[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1184488, member: 45598"] I have two issues, one is the use (and active encouragement to use) NI in all of this, the asylum seekers would be processed correctly if coming directly from the UK as there’s customs checks going from there to here. It’s a bit like the Tories getting the DUP in to get a hard brexit over the line, using the region when convenient and happily allowing the people there have far less opportunity than most of those in the UK and in the rest of Ireland. The Irish question > Troubles > Brexit pawns > Conveyor belt of the unfortunate. How the **** is that any way to treat a region. The second is the use of the GFA and recent UK “political” influence in this country. We can’t put checks between the Derry, Tyrone, Fermanagh, Armagh, and Down and Donegal, Cavan, Monaghan, Sligo and Louth. It spits in the face of the GFA that the UK has desperately tried to undermine during Brexit and is now happy to use in this manner. In addition Westminster will be acutely aware of the rising far right movement here fuelled by their best and brightest in the likes of Tommy Robinson and Farage. They also know that we’re more or less at capacity for refugees, 1000s are being provided with tents while waiting for adequate dwellings because at the beginning of the recent crisis Ireland were for more welcoming of refugees than the UK were. Ireland would welcome these people if we could which has never been the UK’s stance. The timing of this surrounding the Rwanda act screams that it’s been encouraged and pre meditated to me also. I’m not French or German and don’t attest to what they do but this is typical of the UK and sweeping their own domestic issues into our driveway rather than addressing them at source (or with a shred of humanity). Think the above covers this also. [/QUOTE]
