Just to add more context, this is currently the most popular open petition.
This is very disturbing.
I hate this racist terf island
The billionaires continue to burn our planet down and hog all wealth. Normal people are becoming more scared. And it’s much easier to follow the billionaire-owned media and hate your fellow man instead of Luiging those fucking parasites. Sad, but it’s very hard to be welcoming when you fear for yourself and your family.
britions really are a special kind of fascist
I’d have to guess it’s to disincentives illegal immigrants coming into the country.
I get the optics of it to be honest. We’re constantly being told there’s not enough money for essential services, there’s housing shortages and so on, but then people can come here and get housed, receive money etc. It’s probably also a tough pill to swallow when they’re coming from safe countries.
This is absolutely what’s driving the popularity of Reform, and will continue to do so.
I’m all for this if migrents can get there claim assessed properly and they can then get a working visa. Many whant a job and the ability to chose where they live. Hotels are good for a holiday not forever. But until the immigration office pulls its finger out they are stuck.

Because people are coming over in boats from france and seeking asylum and are draining the system. That’s why. To them, they basically see a massive sign saying “free handouts, come on over” and useful idiots are falling for their rouse left, right and centre.
I still think asylum seekers should be given benefits and support… Just not the ones coming from safe countries like France or Ireland.
this is stupid. give immigrants a billion pounds instead. then, they’ll stop being immigrants and instantly become expats, and anyway, billionaires are good for the economy and society. they’re job creators.
If you don’t understand why, you should talk to your fellow country men. I’m not even British and I get it.
