The Asylum System is a Fraud on the British People

The Tories won't stop the Dover invasion

The Guardian reports that France will press the EU to negotiate an asylum and migration treaty with the UK in an attempt to deter people from making the dangerous Channel crossing. The French government, which last week took up the six-month rotating presidency of the EU council of ministers, wants the whole bloc to act, despite warnings that other member states have no appetite for a migration treaty with Britain.

A senior French government official said the purpose of an EU-UK treaty would be to open up “a legal means of immigration with Great Britain, so people can legally go to Great Britain to seek asylum”. The source added that “obviously that means reciprocity”, suggesting British authorities could send people denied asylum back to the European country in which they had arrived. “We would be prepared to consider this. The idea is to have a zero balance at the end of the day.”

There are good reasons to reject this from the get-go. It would likely end up a repeat of the Dublin regulations which saw the UK as a net recipient of economic migrants. Secondly, the arrangement is contingent on the Home Office actively identifying candidates for removal which it isn't doing. We could have returned more migrants under the Dublin regime but we didn’t. The Home Office is completely dysfunctional and is in need of breaking up.

Interestingly, The Big issue, reports today that the number of people deported on Home Office charter flights has tripled during the pandemic. Over 1,100 people, it says, were deported on the controversial flights – which “activists” say is part of a “broken system”.

It is true that the system is broken. Were it functioning, we would be deporting at least a thousand migrants a week. There are tens of thousands of economic migrants in the Asylum system and over a million illegal immigrants around the country with no right to be here. Enough to keep RAF Brize Norton occupied all year round.

Why exactly a magazine run for the welfare of homeless people carries propaganda for open borders fanatics is not explained. It’s almost as though it’s not interested in housing the homeless and has another agenda.

Elsewhere in the Guardian, it complains that Afghans who fled the Taliban risk dying in freezing temperatures in Calais, “according to NGOs”. People who left Afghanistan after the US withdrawal last summer have started to arrive in northern France in the hope of reaching the UK by crossing the Channel in dinghies. But "charities" have raised the alarm that conditions are deteriorating sharply, “putting thousands of lives at risk”. A combination of freezing temperatures, increasingly forceful evictions of refugees from makeshift shelters by police and cuts to funding for charities working on the frontline has created a perfect storm, “the organisations said”.

Charities say that at least 150 evictions have taken place by police in northern France since Christmas. Care4Calais has reported that some of the “refugees” they work with have been injured by teargas, rubber bullets and batons used by the French police during evictions.

The subtext here is that the French treatment of asylum seekers and economic migrants on France soil is somehow our responsibility. These same charities then have the nerve to criticise hotel accommodation granted to them when they enter the UK illegally. Nowhere do these organisations outline where we’re supposed to put tens of thousands more migrants who’ll undoubtedly be escorted in by Priti Patel when the weather improves. Are we to give over the entire hospitality sector to accommodate them? What happens when we run out of hotels?

But then we know the answer to that one. The NGOcracy will use its considerable government funding in the courts to outlaw the use of barracks and hotels, and economic migrants will be awarded free housing ahead of those who’ve been on waiting lists for years. They’ll be dumped in northern towns and cities where machete attacks and child rape are now commonplace thanks to mass immigration.

You should by now have worked out that this government has no intention of stepping up deportations or meaningfully resolving the Dover invasion. As our Southend candidate, Steve Laws, has reported, the border force is spending millions on upgrading the port reception facilities, in the knowledge that this is a long term fixture.

To fix this, Britain needs a radical overhaul of the asylum and immigration system, starting with withdrawal from the 1951 Refugee Convention. It is obsolete and not fit for purpose. The Tories won't do this. Labour won’t do this. But UKIP will. Join today.

The Father of BREXIT Dies

by Stuart Gulleford • 11 September 2024

Jeffrey Titford 24.10.1933 – 09.09.2024 Jeffrey Titford, the former Leader of the UK Independence Party and two term MEP for the East of England, has passed away, after suffering from cancer. His family announced his death on 10 th September, aged 90. Jeffrey was one of the fathers of Brexit, coming to the fore in national and international politics at a time when leaving the EU was considered unthinkable and long before it became official Conservative Party policy. A visionary and a democrat, who did not believe that EU membership provided a viable future for Britain as an independent, self-governing nation, Jeffrey Titford was elected to the European Parliament at the 1999 European Parliamentary Elections, aged 63. He was one of three UK Independence Party MEPs elected, which sent shock waves through the political world. He became Leader of the Party in 2000 and served for three years bringing stability and respectability to its campaigns. During this period, he made seventy speeches a year, travelling all over the country. He also served as interim Leader from September to November 2010, following the resignation of Lord Pearson of Rannoch, while the election of a new Leader was held. During his time in the European Parliament, he made dozens of speeches in Plenary session severely criticising the EU and particularly the level of fraud in its finances. He also extensively lobbied the European Commission and the Government in Westminster on behalf of the British fishing and farming industries. He led several delegations of fishermen to see UK Agriculture Ministers in Westminster and also took a delegation to meet the European Commissioner for Fishing in Brussels. He wrote monthly columns for the East Anglian Daily Times, the Hertfordshire Mercury and Farmers Guide and made many appearances on regional television. He also made a guest appearance on Breakfast with Frost. Jeffrey Titford’s political career began in 1970, when he became a Councillor on the Clacton Urban District Council. He ended his association with the Conservative Party in 1992, in protest over Prime Minister John Major’s signing of the Maastricht Treaty. He joined Sir James Goldsmith’s Referendum Party and, in a sign of things to come, stood in the General Election of 1997 in Harwich when he was the Party’s most successful candidate, securing almost 10 per cent of the vote and, in the process, unseating the sitting Member of Parliament. Following the death of Sir James Goldsmith, Jeffrey was invited to join the UK Independence Party (UKIP), where he established a branch in Clacton and a regional committee, which led to his successful campaign in the European Elections in 1999. He paved the way for Nigel Farage’s subsequent success in Clacton at the 2024 General Election. He was re-elected to the European Parliament in 2004, with a greatly increased share of the vote and UKIP also returned a second MEP. He retired from European Politics in 2009 and was made an Honorary Patron of the Party in 2006 and became President for Life in 2011. Life before politics Following National Service in the RAF, Jeffrey joined the family’s funeral directing business in 1956, where he had a 35 year career, during which he served for 12 years on the National Association of Funeral Director’s (NAFD) National Executive and rose to National President in 1975-76. He was instrumental in developing an official code of practice for the funeral profession, at the request of the Office of Fair Trading. He also successfully campaigned for funeral directors to have the right to sell a package funeral and carried out the first review of the practice manual for funeral directing, which led to the creation of a formal qualification for funeral directors, recognised by the NAFD. He sold the company in February 1989 and retired from the profession. An enthusiastic Rotarian, Jeffrey served as President of the Clacton and later Frinton Rotary Clubs. He also belonged to the Clacton Operatic and Clacton Dramatic Societies, taking lead roles in both companies. However, his most successful hobby was rally driving. He was a leading light in the Clacton Motor Club in the early seventies for whom he was the regional rally champion for six consecutive years. Jeffrey Titford was a devoted family man and is survived by his wife Margaret, one son, three daughters, eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
