numbers in the UK at the moment not anually.
From the website linked here are their suggestions for dealing with these numbers.
The numbers for Asylum Seekers (not sure why they need inverted commas, it is what they are) are the numbers for irregular entries.
In the year ending March 2024, there were 38,546 irregular arrivals, 28% fewer than in the year ending March 2023, and 81% of these arrived by small boats.
So can we agree that there is no 'mass illegal immigration' for "people from Dorset , Mid -Sussex , Faversham , worthing and the like" to not have a problem with?
To address the cost of asylum seekers, I would suggest that processing them quickly would save a lot of money on housing a food for them. It would also get the genuine ones (about 75-80% I believe) into the work force to fill the vacancies needed and crucially paying for themselves and paying tax. You have to wonder why the Conservatives have chosen not to do this for the last 4 years, or why people so passionate about the 'migrant problem' have consistently voted for a government who have spent so much money slowing the process down. INcluding a disasterous and illegal finacial white elephant of trying to send the poor bugger to Rwanda.
Surely a better solution to trying to burn down the buildings housing the poor bastards?

I think it is a confusing process, as it must have been when murderers on both sides of the Northern Ireland troubles were effectively forgiven. The peace process put aside the concept of who or what was ‘right’ in order to find a middle ground that moved everyone forward from decades of hate and violence. Similarly in Rwanda (genocide) and South Africa (apartheid).
Justice through the courts must prevail in the current situation but if we want to become a society without racism, bigotry etc then we also need to put aside some of our own convictions about what is right or wrong in order to address the causes.
By so doing we can hope to eliminate the source of oxygen that enables the EDF and Farage to breath and be heard.
We don't have mass illegal immigration. That's why.thanks mate , i really can't be bothered .......the fact is there are hundreds if vids of both sides of the argument doing the wrong thing , i find it rather amusing that people from Dorset , Mid -Sussex , Faversham , worthing and the like don't have a problem with mass , illegal immigration ......why would they ....??

800k asylum seekers. What are you on about! This is why the public is so ill informed. It’s misinformation spread by people like you.
Which is obviously bollocks.
The annual cost for the whole of the NHS is 'only' £164 billion:

As we head towards an election, Nuffield Trust is tracking the NHS’s financial health and putting it into context with recent spending and funding trends.

And we spend 'only' £57 billion on defence
A more realistic cost of housing asylum seekers? £3 billion.
Housing asylum seekers in hotels costs around £8 million a day - Full Fact
The Prime Minister appeared to understate the cost when claiming in local TV interviews that £5-6 million a day is spent on hotels for “illegal migrants”.

Anyway, I have told you a million billion times that you render your arguments useless by exaggerating.

@Harry Wilson's tackle , the AVERAGE duration of an Asylum hearing is 3 years in Australia with leave to appeal , some cases can go on for 5 yrs or longer so its simple maths 800,000 an average of the estimated numbers above ( some less scrupulous channels have put the number at over 2.5 million , another story) say it costs 1000 GBP's a week ( i allowed 1500 originally) and lets give them the 3 year average so thats 156 weeks ......that figure comes to 124,800,000,000 GBP ... it's just a matter of maths really ....if you want to say the amount of people who have arrived on boats is only 200k then it's still 31, 200,000,000so to say the cost is 3,000,000,000 is pure bollocks unless they are being housed and fed for 100 GBP a week.....:Which is obviously bollocks.

Sadly he died of cancer in 2011. I was astonished he hadn't been sought out as a major session bassist. But it seemed he lived the life of an artist, sculpting and whatnot.

The winter fuel allowance that was scrapped by Reeves was circa £2bn so it would be true to say that if the cost was taken out the 3bn budget for housing illegals, that benefit for pensioners could continue?Which is obviously bollocks.

Well, if this headline is true, I have no doubt this will pacify the discontented……….I think the comments are a good indicator of the public consensus.
At least we can see whose side the Government is on.
You seem to be taking the maximum amount of everything and treating it as the average in your calculations.@Harry Wilson's tackle , the AVERAGE duration of an Asylum hearing is 3 years in Australia with leave to appeal , some cases can go on for 5 yrs or longer so its simple maths 800,000 an average of the estimated numbers above ( some less scrupulous channels have put the number at over 2.5 million , another story) say it costs 1000 GBP's a week ( i allowed 1500 originally) and lets give them the 3 year average so thats 156 weeks ......that figure comes to 124,800,000,000 GBP ... it's just a matter of maths really ....if you want to say the amount of people who have arrived on boats is only 200k then it's still 31, 200,000,000so to say the cost is 3,000,000,000 is pure bollocks unless they are being housed and fed for 100 GBP a week.....:
If you are going to make calculations on how much tax is spent dealing with asylum seekers you can only use known asylum seekers in the calculation. We don't spend any money on unknown asylum seekers.
And to suggest 2.5 million illegal asylum seekers a year.....
Did you know that it is estimated there are a billion inhabited planets in the universe. However the size of the universe is infinite. This means that the average density of the population of the universe is a finite number divided by infinity. Anything divided by infinity is zero. This means the average population of the universe is zero. This means the actual population of the universe must also be zero. And I didn't even base my calculation on estimates of 'illegal' population which is very certainly lurking out here. You can do anything with maths.

the only place i discuss this really is on here , spreading misinformation is a tad grand , only other chats had are people who have recently returned from various parts of the country and said it's got to shit ....almost to a man /woman
Bingo..! other parts of the country do have problems with illegal immigrants /asylum seekers , call it/ them what you will
