“The Whole Thing’s MAD!” Government Raises Funding For Legal Aid To Help Clear Asylum Backlog

Mike Graham and chief reporter at Politics Home, Alain Tolhurst, discuss the UK’s welfare system, highlighting that nine million people are out of work.

Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall's white paper aims to reform benefits, but concerns persist about its effectiveness.

The conversation also touched on immigration, noting that 1.6 million migrants are unemployed and the UK's population has risen by 10 million in the last decade.

They debated the impact of immigration on the economy and society, with Graham arguing it has negatively affected Britain, while Tolhurst emphasised its positive contributions.

There you have it ….millions of immigrants not working and we have to work to just support them

[ianparkin]

Raise funding for deportation.
Stop playing out ridiculous amounts for foreign aid.

[sikugord]

They need to get rid of legal aid for this. Brits cannot access legal aid in many cases.

[michaeljefferson]

Why go to work to pay for people to come here and get everything for FREE without having to pay a penny into the system? That is a reason some people don’t want to work

[julieambrose]

Well this all goes back to Blair making us a nanny state ….

[drizzle]

"Migration has made this country Yeah, right.

[greyandblue]

Ask this fellow why he thinks these people chuck any identification into the sea before arriving here.

[garryworthington]

Massive increase in imigration, massive increase in claims of unemployment benefit....who would have thought

[TheWhitehawker]

People from these war torn nations that claim asylum here import their grievances and carry on the fight on the streets in our country.

[linseyfennell]

Why are t they just turning boats back like other Countries other Countries don’t want them neither do we

[marylauder]

How is it cheaper to allow them all in when we have to house and furnish the properties! No doubt pay benefits thereon in.

[jamiecummings]

My 6 year old is going to school learning in marquee and modules as school closed 2 years ago due to unsafe. And government want more funds for ilegal migrants. What a government and country we have. 🎉

No passports no birth certificates so how can they get jobs and housing.

[nafs]

We are a soapbox heading downhill and the brakes no longer work..

[bondsan]

Oh that's it, I'm signing the petition.

[quentinsavage]

To be fair, i think we're actually quite cheeky for being mad at this now. We've done nothing but complain about it for a long time now. We have millions of fighting age men of our own and they've done absolutely nothing.

Never had any leader want`s to Help and grow Britain. Too Busy giving and Bootlicking other Countries.
