Britons let down by governments on immigration, Trump officials say:-
“The British government in particular, time and time again we’ve seen governments — whether it be Conservative governments, Labour governments — say that they’re going to take action to solve the mass migration crisis, and time and time again, despite the people continuously voting for a resolution or at least some sort of relief from the pressures of mass migration, nothing has really happened.”

Question Time.
I am sure we will hear all the usual waffle and excuses when the above people blame any other party but their own regardless of topic.

Rupert Lowe MP
Yet another scandal uncovered, this time on student loans. My view is that we are saddling youngsters with such extreme debt, then charging ludicrous interest on those loans. It is morally repugnant to load young men and women with yet another tax. And it is a tax...
But let’s explore who is actually taking those loans (which very often don’t get paid back.)
Figures all provided to me by the Department for Education.
The figures paid to UK nationals over the last five years has stayed steady. 16 billion a year.
Non-UK nationals?
2.4 billion in 20/21, rising to 3.8 billion in 24/25.
Unknown nationality? 341 million in 20/21, to 706 million in 24/25. How can it be unknown? How can we hand out thousands and thousands of pounds when we don’t even know a person’s nationality? But it gets worse…
I asked for a nationality breakdown of loans written off.
Obviously, they did not have the information...
However, they did provide me with a breakdown of loan borrowing by nationality. Some of the figures are quite striking, particularly the Romanians.
Romania.
25,046 in 19/20. 78,325 in 23/24. How on earth is that justifiable?! Why are we funding tens of thousands of Romanians to go to university?
78 thousand Romanians receiving financial support, in ONE YEAR.
How much of this is being paid back? Written off? Meaning that British students are having to pay through the nose for their interest.
It’s a fraud. Quite obviously a scam. Thousands and thousands take the money, then sod off. Never paying it back, leaving us to clear up the mess.
We should restrict student loan financing to British boys and girls. Ban Romanians from applying, urgently.
Save billions by restricting it to Brits, then we can start to scrap the interest on student loans and give young British men and women the freedom they need to build a life.

"10 charities funding open borders in Britain It's time to "smash the NGOs"
Charlotte Gill
These days, whenever I hear Keir Starmer promise he’ll “smash the gangs”, I find myself wishing he’d “smash the charities”. That is, the industrial complex of trusts and foundations that are effectively fuelling open borders.
Well worth a read IMHO. Intereting the amount of funding from HMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!

New: Fewer than 1 in 10 FAILED asylum seekers are deported from Britain. The state is completely incompetent. A nation that cannot manage its borders is not a serious nation.

The fortnight spent by a builder from Rochdale filming undercover in the migrant camps of Calais, and the rendering of his story by Isabel Oakeshott, is simply astonishing.
The French are revealed to be utterly complicit in smuggling migrants to the UK.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/12/11/inside-calais-jungle-france-immigration-small-boats/
Premiered 21 hours ago Talk EXCLUSIVES
Watch our feature-length documentary hosted by Isabel Oakeshott which investigates life inside the migrant camps in Calais and Dunkirk as recorded by an individual who went undercover posing as a migrant for two weeks.
In a wide-ranging investigation exposing the extremely dangerous, mafia-run camps populated by high-risk individuals attempting to cross the Channel, where semi-automatic gunfire is heard regularly, the footage also shows French police officers visible at every key stage of the migrants’ journey, from the jungle camps to public transport across northern France and finally to the beaches, “doing nothing to deter or stop them.”
