“They Can Survive Dinghy Crossings So Why Can’t They Pick Fruit?” | Migrants Given Chance To Stay

Of the 90,000 migrants told they could be deported, around 60,000 are now expected to have their claims approved.
Some migrants took their cases to the High Court and were told yesterday that their claims will be processed within a week as a priority.
Former PM Rishi Sunak's policies blocked illegal arrivals from getting refugee status, causing a huge backlog of cases over the past 18 months, with no deportation flights to Rwanda.
Sir Keir Starmer, who has ended the Rwanda scheme, announced that processing will start on the estimated 90,000 claims.
Alex Phillips speaks with political commentator Matthew Torbitt.

Alex for Prime Minister. Me for Chancellor.. We will sort this country out. Every boat dragged back to France. Every plane from Pakistan refused landing rights. Every unemployed immigrant has every benefit removed and replaced with a single ticket to their home country (and one for each family member) All their passports stamped "Prohibitted Immigrant"

Of course they can pick fruit. I was helping my parents, brothers and sister in the 50's. We would never have survived without that money, My parents were too proud to ask for welfare.

I would suggest that the British people not worry too much, because seeing the way things are going there, very soon they will be able to flee the persecution of life there, and apply for political asylum somewhere nicer and warmer! 🤗

The thing that gets me is, they go through ALL of Europe, a safe place to refuge, but still continue across the channel to the UK. We are too soft

Any jobs going should be given to Brits

I have been retired for 6 years. What I witness every day is vast numbers of foreigners not working, scrounging, every day in town, in parks everywhere out of work scrounges.
