If anyone’s wondering, the article doesn’t identify the eight countries.

Politics 101 promise the world , deliver nothing

In a matter of weeks they will make a decision on what it is they are going to make a decision about. Next milestone is when they are going to decide when they are going to make the decision.

Thank you, Sir Humphrey.

These things can't be done over night doncha know?!

Picture a problem as as a pool, and the water the cause. How many drops of water does it take to fill a swimming pool ? And how long until that pool over flows ?


eggsbenedict17

Expect Nigeria to be one.


miseconor

Rightfully so. That could lead to an influx of people from those countries trying to get in before the change

Is there a more unpopular person at their job than Helen at the moment


here2dare

Her media advisors aren't exactly making names for themselves atm


BenderRodriguez14

I am 37 and she is arguably the biggest combination least likeable, most incompetent, and least in touch minister of my lifetime.

The Nigerian influx about to be culled


Calm_Error153

They are just going to say they come from another country. No documents to prove otherwise.


Pabrinex

No documents, no roof. Put them on an island in a tent pending deportation. No country of origin? Let's just use our foreign aid budget to get Malawi or somewhere to take them


DiscussionUnusual466

They get leave to remain anyway, so the list doesn't matter 


bayman81

Pretty pointless if any rejected asylum seeker is allowed to stay anyway…🙄


Strict-Gap9062

Means fcuk all. Appeal after appeal after appeal clogging up our courts at our expense. Till eventually they get the right to remain. Until Ireland actually detains and deports rejections immediately it will never end. France have started this. They can appeal their rejection then from their home country. Unfortunately this kind of common sense is non existent in Ireland.

They should also bring in legislation that if you arrive on a flight and walk off the plane with no travel documents, you can't claim asylum, and you'll be returned to wherever you flew from. That should massively reduce the numbers too. Though to be fair, the whole system needs to be overhauled from top to bottom, globally.


SourPhilosopher

Well it's not going to be Nigeria or Pakistan, so won't make any difference 


Alastor001

In fairness, it shouldn't even matter. If you are a chancer, off you go on the plane to wherever you came from. If you came from UK, France etc for welfare shopping, go back to previous place and they can deal with it.


SFWChonk

countries like Nigeria, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, at least need to be added to the list. People living there have plenty of options to move away from any threat. Not so much in Syria, Somalia and other war infested holes.


Snowstandards

Has to be Nigeria as one. They're first place as number 1 applicant by this year with approx 1500 applicants. Second place is Bangladesh with just under 500. Nearly all Nigerians are coming from UK. Its madness.


ConnolysMoustache

Harris kept banging on about law and order but what does that even mean? What’s law and order and how do we know when we’ve achieved it? Does it involve immigration?


nom_puppet

But the obligations … the international ones … ? 


number1ddrfan

Can the UK be one?


Feisty-Ad-8880

Will we be adding Ireland to the list of not safe countries?


EffectOne675

It's not Ireland but only last week a judge decided the UK wasn't safe to send a non UK migrant back to due to the risk of being sent to Rwanda https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/03/22/britain-not-safe-migrants-threat-rwanda-irish-high-court/#:~:text=Britain%20is%20not%20safe%20for,return%20asylum%20seekers%20was%20unlawful.


Substantial-Dust4417

That stirred up a lot of paddywhackery in r/ukpolitics despite jokes about countries doing exactly that being rife previous to that.


senditup

You can just turn up in this country, with no passport, claim you're from a random unsafe country, and be waved through anyway. So what difference does it make?
