The British people just paid £5.4 billion last year to manage our broken & failing asylum system Let’s do some number crunching shall we? We took winter fuel payments off our British pensioners to save £1.5 billion That’s 27% of the asylum budget Our local councils just cut frontline services to save £564 million on adult social care overspend. No more Wheels on Meals for Nan, then, and no more libraries That’s 10% of the asylum budget We just smashed family farms up & down these islands to raise £520 million when Mum and Dad die That’s not even 10% of the asylum budget Sorry you have to sell your farm and home that’s been in your family and community for generations We have to put Vietnamese illegal migrants in hotels and give them cash cards and phones Worried about crime? We just penciled in £450 million in budget cuts for the Metropolitan police That’s 8% of the asylum budget Sorry we can’t solve burglaries or stop the de facto legalisation of shoplifting and gang violence We have to give illegal migrants from Iraq, some of whom have gone on deal cocaine and heroin, free healthcare on the NHS Worried about Russia, China, and our enemies? We just handed the Ministry of Defence cuts of £500 million That’s 9% of the asylum budget Sorry we can’t keep Britain safe. We have to pay for illegal migrants from Afghanistan, some of whom have gone on to murder young Brits like Thomas Roberts (google him) Worried about our schools? We have a £1.5 billion black hole in the education budget That’s 27% of the asylum budget I could go on. The point is that all these examples reflect specific political choices And the political choice of both Labour and the Tories for much of the last decade, if not longer, has been to prioritise anybody and everybody except the hardworking, tax paying British people Illegal migration is making us poorer, costing us billions and pushing us into managed decline Look around We are being pushed into Immigration Austerity The fact that Labour, the so-called “party of the working-class”, can’t even bring itself to do what needs to be done to fix this scandal (leave the ECHR, reform the HRA, and have a deterrent) speaks volumes You are not their priority In the end, the people who will suffer will once again be you, the British people, and your children You deserve more than this. Great Britain deserves more than this.
