Just quoting 30p Lee, but for some - enough - Brexit meant immigration. I think there was a lot of that. They must be bitterly disappointed!
I think they'll struggle with this plan even if they get it through.
They have no "returns" agreements to speak of, and in any case under applicable laws they can only deport people who have been assessed i.e. asylum claim processed, which they say they will not do. So presumably the next piece of shameful legislation will have to be to bail out of the ECHR which Britain wrote and was a founding signatory to in 1948, and water down the Human Rights Act which inter alia gives protection from slavery.
It's utterly shaming. I wish I could get an Irish passport but my Irish ancestors are too far removed.
