Who said the Tories don't have a plan?

On the contrary, they are going to get big vans to drive around with painted adverts, saying "IN THE UK ILLEGALLY? GO HOME OR FACE ARREST".

The ads also feature a text number illegals can message "to arrange a return". ("Text HOME to 78070"icon_wink.gif. Wonder how many unsuspecting lads in boozers will have their mates momentarily borrowing their phones for a wheeze?

Job done!

(BTW I rldidn't make this uprl)

I hope that there's a scandal and the driver of the van gets busted for being an illegal immigrant.

Or illegal immigrants nick the van, change the sign so it'd made useless and drive around doing work.

That's not scraping the barrel. It's like a junkie who's dropped his gear down the toilet, flushed the toilet and then drank the water hoping for whatever was left.

Its a plan.

Its not a very good one but its a plan, and later on in the year there will be some statistics to show that millions of them rang the number and have now left the country.

The compliant newspapers will think its wonderful and the idea will be rolled out to cover other things like disabled people who haven't been called in for their back to work interview yet "Disabled Illegally ? Go to work or face arrest".

"Stealing a living as a politician? Resign and go home, or face arrest"

Right now, the Daily Mail is preparing an FOI request to be submitted in six months time asking how much these free flights for illegal immigrants are costing hard working UK families.

Could this approach be used to tackle the porn problem as well?

If they drove around in a big van with "DON'T WATCH PORN" written on it would that not be an effective way of keeping our kids from being exposed to early sexualisation.

Our esteemed leader is so proud of having introduced it he's now saying he wants to export it to the rest of the world! I kid you not. So, we're now exporting inmigrants and gay marriage (but apparently not married gays, yet). That must be what he meant by export lead recovery. We're going to win the global race with such strong leadership on the big issues of the era.

I think a better approach would be to use actual porn website names on the big van. So it would read "DON'T WATCH PORN ON <website name>"
That'll stop kids immediately looking it up.

rlNigel Farage declares the adverts "nasty".rl

I could be wrong but I'm not convinced by Farage's reaction.
It seems to me that he's merely miffed that the Tories are stealing his thunder to bring the swivel-eyes back into the fold.
Indeed, I don't think the whole ad-on-a-van thing is actually meant to "work" much beyond being seen to be doing something, any lack of effect can be massaged away by highlighting voluntary departures that could well have happened anyway.

''[iThis is just a political advertising stunt that differs little from the Conservative Party election campaign messages. This is exactly the thing right wing racist and fascist organisations such as the BNP, EDL, EVL and others feed off and use to stir up racial tension and hatred in these very same London boroughs.[/i PCS.

Sad that Nu-Labour haven't got the goonards to come out and say something similar.

If EDL, or whoever, drove around the area with a bullhorn shouting "illegal immigrants go home", what would be the essential difference?

Oh, I agree on both counts.

On the latter point, it's little different to Cameron's dogwhistle 'politics' on porn.

The haircuts.
Instead of the Eton flop it would be the pitbull crop.
