They think we’re all dumb.

Crikey! Didn’t notice that Tony. Ridiculous

And government refuse to share any data on deaths at our border. So we can’t even track which policies are driving deaths.

What put them in boats? Were they refused a visa? What family did they have here?

Until we answer these questions we’ll never have proper asylum policies.

The difference between having a Labour government and Tory government is barely discernible isn’t Dan?

Government have plummeted so far down the anti migrant rabbit hole they’re picking up where the Tories left off, dusting off their projects and reimplementing them.

They know these sites harm. They know they cost a fortune. They’re doing it anyway.

All these factors massively harm people & our communities. And they all come at an eye watering cost to us as taxpayers.

Which is why Labour always pledged to close them. Now they’re planning to open more.

Meaning government make more wrong decisions, adding to appeals backlog.

Crucially people are unable to learn English, learn about UK customs & practices, unable to volunteer, build social bridges & bonds, damaging everyone’s outcomes.

Unsurprisingly these awful places, in the middle of nowhere, without any asylum support infrastructure, lead to far higher mental health crisis, with suicidal ideation & self harm commonplace.

These sites also make it far more difficult for people to get legal advice…

We’re in another death spiral of click bait, reactionary policy announcements.

All utterly counter productive to having a calm dignified asylum system that works to reduce irregular migration and maximise good outcomes for the people going through it.

-Changed the asylum support system so folk on £9.50 a week can’t buy snowmobiles, time shares or children’s toys
- They’re considering using actual warehouses to warehouse people

All without any discussion or consultation, all without any evidence based understanding of impact

100% correct. Exactly this. They use people seeking asylum, who are fully subjugated by the state, to test authoritarian measures to deploy on everyone.

We have one of the lowest asylum claim rates in Europe. And yet all they talk about is ‘pull factors’. There are no pull factors which is why we have ONE OF THE LOWEST claim rates in Europe.

They’ll say ‘owt as long as it’s tied to lowering migration & the media will lap it up.

People who arrive are already given an ARC card while they’re in the asylum system, and a BRP. And that’s already chaos! BRPs with wrong names, getting lost, not being issued.

No one’s ever been able to properly explain how ID cards would help with irregular migration?!
