    A competent government is not actually a hard thing to achieve. The problem is you’re assuming that the Conservatives are just incompetent, and while a great deal of them are, the issue is far more that they just don’t want to process the asylums. They want this to be a problem, that way they can rail against the evil terrible foreign people which is what they think their voter base wants.

    This is a Conservative manufactured problem. They have no interest in processing asylums quickly, being slow and ineffective is the intention. It’s not a failing.

      It’s more than that in the UK, unfortunately. Suella Braverman’s father ran British concentration camps in Kenya, she’s trying to restart the family business (funded entirely by the taxpayer), the reason they haven’t been processing people is simply so they have enough occupants for their new camps.
