It’s easy to see why we are a bankrupt country when financial scandals like this one are unearthed on a practically daily basis..

We are a soft touch and have been for as long as I can remember.. remember even our own politicians are helping themselves to the country’s coffers

What this actually means is that Sunak and the Conservatives are once again clamping down on what can qualify as legal aid for those that can't afford it. They have already hammered it so that poor people can't be represented properly, now they are attempting to squeeze it again. If you are part of the rich elite, you can still bring anything to court that you feel like

Yes Great Points.

Sunak's Suit does not fit him

As PM
he could dress far better than that

"There are still shockwaves from seismic events," says a former cabinet minister - "that's what we're living through now." Boris Johnson might not have stitched prawns into the hems of his expensive curtains in No 10, but as we've seen over the past couple of days, the leftovers from his time in office can still cause a nasty stink.

:laugh:

He's taking a big gamble here.
It's not illegal to apply for asylum.
So to dismiss genuine claims in haphazard hurried fashion as this policy may contain.
Is a dangerous gamble.

Of course the illigal crossings need to be stopped but where is HIS International support for these measures.
Where is he going to send possibly multi thousands of people who will inevitably number many who have genuine claims for asylum.
Pleasing the loudest less tolerable noises In a Country and/or Party.
Doesn't usually end in likely long term success.

Of course he is right to set out to deal with the illegal crossings but that shouldn't be at the coast of compassion and human rights justice.
That's what really good government should be about.
This is a policy really that should be done with universal approval of all Parties in parliament.
Dealing with people's lives are too important to only set out to please more aggressive views.

the route being taken to get into the country is illegal though Joey. I live in Kent, i've seen whats happened here over the last couple of years with all the illegal immigrants. Something has to be done to stop it

I totally agree.
However while the crossing is illegal absolutely.
A genuine claim for asylum is not.

To say someone cannot ever in their lifetime claim asylum because of the criminal gangs exploiting people in these crossings.
That's where I part company (cautiously) with this policy.
Because I can support Sunak's efforts to do much more on this.

Certainly to stop the criminals organising these crossings.
I accept that's a big ask.
However you are more knowledgeable as you see this on your doorstep so to speak.
So I take your points on board too.
