The Conservatives Failed Immigration Policies

[Gromit]

For 12 years the Conservatives have pledged to get immigration down to the tens of thousands. The Home Secretary repeated that pledge at this years Conservative Party Conference. So it must be deeply embarrassing for the Government and its supporters to see todays ONS immigration figure of over 500,000 net immigration in 12 months.

They have repeatedly failed again and again. Even Brexit has proved to be a false hope.

// Net migration to the UK has reached a record level of 504,000.
Asylum applications are at their highest for 32 years.
The new net migration figure released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) is an increase of 331,000 in a single year and is at least 400,000 more than the home secretary, Suella Braverman, is aiming for. //

new judge has not been discussing the benefits system he has been discussing working-age people who are not in work... a slightly different subject...//

It's precisely the same subject. People who will not work are abusing the benefits system. The fund their lives by abusing the benefits system.

Folks can moan about the failure of government policies on this that or the other until the cows come up but it's totally pointless if they (and any alternative political party they may support) have no better answers.
