Another MP who pulled a figure out of thin air, no surprise.
However realistically no reliable figures really exist. Not many people are really testing to see if an asylum seeker who claims to be 17 is actually 19, only the really bizarre cases where there’s a balding 40 year old in a classroom might result in a test.
Doesn’t surprise me. Lies about immigration is how our government drums up support for their horrid practices
If we had proper routes and had kept our overseas teams that investigated claims locally this wouldn’t even happen.
But austerity..the end of common sense in all departments.
Jenrick : “At times, up to 20% of the adult males who arrive at Western Jet Foil claim to be under 18, when clearly the number is substantially less than that.”
A lot of ‘if you look at this cherry picked data’ energy about that statement
He knows his statement is misleading, but he also knows his base will parrot the statement as representing all asylum seekers, so he doesn’t care
Separately, will miss using reddit.
Massive respect to the mods, they are the ones who stopped reddit becoming a sewer like Facebook or Twitter.
Take care all!
Now this is the thing….. who says Jenrick was lying or that he was wrong. Listen to what he actually said…… “at times upto a fifth”…. “at times”. Who says he hadn’t based his comments on a time when upto a fifth were pretending to be children.
It’s almost like the left are happy with this and are celebrating it because it turns out that “only” 1% lied
Honest bob jenrick is one of the dodgiest mps ever seen. He’s just been hiding in plain sight as he looks like an honest mp should
