While most of the British right are heading off on flights of fantasy about leaving the ECHR, and scribbling Great Restoration bills, there is very little realism in terms of how we get a grip on immigration.
You know what I would also look at: driving licences (including HGV) and vehicle insurance. There is no way all these men, especially the illegals, have passed driving tests individually. They doubtless share one licence and a google search says there are a million uninsured vehicles on our roads every year. More accidents (with all the attendant costs in policing, road repairs, emergency ambulances and healthcare) and higher insurance premiums for us.
I was thinking the same thing. How can they do a DBS check on new arrivals? They've approved Uhbe here in Worthing. How can they ensure passenger safety when most drivers are from the Indian subcontinent?
I completely agree with everything you write but the reforms necessary will only come when enough people demand them and currently there are still far too many people who are leaving the 'protesting', as has usaully been the case, to the opposition made up of the vocal minority of woke bleeding heart liberals who like nothing better than signalling their virtue and misguided compassion. These people are also supremely ignorant living in a one-dimensional world, with at one end students and the other celebs.
If the silent majority want change they need to get off their collective arses and start the fight back.
Well, I wish Lewis Brackpool the best in his endeavours to gather data. Especially since his attempts to get legitimate information from the Home Office, on which NGOs/charities have the ear of government (and presumably also taxpayer funding) re immigration costs, was chucked out because they didn't fancy giving him the info.
Black Belt Barrister covered it here if you are not already aware of this:
Great article but I wouldn’t hold your breath. As for employing the climate change and worry managers as Daz just said, what would be the point as they don’t even do those jobs that they supposedly love well? We really do need robust action and people of courage who are not workshy because everything that you spoke of is so obviously critical now.
Excellent article and some comments here on driving licences that are on the money too. Our police and local authorities are too busy prosecuting us to hit the real targets of Pakistani Muslims. I fear things have gone too far to put this right and hope to hell and back that we don’t end up in civil war.
There is a British establishment pathology that looks for complex solutions to simple problems. Much easier to create a raft of new laws than fix the ones you have.
Off topic - Met Police drop Linkahen charges and all NHCI ( in the future by the looks of things) - this has to be good news for Pete - yes, I am holding my breath!
It does rather seem like our betters truly haven't got one single decision right for an entire generation. Is this perhaps a consequence of abrogating their responsibilities to the big boys of the European Union all that time?

The situation in Canada is a cautionary tale in this regard.
you reckon we could re-deploy all the climate change officers and 'wokery managers' to these genuine compliance roles you've identified?
Worth a ponder, I'll keep an eye out on the public sector jobs vacancies where I live and maybe do a piece on that...

Perhaps given the great love that most Brits have for animals, the awful practice of Halal butchery could be another incontestable vector?

The state's falling apart, it seems. I reckon the future is sectarian and violent. But the British must stand up for themselves
Brilliant. Make life very uncomfortable for them, using existing laws. Enforce the laws as harshly as possible.

Where attempts have been made to 'get a grip on immigration', the justice system has been a block; so how should that be dealt with?
The extent of Sharia law courts, another element of the state within a state, isn't even known and is not something that you can make an FOI request about. https://x.com/NewCultureForum/status/1974772802201743792
Aye. Regulation in all the right areas. It does rather seem that Britain has been governed badly in every single way for over 30 years.
Saw this fantastic interview with Arthur Laffer, he of the eponymous curve.

The Conservatives have a residual wet problem.
Reform are too thick and vain to do anything about it.
And Homeland will put that into practice but only against Jews.
