We feel let down by all politicians over immigration

THE British people were promised they’d take back control. But when it comes to the crunch issue of immigration, they might be forgiven for thinking their leaders have completely lost control.

We feel let down by all politicians over immigration

As the latest figures show, both legal and illegal immigration into Britain have soared to record numbers.

Last year, the number of immigrants entering Britain legally hit an eyewatering 1.2 million, while nearly 50,000 migrants entered the country illegally on small boats. Today, the British taxpayer is paying nearly £4billion a year to support our broken asylum system.

All this, understandably, has left millions of British people feeling utterly fed-up with an immigration system which is out of control.

Which is why, last week, Keir Starmer and the Labour Party turned their sights on the immigration issue, hoping to outflank the Tories at the looming election by outlining a new plan to tackle illegal migration.

And what do they want to do?

They want to scrap Rishi Sunak’s plan to deter illegal migrants by sending them to Rwanda.

They want to strike a new deal with the European Union whereby Britain would accept some of the rapidly rising numbers of migrants entering the EU while hoping the EU would take some back in return.

And they want to clamp down on the gangs helping migrants across the Channel.

While the plan might sound interesting it is, in fact, deeply flawed and will not come close to solving the problem.

'By 2500BC rows of shrubs were planted'

HEDGEROWS are a construct of man. You cannot rewild a hedge because they were never wild. Archaeology reveals that by 2500BC, Britain’s earliest farmers were planting rows of shrubby thorn plants, then cutting and laying them to form livestock retaining enclosures.

The Handmaid's Tale shows how strong humans can be...

A LOOK of defiant determination passes across the face of Elisabeth Moss. “It has shown me how strong humanity really is,” says the actress, slowly. “The different ways of fighting that these characters have shown, whether by small acts of rebellion or by June’s more forward-facing resistance, [demonstrate] these people are fighting for something that matters to them. There are so many ways they have shown how strong humans can be. It’s left me with a very hopeful feeling for all of us.”
