This is what the rhetoric coming from governments and politicians directly leads to. They aren't stupid people, they're very well aware.
We’re in West Belfast for an anti-racist rally following an attack on a family by men who forced their way into their home and terrorised a family with young children.
While fascists use the cover of night to attack communities, the West of the city stood in solidarity with the targeted family.

Far-right appeasement only ever benefits fascists.
The Overton window is now firmly in far-right territory under Starmer and Mahmood. No far-right election wins needed, no winning of arguments, just a weak and unprincipled Labour Party, PM and Home Secretary.

The ramifications of this will be calls from Reform and those who hold far-right views within other parties in Westminster to replicate crackdowns on those who oppose fascism. The proscription of Palestine solidarity was the canary in the coalmine for UK Government's state repression of dissent.

A new low in far-right appeasment from the UK Government. Border violence embeds racism, this includes denial or restriction of access to asylum. Who lives here belongs here.

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/

Appeasing the far-right gives the broader public the impression that their narrative is true. There is no way to stem support for Reform by endorsing their policies. Either you are fighting against them or you are, regardless of how you see yourself, fighting for them.

The only Legitimate Concerns about asylum seekers are concerns for their well being and safety. For a rich country like ours to incessantly whine about these people as if we are their victims is perhaps the single most pathetic spectacle in British politics over the past quarter century.

To explain briefly: at the moment people successful in their asylum claims get permission to stay in the UK for 5 years, then have to apply for permanent residency. At that point a review of their status is done, but it’s rare not to succeed at that point unless they‘ve committed an offence 1/
To reiterate, this is about making life immeasurably more miserable and stressful for some of the most vulnerable people, in the almost certainly vain hope of winning over the votes of racists.

Discrimination on the basis of “nationality” is as morally reprehensible as discrimination on the basis of skin colour and if the human race properly evolves one day it will be seen as such. Just because it’s been thoroughly normalised and accepted in international law doesn’t make it morally ok.
"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.

This is literally the point of offering people protection. They are talking about undermining the entire principle of refugee status and punishing people for having the misfortune of being forced to leave their country. I cannot imagine a more callous, cruel thing to think, let alone say out loud.

Here's the thing, removing permanent settlement is utterly counterproductive, as well as cruel. As @t0nyyates.bsky.social points out, most people seeking asylum don't know the asylum policies of countries they seek it in, so it isn't in any way a "deterrent". 1/3
It will reduce the effort refugees make to integrate, something that the racists in Labour and elsewhere claim to worry about. As asylum experts point out, grasp of local policies is often not great so it probably won't reduce the flow of asylum seekers, which is presumably the hope.
