The system is overwhelmed by unprecedented numbers of arrivals and a system that is too generous as to appeals. There is also a separate problem of how difficult it is to deport people that have exhausted their appeal rights and have no right to be here.
More resources would help, but this has to be balanced against other spending needs.
It's overwhelmed because of the shitshow service that the Tories now provide after more than a decade of mismanagement, austerity and incompetance.
You can say the same thing about pretty much every part of the UK. The UK now in my opinion is a failed state. We have a non-functioning law system; The prisons, courts and probation services are on their knees, the Police, fire, ambulance and NHS services are on their knees. Mental health services have mostly been decimated, we have far more homeless and helpless people than we've ever had, our schools, colleges and councils are crumbling and in every single area of life across the board - across the divide and across communities the UK has been fucked by the Tories in every way they can for quick fixes, mates favours and outright corruption.
And you're blaming some lad on a boat with his kid for all that shite? You're off your fucking chump mate.
