The policy will only prevent those who come over in boats from seeking asylum and ensuring that people are in a safe environment until their asylum claim is assessed.

All the government policy will do is ensure that people arriving will be more likely to fall into the hands of organised criminals, people smugglers, modern slavery, and sexual exploitation.

the numbers will most likely still be their, but will not exist in any official capacity, so the tories will wave the numbers around and claim how successful their policy is.

Of course those who are actively seeking asylum and granted refugee status will be those who will be blamed from any increase in the crime rate through organised gangs who exploit undocumented arrivals that slip below the system.

This makes me wonder where the torys' 'dark money' comes from.
