Former Tory Prime Minister Theresa May has launched a vicious attack on what she calls “Suella Braverman’s cruel immigration plans” – which she warned will leave slavery victims trapped forever.
The former Tory Prime Minister said the Home Secretary’s measures will prevent traffickers being prosecuted and condemn innocent people to a life of misery. In a scathing intervention, May trashed Braverman’s bid to withdraw protection under slavery laws to people migrant-wannabes who arrive in the UK illegally.
Sky News The behavior of people arriving in the UK on small boats is “at odds with British values”, the Home Secretary has claimed. She also claimed criminality was “very closely linked” to their arrival, saying: “We see that there are many people coming here illegally who are then getting involved in drugs, violent crime, and prostitution.
Speaking exclusively to Sky News, Suella Braverman said people making the dangerous Channel crossing – who include asylum seekers – were “behaving unacceptably” by “breaking our rules” and “abusing the generosity of the British people”.
Conservative ministers have doubled down on their attacks on small boat Muslim migrants – accusing those arriving from across the English Channel of being “asylum shoppers” as they are sailing from France after having passed through many other safe countries. The Illegal Migration Bill will change the law so people who arrive in the UK illegally will be detained and then promptly removed, either to their home country or a safe third country such as Rwanda.
Despite the anger provoked by the act, Tory MPs backed its third reading in the Commons with a majority of 289-230.

Britain did it’s part between 1807 and 1865 to fight an end slavery. That fight cost Brits huge amounts of money and many lives.
The country has done it’s bit, there is no reason to do more and it is none of Britain’s business if victims of slavery are “trapped” in their own countries. Nor does Britain have any duty – legal or moral – to assist!

Macron, Merkel, May, no kids. May had none, because she was very promiscuous as a young woman. No eggs were left for her nice-guy husband. Now she, like mama Merkel, would like to keep some muz as pets.

The real slaves are the British people. To their Muslim masters.

Theresa May is a humongous POS. Too bad she can’t be flushed down the toilet. Suella Braverman’s bravery should be praised!
