@Disputatore@masto.pt @h4890@merovingian.club Not happening for sure. All the interviews I've seen with illegal immigrants, where they are willing to talk, say that they expect a better life here than their home or in the EU. That's why they come. Until that is changed it will continue.

@kibcol1049@mstdn.social @h4890@merovingian.club that's a good point. In the spirit of absurd proposals, a good way to dissuade illegal immigration would be massive campaigns in tiktok, X, and Instagram showing awful living conditions in the UK, maybe some Mad Max type scenarios. With the Aussie accent and all.

@kibcol1049@mstdn.social Um… why would we want to change that? I’m not a member of the “let’s make the UK so shit no one wants to come here” party. People willing to risk everything to come here says they see something great about this country. Jesus fucking Christ on a unicycle, that’s a compliment, people. Don’t turn that away. @Disputatore@masto.pt @h4890@merovingian.club

@kibcol1049@mstdn.social @Disputatore@masto.pt I think, if they knew that their boats will be sunk, and they will be shipped to rwanda for exit-processing, that the attraction to the UK will drop significantly. Sweden has seen a drop in immigration after tightening the immigration laws. I do not see a reason why this would not also hold in the UK?
