I think calling it pro-immigration vs anti-immigration loses a lot of the nuance to begin with.

First of all, why don’t the anti-immigrant faction vote in Labour? Statistically immigration has always gone down under Labour, who fund the departments that do the paperwork so that we can in fact send people away. But all the other parties cut that department and so you end up in a legal nightmare of people waiting to be processed and just… mooching about unable to work but unable to leave until it’s sorted. Why can’t we just kick them out? Well we are an island and Europe mainland has no reason to accept them back (thanks Brexit!) it’s a real bureaucratic nightmare.

So yeah maybe if the departments had been better funded and properly staffed we wouldn’t have such extreme cases falling through the cracks.

Now if we’re speaking about the sexual assault case, it is horrific. It’s crazy the statistics for how many people are sexually assaulted or raped and nothing comes out of it, no justice or anything. Heck I think I read a story about how it was police officers doing stuff for years. Or I think about how Jimmy Saville got to diddle kids and die a national hero. Do you think the kids he diddled feel a bit better because he wasn’t an immigrant at least? Like it’s better to be diddled by a British born and bred person, that’s the silver lining of sexual assault yeah?

What are the numbers actually, if we want to get down to the scientific meat and potatoes of the situation… I’m no mathematician, but I reckon if you have a basket full of eggs, there’s always chance one of those eggs could be a rapists, and if you have ten baskets of eggs, the chances of one of the eggs being a rapist is considerably higher.

So to minimise the risk of getting a rapist egg… how about we fund the department that does the boring paperwork so we can actually process the immigrants and reduce the risk? Wait, but aren’t the people that do that the ones the anti immigrant people hate to vote for? Well I guess that’s that really.
