UK launches crackdown on illegal immigrants delivering food - 'Undercutting British workers' Food delivery companies are being urged to carry out more detailed checks on their drivers, as authorities report a huge increase in undocumented immigrants exploiting rules to work in the delivery sector. GB News has been told that many legitimate riders will often rent out their accounts to illegal immigrants to make more money. Immigration Enforcement officers have launched a major crackdown on the scam, with raids and special operations in towns and cities across the UK. Hundreds of people have been arrested on suspicion of immigration offences in recent weeks. Home Office officials said working in the underground economy was a “major pull-factor” for those embarking on often dangerous illegal journeys to the UK. www.gbnews.com/news/migrant-news-undocumented-immigrants-food-delivery-sector-crackdownThis is the mother of all smokescreens, the government allow tens of thousands of illegals to land on English beaches every year, then arrest a few people on suspicion of 'immigration offences', none of whom will be deported because lefty lawyers or some government funded charity will advise them to be gay which means they will be persecuted if they are deported. This suggests the government are becoming desperate to show the electorate that they really are listening. Ha.

Exactly. The Black economy is completely out of control in this country and the govt and police just don't take it seriously. Even Macron has said that our Black economy is one of the reasons for all the boats coming here.
Richard Tice drew attention a few months ago to all the Turkish barbers that are popping up everywhere - which have virtually no clients and are obviously just a front for money laundering. It's the same with these car washes which are stuffed with people who are obviously immigrants and almost certainly illegals. Tice recently pointed out that Oxford Street now has over 20 American candy shops - which seem to be the same scam. These are all fronts for illegality but absolutely NOTHING has been done about it.
It's not difficult. They seem to have shut down the 3 solicitors that the Mail caught out making false cases for illegal immigrants. But, I'm only guessing, I bet that this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are probably hundreds of these dodgy solicitors, so why haven't we heard of more arrests?
I reckon that the problem is just so out of control now that the police and govt have given up. Look at the looting that happened in Oxford Street last week. It seems to have been stirred up by TikTok but nothing has been done about this. And I watched the footage on GB News and Talk (not on the BBC of course) and it seemed to me that all the perpetrators were black. This is another problem. We have an underclass of mainly blacks who shoplift and loot yet no one can even talk about it.
I think England is a basket case now. We have identifiable groups of troublemakers and illegals - that we all know about - but nobody does anything about and nobody can even mention.

Have they pledged to 'Stop the Boats' too?

Have they pledged to 'Stop the Boats' too? Yes, but they realise that it's fundamental that the migrants are never allowed to land here. The minute they do that you can't get rid of them. Richard Tice has said that he's had his lawyers check international law and it's entirely legal for them to be returned directly to France - and that's what the Reform party are committed to. |

What does Tice say they'll do if the French resist the returns? International law says the French, or any country for that matter, cannot refuse landing facilities for a ship disembarking people, regardless of their political status, who have been rescued on the high seas. The only proviso being, it must be a safe port. This is covered in the 1951 Refugee Convention and the 1982 United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea. The French would of course ignore international law and resist returns, but that would have nothing to do with the UK. That would be for The EU, the French, the UN and the International Court of Justice to sort out. |

I was asking what the Reform Party intends to do if the French refuse to go along with their plan. Well that's a little tricky since the French have not as yet refused returns, although it's a safe bet they would. Reform policy on this matter is: 1) Publish the origin of Channel migrants monthly. 2) Instruct the Navy to give the location of launch points immediately to the French police and also to publish them publicly. 3) Pick up and take back boats under the existing laws provided in the 1974 International Convention of Safety of Lives at Sea (SOLAS). 4) Withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights and the 1951 Refugee Convention. We don't need to be signatories to either to help genuine refugees in need. 5) Reform the Human Rights Act 1998. 6) Merge the existing Border Force and Immigration Enforcement departments into a single dedicated force, to be called His Majesty’s Border Force (HMBF). 7) Remove the new HMBF from woke civil service control, attaching it to the Home Office as a separate entity. www.reformparty.uk/the_boats_keep_coming |

I can't say that I am overly bothered, but if Red wants to take over the delivery of my lamb biryani and Peshwa nam tonight then I am easy.
I am not so sure about asking him to repaint the house. I have a pair of cheery lads from God knows where currently on the case and Red is in a permanent state of rage over something, so I am not sure that he might not fall off the ladder and damage the new paintwork

Your link is less than informative Dan. However, under the provisions I mentioned previously it is perfectly lawful for the government to return illegals to the EU as soon as they are picked up rather than ferry them to England. Of course the chances are illegals would be less than cooperative, which is why a much firmer stance must be taken by the Border Farce. Perhaps under the terms of 'Military aid to the civil power' (MACP) the Marines could be utilised, it is after all an emergency and it's what the Marines do. |

Again, there is nothing in the convention you cited, and which I linked to - the 1974 International Convention of Safety of Lives at Sea (SOLAS) - that makes any reference to the lawfulness or otherwise of returning boats and migrants.
There's nothing in the Reform Party's published policy on Border Control and Immigration either.
Are you sure you haven't misread or misunderstood something?

Again, there is nothing in the convention you cited, and which I linked to - the 1974 International Convention of Safety of Lives at Sea (SOLAS) - that makes any reference to the lawfulness or otherwise of returning boats and migrants. There's nothing in the Reform Party's published policy on Border Control and Immigration either. Are you sure you haven't misread or misunderstood something? OK, Sea rescue - what the law says. Q. Who decides whether it is a case of distress at sea? A. Normally the captain of the ship in question decides that. However, the boats of migrants and refugees usually don't have a captain. So then it has to be the captain of any other nearby ship that can come to the rescue, that has to make the judgement. That's according to the International Law for the Safety of Life at Sea. At the same time, the Law of the Sea doesn't describe precise criteria, such as the distance from land. The captain has to be given this discretion. Because the sea is a dangerous place for people. In some cases, reconnaissance aircraft over the Mediterranean will alert control centers on land. Q. What are the obligations of the captain of the other (search and rescue) ship? A. He has to rescue the people in distress at sea and take them to a safe place. Again, however, the Law of the Sea isn't clear about what exactly a "safe place" means. So the captain has to use discretion here, too. It does have to be more than just any patch of dry land: It has to be a place where there is no immediate danger of persecution, incarceration or torture. Libya is no such safe place. These obligations are independent of the status of the people that have been rescued, for example if they are refugees or migrants without the right to enter Europe. It also makes no difference if they have deliberately placed themselves in a situation of distress at sea. www.infomigrants.net/en/post/21314/sea-rescue--what-the-law-saysIt is the sole responsibility of the ships master or captain to decide where people rescued at sea are disembarked. The only proviso is that it must be a safe port. People picked up in the channel could quite lawfully be returned to the safe state of France. Anecdotally, GB News wanted an answer to the question: why aren't illegals returned to France when rescued. So they interviewed a sea captain. He confirmed that the responsibility of where to land people rescued at sea lies with the captain of the rescuing vessel, he went on to say that he had no idea why people rescued in the channel are not returned to France. |
