AFAICT, the problem in the UK is with too many people being allowed to stay for spurious reasons, not with people not being removed when they (legally) should be ?

I hate that ICE doesn't just mean internal combustion engine - thought this would be about a "national" british engine, but instead it's just people being assholes.

Fear mongering clickbait article and headline. Must be fun to just speculate on pessimism instead of optimism. Gotta get subscribers somehow I suppose, prey on the unhappy and scared.

Further evidence that social democrats are just moderate fascists.

UK and immigration is actually very bipolar affair. They don't want to live without migrant labor but they dislike migrants so much. And they persistently do nothing about migration or are actually encouraging it. While they were in EU, Home Office always had a tool to deport EU migrants - if person from EU is not self reliant after 3 months since coming to the country, EU law allows the host country to kick such person out. Home office never did anything and did not wanted you to register yourself. And then they committed Brexit instead of applying 3 months rule. After Brexit UK started rapidly importing migrants from South East Asia. And I expect that Home office will do nothing about these migrants as well. This British ICE is pointless because Home office already have all the tools necessary, they just don't want to use them, because UK economy is reliant on cheap migrant labor.
