I think you are wrong. Illegal immigration to Wales is quite small if the official figures are anywhere near correct.
40,000 illegal boat people 5% of that is 2000 to Wales. There is not need for ICE or that sort of thing. The get more than that watching the Ospreys.
We are a Welfare state and Digital iD is part of the answer. It of course has to be rigorously enforced. No Digital id no services of the state.
No NHS, Prescriptions, schooling, transport insurance passport national insurance number. At present we have Digital iD with out consent with phone records, number plate recognition and Facial recognition technology. All checks "done on the sly".
Get it in the open with mandatory iD checks (by consent perhaps after a referendum). My iD was checked about 10 times in Turkiye and had to out with my passport.
Your post is right from the far right of British politics and not representative. The far right are not bright and afraid of digital iD which is good for taxpayers and bad for illegality of all sorts.
All adult Turks are obliged to carry National id card at all times for inspection.. This is a country that has had migration for centuries as a bridge between Europe and Asia. They took in 4 million Syrians refugees with no offer of permanent settlement.
They do not need ICE. They have asked them to return and have withdrawn their right for health service in Turkiye. They will turn the screws gradually withdraw the right to drive and rent property don the line I expect. These were genuine refugees given temporary refuge but now the Turkish nation has told them time to go home.
UK could do this with changes in the law. When you have robust returning laws peole are more relaxed about taking refugees.
What are Reform / Right winger like Lowe going to do about immigration ? What are the options? These are all inhumane and not my personal choice. The idea is to make UK not a very welcoming place.
a) Use the Royal Navy to turn the boats back. The is would cause concern regarding the physical welfare of the people in the boats. Would the Royal Navy be willing to do this? Australia might have done this and it could be legal.
b) Pick up the boat people and take them to an offshore Island for processing there. A channel Island perhaps. They woud sit there for months and after giving up hope decide to go home. The Falklands is a bit far. Italy used Lapadusa for this.
c) Allow the migrants to stay but remove all services paid for by the taxpayer such as NHS healthcare schooling transport. They would have the status of migrant worker in Saudi Arabia. No citizenship private health care etc. Special foreign worker terms and conditions. They would be required to log in with their whereabouts etc
d) Reinstall the Rwanda scheme and process in a 3rd country.
e) Place in camps and provide rock bottom services to the minimum requirement of refugee hospitality. Food shelter warmth. Military camps with no right to leave. Basic food with no provision for religious preferences.. One Reform candidate favoured tents (Ms Jenkins?) . This would not be comfortable and would be extremely boring. UK is currently being accused of making the migrant comfortable with free phones and travel cards. There would be occasional flareup with bad PR as seen in Greece.
As a Welsh person I do not have great concerns about too many migrants. The problem we have in the West is our children even those with no skills and qualifications are no longer willing to do hard physical or monotonous jobs for £11 per hour. Abattoirs, care homes, recycling centres, Amazon, hospitality.
40,000 people on boats . 5% for Wales 2000. Most go to Cardiff Newport and Swansea. Very few to NPT.
As a taxpayer I am funding UK free services NHS schooling transport. Many immigrants are a getting here and doing cash only jobs car washes barbers shops etc. Enjoying the service but not contributing to it with tax.
I believe the UK and French authorities have agreed an acceptable number. For some reason the was one month with no crossing. This may have been because the numbers had exceeded the agreed projection and the French had a little chat with the smugglers to go on holiday. Just a theory. Turks stopped migration like a stone once Mrs Merkel offered them a few billion. I believe the french know exactly who the smugglers are. They see their faces every day at the beach giving instructions on how the outboard motor works.
One has to ask what the intelligence services have been doing for the last decade. It seems we had a least two loose cannons associated with Epstein and one handing over sensitive private information about UK for use of Foreign states.
If they knew this which we pay them to know how on earth did The Prime Minister appoint the man to be US Ambassador.?
Either they did not know or the system is so rotten they just did not get involved and are part of the leaking process and organising a " soft landing" so as not to "undermine trust" in British state institutions. It could be no one has a clue and WFH ( working from home) to avoid the Ulex or whatever it's called.
Another theory of course is the intelligence services themselves had freebees paid for by Epstein and his presumably middle east backers.
He seems to be heading the ball cleaner these days and actually scored one or two with his head. For a player that wanted to be No 9 this was an area he needed to improve. There were example where he missed a goal going with his feet where a diving header was a goal.
I saw him playing for Wales u21 about 10 years ago. Wales young player of the year O'Sullivan never made it scored two and i cannot remember anyone else. Declan could not tackle anyone and gave the Bulgarian a free pass. No good if you are a fullback. Fast though.
He must have made a lot of money. £5 a week is pennies for a footballer but big money for a jobbing footballer. £250 k for 10 years then retire.
DJ was one of Cooper's "Non negotiable four" humiliated in an FA cup ties at QPR by Ilhyas Chair and others.
John, McKay, Petersen and Celina. Three from memory never players for him again and Celina went later along with Asoro. Coops never had too many v big losses.
Lads alike Callum Jones, Haywood and Popham are getting plenty of action with the u18 progressing in the v cups as well and turning out for both and doing really well.
There must be a few more full Welsh internationals coming through.?
Ricardo Santos is still at the club and is here until. 2027 so too expensive to pay off.
I wonder if he has a use as a last 15 min. Swansea lost to Millwall and a few others due to last minute set piece goals. When the pressure is cranked up a 6 for 5in defender is just the ticket. Galbraith/ Key / Tymon get out jumped Santos does not as he has the physical presence in theory.
Fine margins fine adjustments. Unlucky 1-2 away defeats are a Swansea speciality with the winner in last 15 mins as teams go direct. In the past Swansea would play keep ball under Potter and Martin as a tactic to keep the monsters out of the six yard box .
A loan to buy i usually includes a pre-agreed final fee and payment terms (as i understand it) This is good for Swansea as if he plays brilliantly Sirius cannot up the price.
The first option is no good to Swansea if it is £15m unless another team has offered £18m. I recall a centre forward playing for Watford I think who was on loan and the players valuation rocketted and he was moved on the same day to another team as Watford (?) could not afford it as they did not get promoted. They flipped the player.
After some research it was Benik Afobe. Taken for HITC
[An example that will be fresh in a lot of people’s memories, Benik Afobe’s double-transfer window came in the summer of 2018. The Congo international looked a real danger man in League One and in the Championship with MK Dons and Wolverhampton Wanderers, before Eddie Howe offered him a crack at the Premier League with Bournemouth in January 2016.
£10 million was the fee, but after a disappointing start to the 2017-18 campaign, the Cherries made Afobe available in the January transfer window. He returned to Wolves, on-loan, but with the option to make the deal a permanent one for the same £10 million fee he had been sold for. Afobe scored 6 goals in 16 games to help his former club win promotion to the Premier League, and they took up the option to make the deal a permanent one in the summer.
They seemingly had little intention of playing him in the top flight though, and just 11 days later Wolves turned a £2 million profit on the 26-year-old who joined recently-relegated Stoke City. It looked like a smart piece of business by the Potters, but Afobe managed only 8 league goals last season, and Stoke were the most underwhelming side in the division.}
Kyrrel Wilson is selected every week and usually subbed about the 70 min mark.. He is not scoring enough goals with only one on he is debut . He is regarded as a winger in Falkirk. He needs to get 50 games under belt find the pace of the senior game then hope f he presses on.
All the four loan players in n Scotland will be ready to contribute next season with 50-100. ;games behind them with the basics skills and experience in places.
Cullen and Ollie Cooper were slow burners. Cullen continues to improve Cooper has regressed it seems and should go and help out his old mates ant Newport.. Cabango is captain. Abdullai who I used to love watching is now central midfielders for Orient
His initial promise was as a 17 year old. He is still only 19. If he can develop resilience he could still be a prospect.
Swansea seem to give a lot of patience to home grown players Josh Thomas, Cotterill Congreve and Lloyd. Thomas is similarly dogged by injuries and has done nothing over two seasons. Al Hamadi and Kyle Joseph did eventually get £1m+ fees for League one teams. None of these guys were reported to be scouted by the big guns as far as i know.
I was under the impression that the player had left the club permanently. He has barely played. I am not an expert but the club needs to work to improve the players resilience and not rush him back. His brother was at the club for a few years and barely played.
Hopefully he is now fit. He has gas and was highly rated. Scouts from the giants wets reported looking at him. Very good prospects can stay at Swansea only perhaps if f they have " risk baggage".
12-0. Sort of scores Arsenal Chelsea and Man city academies get. Two great results against Yorkshire teams.
I give credit to Swnsea for Doncaster being poor,
Take from SCFC2
"Doncaster – coached by former Derby and Republic of Ireland international Paul Green – had drawn with QPR and beaten Brentford and Mansfield to get this far, but today’s side was totally outclassed."
A pretty silly last line. UK is a very safe place a but isolated incidents can occur. A woman is shot dead by a Leicester based hit squad in Talbot Green Cardiff but it does not make national news. Drug related apparently.
The Walsall incident was months ago.
UK is bound to have immigrant issues just like most of the Western world. Most are well behaved but one or two are violent. UK government have realised old RAF camps are the best place for them. Not so good for the locals but we Welsh had to put up with industry and mining fumes drowning of our valleys and now wind turbines.
It is about software not hardware. I personally would never do a deal with the team of Trump, Wittkoff and Hesgeth or even Rubio.
Trump is conflating issues and using leverage where it does not belong. The Canadian Prime minister Carney is navigating this quagmire and probably will outlast Trump and MAGA and try to deal with a more constructive partner.
