they could always try not pandering to nazis and xenophobies and actually stop with the rampant anti migrant and anti immigrant policies.....
This would only make the problem worse.
A big problem is the lack of common sense immigration policies. Looking at statistics and numbers as a bad thing and how to decently lower them instead of fighting the actual crime part. Like making it harder for people who actually want to work hard and integrate into our society live here, playing by the rules. Yet keeping illegal immigrants here who kept taking advantage of systems. Under the tories (as idiotic as there were) they at least made it seem like they were doing something with the Rwanda policy. However Starmer has dropped that and presented no real alternative, so I guess this is why people are seeming to want to take it into their own hands, committing despicable acts of violence.
By not addressing something that is a problem, it'll enrage them more.
I have problems with this because first of all, you don't differentiate between people seeking asylum and people immigrating here. The latter come here as students and workers and the former come here to escape persecution in their country. The idea that huge swathes of criminals are flooding into the country isn't true and has never been true. Do some people come to the UK and commit crimes? Yes. Do British born people commit crimes? Yes. Should either reflect on anyone but the individuals? No.
This is the streak of Labour that I hoped wouldn't return but here we are. I think they've been making noise about ID cards too.
This is disappointing. Criminals are already covering their faces. Making that illegal won't change that because they are criminals, so you just increase the laws they are breaking.
This is purely for mass surveillance. "Never waste a good crisis"
Has Tony Blair chimed in to suggest ID cards as well?
