Government telling immigrants to fuck off back home

[bobAlike]

I think you should title your thread more appropriately.

I put thought into my thread title

Just to make it clear I don't think the swearing is bad I just think you should have added 'illegal' in the title.

That aside do you think this is a good idea - ie will any illegal immigrants decide to leave - or a collosal fcking waste of taxpayers money and more evidence that Theresa May is a useless idiot.

Obv bad idea and a waste of time. But I also agree illegal immigrants should be made to go home.

There is a huge difference between thinking there should be controlled immigration and treating illegal immigrants in this manner.  Almost everybody that is sensible thinks that there have to be immigration controls but that is a world away from demonising those that are here and creating a dangerous witchhunt against them and, often, anyone that shares their nationality or skin colour irrespective of their immigration status.  The government knows that the campaign will make zero difference to the problem.  There is absolutely no chance that one of these posters will make a single illegal immigrant decide to go home yet it will make huge parts of the community feel very uncomfortable and could foster community unrest yet it might deliver a few votes to the Conservative Party at huge cost to the taxpayer rather than Tory grandees.

I think the example used about the Olympics is a very poor one and almost completely contrary to this example.  The Olympics were great because there were inclusive.  We celebrated as one the victories of a Muslim born in Somalia that won two golds for our country.  Campaigns like this serve to make people like Mo Farah feel uncomfortable in this country for political capital.

Excellent post.

Obv waste of money..but illegal immigrants are an issue..unfortunately we live in a society where if you so much as advocate any action against illegal immigrants you are immediately denounced as a racist just shy of the swastika club. Its incredibly frustrating living in a so called free society but you cannot voice sound political views without being shoehorned into such an extreme generalisation..

Spot on, its standard tactics of those on the left to make it sound as if your opinion is extreme (on a bunch of issues not only this) even though its mainstream opinion. They even try to pull the moral high ground as if their opinion is better than yours with 'ooh how can you possibly think that in this day and age' type comments lol.

Obv the van is a waste of time and money, they might be better off offering a £1k reward for grassing on any illegals people know or something like that I dunno, it's better than that effing van idea anyway lol.

tbf, you two are nutso. I don't have a problem with policing illegal immigration, I just don't really care that much either. I also don't want you to feel bad cause you would prefer less immigration. It's just something like this can only really be viewed as malevolent and disingenuous, so it deserves to be mocked, whichever side of the political spectrum you come from
