This is not a serious argument. If they have assets, they will sell them to make settling here possible without government help. But the aim here is to strip asylum seekers from the remnants of dignity, so they know that their place is at the very bottom of society. Performative cruelty.

Call me an old cynic but if you confiscated the entire courier e-bike population of London and flogged it second hand, you'd barely have enough to buy a round of fancy coffee. Have you seen the state of repair? Half of them spent the noughties in a Dutch canal.

I don’t think it’s solely focussing on small boats, and probably rightly so as they make up such a tiny number of actual migrants and asylum seekers.

So, not far off...

is there not an article that talks about cars? although unless it's Chitty Chatty Bang Bang I'm unsure how they got that across the channel
