In addition to the issue of illegal migration, the overall scale of migration to the UK is even more astounding when considering the latest government statistics published on May 22, 2025, by the Home Office for 2024, show there were 132.3 million arrivals, with 55% being British nationals. The government also granted 956,000 non-visit visas, which translates to a rough daily average of approximately 2,618 people per day. These figures are based on HMG's own data, highlighting the ongoing scale of migration to the UK.

Use of the word 'illegal' only adds to the disingenuity and agenda driven falsehoods.

There is nothing illegal about seeking asylum. This is consistently ignored by many who discuss the channel crossings.

Rishi though not elected outlined five key priorities: halving inflation, growing the economy, cutting debt, reducing National Health Service waiting lists, and stopping the illegal small-boat crossings of the English Channel by enacting the Rwanda asylum plan.

Any more bull needed, if things carry on running their course I wonder what the fascists Reform will promise

Cabinet Members at the time knew Rwanda was unworkable yet they turned a blind-eye and spaffed £750m against the wall.

Record numbers -at the time- crossed the channel.

The scheme was the ultimate in tory folly.

"Use of the word 'illegal' only adds to the disingenuity and agenda driven falsehoods.

Indeed, seeking asylum is a right protected under international law, specifically the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol. Individuals have the right to seek asylum from persecution in another country.

However, the crucial question remains as to how many asylum seekers have been genuinely exposed to persecution?

Those who fail assessment through the asylum determination process are then deemed to be irregular migrants or undocumented individuals.

Moreover, those who bypass the system altogether remain totally unaccounted for, posing a challenge to the much pressurised UK domestic resources.

What is crucial is that people will -sadly- continue to use the word 'illegal'.

Discussion around whether or not asylum seekers are genuine depends on the media/sources engaged with by individuals with an interest in the issue.

False media aplenty has only clouded the issue.

It's easy for politicians to make promises but far more difficult to carry them out once elected. Events, often out of their control--e.g. wars, weather, financial downturns worldwide etc. etc.--often dictate what they can and cannot do.

Yes, I agree, politicians do face tough challenges in keeping their promises when unexpected events like wars, economic shifts, and other global issues, such as the pandemic etc arise.

These things can be beyond their control and make it hard to follow through on commitments.

They made no such promise, you wouldn't seeing how well "stop the boats" went for Rishi.

What they promised was smash the gangs, now if you interpreted that as stop people seeking asylum that's on you.

If the debate wasn't so toxic due to our National populist leader Fagash, the terrible leader of the conservatives Bad-enoch and our frothing print media.

They could indeed reduce the boats by opening routes and taking people from the countries that come here via irregular routes.

This doesn't surprise me, it's also why Fagash has dumped his life long Thatcherism.

People can see that it's austerity and under investment that's brought most of these ills on.

Take a school near here, the cost of re-doing it up is 3million the council don't have a spare 3mil so they erected a scaffolding and made it safe that cost 500k. So now the total cost will be over 3.5 million it's economic illiteracy.

Everything that cost (insert number) in 2010 still costs that much. Only now we have to spend more to get it back to 2010 standards let alone get it up to 2025 standards.

It's nonsensical

But it's easier to blame migrants than actually admit privatisation, austerity and Brexit has fucked this country

Frankly when the country is hemorrhaging 70% of all profits to foreign corporation or offshore funds who gives a fig about the hotel racket for illegals set up under the Torry govt?

Labour has returned more failed applicants in its short time in office than the Tories did in 14 years. It has also taken the break off and allowed the civil service to process applicants which tories had deliberately frustrated to exacerbate a non issue and place it from ant center.

I don't care if it's 100, 1000 or 10,000 a day!

Where the rent control?

Where is the prevention of corporate manipulation of domestic housing market?

Where is the root and branch evisceration of the corrupt military supply chain before they dump a couple of billion in the feeding trough?

Where is the clear out of "for profit" parasites in the NHS and the senior managers that allowed it to happen ?

Where is the taxation of corporates and investigation of those who deliberately misleading Parliament on Brexit?

Where is the attempt to expose graft in the banking and finance centres that ensured Brexit happened and allowed UK to become synonymous with money laundering?

If your going to criticise the incumbent puppets at Westminster, at least lambast them for some issues of relevance to a collapsing state that has half the population aware of where their local food bank is!

Try actually reading what migrants pay towards the NHS.

Once asylum seekers are granted asylum they contribute to society the same as anyone else.

Their only housed in hotels because the last government ran the asylum process into the ground.

Migrants actually cost less to the state.

We don't pay for the mother while pregnant, we don't pay for their education or any accidents they have as children.

They come here work pay taxes and NHS surcharge.

Most also leave before they become a burden on the state I'm their dotage.

We also had returns policy, if an asylum seeker had been rejected asylum in an EU country and then they came to the UK we could return them to that country. Lord Frosty and El Spaffo decided not to negotiate that.

"In the last general election campaign furhrer Starmer promised to stop illegals coming across the channel

Yesterday 31st May 2025 1000 came here

Well done Starmer

.

French and UK border patrol vessels have been overwhelmed by a record surge in small boat migrants, as well over 1,000 crossed the English Channel on Saturday

.

Channel crossings daily record smashed as more than 1,000 migrants arrive today"

Almost 37,000 people crossed the Channel in small boats in 2024 but the highest figures were for 2022, when 45,755 people arrived.

The highest daily total of arrivals since data began in 2018 was 1,305, which was recorded on 3 September, 2022.

These facts, (Thanks BBC News) prove that the daily record has NOT been ‘smashed’. It’s the highest daily number in 2025.

Where can I find the source of where Starmer says that? I thought Labour’s slogan was ‘smash the gangs’ which sounded more aggressive than Sunaks’ ‘stop the boats’ slogan. Well done Sunak.

I live in Cardiff where the white population is 70% and the area I live would be even less, you'd loose your mind!

My mother, grandfather and all his ancestors have lived in and around the docks.

Being part of a multi cultured society isn't new to us.

I have a mosque a few doors down and love Fridays when the streets are full and I can here the singing.

I had a Sunday roast down the local with a woman wearing a hijab. She had an elderflower soft drink and the nut roast. I had a pint and beef!

It's beautiful

Isn't the point of voting finding the party that speaks mostly for you?

You'll never agree with any party 100% the same as you'll never agree with people all of the time.

If the Greens or reform or lib dems or independent speaks mostly for you vote for them.

I'm not saying their isn't a problem I think Johnson and Brexit has shown their is.

However, a large part of the problem is us!! We want everything explained to us as if we were 5.

When we forget that we have to interpret what they say, the words they use, because they done only talk to us, they talk to the markets, the international community, their backbenchers.

So we have to be better at reading between the lines

"This doesn't surprise me, it's also why Fagash has dumped his life long Thatcherism.

People can see that it's austerity and under investment that's brought most of these ills on.

Take a school near here, the cost of re-doing it up is 3million the council don't have a spare 3mil so they erected a scaffolding and made it safe that cost 500k. So now the total cost will be over 3.5 million it's economic illiteracy.

Everything that cost (insert number) in 2010 still costs that much. Only now we have to spend more to get it back to 2010 standards let alone get it up to 2025 standards.

It's nonsensical

But it's easier to blame migrants than actually admit privatisation, austerity and Brexit has fucked this country

Surely a school near you come under the jurisdiction of that incompetent cabal in that ugly building in Cardiff Bay. Wonder who has been running that show for the last 26 years?

You seem to imply that Wales finds itself?

Did austerity not hit Wales too? Wales and it's councils have been starved of funding via austerity.

Who implemented austerity? "

The Welsh government does not spent its money very wisely. Does stupid things like buy up property for roads that never get built or Welsh medium schools in English speaking areas. Or the latest plan to introduce 36 more AMs when they might have been better off bringing in another 36 doctors or NHS dentists.

They come via France not from France

Yeah because France won't give them benefits while this stupid government will

Look on ‘fullfact.org’ to undertand that they do NOT get benefits in the UK.

And pigs fly ffs how gullible are you

Perhaps I am gullible, perhaps the governments’ own website is also inaccurate. On the plus side, I can spell correctly, have reasonably good grammar and know the difference between ‘their’ and ‘they’re’. "

Yes, nothing to do with austerity, sacking of police, under paying and reducing all public services including doctors and nurses.

Your answer is only for the hard of thinking.

I'm not sure why people get hung up on legality.

There is a different breakdown.

Planned Vs unplanned migration.

I would argue that unplanned is bad because we can not allocate resources properly for it.

There are London councils suggesting that they will take legal action because they can not cope with the influx of people.

Planned migration is actually useful. If we need people with a particular skill we can go and attract them.

"

Did austerity not hit Wales too? Wales and it's councils have been starved of funding via austerity.

Who implemented austerity?

The Welsh government does not spent its money very wisely. Does stupid things like buy up property for roads that never get built or Welsh medium schools in English speaking areas. Or the latest plan to introduce 36 more AMs when they might have been better off bringing in another 36 doctors or NHS dentists.

That's your opinion.

Thanks for answering my question though.

Who was responsible for austerity?"

I think we all know that austerity was introduced by the coalition government in 2010 to try and put right the shortcomings of the previous 13 years misrule by Belligerent Blair and Boom 'n Bust Brown. Doesn't alter the fact that the Labour Welsh government have never handled the money, appropriated to them, very well.

"Use of the word 'illegal' only adds to the disingenuity and agenda driven falsehoods.

There is nothing illegal about seeking asylum. This is consistently ignored by many who discuss the channel crossings.

Its classed as illegal when you

come over the channel not through propper channels of immigration .

And when your in a safe country ,why would you risk your life to get here .

These migrants should be physically pushed back. I dont care who is inconvenienced or what people think. Its a really serious situation and paying for that lot could affect could affect when the indigenous population get their state pension handout. Rumumored they are now looking 70.

Incorrect, the refugee convention recognises that people fleeing a country may not the means to enter through regular routes and therefore offers protection to people that enter irregularly.

You only have to read the refugee convention of 1951

I’m assuming it would take a minimum of 1 person to physically push another back. As soon as the pusher stops, the ‘pushee’ will run off and try again, so the pusher would have to follow them. I wonder how much it would cost to employ all these push-people?

On a historical note, there are very very few ‘indiginous’ people England thanks to the French and 1066, the Angles, the Saxons, the Jutes, the Vikings, the Romans, blah blah blah. I’d like to see proof someone was descended from the Iceni or Brigantes, for example. Didn’t a guy in Germany try that idea out in the 1930’s?

Neither is this.

Parliament ratified the Refugee Convention, which grants anyone the right to set foot on UK soil for the purpose of seeking asylum.

If these people were breaking the law, don't you think they would be arrested?

The reason they aren't arrested is because they aren't breaking any law.

The law requires them to present themselves to the authorities as soon as possible upon arriving on UK soil.

Bottom line being every one of these boat people have the right to seek asylum in the United Kingdom,but it's through investigation and the application of the legislature if they will be granted it or not. Hence the processing centres. Mx

Socialist are good at spending other peoples money and it will end in tears financially as most Labour governments have.

Show me the last time anyone entering this country to seek asylum was arrested or detained for entering the country illegally.

You might want to believe it is illegal. The reality is that it's not.

Yesterday 31st May 2025 1000 came here

Well done Starmer "

On 31st May, 2025, it was actually around 1,195 migrants who arrived in the UK via small boats.

These numbers are based on provisional UK and French operational data and are subject to change.

The data includes individuals detected on arrival in the UK or intercepted by UK authorities in the Channel and brought ashore.

Last govt took us out of Europe, and out of agreement that allowed us to return them to first country of origin.

Apparently saving 350 million a week in the process.

I feel some people seem to like being lied to when they are told "it's the immigrants are the problem!"

Rather than , for example graft in government contracts and deliberately allowing corporate sponsors asset strip a dieing empire?

We didn't need to pay anyone when we had a "returns agreement" with other European countries.

Our government decided it could manage this issue alone, and tore it up.

As soon as they did, the numbers soared.

Dumb Tories.
