Yes, you have to take in a number of outlets to get a decent perspective these days, the news business is about page views and clicks as much as reporting. In addition, the competition in the market means opinion is more prevalent than reporting.
I find foreign outlets quite enlightening in that they not only have views on affairs that UK outlets carry, but they report on issues that are ignored by UK news media.
The whole system is fcuked. I spoke to a lady today who runs a childcare business. She gets paid less than her wage costs for free places from the Government. Because of her staff structure her NI costs have doubled since the last budget.
She has to charge a premium to those who have to pay to balance the books. She says that if five full paying places were lost from her business she would have to close down, she employes 12 people.
I think her business will not survive because of government policy. It's madness!
Try reading the link two posts up. Despite your protestations many returns have no Government involvement.
You'll see the Sunak has to correct the record in the Houses of Parliament when he made similar claims!
The Government has no knowledge of some of these people until after they have left the country! Indeed it is only after they check the visa data that they know they have left the country!
If someone voluntarily gets themselves to an airport walks through passport control, with a UK visa, to go home to another country is the Government returning them?
I listen to Angela Eagle, A Government Minister today say on the Today Programme that the Government had returned over 30,000 migrants this year. I looked up the Governments own figures. Forced returns are about 9,000 and voluntary leavers are around 25,000.
Now these 25,000 are classified as either subject to removal action or immigration control, the latter means they had visas. These people left on their own accord.
