Not that binary is it.
Provision over the last six years was barely adequate.
It's much worse now.

Those words are a literal description of how Braverman, Jenrick their colleagues and their followers in the media are treating this subject.

And while I'm replying to @Pale Rider this comes up.
But no doubt he'll be along shortly to tell us it's actually kind and generous to send a UK born 5yo to Nigeria...

No answers, just insults.
What a waste of space.
It is when it suits, over in the Prince Andrew thread you are liking posts which complain the Queen's contribution to the country is too 'intangible'.
It is a simple question, was this woman treated badly or well?
I can't get an answer from anyone for the simple reason it's obvious she was reasonably well treated, but that doesn't fit the fixed anti-government agenda.
Another asylum story that falls at the final hurdle.
Further, this woman has been in the UK illegally for 19 years, successfully claiming free bed and board, education, and healthcare for all that time.
Despite her circumstances hanging by a thread, a few years ago she thought it a good idea to have a child.
Seems an obvious case to me of deliberately getting pregnant because she judged, correctly, it will be much more difficult to deport the pair of them as a family unit.
She's now - generously - been allowed to appeal for both herself and the child.
I doubt many other countries would be so accommodating of a criminal.
Come on woke lefties, finding asylum stories in which the seeker is genuinely badly treated should be easy.
But it appears not to be.
I wonder why that is.

As I said, beyond performative.

I seem to recall your claiming that you'd like for posts here to be anonymous.
I don't see how that would help you case
Regular repetition of sneering slurs such as 'claptrap' 'bang on' 'head out of backside' and all the rest of it make it very obvious from whom these dismissive diatribe emanate.
Is that how you converse with people on a daily basis??
I pity any of your acquaintance who ever dare to have an opinion that differs from yours.
You keep saying that 'other' people can't cope with an opinion that differs from theirs, but in fact you are 100% describing yourself
Which isn't another 'insult' as you'll probably claim, it's an observation on your own contemptuous way of relating to others who 'think differently'
I wasn't referring to this case in particular, although having to rehome yourself and a child within a week is a ridiculous thing to expect.
I rather doubt you've ever found yourself under that kind of pressure as a parent in a precarious situation, otherwise you might be able to summon up a shred of compassion.
I was referring to the government attitude to this situation overall, which is in turn stoked up and reinforced by nasty populist media reporting.
Narratives that love to have some easy victims to punch down upon, and people to demonise as supposedly 'dragging this country down' rather than really face up to the realities of abysmal mismanagement, and neglect of our so called 'government' on this issue, and many others.
They are the major culprits.
It's the case that some people don't want to acknowledge what is, and has gone on

Wow. Any evidence for this sweeping statement? Sure, currently she is not allowed to work while she appeals her case, due to stupid rules by Government. She states that she *wants* to work. Not only that but you have no idea why she arrived in the UK from Nigeria aged 16. SHe was brought over as a child.
Again. Sweeping statement. You have no idea about the circumstances under which she became pregnant. She may have been under coercive control, she could have been raped. She might just have met someone nice and accidentally got pregnant. I'd guess that it's unlikely she went - "I know - getting pregnant will really help my circumstances about now".
No - the Home Office admitted that they farked up.
She isn't a criminal. She has not committed any crime.
Because generally speaking, we are a nice country with people who genuinely want to help other people. It's the few utter cockwombles like Braverman and Patel that are just vicious racists pushing far right propaganda and claiming to represent "the people" whilst they do fark all to address the ominshambles they have made of the system through systematic defunding.

Is that true?
Nothing in the report linked upthread explains much about how she arrived in the UK although it seems she did so as a minor.
Neither is there anything to say she was getting free bed and board.
She might have been on benefits. Or she might have worked until the requirement to show one is legally in the UK to work bit. That, after all, is how the Windrush scandal caught its victims.

As I've said before you cannot attach great weight to my liking posts or to the emoticon I use.
If I think a post is funny or apt, even if I don't agree, then I might hit like. Similar to a grin or a momentary LOL in a F2F encounter; don't attach too much to it.

It's cute when folk get het up about who likes a post, then deny that they care about likes. Even better when they create an imaginary clique of users based on who likes what.
