Is the UK’s illegal migrant crackdown working? – BBC Newsnight

Published

on



The UK government has previously claimed some success in getting the numbers of illegal migrants down, but what headway, if any, have they made on sorting out what they’ve termed a “broken” asylum system?

More than 1,400 people have been detected crossing the English channel in a period of four days.

The Illegal Migration Bill, which aims to deport those arriving in the UK without permission, breaches a “number of the UK’s human rights obligations”, according to MPs and peers.

Newsnight’s Anna Collinson reports.

    People need to know, if you come here illegally, you will be sent away. It's our only defense. If we don't do this, you won't recognise this country in 30 years

    Lmao no racism or negativity at all but how can the prime minister and everyone have a problem with migrants when that is exactly what he is! He is not British! His grandfather came here the same way many moons ago! If your gonna allow non British people to come here because they have a job lined up or because of any reason then everyone should! All or nothing!

    What the f**k does this slimy government Intend doing about the thousand’s of illegal migrants. It wouldn’t surprise me if this slimy government. Issues them all with new passports.
    To avoid having to deport them.

    In less than 10 years this country will be a total cess pit and lawless. The UK will become a 3rd world country.

    I hope these hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants will eventually be deported. I can’t believe they are going to be allowed to stay in this country. Not even with this government. I don’t give a toss where they are deported as long as they are out of this country.

    Lawyers shouldn't be permitted to hamper the deportation of illegal migrants.

    India faced the same problem with Bangladeshi migration and the sad part is politicians tend to support them for vite bank , and make policies to help them , and not for the locals , Uk should be saved from situation like this !

    I try and keep an open mind with this situation, when they arrive at our side of the pond I wonder whats horrors they've risked their lives for to get here.
    Then there's the other issue we have countless of homeless uk citizens that have served in the armed forces risked their own lives and are on the streets that is appalling

    Millions of migrants are lining up all across North Africa and elsewhere with millions more to follow awaiting their chance to cross the Mediterranean to Europe then most of them heading to Northern France to invade the UK. Sunak needs to stop piddling around with courts lawyers etc and turn these boats around now using our armed forces to do it.

    British people have no grounds for complaints. Their country, i.e. them, invaded, conquered, subjugated, dominated and exploited vast sections of the globe up until the recent past, as far as historical past goes. It should come as no surprise that many countries are dirt poor and their citizens will risk life and limb to get to the UK to exploit their systems

  24. @skrq9167

    December 31, 2023 at 2:37 pm

    The only way is to tow the boats back before they get to British soil. And stop giving the EU money.

    December 31, 2023 at 2:37 pm

    We need ID CARDS which should have both our National Insurance number and National Health number included. Most of Europe operates like this. Why isn’t the Government doing this? Why isn’t the media covering this solution?

  26. @razor2ts

    December 31, 2023 at 2:37 pm

    There's been no crackdown at all, £8,000 000+ a day to house Illegals! The tory's have sold the UK out! Time for a massive change in our government! Labour can't be trusted! Reform has my vote in the next election! It's an easy choice! The only thing that will stop this influx of boats atm is our good old British winter weather!

  27. @chrisclarke4541

    December 31, 2023 at 2:37 pm

    If the Tories really want to win the next general election. they must stop all this fiddle faddling with courts. judges. lawyers bleeding hearts and do-gooders and take action now to turn these boats around and dump the migrants back in France. I might just vote for them then !!!

    Sunak needs to declare a state of emergency which could override all court decisions and start sending migrants to Rwanda now as well as turning boats around and escorting them back to France with or without French agreement. If the French could agree to it. we could help them to prevent migrants entering France from Italy. Germany etc .

  35. @joelaw5207

    December 31, 2023 at 2:37 pm

    This refusal to send them back highlights the idiots in power, who can't agree weather it's day or night. We have charities acting like traitors to this mass invasion.
    We must Close Europe's borders. Detain & Deport. Not feed & shelter Don't encourage this infestation, if you feed rats more & more will come
    These unskilled, uneducated, 3rd world bogus asylum beggars need to be brought back to africa until they get the message : we don't want you, and if you come we will deport you

  36. @chrisclarke4541

    December 31, 2023 at 2:37 pm

    I've heard that bogus asylum seekers having conned the authorities into granting them leave to remain are destitute and living rough. Boo hoo .isn't it terrible. Here's a solution. go up to Eastern England and work you're arses off cutting cabbages. digging potatoes. picking fruit etc and pay back some of the money you have cost taxpayers.

  37. @SLEEPYSID99

    December 31, 2023 at 2:37 pm

    Apparently the exclusiiin zone is 16miles around the UK 🇬🇧 and as France is only 26miles from dover to Calais then our exclusion zones cross therefore there's NO exclusion zone but if you hitch a migrant biat and tow it out of the exclusiiin zone then there are no laws and therefore you may sink the boats and shoot to kill

    This latest bill of 8 million pounds a day dumped onto taxpayers will look like pocket money unless action is taken immediately. We cannot afford to waste time waiting for court decisions. ACTION NOW !!!!!!

  42. @hanndonfield91

    December 31, 2023 at 2:37 pm

    The BBC is biased not fit for purpose and should be defended immediately, they are strongly pro immigration, and currently the proposal to just let everyone in does not work!!!!!

Calls for Ukraine to become member of EU as refugees flee conflict – BBC News

Published

on



Poland’s president is among those calling for Ukraine to be granted EU membership, as an estimated 200,000 refugees have crossed into Poland.

One couple at the border, originally from Morocco and living in Ukraine, told the BBC how they have spent over 24 hours on a train followed by a 70km walk to reach the border where refugees were separated into different queues, one for Ukrainians and one for non Ukrainians. The couple have now entered Poland.

Palestinians and Israelis clash over hillside – BBC News

Published

on



Eight people have been killed and hundreds injured in protests in the occupied West Bank.

The number of Palestinians killed in confrontations with Israelis this year, in the area, is already more than 70 – the highest figure in five years.

The worst hotspot for violence has been in the Palestinian village of Beita, where locals began organising the recent protests after hard-line Jewish settlers set up a new outpost on land claimed by Palestinian olive farmers.

The BBC’s Middle East Correspondent, Yolande Knell reports.

Nepal-Tibet flood death toll exceeds 700 | BBC News

Published

on



At least 734 people have died and more than 2,400 people are missing in Nepal, local officials say, after flash floods on Wednesday, triggered by a glacier collapse.

In Tibet, the official death toll is 16, with 546 reported to be missing, according to Chinese state media.

Nearly 20,000 security forces are deployed in rescue efforts on the Nepal-Tibet border as the UN says rough terrain and rain is making aid delivery “extremely difficult”.

We speak to Vali Nasr,  professor of international affairs and Middle East studies at Johns Hopkins University, and ask whether in trying to end one war, President Trump risks starting a global trade conflict.
