LEE ANDERSON: Britain has at all times been a sort, welcoming and tolerant nation that has sorted refugees… But immediately our heat and generosity are being abused by the felony gangs trafficking folks to our shores

Janis, the daddy of my constituent Alan Chew, witnessed the horrors of the Second World Conflict earlier than being granted asylum in Britain. He threw himself into British life, labored arduous, turned a British citizen, and was eternally grateful to our nation.
Janis is not with us, however his story makes me really feel extremely pleased with our nice nation. Britain has at all times been a sort, welcoming and tolerant nation that has sorted refugees from everywhere in the world – together with immediately with Ukrainians.
But immediately our heat and generosity are being abused by the felony gangs who’re trafficking folks to British shores.
The Dwelling Secretary instructed me the Dwelling Workplace has ‘failed to regulate our borders’ and he or she’s proper. Parliament and the Conservatives have let down the British public, writes Lee Anderson (pictured above)
We at the moment spend £6 million day by day on lodge rooms to accommodate unlawful financial migrants from protected international locations, at a time when my very own constituents in Ashfield can’t afford to warmth their houses, not to mention pay for lodges and holidays.
These lodges are cancelling constituents’ weddings and holidays, and seaside city lodges are absolutely ‘booked’. I’ve even acquired homeless folks in my patch who can not use the native midway home lodge.
The Everlasting Secretary on the Dwelling Workplace stated to me in Parliament that it is a ‘international drawback’ requiring a ‘international resolution’. That is nonsense. This can be a UK drawback.
This 12 months, greater than 12,000 folks have arrived in Britain illegally from Albania – up from 800 final 12 months and 50 in 2020. Nearly nowhere else in Europe accepts asylum claims for these coming from Albania – as a result of it’s a protected nation. If it is a ‘international drawback’, different international locations are doing a much better job at fixing it than we’re.

Sort-hearted Brits will at all times wish to present a protected haven for folks in real want, simply as we did for Janis all these years in the past. However we’re bored with being taken for fools by grasping attorneys, felony gangs and human-traffickers who’ve captured authorities establishments and who’re utilizing our legal guidelines and establishments in opposition to us.
I nonetheless imagine that the Conservative Occasion is the best-placed occasion to place this proper, and the Authorities can depend on my loyal assist. However we have to type this out by the tip of March – in any other case my constituents and I’ll rightly lose endurance.
