    Imagine using that money to teach people our language and culture so we then have productive members of society instead of the equivalent of a prisoner costing the country £50k a year each.

    There are parts of the UK where you could get an entire house for that.

      It’s ridiculous. We are at a point where our government seems to wilfully design policy to be cruel, but also lacks the competence to actually accomplish them.
