Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

There is NO evidence that asylum seekers pose a particular risk to women. There is NO data showing they are any more dangerous than any other man. And no, memes and random highly manipulated graphs on social media don't count! Every time a claim surfaces suggesting otherwise, it is debunked🤷‍♀️

In reality, their biometric data (which doesn't rely on their ID or documents!) is checked against: Immigration, Security and Criminality databases They are checked for: Convictions Pending prosecutions Wanted or missing reports. So not "unchecked" Wanted murderers will be picked up!👍🏻 4/
Extract from the government fact sheet on this asylum site:
Mandatory security checks are conducted on all people seeking asylum through linking their biometric data to immigration, security, and criminality databases. This includes criminality checks for, amongst other things, convictions, pending prosecutions, wanted or missing reports, as well as
fingerprints and photographs. These checks are critical to the delivery of a safe and secure immigration system.

The usual links to *foreign* hard RW Christian Nationalist organisations, include the Heritage Foundation (through the Edmund Burke Foundation) who use Trump to push the evil 'Project 2025' in the US. You know, mass deportations, giving women's votes to their husbands/fathers, etc. Grim.
Alongside his University position and role at Reform UK, Orr has held a number of other positions, including at the Edmund Burke Foundation, the Free Speech Union, and the Centre for a Better Britain.

He is also a faculty contributor to Jordan Peterson’s Peterson Academy, an unaccredited online education program, and a fellow at the private Ralston College in Georgia.Orr has also developed a Cambridge-based network of conservative political and intellectual organisations.

He is a director of the Roger Scruton Legacy Foundation, which seeks to advance the legacy of conservative philosopher Sir Roger Scruton, who died in 2020.

The foundation has received £512,500 from the Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC), a Hungarian private education institution with close ties to Viktor Orbán’s government. The Roger Scruton Legacy Foundation in turn funds the Cambridge Scruton Society, which was founded by two of Orr’s postgraduate students.

A crowd of (probably) fighting-age men are waddling along or milling round near a road, hoping to impress nearby drivers.
