British Home Secretary Suella Braverman has managed to incur the wrath of globalists, including George Soros, for telling the truth about what she termed the “invasion” of migrants coming into the country via the English Channel by the tens of thousands. They originate mostly from Africa and the Middle East, arrive in France, and then make their way into the UK.
Her efforts are admirable, but the outstanding question remains whether Rishi Sunak will support those efforts beyond lip service. Lip service is the preferred action of the Conservative Party since the days of the failed Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and before that. While Braverman is being grilled by MPs, surely some individual or group is behind the party’s constant waffling over the issue.
When pressed further on exactly whose fault it was, Braverman answered:
“I tell you who’s at fault. It’s very clear who’s at fault. It’s the people who are breaking our rules, coming here illegally, exploiting vulnerable people and trying to reduce the generosity of the British people. That’s who’s at fault.”
Then stop them. Braverman’s answer is a cop-out. It is the responsibility of the British government to protect the interests of its citizens. Currently, Britain has in effect put up a big welcome sign for more illegals to enter the country via the English Channel.
“Braverman admits UK ‘failed to control borders’ as Tory MP erupts at her in tense grilling,” by Katie Harris, Express, November 24, 2022:
Suella Braverman today admitted the Government has failed to control the UK’s borders. The Home Secretary made the comments as she was grilled by MPs on the Home Affairs Committee for the first time since her appointment.
Ms Braverman has come under fire in recent weeks over Channel migrant crossings and overcrowded conditions at the Manston processing centre.
But the Home Secretary insisted she and PM Rishi Sunak were “absolutely determined” to get a grip on the crisis as she appeared before MPs on Wednesday.
Tory MP Lee Anderson said: “We’re putting more (asylum seekers) in hotels because the Home Office has failed to control our borders and it’s not fit for purpose at the moment.”
She replied: “We have failed to control our borders, yes. That’s why the Prime Minister and myself are absolutely determined to fix this problem.”
Ms Braverman was also repeatedly questioned over where the fault lies for the recent problems at Manston in Kent, where at one point around 4,000 people were being detained for weeks at a site intended to hold 1,600 for a matter of days.
The former military airfield near Ramsgate stood empty on Tuesday after everyone held there was moved into hotels but it has been dogged by controversy in recent weeks.
The Home Secretary told MPs: “I’m not going to point the finger of blame at any one person. It’s not as simple as that.”
Asked again, she said: “Listen, I don’t think it’s helpful to point the finger of fault at anyone.”
Pressed further, she said: “I tell you who’s at fault. It’s very clear who’s at fault. It’s the people who are breaking our rules, coming here illegally……

Apparently the jewel-in-the-crown UK NHS is collapsing rapidly under the immigration tsunami. Was it ever realistic to provide free healthcare for all, for ever? Pie in the sky, as they say, the quality of care was poor long before I emigrated, long before Islam was a problem.
The writing was in huge letters on the wall & it shocked me that so few could read it…

The NHS was never intended to provide free healthcare for the entire planet. Back on the 1950’s ‘free’ treatment was available only if payments were up to date either on one’s own behalf or by a taxpaying member of one’s family. Otherwise, one was billed for treatment. On that basis, none of these migrants are entitled to anything from the NHS. And Ms. Braverman is right; these migrants are nearly all supposed to be adults and responsible for their own criminal actions

She needs to fire her entire bureaucracy, get together w/ the Defence Secretary and have the Royal Navy and the RAF start sinking those ships. Also have Sunak withdraw Britain from the ECHR: it’s bizarre that after Brexit, Britain is still a part of this
If she doesn’t do this, she’ll go down as a failure just like Priti Patel
Raja says
Infidel,
Absolutely, what is the point in being part of ECHR? This is grotesque, as the Brits voted against EU.
Blame game is a very old trait starting with Adam. Is there a need to remind Suella that she is responsible for border controls?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
She clearly doesn’t have any control over her bureaucracy, or else this wouldn’t be happening. Which is why she needs to escalate this to Sunak, have UK withdraw from ECHR and activate the RAF and the Royal Navy. Also can the agreement w/ France for Britain to pay them for… whatever

Whether it is the UK or other weak willed western countries, as opposed to tougher countries such as Hungary and those other Visegrad bloc countries, it is really the weak governments (or maybe, since the people in a democracy do vote these weak governments in, it is the whole population) that are to blame. If the invasion is not stopped by really tough policies, then the invasion will obviously continue. There are lots of people who want to escape their shitty countries and invade countries such as the UK. You have to take the sugar off the table by making sure the illegal invaders are not allowed to stay.

Perhaps it’s just as well that Queen Mary I lost Calais to French forces led by the Duc de Guise. Otherwise they would be in Britain as soon as they climbed a wall, never mind crossing the Channel. I can’t believe that this is the same country that managed to stop the Nazis from invading for a five year period – what is so different about keeping migrants out?

Unless you intercept the boats and then forcibly send them all straight back to France, then burn the boats, there is no solution!
Violet says
Suella Braverman is absolutely right! Any people illegally pouring into a country is an invasion. Bravo Suella!
