Many UK military families have no heat or hot water, while the government continues to host illegal migrants in plush hotels, at the cost to taxpayers of $8.5 million USD a day and rising. The UK is apparently running out of options. Britain is reportedly bracing for over 1,000,000 migrants this year. The latest effort of the British government to do something about this, or appear to do something about it, is a deal with Turkey to stop illegals, although even critics in Turkey are complaining about it. Turkish opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu said: “No matter how much it is packed with fancy words, it is someone else’s intervention in our internal system. Who is governing Turkey?”
One could ask the opposite question: who is looking out for Britain’s interests? This is a more pertinent question, especially in light of the fact that the deal will likely end up benefiting Turkey and not the UK, which has made many attempts to stop the flow of illegal (mostly Muslim) migrants into the country via the English Channel. All of these attempts have failed.
In June, the Guardian reported that Britain handed over more than £3m (3.8 million USD) to Turkey to help the Turks build border forces, so as to stop illegals reaching the UK. And that wasn’t all that British taxpayers forked over to Turkey. In 2019, “£14,000 was given to Turkish police and coastguard for maritime border security training… That figure rose to £425,000 in 2021-22 for training and equipment and up to £3m this year for ‘return and reintegration assistance.’”
Last year, the UK government paid tens of millions of pounds to France to stop boat migrants, adding to hundreds of millions that have been paid since 2015. Then it was discovered that the French navy was escorting illegal Muslim migrants across the English Channel. Then there was the money, time and resources that went into the failed Rwanda migrant resettlement scheme. Britain has made it lucrative for foreign countries to benefit from the migrant invasion of Britain. And the chief beneficiaries are the migrants themselves.
The deal with Turkey appears to be yet another failed, costly promise by the UK government to stop illegals, and to make it look as if efforts were being made. How about setting up blockades, border fences, security forces and even use the military to stop the breach of the UK’s borders?
Not only is the economic cost to British taxpayers unsustainable, but national security is increasingly threatened.
“Turkish Opposition Criticises Deal to Tackle Flow of Migrants to Britain,” by Hamdi Firat Buyuk, Balkan Insight, August 11, 2023:
Turkey’s main opposition Republican People’s Party, CHP leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu on Thursday described the new deal between the Turkish and British governments to curb illegal migration to the UK as “seriously problematic”.
“No matter how much it is packed with fancy words, it is someone else’s intervention in our internal system. Who is governing Turkey?” Kilicdaroglu asked.
The migration deal announced by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak aims to cut migrant flows from Turkey, which has become one of the major transit points for migrants and refugees.
Sunak has repeatedly vowed to reduce the number of migrants crossing the English Channel in small boats from France to reach the UK, which has become a major political issue in Britain.
“Today, we’ve secured a new agreement with Turkey to: Disrupt small boat supply chains; tackle organised immigration crime; increase intelligence sharing,” Sunak wrote on Twitter on August 9.
British Home Secretary Suella Braverman said that Ankara and London will conduct joint police and intelligence operations in Turkey aiming “to smash the people-smuggling gangs and stop boats”.
However, the Turkish government has so far said nothing about the deal announced by Sunak…..

Can’t trust ‘them’,period,even the non-violent ones.
Fitna says
Turkey is run by a Muslim tyrant…they all share the same goal of conquering non-Muslims. Why would they help us stop the migrant flows? Ofc they pocket the money the UK gives them and complain about the challenges they face and do nothing.
The only solution is for European nations to unite against this invasion and work together to stop the Muslims from invading, rather than passing the buck to each other.
Start with warnings, that you’re no longer accepting migrants…then move onto tougher measures including sending the navy after the boats and sinking them if they have to. It’ll make international news, but it will also scare other Muslims from trying to invade.
They’re splurging taxpayers money like its theirs to spend however they like and as if its an endless supply. Plus as the article pointed out, Brits are suffering without heat/hot water, but the invaders are treated like royalty.
Let’s not forget all the homeless dying on the streets. Nothing could be sicker than this situation and the fault lies with weak, self-serving leaders. I think the UK and France need a Revolution and throw out the rich elites who’ve proven they’re too incompetent to be in power.
overman says
Yes. The UK needs to ditch all the outdated asylum laws and simply deport all illegal [muslim] immigrants. And stop splashing out hundreds of millions to the french government.
The latest nonsense with these economic invaders is that their not satisfied with being accomodated in luxury 5 star hotels; they now want free houses instead!!
Fitna says
Indeed Overman…nothing is ever good enough for those ingrates…imagine so-called refugees making demands for better accommodations when they have better housing than the native brits…and the elites cater to them.
Hopefully we’ll get right-wing anti-Islam, anti-migrant parties in power over the coming years…otherwise Europe and maybe the West are done and our future is either Islamification or civil war and I prefer the latter…no way will I bow to this evil, insane, backwards death cult.
overman says
Yes fitna. The only anti-islam politician i’m aware of is Anne-marie waters. She’s about to become an MP, i believe [if elected]. She certainly talks a lot of sense and is a great admirer of Robert Spencer.
James Lincoln says
Fitna says,
“…then move onto tougher measures including sending the navy after the boats and sinking them if they have to.”
Perhaps opt for permanently confiscating their boats and then forcibly returning the migrants to their country of origin.
Fitna says
Agreed James, anything that works to remove them from our countries.
GreekEmpress says
Any agreement with Turkey isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.
Erdogan just blackmails the UK and EU and keeps the flow of migrants coming.
Erdogan’s form of jizya—
࿗Infidel࿘ says
So Britain getting Turkey to agree on controlling how many people they send to London is Britain controlling Turkey? This Turkish oppo is as Orwellian as Erdogan
Gurek says
+1
They all terrorize the remaining Christians and other non-Muslims in that shitty country.
Aum says
Aim should be to agree a deal to return the illegals, anything else is not going to solve the problem.
James C.A. Reid says
So now we’ll have Politicians shuffling sheets of paper around to make this illegality legal! . They’ll congratulate themselves on “a job well done” & give each other awards etc. What an utter disgrace! This is the destruction of Europe!!
Gurek says
The so-called Turkish opposition remains silent and even approves attacks aganist non-Muslims in that shit hole of a country Turkey…
