A sort oft audience The magazine’s Annual Membership Award, the most fashionable shindig on the political calendar, one of which is Nadhim Zahawi. When he commented in his acceptance speech: “A boy from Iraq came to these coasts and became Secretary of State at the age of 11 when he couldn’t speak English. How did he end up being an educated country? This is the greatest country in the world, I Friends.”
On the same day, just a few hours ago, at least 27 souls, including a pregnant woman and several children, tried to reach these shores, but they died in the end.Not as lucky as Mr. Zahavi, they and their dreams of living a better life in “the greatest country in the world” are all overwhelmed because they are taking risks Treacherous ferry From the northern coast of France to the southern coast of England. We will never know whether future cabinet ministers will be among them.
Even after that tragedy, more people then squeezed into the fragile spacecraft and tried to pass through the dangerous passage. If they think they have a better choice, then in winter, no one will try to sail in a small boat on the Strait of Dover, the busiest waterway in the world.
There is a dissonance in the government’s perception of refugees. Eager to celebrate success stories of immigrants like Mr. Zahavi, accompanied by a system for managing asylum seekers, which aims to put huge and often dangerous obstacles in the path of anyone who wishes to copy his story. The result is that a regime neither sympathizes with those seeking asylum nor convinces voters that the government has controlled immigration.
There are millions of displaced people on the European border. They are fleeing conflict, poverty and/or persecution, as the Kurdish parents of the Minister of Education did in the early days of Saddam Hussein’s tyranny in Iraq. From the perspective of Greece or Italy, where immigration flows are much larger, the so-called “crisis” in the UK is a relatively mild challenge. The number of people crossing the dangerous passage of the strait has increased dramatically, Over 1,000 Land ashore a day earlier in November, but it is important to figure out why. The legal way to enter the UK has been closed, and the establishment of safer ways, such as allowing asylum in the British embassy, is an abomination to the government. Even if so-called binding promises were made to refugees, these promises have been trampled on. When the Afghans retreated from Kabul, they announced a resettlement plan for Afghans fleeing the murderous Taliban. The Prime Minister saw this as a noble example of Britain’s support for those Afghans to whom we have a moral obligation.He told a emergency meeting In August, the Speaker of the House of Commons: “We will support these people in coming to this country… to develop a new, customized settlement plan that focuses on the most vulnerable.” Shamefully, the plan was more than three years after Mr. Johnson’s first hype. The month has not been implemented, forcing more desperate people to engage in life-threatening gambling.
It is not so much the number of people trying to cross the English Channel, as it is their popularity that turned this into a political crisis. People go to the UK at all risks, and this situation appears in the press bulletin every day, which makes this problem very prominent. Even before the tragedy in the Straits and the ensuing hostile exchange of accusations between London and Paris, Conservative MPs were shocked by the number of emails and posts they received. For liberal humanitarian voters, the deaths in the English Channel reinforced the belief that Britain’s attitude towards refugees is ruthless. For voters who are mainly concerned that the government knows what they are doing, questioning the basic abilities of this person is another reason. For those who see refugees at sea as invaders, this is the core constituency of the Brexit vote, making Mr. Johnson the place it is today, which exposes the government to charges of failing to “regain control” of the country. boundary.
The latter group upsets No. 10 the most. Nigel Farage would never see a problem without wanting to make it more harmful, and he threatened to make a comeback again. Just because he already has more than Frank Sinatra doesn’t mean he won’t do it again. The Conservative Party strategists are trembling that the ghost of beer has built a new vehicle for his self and divided most of the right-wing votes. For months, the Prime Minister has been angry that Pritty Patel failed to “catch” this issue. In turn, the Minister of the Interior has been accusing the French. They shouldn’t put this matter on the individual, because she also blamed her officials and legal counsel. Her efforts to transfer blame to other places no longer cooperate with her party. When the Secretary of the Interior appeared in the House of Commons, the Conservative MPs’ most intense contributions came from people who were former members of her fan club.
A veteran of the Conservative Party commented: “The problem is that all the political pressure Boris faces comes from the desperate and unrealistic critics of the right wing of our party. They say’send them back.’ This will bring Boris and Pritty is heading in the completely wrong direction, because it will only increase France’s stubbornness and make it harder to resolve.”
If there was a simple remedy, it would have been adopted long ago, but right-wing populists claim that simple solutions to complex problems are an impulse.Ms. Patel has Promoted this idea Adopting a “backward” policy, ordering the Coast Guard and the Navy to force the ship to return to the French side of the strait. This is an instruction that no captain would follow, and it is even more so now because of fear of violating maritime laws and capsizing ships. Usually, sailors don’t like to drown people. It has also been repeatedly suggested that the processing of asylum seekers can be subcontracted to other distant countries.It has recently been reported that the government is negotiating with Albania and that the foreign minister Dismiss the claim As “completely fake”.
France is the country that Britain needs to talk to most. Without cooperation, the plight of refugees and public confidence in immigration management will not improve. Unfortunately, the terrible relationship between Britain and France is one of the most unknown secrets in diplomacy. The fisheries and trade rules disputes related to Brexit have been complicated by Britain’s massive involvement in the submarine trade between the United States and Australia, which has made the French feel insulted and humiliated.British Minister accuses Emmanuel Macron Before next year’s presidential election, he will strengthen his nationalist rhetoric to please his domestic audience.
This makes sense, but what were the British ministers doing before our last election? They are still working hard. Although rude, they will backfire and evade their responsibilities by attacking the French. Before Mr. Johnson sent a three-page letter to Mr. Macron, the souls of the dead in the strait were barely closed, including a series of consciously provocative assertions and demands that he knew the French would not accept.Publication of Letter on twitterEven before the French president saw it, he confirmed that this was not a sincere attempt to find common ground with Paris, but a crazy gesture of trying to please the right-wing media and appease the backbenchers of the Conservative Party. “At the best of times, the French are often in a difficult situation,” said a former Conservative Party cabinet minister. “It is foolish to seduce the French when we need their help.” Mr. Macron retorted that serious leaders would not communicate with each other on serious issues “through our public tweets and letters.” French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin canceled the meeting that Ms. Patel will be holding today. He and colleagues from Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium participated in the meeting. Any effort in the current crisis is of utmost importance.
This points to an obvious and tragic irony. Brexit, sold under the slogan “Recover control”, has made Britain’s borders more difficult to control. Our country is more dependent on cooperation with European neighbors, and these neighboring countries have much less motivation for cooperation. There will be an empty chair, where Britain should sit. Before more people die in the icy waters of the Strait, childish scoring and false gestures must be stopped.
