JamesR123   0 #13 Posted July 26, 2019 This is a really good idea. Many of these people would have fled unstable and dangerous countries. We (as a country) should do this to go a small way to cleaning up the mess Labour made.  Kicking them all out would be next to impossible and very costly. Therefore a sensible way to deal with the situation is through an amnesty.  That way we can welcome them into the worksforce.  Even bad people can do good things.

Yes, Corbyn’s spending proposals are seen as dangerous and uncosted, whereas Johnson’s are simply him carrying out what he promised Conservative members in the leadership election.  If he is serious about a no deal Brexit, it is going to cost the nation £billions in preparations never mind the £billions the no deal exit would cost when it happens.  He just doesn’t have the money.
