You must pledge to undo whatever legal status is granted to the Boriswave, up to and including revoking citizenship, and ensure that they return home.
We are beyond the point of tinkering or going 'well everyone here that can stay, but we're changing the rules going forward'.
Thank you...

This decision has now ironically made the Boriswave being reversed more likely. The fact that ILR has now been granted means that denaturalisation is now inevitable.

This makes perfect sense, given the Home Office record of consistently under-estimating migration levels. However, it appears that they're underestimating massively this time. Must read.
I was bored and rebuilt the Home Office earned settlement model with Claude.
I think the Home Office is underestimating Boriswave settlement by around ≈ 400,000 and that around 2 million migrants will settle without any changes to indefinite leave to remain, as opposed to 1.6 million in the Home Office central scenario.

Bear in mind that this is exactly the CARICOM plan that will eventually lead to the full payment of reparations worth tens of trillions of pounds. It is literally the playbook whereby recognition of the moral weight of the matter is followed by an admission of guilt followed by an apology followed by greater aid directed toward these countries followed by engagement in structured dialogue on the matter followed by agreements followed by greater recognition of the national role and so on and so forth.
The process has been designed as a ratchet so that each individual turn is small and reasonable, but provides both a basis and a justification for the next step. If you admit that you were involved, it's easy to say sorry, at which stage it's easy to say that yes, we should do more for these countries, after which it's easy to say that we really ought to engage in a structured discussion on the matter, after which it's easy to say that the conclusions of these discussions must matter, of course and so on. It also makes it more difficult for future governments to ever back away. "But you apologised... you recognised the issue... we were in discussions to which you agreed and signed off on the conclusion..." and so on and so forth. Any attempts by future governments to row back then have real diplomatic consequences beyond the Caribbean.
Mr Burnham's promise of greater assistance won't lead to an end to reparation claims. And this is not true because 'it's a grift', but because the whole process is designed to go this way.
Andy Burnham is open to increasing financial assistance for Commonwealth countries to help atone for Britain’s role in the slave trade

This approach will result in denaturalisations becoming mainstream. We cannot be expected to tolerate this abuse from the British state and not seek to undo it. If the regime did not want denaturalisation to be on the table, they should not have pushed the system beyond breaking point.
The Labour government has been coasting on reduced migration due to reforms that were largely put in place before they got into office. Flows (those coming) never actually got that low but there was a lower net figure due to EU migrants leaving. Stocks (those here) were never really tackled. Now they are opening the gates again. What's more, they are doing so with a focus on refugees, the group with the worst fiscal outcomes and a strong correlation with crime (the government could clear up whether they really are more criminal but is fighting in the courts to stop that data coming out, so draw your own conclusions). All of these groups (low wage and refugees) are amongst those most likely to seek British citizenship, not to mention Labour giving up on blocking the Boriswave from settling. That will push our creaking citizenship system over the edge and lead to calls for citizenship revocation in future. Most of these migrants will come from outside the West, meaning higher levels of chain migration in future. Instead of choosing moderation, they have doubled down on mass migration.

This is a bad argument; we shouldn’t pay anything, even if we can “afford” it.

The country that brought industry, democracy, penicillin, built railways, spent blood & treasure ending the global slave trade, defeated the Nazis and provided endless welfare to the developing world is now being asked for reparations.
The ledger runs the other way.

This isn't about slavery at all
If it was, these campaigners would be fighting for the millions of Africans in MODERN slavery
This is a cash grab by the Caribbean and an attack on Britain & The West by activists
No one today is a victim of Britain's slave trade

Say what you like about Andy Burnham, but I think he's the best Prime Minister Barbados has ever had

Very important intervention. We must end the farce of Commonwealth voting.
British elections for British people.
In a Critic exclusive, @DavidGHFrost explains why he is proposing to end Commonwealth voting rights

I.e. he wants to increase it but won't say that
He just opens his mouth and lies pop out
Andy Burnham tells @DanielHewittITV it is 'difficult to say' whether legal migration is too high or low itv.com/news/2026-10-30/andy…

That was not all you said.
You fetishised Sikhs for “believ[ing] in this country a lot more than some of the people to the right of Reform” because they campaigned alongside you and because they closed ranks against Pakistani Muslims in defence of their own tribe.
Whites are forbidden the same in-group preferences. If we ever do show them, we get smeared as “extreme” by people like you.

Immigration has been an absolute disaster for the UK
Skilled migrants ‘contribute billions more to UK than they cost’ thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…
Yep. This is the tactic, in the British state's malicious desire to give away taxpayer money. They will simply not call it reparations.
Any deal that disadvantages us and advantages the other side, with these countries, is a form of reparations (and doesn't even qualify as a 'deal').
These ARE the reparations.
Anyone who’s actually read the CARICOM 10-point plan for reparatory justice will recognise that these are the steps the reparatory justice movement is demanding.
Point 1 is “A full and formal apology”, which Andy Burnham has already stated he’s open to.
Investment in healthcare comes under Point 5, “Remedying the health crisis”. Investment in education under Point 6 “Capacity building and development through education”.
Andy Burnham, either through ignorance because, as ever, he isn’t across the detail or by stealth because he can sneak it through, is opening the door to fulfilling demands for reparations whilst the media is distracted by what it *thinks* reparations are, rather than what they *actually* are.
How exactly does the regime expect people to pay double tax in a single year?
Not to mention the hated Making Tax Digital and the additional administrative burden of everything.
Self employed to face new cash flow burdens as Chancellor plans to take their tax in advance every month bit.ly/4yMr6hn so much for cutting unnecessary form filling!
