Migrants will not be able to leave these detention centres, and each will be held there a couple of weeks before being deported. So here’s our promise: A Reform government will not put any migrant detention facilities in any constituency with a Reform MP. Nor will we put them where Reform controls the council. And of the remaining areas, we will prioritise Green controlled parliamentary constituencies and Green controlled councils to locate the detention centres. Put simply, if you vote in a Reform council or Reform MP, we guarantee you won’t have a detention centre near you.“ |  | | |  |

That's what they are there for. We're all human beings. There are ways to solve problems other than destroying the very social fabric of our country in some juvenile, ridiculous, half-witted 1930s re-enactment. Reform are traitors. |
I'm quite surprised that this hasn't garnered any downvotes. It also gives me a little bit of hope, and I'm happy to say I feel a lot of respect for anybody who's been tempted by Reform and is now turning away from them. We can all work together. |  |

The fact though is that things like this and much of what they plan to do depends on leaving the ECHR and other international treaties but I don't think they are going to get this through without the use of the Parliament Act because the Lords aren't going to play ball. And even then I think the courts will still cause problems with what they propose because it appears to go against the tenets of the common law. Putting it another way, I don't think they will be able to do much of what they promise (and certainly not at speed), but that isn't really the point because the message is all that really matters for them and their supporters. |
I've noticed that Restore are going for the even more politically-illiterate voter by repeatedly promising that everything will be done on 'day 1' of a Restore government, and they will make things illegal retrospectively and punish people who did those things when they were legal. Also completely agree with the earlier comment about a large amount of bed shitting going on due to the rise in the popularity of the Greens. Echoes of about ten years ago when it looked like a bit of social democracy might be more than just a pipe dream. [Post edited 5 May 2:18]

Yes, it's astonishing the way that the entire political and media establishment turn on and smear something that before Thatcher had pretty much cross-party support, and is the norm in much of western Europe. And here's today's helping of the Mail's Green Menace campaign which in my view is pandering to racism. https://www.dailymail.com/news [Post edited 5 May 8:56]

As to the OP, a policy that clearly is unworkable, but when you are playing to the culture wars and targeting the 'own the libs' demographic, I have no doubt it will be depressingly effective. |
It is depressingly predictable too. The courts will block it and we'll be back to judges being the 'enemy of the people' again |  | |  |

Exactly, and as has been discussed it's the way that reform, or any populist supporters get switched on to a new target with absolutely zero original thought that is the huge red flag here. Greens are bad. Okay. Got it. They want to hug 'illegals'. Got it. Give them 2 or 3 soundbites and they're away, happily adding another group to the list of undesirables to be attacked and treated differently. |  | |  |

It’s unbelievably transparent isn’t it. It’s so obvious what’s happening, but they jump anyway. It’s probably not all about the threat from the Greens, as immigration through regular and irregular channels is plummeting. They need to find a new bogey man or at least re-frame the threat from immigration as a hypothetical again rather than real (echoes of 80million Turks flooding our shores). (That’s not to say we shouldn’t test and challenge the policies and approach of the Greens, or any other party, but critical thinking about policies is most definitely not what’s going on here!). |  |

There is a line in Revenge of the Sith, where Padme (Luke and Leia's mum) says "so this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause", and i think it nails what happened in America, and what I fear will happen here. |  |

Do you support the idea of building detention centres to house 10s of thousands of people with a view to deporting them? Who do you think the 10s of thousands of people will be? Judging by the size of that figure, it must include those who currently have indefinite leave to reman. The idea of people who I consider friends being interred with the threat of being deported horrifies me. |  |
