"Braverman has been sacked. How long do we think before the lunatic right tories lean on Sunak and he's forced to re-employ her in a different role? I'm guessing that after Home Secretary she won't settle for anything less than Chancellor. Or will she just go straight for Rishi out, Braverman as PM?" I doubt there will be any more shuffles before the election. I expect it in May following a budget which they hope will be a vote winner | |||

More thinking the ones that support Patel, Braverman, Farage, Lee Anderson etc. The ones that are chasing ever more extreme policies, without realising that they have already gone past the vast majority of their traditional supporter base. The ones that are so far right wing that they make Margaret Thatcher look like a communist. Also: Can I take it then that if I do a search of forum posts, I will never find a single instance of you using less than favourable adjectives about left wing politicians and supporters? | |||

" Farages ukip manifesto UKIP recognises the benefits of limited, controlled immigration. • UKIP will leave the EU, and take back control of our borders. Work per- mits will be permitted to fill skills gaps in the UK jobs market. • We will introduce an Australian-style points system to control immigra- tion. This system will treat all migrants equally, wherever they come from in the world. • Time-limited work permits will be granted to fill skills gaps in the UK jobs market. • Migrants must have approved health insurance. They will only be eligi- ble for benefits, or able to apply for permanent residence, after they have paid tax and National Insurance for five years. • UKIP will reinstate the primary purpose rule for bringing foreign spous- es and children to the UK. • UKIP will not offer an amnesty for illegal immigrants or those gaining British passports through fraud. • UKIP will return to the principles of the UN Convention of Refugees which serves to protect the most vulnerable. • UKIP will regularly review the immigration impact on Northern Ireland communities relevant to numbers, school places, health appointments, benefits and crime. UKIP recognises and values a unifying British culture, which is open and inclusive to anyone who wishes to identify with Britain and British values, regardless of their ethnic or religious background. • UKIP will ensure that the law is rigorously enforced in relation to ‘cultur- al’ practices which are illegal in Britain, such as forced marriages, FGM and so-called ‘honour killings’. • We will review the BBC Licence Fee with a view to its reduction. Prose- cution of non-payments of the Licence Fee would be taken out of the crimi- nal sphere and made a civil offence. • UKIP will amend the smoking ban to give pubs and clubs the choice to open smoking rooms properly ventilated and separated from non-smoking areas. Workers will not be required to enter when these areas are in use. • UKIP opposes the prevention of local legal expressions of cultural identi- ty by the Parades Commission. UKIP will repeal the Climate Change Act 2008 which costs the economy £18bn a year. • UKIP supports a diverse energy market including coal, nuclear, shale gas, geo-thermal, tidal, solar, conventional gas and oil. • We will scrap the Large Combustion Plant Directive and encourage the re-development of British power stations, as well as industrial units provid- ing on-site power generation. • UKIP supports the development of shale gas with proper safeguards for the local environment. Community Improvement Levy money from the de- velopment of shale gas fields will be earmarked for lower council taxes or community projects within the local authority being developed. • There will be no new subsidies for wind farms and solar arrays. • UKIP will abolish green taxes and charges in order to reduce fuel bills. I think quite a lot of these policies would be considered further right than a lot of what braverman has backed I parliament votes or spoken about. | |||

"Then again. So many have called nigel far right in these threads over the last 6 months. Are we now backtracking on this and calling a female Indian for right in the uk." This feels like an opportunity to learn something about how non-racists work. We can judge a person on their actions and the things they say, not on their ethnicity, gender or country of origin.  | |||

"Braverman is right wing. Farage is right wing. Not sure where the delineation point is to define Far Right but they are certainly further right than traditional Tories." Yep, Farage is not extreme far right, he provokes but is the right of centre. He rattles people and that is why he has been successful. | |||

Is she right about the party needing to move further to the right. Ramp up the anti-immigrant rhetoric more. In order to win the next election?"I think all that matters is power. To be in Govt. The ideology of the party that currently calls itself The Conservatives have been all over the shop since Johnson. I think they have lost any true identity in the pursuit of popularism. Sunak is a busted flush. Shame actually as regardless of your/our/my politics, I at least welcomed what I thought was going to be the return of grown ups after the kindergarten years of Johnson/Truss (well Kindergarten month in her case). | |||

I think she is right to call out the fact that the Tory party promised to stop people from entering the country illegally and she has not been supported in making that a reality by a prime minister who pledged to do that very thing.
I find that a strange move from her.
Obviously the Tories, right or further right don't want the boat crossings to stop. If they did, they would lose a large part of both their vote winning rhetoric, and their main distraction tactic.
People entering the country illegally play a vital role in keeping the Tories in power.
What I find strange is the people who do not want law and order when it suits them.
These forums have been awash with anger at the suggestion that people who decide to live in tents and offered help to move into a more stable lifestyle is verging on Nazi regimes of past.
I'm not sure if you're being ironic to demonstrate the kind of thing we're talking about, or if you're being serious.
Homelessness is not a lifestyle choice.
Anger at the lack of funding for homeless people being left without shelter, but ignoring those who are offered shelter as that’s their right.
Ignoring the evident rise in antisemitic hate crime in the country, but bang the drum for freedoms and still somehow manage to wind into the narrative nazis…. Blows my mind, and yet here we are spending billions on people who enter the country illegally, spending millions on protecting people from each other via police overtime through mindless social media driven protests hellbent on division, and still it is all the fault of the government who needs this to keep us controlled…
It seems you are being controlled by the actions those you support in favour of those who have been elected to support us, because you don’t agree with the colour of their tie.
Not sure what the rest of this angry rant is about. Are you suggesting that the Tories do want to stop illegal immigration but can't be arsed ?
Why is that more plausible than the more obvious conclusion that it's much more useful for them to keep using immigration as a tool?
My point is, it others use immigration as a tool as much as the government.
You can’t see it from your side of the fence
Of course they do.
My side of the fence is the, 'don't get distracted by the anti-immigrant rhetoric.'

"Homelessness is not a lifestyle choice. " Yes. I was amazed when I heard that Braveman remark. I thought, John Bird out of The Big Issue magazine is not going to be very impressed. It seems that every issue of The Big Issue someone says, "I never thought that homelessness would happen to me". Oh, and look at Harriet Sergeant's book Among The Hoods. Can you imagine not being able to read? Not being able to read is a big predictor of all kinds of problems. Harriet Sergeant, a journalist, made an unlikely friendship with a teenage gang. She saw the bedroom of one of the boys who had a pile of letters about council tax, or something like that, in a carrier bag that he hadn't read because he couldn't read. The letters said something like, a debt to do with housing is about to be reclassified as yours unless you reply to this letter. Sergeant wrote, "My head swam. How on earth was he going to get out of this debt?" From job centres and the care system to prison and failing schools: it's stories like that that lead to homelessness and the Government is firmly involved? | |||

"stop people from entering the country illegally" But there's no way to apply for asylum in the UK outside of the UK, if I understand it correctly. You have to get to the UK somehow. If you did it by hiding on a container ship without paying, for instance, then what? If you can prove that you had to because your life was in danger, then there was no crime and it wasn't unlawful and a path to citizenship is open to you. It has to be this way because otherwise there would be no path to citizenship. Also it has to be this way because of the conventions that the UK is signed up to and even helped to write in the first place, I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong? Tomorrow, Wednesday the 15th, we'll hear a bit more about this from the court judgement. The other day I was in someone's house who had a book about human rights. The author of the book called for people to be allowed to apply for asylum somewhere outside of the UK so that they don't have to attempt dangerous journeys. He hasn't been given his wish, is that correct? | |||

If you can prove that you had to because your life was in danger, then there was no crime and it wasn't unlawful and a path to citizenship is open to you." That's incorrect. If you enter the country without permission, you have committed a crime. If you are subsequently granted asylum, then you can't be prosecuted for that crime, but the act was still unlawful. "The other day I was in someone's house who had a book about human rights. The author of the book called for people to be allowed to apply for asylum somewhere outside of the UK so that they don't have to attempt dangerous journeys. He hasn't been given his wish, is that correct?" No one *has* to attempt the dangerous journey. They could just apply in a European country, and avoid the dangerous channel crossing. They choose to take the risk because they want to be in the UK, not because their lives are at risk in France or Belgium. | |||

People just decide to leave their houses, inject crack into their eyeballs and move into tent villages purely to annoy residents of posh places.

Anyone who says that maybe the government and the police shouldn't further demonise the most vulnerable people in society are basically erecting the tents themselves. | |||

"Are you condoning an unchallenged choice to allow the building of tent villages" Well it's just that punitive measures against charities is a little bit legally problematic. Also there is quite a lot of privatisation of public space. The Space Hijackers comedic-anarchic group drew attention to this with their stunt at More London near Tower Bridge. They pretended to be security guards until the real security guards turned up. "No busking. No skating. No protesting. No cycling. Have a nice day!" | |||

"They could just apply in a European country, and avoid the dangerous channel crossing." But what if you don't have any relatives in France, but you do in England? And what if you don't know any French, but you do know some English? Those are two reasons for making the effort, and spending thousands of euros, to attempt a crossing to the UK. When I was at school, the head boy came from a British-Iranian family. He was unusual because his family didn't have a television. After all that colonising, and looting, the British have spread their language across the world. The British have been involved in lots of places, like around Syria (the north to France, the south to Britain, the Sykes-Picot line, the broken promises after WW1 that ignored the tribal boundaries and was the reason why Lawrence of Arabia was so upset and went to Clouds Hill in Dorset). In Germany last week, my host family told me that they have needed a doctor and they have found someone in Germany who is good, he's originally from Syria and his German language isn't as fluent as it could be. Why does Germany not have so many people in the rest of the world who know German? Perhaps part of the reason is because after WW1 Germany lost its colonies, like Cameroon. | |||

If someone is going to apply for asylum, those reasons are not sufficient. To be granted asylum they have to be fleeing from a dangerous situation. You really are very good at taking people's quotes out of context, and answering the bits you want to. I've reinstated the rest of my quote above. | |||
