They do, it's true. Partly because of a relentless political/media narrative over the last 20 years that has done nothing but paint asylum seekers/wannabe immigrants as criminals, terrorists, opportunists, all aided by people traffickers.
yep. No doubt people like Braverman get a warm feeling every time the 'illegal immigrants' are front page news in the daily mail but there's got to be a tipping point where the story is that they (the gov) are utterly failing to manage the problem that they keep pointing to.
Labour, obviously. And the EU of course
Having a work phone and a work laptop is pretty standard tbf.
It's a licence to print money all round. Actual houses that asylum seekers are housed in (not hotels) are manifestly owned by slum landlords and the standard of repair of some of the houses is barely in compliance with H&S. Landlords are very often reluctant to pay for necessary repairs. All heating and electricity is paid for by the Home Office whilst the tenants get £40.85 p/w subsistence. Meanwhile a popular misconception peddled by the rightwing press amongst others is that they are all freeloaders. In my personal experience pretty much every asylum seeker I have met is desperate to legally work and support themselves and yet they cannot. This is an inconvenient truth in how the asylum system in the UK is actually broken,28 million pounds of profit this year, Clearspring Limited, the private company who the Home Office pays to sort out accommodation including hotels for asylum seekers. Thats their profit, taken home by them as dividends, not turnover.
Firm managing hotels for UK asylum seekers posts bumper profits
Three directors of Clearsprings Ready Homes share dividends of almost £28m, as profits rise sixfolduk.news.yahoo.com
You only have to look at the frothing gammons on Twitter to see exactly which gallery she's playing to. It's got quite tedious, wading through the Farage wannabes (not to mention the gammon frog himself), plus all the usual Reform/Brexit/racist party hangers-on, all cheerleading the execrable Home Secretary.I'm guessing that there will come a time when Braverman falls on her sword and says she has become a distraction
Meanwhile, she is playing to a certain crowd who think we are being invaded and they will be lapping it up - and then get angry when she departs

how many of them know the full details?In case you werent feeling depressed enough here's a survey from yesterday showing that three quarters of conservative voters are (to varying degrees) supportive of the Rwanda plan. Its not just 'frothing gammons'.

what percentage of them would be interested?
Quite a few given that many don't seem to know that we are bringing back refugees from rwanda as part of the deal.
What refugees? Any war in particular?
I've no idea. But we are taking people from Rwanda and resettling them here. I would assume these are people Rwanda doesn't want to process for some reason. Refugees or economic migrants or whatever.

look at the columns for 'conservative voters' & 'leave voters' , thats where you get 3/4 in favour and thats who Braverman and co are trying to impress.
There was a famous Norwegian boogeyman Kemi badenach, Oslo champion disco dancer 1977-80 but I think you mean bogeyman as in Fungus the. Ht to DaveCinzano
Gardner's response almost makes it seem like the question was one of those softball ones designed to simply introduce the subject and allow the speaker to make a speech.
