Small boat crossings to hit 50,000 since Labour came to power

A government minister describes the number as "unacceptable" but says Labour is "making progress".

Well “ smashing the gangs “ doesn’t seem to be going very well. 50000 at 42k per head per year 🤔🤷‍♂️. 
I suppose shutting down a proven deterrent in your first days in the job based upon ideology wasn’t a good start. The Chagos thing is looking very expensive far more that initially stated. Regards the economy Labour are not going anywhere fast neither. 

If Farage was to somehow win power and manged to stop these boat crossings, what would you do when living standards continue to collapse? Who or what would you blame then?

If Farage got in and said 'right another £500 per year tax on all people with income, workers, pensioners the lot - use this extra money to stop the invasion, Navy style'.  I would happily learn to love my collapsing standard of living, just to get rid of these invaders. The small boats can't penetrate a wall of grey steel armed with radar.

All Navy vessels to the channel and all leave cancelled until further notice

Yes, but when 'the invaders' are repelled and they are no longer a burden, who will you blame for the continuing collapse in our standard of living?

you are suggesting Reform will cause everyone to suffer more than the greens, liberals, labour, cons

 

I wouldnt blame Farage for collapse if he could finally repel - remember it would be a 'collapse' down from a very high level. We are not talking about a collapse down to Sudan standards, if there was one.

Nope, what I'm suggesting is that the migrant thing is something of a 'dead cat'. I am not saying it's a problem that shouldn't be sorted. It's just not the one that will sort the economy. 

The real problem in terms of the collapse of living standards is the very wealthy stripping the assets of this country.

I actually think the Greens and the new whatever they are called party offer a chance to level things out. Assuming Zach Polanski wins the ballot.

Meanwhile, in other news, stuff is turning white. It turns out that bad news is not always about stuff turning black.
