Why not just tattoo their asylum application number on their forearm?...

Maybe we could also have barracks for them with bunk beds and all ?
And while they are there doing nothing they could work a bit.

We are onto something.

2025 the tories will propose forced labor under some "help them immigrate into the labor market and cover some of the costs the asylum seekers are causing to the british poor" bullshit.

Here you read it first.

Civil service guarantees citizenship!

Please, gentlemen. We live in modern times.

The tag should be able to automatically shock them into submission if they move too far from where they should stay, if they resist or if a copper doesn't like their face. It should be strong enough to leave mental scars, but not enough to leave lasting physical damage, so police can abuse without risking upsetting anyone because too many of them died.

Let's show them a free and democratic culture, lads

There is unfortunately no further description of the electronic tags in the article. But there is another article on Washington Post from more than a year ago:

Britain will electronically tag some asylum seekers with GPS devices (Published June 18, 2022)

Under the monitoring trial, people fitted with the location-tracking device will be required to report regularly and in person to immigration centers or police stations.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/06/18/britain-electronic-tagging-migrants-asylum-seekers/

Back then it was a trial and now it seems to get a more widespread support. And it's not even for identification but a 24/7 GPS tracking device? Adding electronic tracking devices to migrants makes them join ranks with convicted criminals with corresponding court order.

Maybe stitch something to their jackets. I dunno, a star maybe?

Politicians should be fitted with electronic tags.

I’d settle for explosive collars.

Get fucked uk

[-] Janis@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago

this brexit thing seems to have worked really well, hasnt it? not enough workers, still hating brown people..who to blame now?

[-] squaresinger@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago

When the identification number tattoo in the neck is too oldschool or something...

That means, we are one election cycle away from forced labour and another from gassing them.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


While the preferred solution is to increase the number of detention places, electronic tagging has been mooted, as has cutting off financial allowances to someone who fails to report regularly to the Home Office, the Times cited a source from the department as saying.

The source said: “Tagging has always been something that the Home Office has been keen on and is the preferred option to withdrawing financial support, which would be legally difficult as migrants would be at risk of being left destitute.”

Home Office data this week showed that Channel crossings topped 19,000 for the year so far, despite Rishi Sunak’s pledge to “stop the boats”.

Last week the UNHCR, the refugee agency that helps the UK government improve its asylum system, praised a Home Office-funded scheme in Bedfordshire, which it found cut the cost of accommodating people by more than half when compared with placing them in detention.

The Home Office under Braverman, however, is intent on overseeing a huge increase in its detention capacity, which experts estimate will cost billions.

Braverman told parliament she intended to pursue “a programme of increasing immigration-detention capacity”, which reportedly includes disused RAF bases and barges.


The original article contains 401 words, the summary contains 195 words. Saved 51%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
