My granddad was a refugee, my wife, our close friends and those of our kids are either immigrants or the children of immigrants.
Do ministers ever think about the message their rhetoric on "handouts" and "golden tickets" for migrants sends about whether this is a government for people like us?

who knows, maybe a Hungarian can say something worthwhile
A man?? winning the Booker prize????? Is that even possible? It hasn't happened since the far-flung days of 2023. Our legends say that a man also won it in the ancient, prehistoric era of 2021, but surely that is just an old wives tale meant to frighten MFA students before bed.

ah. more "legitimate concerns"
Another magic money tree delusion. The country cannot afford overwhelming numbers of immigrants entering the country and then given citizenship. Is there any number where you say " enough is enough".

But why are they coming here? How? You're imagining fictional versions of reality based on your own leftist fantasies. You tell me why people are risking their lives to reach the UK, from France.

Complaining that immigrants won't integrate while supporting a policy that makes it impossible for them to integrate. Great job, losers.

The last sentence is an interesting moment in the English language. Of course it's true that these articles hinder the removal of asylum seekers, much like making murder illegal hinders people who want to kill people.
There is no difference in practice between removing rights of individuals and leaving the ECHR. The end outcome is still the same, people lose rights. If human rights are an obstacle to your policy it is not the rights which are the issue, it is your policy. Labour going full Reform at this stage.

Make people reapply for leave 8 times? Right now there are hundreds of people with refugee status in limbo because they have applied for indefinite leave in time after 5 years and not got a response. They're legally here with full rights and no papers to show for it. Home Office can't cope.
We don’t make most people (again, with exceptions for those committing offences) re-apply for asylum on a regular basis or make their status ‘permanently temporary‘, so to speak, for two good reasons 2/

If you want us to give Labour credit for stuff like renters reform - yes, it's a good thing - or investment in the NHS, then you have to stop trying to out-do the fascists on immigration.

If you didn't know who this guy was, you wouldn't be able to guess if he was a Labour, Reform, or Tory candidate.

We're stuck with it, but determining someone's legal rights based on a nebulous combination of birthplace and parentage is actually pretty fucking weird, and it'd be better if we talked about it as an unfortunate practical necessity not a natural phenomenon
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Have to say I find the proposals to take away the route to permanent settlement of refugees both shocking and repulsive. It's code for 'whatever you do and contribute you can never become one of us so we won't allow you to try.' Racism, pure and simple.
