Most people do not want uncontrolled immigration -
Probably because a lot of the electorate don't want it and providing an easy legal path will only encourage more to come. And despite what you say about their motivations, it is still a choice: they are not in mortal danger in France.
Charity begins at home.

How do you know?
How do you know?
So all asylum seekers should go to France. How would that work exactly?
Don't pretend to be charitable Stevo, it doesn't suit you.

I'd say this may backfire on Reform.
Their supporters not happy at the idea of building detention centres....

Yes, let's elect the bloke who pockets £5mn from a foreign-resident crypto boss without declaring it, cos... well, over to you, Telegraph with your deeply weird obsession, and a photo that's nine months old.

It is odd how standards are applied
There was less than a week between outrage at Hannah Spencer for suggesting MPs shouidn't drink at work, to outrage at Angela Rayner for drinking at work.

Hang on, they’re missing the big picture. Surely that’s evidence of her arriving in the UK on a small boat and she should be deported?

Haha, Guardian reporting on Le Monde asking Farage's partner about the Clacton house. It's come to something when the French press are scrutinising Farage more than the UK press.
https://www.theguardian.com/politic...firm-house-constituency-clacton-laure-ferrari
"In an interview with French publication Le Monde, Ferrari was questioned over revelations in the Guardian that she had purchased a house in her name in Clacton after Farage had claimed to be the buyer.
Farage initially said the arrangement was for “security” reasons. Some months later, he told reporters that Ferrari came from “a very wealthy French family and can afford it” – although a subsequent BBC investigation raised further questions about the size of her family’s alleged wealth.
Quizzed by Le Monde on the issue, the publication said she “dodged” the question. When asked if she bought the property thanks to a family inheritance, she said: “Yes and no, that would be a very large inheritance … There’s more than one way to pay for a house.”
“I can’t say how much my grandmother gave, that’s my business,” Ferrari added. “The main thing is that I paid all the taxes, there was no tax evasion, and the house is in my name.”

That'd just the icing on the cake. Although things don't seem to be going too well for your favourite leftie populist party just now.

Have a look at the stance that the major parties are taking re: immigration; even Labour is trying to at least look tough on the issue as they figure that if they don't do something about it then Reform will likely replace them in government come the next GE. Doing what you want will make that more likely, so careful what you wish for.
I didn't say all immigrants should go to France but that's where they nearly all come from and they are safe there.
And trying to play the 'I'm a leftie so I'm more charitable than you' card doesn't win you arguments.

Not strictly true but it does tend to go to the party rather than individuals. Lord David Sainsbury is a regular Labour donor and there are a number of multi-millionaires such as Gary Lubner, Lord Alli, Martin Taylor, Dale Vince etc who donate substantial sums.

The unions also fund Labour. Let's face it, there's no such thing as a free lunch and all the parties - and many charities and institutions - are compromised by their reliance on their major donors.
