Their writers appear to be very young Turning Point UK types. I’ve only searched for a few of them, as life’s too short!, but none I’ve found seem to be writing for anywhere else. I only found one with a public profiles and he has a day job in Marks and Sparks: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ed It looks like Football League World for anti-Muslim, pro-white, studenty evangelical Tory types you find in the US. |
Indeed, it's not a remotely credible source but is being used to justify doubting the credibility of an article written by Hope Not Hate. I'd wager the individual doing so isn't really interested in weighing up the credibility of sources and is more concerned with finding reasons to discount stuff he doesn't like and to listen to stuff that resonates with him. We all do it to greater or lesser extent but this seems to be at the more extreme end of confirmation bias. |  |

| The split in the far-right vote on 07:28 - Feb 18 by Swansea_Blue | You realise ‘stop the boats’ is about stopping ‘that type’ (poor and of no use to them) of foreigner coming here? It’s not a humanitarian suggestion because they feel overwhelming concern for the wellbeing of refugees. Quite the opposite - they’re wanting to abandon refugees because they’re not white Brits. They have no practical, workable solution. So no, “everyone” is not on board with Reform’s use of xenophobia and racism to win votes. I’m certainly not. |
Forgive me but isn’t abandoning them (not letting them in) a practical workable solution? |  |

I suppose he’s strictly true there. Nazis were banned and the organisation disbanded. Nazi wannabes have to settle for being neo-Nazis and fascists these days. I bet that really galls them as well - they’d have loved to have pulled on a real SS uniform rather than prop department knock ups. What a time to be alive eh? Can we call it fascism yet? |  |

Not really, no. Otherwise we'd be doing it already. We can't stop people entering the country and once here they can claim asylum. How do you propose we go about just not letting them in? |  |

Remove on arrival, to locations outside of the UK. A plan which the Tories briefly had in place until Labour stopped it. |  | |  |

No they didn't. The Tories pretended to try and implement the Rwanda plan knowing it was unlawful and would be overturned, in order to deflect responsibility from them and instead on to "lefty lawyers". |  | |  |

A ridiculous, unworkable, and likely illegal plan. So doesn't really meet the criteria of being practical or workable. |  |

Indeed. It was all for show, as were the entire "efforts" of the Tories to bring down migration. Labour have been far more effective in 18 months than the Tories were in years when it comes to immigration but it's still not enough for those who have the horn for Reform. |  |

you then have the question of remove them to where - i can't see france saying yes. if someone really wants to reduce the numbers, i suspect the only way now is to exclude asylum seekers from the human rights act and exclude boat arrivals from the modern slavery act*. we've pretty much established that nothing else makes much difference. i can't see the current parliament agreeing to either. * this is an argument about how it might be done, not an argument that it should be done. |  |

Or go the whole hog and withdraw from the Human Rights Convention and other international conventions such as the Refugee Convention and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. But of course, no current party would go down that route. |  | |  |

I was just wondering, if he said yes, whether he would want us to intervene if they got into trouble or whether loss of life would be part of the deterrent. That probably sounds like a loaded question but I am interested. I don't think everyone who wants less immigration is racist but we do need to have a bit of humanity. I suspect Reform would see it as a problem solved but it would be pretty shameful for the country. |  |

Leave the ECHR and patrol the channel with 10 cutters, intercept the boats, disembark the passengers, return them to France. |  |

You can't return them to France without the agreement of France. Good luck patrolling the whole channel, how are you resourcing that exactly? And how are you safely executing the transfer of people from overloaded dinghies on to a larger vessel out in the open sea? Leaving the ECHR puts us on an equal footing with the likes of Belarus and Russia, not the kind of thing that a serious country should even be entertaining. Do you have a practical and workable solution? Because at the minute this is just Reform pipedream stuff you're suggesting and these aren't serious or credible proposals. [Post edited 19 Feb 17:59]

Can you evidence how Labour prevented the Tory "plan"? I suspect you mean the Rwanda policy (which was far from removal on arrival anyway). How much did the Tories spend on that? How many people would it have removed even if it hadn't been illegal (which they knew in advance it was)? Why do you think they set the plan up instead of processing asylum claims which would have been far cheaper? And while you're about it, can you say why you haven't responded to the question of why being anti-fascist is a bad thing? Being anti-fascist is being involved in left-wing political activism from the viewpoint of the far right, by the way. |  |

IF that happened in the future. Would it matter what france wanted? If theyve left the coast of france to come to uk and uk wants to take them back france might not want it but they allowed it. Wouldn't it then just mean that france then pushes back to and it reduces the number into france let alone into UK. BTW I dont follow politics at all so not gonna pretend otherwise. Just curious abojt why it would matter what france wanted over what the UK would want. |  |

France is a key ally of the UK. Do we treat our friends badly for our own gain? France are not helping them on to the boats and giving them a push out to sea. It's far more complex. |  |

Wouldn't a uk centre in france be plausible to process asylum applications. If then people tried to bypass that..then it would be right to return them Just seems odd that thousands can get over and processed once they've made it here. Appreciate the ally thing but arent we just being pushovers in this relationship? Im assuming brexit was the cause of it. |  |

Most of these asylum seekers will have crossed at least one "safe country" to reach France, so why doesn't France return them to Spain or Italy? This is so much more complex than The Mail will have you believe. The vast majority of asylum seekers don't attempt to reach the UK. |  |
