Priorities: 1) Safeguard the British people: a) stop illegal immigration b) Remove illegal immigrants already here, and foreign national offenders c) rebuild our armed forces and national defence d) Restore British policing 2) Secure a prosperous, growing economy: a) Reduce expenditure - welfare! b) end net-zero madness c) reduce taxation d) reduce regulation and government interference. 3) Deal with those who opened our borders, wrecked our police, decimated our defence, taxed the life out of the economy to fund money wasting fads and quangos, and got us into this almighty mess, prosecuting them and removing honours where we can.

Restore Britain doesn’t think so. Under Restore Britain millions would go.

Tomorrow, Nigel Farage and Reform UK are apparently going to announce something that has long been Restore Britain policy i.e. abolition of the asylum system. Restore Britain has long and often stated we will abolish the Asylum System “Britain is a Christian nation and having an asylum system is a noble goal. However, the one that currently exists here has been so thoroughly abused and undermined that it is no longer fit for purpose, and must be abolished in its entirety. “Furthermore, Britain does not have the money or space to accommodate the destitute of the world at this moment. We have more than enough problems of our own to solve before we even consider taking on thousands more dependents. “The British people must come first.” Reform UK is apparently going to say 90,000 will be deported. Restore Britain says “millions will go”. Restore Britain has pledged to deport everyone who entered the country illegally, all foreign national offenders, all foreign national on benefits or in social housing and all those undermining our rule of law, democracy, culture or way of life. If they don’t integrate, they’ll go. Our Mass Deportations Paper can be seen here. assets.nationbuilder.com/res…

Reform UK is now saying they’d order the Royal Marines to lethal force against people smugglers who resist. I’ve some points to make on this. Not everyone on a dinghy is a people smuggler. Most aren’t and perhaps none are. At the point of interdiction, how is a Marine supposed to tell who is a people smuggler and who is simply an economic migrant oik who’s paid a few grand for a place on the boat? How are you going to board a flimsy, overcrowded dinghy with 4-6 armed marines wearing body armour, helmets etc? If a person on an overcrowded dinghy is identified as a people smuggler and resists, what lethal force is to be used to ensure others in an overcrowded dinghy are not killed. What is the likelihood that using lethal force against someone on an overcrowded dinghy would cause panic amongst its other occupants causing the dinghy to flounder and triggering a mass casualty event? What is it they would have to be resisting? Arrest? Marines are not Constables, don’t have powers of arrest and aren’t trained to use such powers. It is very difficult to see how an order to a Marine to open fire on unarmed civilians could possibly be a lawful command. So, what would be the Rules of Engagement? The Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghan witch hunt cases against our service personnel and veterans are appalling. Obscene. As are some of the prosecutions of armed police officers. We need to end these witch hunts, not encourage them by dancing on the edge - if not well over - the line of legality. These are just some of the concerns I have. Let’s say this madcap scheme goes ahead, just what does Reform UK’s leadership think the repercussions might be? They may say “we don’t care”, but there will be repercussions and those repercussions must be identified beforehand and mitigated. That’s not caution, that’s common sense. What about the possibly 6,000 or so who still come across in trucks on the ferries? The boats can and must be stopped, and Restore Britain @RestoreBritain will stop them. The drivers of illegal immigration are those things that make the U.K. attractive. Remove them all and you remove any incentives to come here. Then people won’t come. The only way to remove every incentive is to detain every person who arrives illegally and to do so securely, behind wire, without exception or appeal, or benefits, and without any freedom to walk our streets. They remain securely detained until they are ejected. At sea we would establish a Coastal Command, consolidating the extensive maritime surveillance and patrolling capabilities we have into one 24/7/365 law enforced presence at sea and in the air to guard our maritime borders, the approaches to them and our waters within them. Coastal Command would be a robust law enforcement agency equipped, trained and ready to meet all peacetime threats to our maritime borders, including but not only illegal immigration, the boats, terrorism not etc. The Command will have its own Maritime Intervention Group - special forces - to conduct high risk operations. In wartime the Command would not draw on and divert scarce military resources, but would reinforce them. In wartime Coastal Command would come under operational command of the Royal Navy to help protect our coastline. We will create a “New Arrivals Detention Estate” in which the invaders will be detained until ejected. The “Restoring Britain’s Maritime Domain” (Coastal Command) paper is already on our website and the “Detain and Deport” paper regarding the detention estate will be there in the next few days. restorebritain.org.uk/papers
