  1. I can’t wait for some bleeding hearts to somehow thwart the deportation or a charity to launch a last minute high court appeal process and get an injunction.

  2. The first tranche of migrants [to be deported to France under a new “one in, one out” deal](https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/macron-reignites-brexit-row-blaming-small-boats-crisis-on-split-with-eu-3799824?ico=in-line_link) will be detained within days.

    A scheme will see people being rounded up for removal in the coming week under a France-UK deal to bring down [soaring numbers of small boat crossings in the Channel.](https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/take-your-illegal-migrants-back-uk-visas-3754862?ico=in-line_link)

    The initial pilot – now signed off by [Home Secretary Yvette Cooper](https://inews.co.uk/opinion/yvette-cooper-police-undermining-justice-system-3751921?ico=in-line_link), her French counterpart Bruno Retailleau, and the EU Commission – will be reviewed and expanded over the coming year.

    Anyone who [enters the UK on a small boat](https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/afghan-data-breach-asylum-seekers-small-boats-3809851?ico=in-line_link) faces being held at Manston processing centre and removed to France if their asylum claim is deemed invalid.

    But the pilot will begin with relatively small numbers of returns, raising questions over how effective the policy will be in stopping small boat crossings.

    It is expected to initially see just 50 people a week sent to France – in contrast to the weekly average of more than 800 people arriving on UK shores this year.

    Under the scheme, which will run until June 2026, the UK Government will allow the safe passage of one asylum seeker from France for every person that is detained and deported.

    This will mean an equal number of migrants to the number of those deported will be eligible to come to the UK so long as they have not attempted an illegal crossing before.

    Those selected to come to Britain will be subject to security and eligibility checks. Anyone who has tried to make the crossing will be banned from coming under the scheme, but the Government will set out further details of the eligibility criteria on Tuesday.

  4. Perspective:

    Boat arrivals are currently at 50,000/year.

    An average 75% will eventually be assessed as genuine refugees and granted asylum.

    The remainder (approx 12,500) will be deported within existing deportation programmes which see a total of 75,000 ‘illegals’ leave per year, alongside 5,000 foreign criminals.

    Yet certain people still panic, as Farage and co so badly need.

  5. We are simply sending illegal immigrants (that we have a right to deport) to france only to take them back with an entitlement to stay.

  7. This is going to become the new “two weeks to flatten the curve” isn’t it

    Don’t need to catch them, there’s enough already here. Start sending them back?

  9. If you put a cup of coffee under a trickling tap, you’ll eventually be left with no coffee. It will turn lighter and lighter until it is just water.

    With England being watered down by migration, it will lose its identity completely. It will just become one big mix of differing languages and segregated communities that are at odds with each other. Religious friction in every town and city.

    And as Englishmen and women, we are expected to like it or lose your job/go to prison. Someone turned the tap on, deciding to alter what this country was, and we must be ok with that, else we are defined as bigoted racists.

    No one seems to see that these migrants are not being saved from persecution. But merely allowed to stream in unchecked in order to find illegal work and a dodgy HMO as part of a retitled slave trade. Even legal migration. Picking the best of the third world countries to come and work over here, leaving their homeland that much worse off.

    No boats are turning around. Not under this government. Nor the last. Let’s see if Reform are full of shit too.

  11. Weird how little traction posts about action being taken get.

  13. Approx. 900 per week, minus “up to” 50 per week. Plus “one-in” from France. They’re not going to be in sleeping bags on the benches of Parliament, so I’m guessing it’ll be more luxury.

    If tents are good enough for France, why not big heated army-tents on an island off the Scottish mainland. Their goal is the magic soil of the mainland, because they know there is little appetite on both sides of the house for real, meaningful change.

    There’s very little chance of them being returned, it’s advertised on social media how easy it is, and what to say to the never ending queue of “human-rights” lawyers who have now graduated from ambulance-chasing and found a new wave to ride.

  15. You’ve either got to be daft or a leftie to believe this nonsense.

  17. This will just expedite Reform’s entry into No.10
