‘Send Them Back’: 45% of Brits Back Mass Deportations and Zero New Migrants, Bombshell Poll Reveals

28 comments

1. Seems that every day we get a news story of a recent arrival committing some awful crime (and often getting a too lenient sentence)

   Can’t blame people for wanting things to reverse.

2. UK government: OK, we’ll let more in, especially the illegals one, prioritize them over you

3. Unfortunately, the average Briton has a right to be angry as:

   – Trains are amongst the most expensive in Europe
   – student costs in England are the highest in the world
   – electricity costs are among the highest in the world.
   – it is hard to get a job
   – housing costs are brutal, like in many other western countries

   The reality is that hardly any of this is influenced by immigration. Even the things made worse by immigration are not the fault of individual immigrants.

   The other problem is that your average Briton is quite badly misinformed. As reported this week, Briton’s think that illegal immigration’s the most common and is in the millions of people.

   Partly the misinformation is fuelled by things like tik tok, which, if you go down this rabbit hole you will find constant videos of asylum seekers refusing to speak English, burning money etc. This is all designed to “foment unrest” like we’re in a real life game of Civilisation 6.

4. Nothing about this is a bombshell if you’ve ever met the average English person.

5. When there’s talk of our taxes going up in a country where we have a ‘cost of living crisis’ spending billions on unskilled immigrants just seems a massive slap in the face to all hard working tax payers..

6. You’d have to be nuts to want anything else. Haven’t we taken enough?

7. This is a logical outcome of recent events, not so much of a shock I’d say

8. Just 45%?

9. “The public want a new Brexit referendum!! Give the public what they want!!!” – left libs

   “The public want to lower immigration. Populism is an awful scourge we must fight against! Mob rule is dangerous!!!” – also left libs

11. So. Erm. 55% don’t? Why are you reporting on a minority figure

12. Polls are irrelevant. You can create one that says anything, this is a great example of that

    Anybody who actually believes the country would be better off with zero new migrants is stupid. There is no amount of “ahh well they’re frustrated because….” that justifies that level of stupidity

    If you’re that soft, emotional and sensitive that you’re suggesting cutting off your arm to no longer have a broken hand then you need an internet break. Go see a therapist and touch grass

13. More than 45% . Who is against are the immigrants already there.

14. The rhetoric in the UK is the same as the US at the there moment. With climate change forcing people to leave large parts of the world, immigration is going to become the forefront of most political parties.

    The walls are starting to go up.

    Having said that I also agree that illegal immigration needs to be tackled strongly

15. I refer everyone to the classic scene from yes minister https://youtu.be/6GSKwf4AIlI?si=wVl-P-bOHDuCferi 

16. As a gainfully employed and legal immigrant I am incredibly nervous that I’m going to be grouped with people abusing the system. My biggest fear is the goal post moving for citizenship and not being able to join the reserves…or you know getting booted out for wanting to live with my wife here.

17. The more the government tries to suppress and downplay the issue, the bigger the issue it becomes. At some point people will lose their shit and the govt will make a Pikachu face

18. If you took this poll outside a Greggs in Burnley you’d probably 100% wanting to see them sent back.

19. 45% only, your asking the wrong group if theirs your result.

20. Only 45 percent?

21. Can we send you back all brits who migrated worldwide.

    Seems one or two génocide happens

22. Stupid Brits listening to the Murdoch press. Trump would get a lot of votes in England if he could run. Sad.

23. I cannot fathom why Labour won’t just be honest about the options.

    We *can* handle claimants, and we can do it offshore on an island owned by the UK, somewhere like Orkney, but we need to do the following:

    * Fund it. It’ll cost AT LEAST 10-20x what we currently spend on immigration, but it’s what the people want, so we need to spend.
    * Obviously, remove any red tape and NIMBYism to build the infrastructure we need. Set temporary storage for now, but an independent body would need to be set up to ensure that everything is safe. If it isn’t, shut it down.
    * Set up an independent police force for the processing centre, alongside dedicated medical staff. Similarly, access will be locked down, so there will need to be dedicated access to and from for workers.
    * To fund it, the triple lock must go, with funds directed to ensuring that immigration is fully managed. Similarly, the winter fuel allowance will be reduced to those earning below minimum wage after retirement.
    * France and neighbouring countries will fund sending migrants to processing, with any boats crossing afterwards sent back to France to handle. Anyone with a claim that is denied will be sent back to France, or back to their country of origin.

    People will either change their tune really fucking quickly, or they’ll accept that controlling the borders around an island costs a lot of money.

24. What percentage of the people polled are Scottish, English, Welsh or Northern Irish by heritage?

25. This has the biggest load of bullshit, elitist nonsense I have ever read. You haven’t addressed a single thing I said, you’ve just essentially doubled down on “people are ignorant and stupid”. These movements don’t just appear, they happen over time because of the failings of the ruling class. It’s not like farage had any success for decades getting into parliament either, he’s got in because the same arrogant attitudes of the elite persist. You really need to leave that echo chamber once in a while.

26. The other post said 50%

27. We like it to it happens then the consequences bit us in the ass.

    NHS is made up of 20% migrants can’t wait for wait times to go up.

28. The current government had better do something, or we will end up going down the same route as across the pond, with people so fed up they will throw weight behind the right-wing parties and we know how that’s working out over there!
