The backlog of asylum cases in the UK has risen to a new record high, Home Office figures show.

More than 175,000 people were waiting for a decision on whether they will be granted refugee status at the end of June 2023 - up 44% from last year.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has set a target of clearing the so-called legacy backlog by the end of the year.

Since his promise in December 2022, Home Office officials have cleared on average 2,061 cases a month.

With 67,870 cases remaining, the Home Office will have to process with 11,311 cases per month if it is to meet its target.

In other words it's not going to happen

20 new hospitals

10000 more police officers

Etc Etc

Re: Argy bargey

It’s not for me to say. Unlike some, I’m not obsessed by the subject, so my knowledge of the subject isn’t detailed enough to claim I know all of the answers to the problem but that doesn’t mean I’m unable to voice my disapproval of the Government’s gaslighting. In the Afghanistan example I mentioned, the UK would most likely be the first choice for the people concerned.

Surprised at your lack of a reply to the questions I asked about fascism, all you’ve got is a load of whataboutism and the use of that word “context” which people who are losing an argument are so quick to turn to.

It does highlight the complexities on the ground though doesn't it. The four star hotel (hardly bad accommodation) the 100 staff with lost jobs (dreadful for them), the Plaid local council doesn't want it used (almost as if all parties see the reality when having to make a decision), the home Office (the evil ones?) does want it used. Lack of local community consultation (should they have a say?) the promise to only house families (what about all the young men, where do they go?)

It's a very difficult and complex situation, and severval more boats arrive every day.

The list of 12 early warning signs of fascism..I thought you WEREN'T saying we were going down that route? I don't think the UK ticks any of those boxes tbh. I think it's fairly daft list that can be applied by opponents of nearly every regime to almost any regime.

As I said, similar lists and memes are shared online to try and present Biden as turning America into some communist state, but they are all ridiculous.

Not sure how much further this thread can go either, but I'm taking a short break for the BH weekend, so wishing you a great one 👍

“That barge thing”, been in Portland now for 81 days with a DAILY mooring cost of £24,500.

That's £1,984,500 so far to the Tory donors who own the port, see how it works?

Jamey to defend in 1, 2, 3 …… but Labour, but Jeremy Corbyn, but those anti-growth coalition, but the left teachers, nurses and doctors blah blah bloody blah.
