My dear sister. The major selling point of the Rwanda 'gimmick' (now this is me quoting Sir K.S) was/is meant to be the deterrent effect.

Now Imagine this scenario for a second:
200 people arrive in Dover on a boat. As soon as they approach the shores, they are given hot meals, nice fish and chips and ushered into the Bibby Stockholm. The next day, another 150 arrive. Same thing. That evening, 2 Boeing 777 planes take off with ALL 350 of the arrivals to Kigali.

The next day, most Newspapers in France and Belgium (plus UK Daily Mail and Telegraph) splashed their front pages with photos of the successful arrival of the 2 Boeing aircraft at Kigali International Airport.

What do you think will happen to those dudes (well and a few lasses) in Calais? Do you honestly think they will pay thousands of Euros to 'people smugglers' to put them on dingies? NO WAY!!

I tell you, 99% (my estimate) will ququma abort the mission immediately. Now, that is the deterrent effect.

PS: The ideal thing would have been for the Rwanda policy to be backed up with the UK foreign office expanding their consulate in France so that anyone in France who genuinely believes they are qualified for UK asylum could go to the consulate to be processed. Or in fact, the French Govt should allow the UK to open an asylum processing centre in Calais so that any successful applicants are ferried across the channel legally and smoothly - via Eurostar or HMS Belfast or HMS Elizabeth or HMS Zahradeen. I'm sure you know France will not want that. In this case, anyone who arrives at Dover in an inflatable is, strictly speaking, an illegal criminal (under UK laws).

I'm sure you have heard or read reports of French Coast guards escorting the dingies through French waters, and once they are in English waters, the RNLI rescues them.

Good day. Please is nursing under the ISL? I was asked this question in the visa form I'm filling and don't know. It's not stated on my CoS too

Zahra29:
Hi, you can check if your occupation code is on the immigration salary list :

I need help guys. Is it absolutely safe to keep money in my revolut bank? I have over 4k pounds in it, my BRP is expiring by end of next week and I have moved out of UK. I fear an update or whatever will require me to verify my identity with a UK card which I won't be having very soon.

Deeegbee:
It depends on if you are returning to the UK soon.

kumbhuru:
Thank you. It isn't on the list.

Hope it doesn't has effect on visa approval?

UnconventionalT:
I am not.
Is it advisable to remove my money before the visa expires?

BouharryArtikou:
Do you know what Labour party's legal immigration policies are?

UnconventionalT:
I am not.
Is it advisable to remove my money before the visa expires?

Zahra29:
It shouldn't, the list mainly impacts salary as occupations on the list can be paid a bit less to qualify for sponsorship.

You should be fine as long as you meet the relevant criteria for the health & care visa.

babajeje123:
So are you saying migrants should vote a party known for anti-immigration policies? Abeg how will they benefit from the so called favourable policies after they've been sent home?

kumbhuru:
Thank you. Don't be angry o. What's tlsconnect and vsfglobal?
I'm just trying not to make mistakes

My name sake just decided to score something akin to a hat-trick of own goals.
How on earth do you leave Macron, Biden, Zelensky, etc and fly back home just to record an interview? An interview that isn’t even going to be aired Live. How?

Pathetic!

Jamesclooney:
Anyone travelling for Euros or Olympics this summer? Just got my Schengen visa and trying to make travel arrangements via Eurostar (tired of flying). Any tips for a young couple would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

ReesheesuKnack:
Do you mean the party below?

Raalsalghul:
What sector?

lavida001:
Can you also share the industry ?

Mamatukwas:
Evening folks. Who do ya’ll use for Life Insurance? Any industry faves? And if yes why?

Lexusgs430:
I would tell you for free, the insurance company you start with, would change ownership, multiple times over the duration of your policy........

I have lost count, how many times I got new transfer letters.......

Go with the provider that offers you the best deal, your premiums would keep increasing, every year (the older you get)......😂😜🍓

Mamatukwas:
Chai! Okay. Thanks for the advice.

Zahra29:
Have you examined Labour's policies on legal immigration? They're talking quite tough, for example

In May 2023, Labour said that employers would have to meet extra conditions to receive a sponsor licence, such as demonstrating efforts to train domestic workers.

This is proposing a return to the stricter conditions that were in place pre Brexit where companies had to prioritise the domestic and EU workforce before they were allowed to hire internationally.

My dear brother,

The whole point is that the Rwanda deterrent is not working. The boats are still arriving, in increasing number.

Also have you looked at the details of the Rwanda plan? The elephant in the room is that even when fully operational , Rwanda can only accept a very limited number of migrants:

News reports have said that the numbers sent to Rwanda would initially be low, with Rwanda suggesting it will take 1,000 asylum seekers in the five-year trial period.

1000 in 5 years? So approx 200 a year

Meanwhile over 10,000 have arrived in the year to June so far. What do you propose happens to the remaining 19,800 that can't be sent to Rwanda? That is the ones they can actually find as many land and then abscond. It's not like they'll be sitting patiently in their rooms waiting to be one of the sample few that are put on the plane.

And this is assuming the planes actually take off as there will be a myriad of human rights challenges lodged in the courts against removal from the UK.

Why haven't any planes left yet? The only person they've sent over is the man they paid a few thousand bob to leave!

The scheme is as dead as a dodo, Tories are just trying to pull a fast one and wasting £ hundreds of millions of our money in the process.

Britain grew wealthy and prosperous on the back of sailing to other people's shore illegally to claim the benefits of those countries .

They only receive a pinch of what they've done to others over the years and are already irked.

I still got the attached this morning from a recruiter connection.

Perhaps anti immigration is the wrong choice of words, I should have maybe said strict immigration policies. In any case I have had a look at their immigration policy and as far as I can see their proposed solutions are very similar to what the other political parties are proffering. See below:

https://www.reformparty.uk/immigration

You need to also remember that we are all different and are at different stages of our life journey. What might appear important to you might rank low in my list of priorities. I will very gladly vote Labour but I’m strongly against their proposed VAT on independent school tuition fees, Education is not taxed anywhere in Europe but due to Brexit, labour is now stealthy trying to impose tax on education. I will rather spoil my ballot paper than vote for that policy, I also have a young female child and I cannot vote a party that refuses to pledge to protect safe spaces for women and girls.

I have not made up my mind on which party to vote but Labour is definitely out of the question for me, based on the issues I have highlighted. I know Starmer will be our next PM with or without my vote, however I’m not prepared to aid that process. I’m also in Scotland and have the additional dilemma of SNP but those ones have completely lost their sense of direction and it’s now a case of the blind leading the blind.
