Way, will be much, much higher. The fact is, theyve legged it, theyre on the run and theyre out committing. Goodness only knows what kind of crimes. But thats not the official line. Do thats not the official line. Do you want to know what the official line is . So do we now know whats happened to the remainders who have no legal basis on which to still be in the United Kingdom . The home office, through our different mechanisms of tracing people are continuing to seek to trace them. So when people do disengage, and i think thats a more accurate word than gone missing, when people do disengage from us, we respond to that. Us, we respond to that. Theyve not disengaged. Mr cleverly , the vast majority of cleverly, the vast majority of them had their claims rejected and then ran off because were not deporting them quickly, and theyre not going to just sit there and wait for you to come and get them in a few years time of the 21,000 missing migrants, almost 9500 of them were found to have vanished from their last known addresses between january and september last year alone. No wonder the Prime Minister is saying hes clearing the backlog. Should i tell you how easy it is to lose these people if they dont turn up for an interview twice, they change their phone number. They dont fill in a questionnaire. Twice they move address or they change their lawyer without informing the home office. Thats it. Is it any wonder, though, when youve got these Civil Service chuckle brothers running the show behind the scenes . What foreign offenders aside and albanians aside, just forget about those numbers. How many people travelling on small boats has been refused asylum , have been sent to a asylum, have been sent to a third country or back to their own country of the past three years . I dont think we have. I dont think we have. I dont think we have. I dont think well write to the committee with those numbers, mr anderson. Thats quite thats staggering. Thats actually very so okay, then lets do for the last year , i dont have a number last year, i dont have a number for non albanian families. For non albanian families. Perhaps they might be able to help you. Lets do last week then. Lets do last week then. Lets do last week then. Do we have any figures about anything . Anything . Thats simon ridley and matthew rycroft. There mr ridley is the second permanent secretary, a career Civil Servant with absolutely no chance of ever getting sacked , chance of ever getting sacked, whose job is leading the migration and border system. Mr rycroft, the permanent secretary to the home office, is also the Civil Service race champion back of the net. I suppose thats one way of getting the diversity quotas up. Mr rycroft, ridley and rycroft, the worlds worst law firm. Thats what it sounds like. Doesnt it know when double the fee, the Civil Service chuckle brothers starring in the benny hill sketch that is our attempt to keep track of Illegal Immigrants who are on the run. This 21,000 missing figure is likely much higher, because apparently that number only includes the main applicant in each family and does not include spouses, children or other dependents. So the government doesnt need any help endangering our lives. But now weve got this lot popping up the anti raid group. So they come with a picture of an immigration van on fire with smashed windows, a link to a Whatsapp Group to get people to help you stop an immigration unit. Numbers. Theyre for Legal Services as well. So look, the next time this happens, all right. Where an illegal immigrant stabs a woman to death with a meat skewer in front of her children. I hope those people are very happy. The fact people are very happy. The fact is, the home office couldnt catch a cold. Let alone an illegal immigrant. Lets get the thoughts of my panel this evening. I am joined by columnist and political commentator Patrick Oflynn. Ive got the deputy chairman of the conservative party, jonathan gullace, an author and broadcaster. Amy nicholl turner, jonathan, theyre on the run, arent they . Well, look, patrick, its slightly more complicated than what has been described. I think its important to understand that some of these people are Asylum Seekers who have left the country, actually gone to places like ireland that weve seen reports of also to other european countries. Others have withdrawn their application. Some have pursuing other avenues in which to stay. And of course, some have actually restarted the whole process again. So, you know, there is nuance in this, but it does just underline the important fact of why we need to have an effective deterrent in rwanda, which would stop and deter people from unnecessarily choosing to put thousands of poundsin choosing to put thousands of pounds in the hands of smugglers in order to get across to this country illegally. Youve got ridley and rycroft behind the scenes. I mean, what are you watching . Are you watching . Im not here to defend those two, and i and i wont be, to be perfectly frank, i think the answer, the fact they couldnt give an answer to lee anderson at the select committee was utterly appalling. And embarrassing, and shows really contempt for parliament in the sense of they should have been actually coming with all the facts and the figures, and didnt obviously expect any normal questions. I dont didnt obviously expect any normal questions. I dont know normal questions. I dont know what they thought they were going to be able to get away with. Its like the worst version of yes minister playing out before our very eyes. But lets go back to this important point. The Prime Minister has done the deal with france to stop. We know 23,000 vessels crossing the channel last year. Hes done returns, agreements with countries like albania, which saw 93 drop. And once we get rwanda flights off the ground, we will have that world leading deterrent that costs so much money, doesnt it . It will actually cost a drop in the ocean compared to the billions that were spending, which Andrew Jenkins pointed out earlier. And more importantly, once the deterrent is working, well have fewer people attempting to come over here, which means well have less pressure on the nhs, less pressure on the nhs, less pressure on the nhs, less pressure on schools, less pressure on schools, less pressure on schools, less pressure on accommodation, more importantly, less pressure on the home office, who quite frankly, obviously are having to work hard. The point is, unless you decide to deport someone immediately after youve rejected them, they are going to leg it , rejected them, they are going to leg it, arent rejected them, they are going to leg it , arent they . Rejected them, they are going to leg it, arent they . And thats what theyre doing. And we cant deport them, can we . And you know, jonathan says its like the worst episode of yes, minister. Well, im afraid James Cleverly is playing jim hacker, trying to say trying to stick to the Civil Service jargon rather than admit the shambles thats going on. You know, id hoped he he would be a bit cleverer than that, you know, as the name cleverly might suggest. But he seems to have been bought into the institutional failure of the home office. He doesnt inspire me with any confidence. Hes me with any confidence. Hes getting a grip. I think the British Public kind of understand and always expected that people would leg it right, and thered be teething problems. And the key thing is, do we get this . What the Prime Minister recently described as this drumbeat of flights and removals , this remorseless, removals, this remorseless, cumulative deterrent to stop the boats. While theres no sign of the boat stopping at the moment, theyre running ahead of, last yeah theyre running ahead of, last year. Everythings going into reverse. You know, july is, we are told, early july is the key point when this starts. Yes. There are some people going over the border from Northern Ireland to the republic and maybe that shows there could be a deterrent effect. But you know, the British Public have been hearing this for half a decade from the tories and theyre very sceptical. If it doesnt work in july, im afraid youre toast, amy. Does it concern you that weve got at least 21,000 mostly young men on the run somewhere in britain . In britain . Yeah. The reason why it concerns me mainly is because all these people on the whole, arrive with the ambition to participate in our society, and thats an opportunity for them and an opportunity that presumably, you mean take from the welfare state . No, i dont i mean work and contribute to our society , which is the whole society, which is the whole reason theyre here. I dont know why youre smirking because you go on about economic migrants. That would be the reason. Because they want to further their their lives and the drug trade. So you cant make that assumption. I think thatis make that assumption. I think that is absolutely, exactly. They know that. But thats what if you allowed us if you let me finish my point, if you let me weve ever seen. No, it wouldnt for years and years and years weve have been saying the same old arguments about being full, about needing to deter people. About needing to deter people. Its not going to happen. Were the sixth richest country in the world. We know were not. We need to fulfil our responsibilities. Most people will still see asylum in their neighbouring country. Will still see asylum in their neighbouring country. Amy. We neighbouring country. Amy. We take a tiny proportion of Asylum Seekers. Why dont we just admit seekers. Why dont we just admit that these people could be of merit to themselves and to us, instead of constantly wasting wasting money on border force on imagine what they could do in their own country. Just imagine what they could do for their own countries, economies if they stayed there, and all that amazing talent that could, you know, be unleashed. So why those countries to be, you know, fully developed . Or can we just accept the fact that these are predominantly young men in their 20s leaving women and children behind, which shows they really arent leaving a war torn country or caring for their or compassionate and essentially want to come here because we have an nhs, we have a Free Education system. We have obviously a welfare state thats very generous compared to other countries. Search into migration suggests that they dont know about this benefit system before they arrive here. Secondly, who does the research . You have had problems with people putting their children in the boats, but then you also have a problem with people not putting their children in the boats. So im not sure which one you want to. I dont want anyone in any boats. I want no boats. I want to see no boats at the moment. Because. Because of your religious. Because of your rwanda scheme, people are now getting in boats to come back across the channel. So if you dont want people in boats, why is this policy in place . Because they will have a deterrent effect. It has on people. And actually people shouldnt have been choosing to get in boats in the first place. The boats are up if they want to go back on last. If they want. Well, lets lets wait till the end of the year because its a year on year statistic. And actually were 30 down in 2023. And what we were on 2022. And once we get these fights off after the lefty lawyers get out of the way, then we can finally find these people that are missing. This is the thing theyve scratched them off the list. Basically, theyve said, okay, theyre missing. Theyve disengage. All right. So theyre now off the backlog list as far as i can tell, which is probably as i can tell, which is probably a good thing for the Prime Minister. What are they doing to find these people . Well, we had a massive increase in raids that are going in, from the home office, which has actually meant that weve seen a far more people being incarcerated and detained, which is a good thing. The second thing is were actually increasing our detention capacity now. 2200 spaces and more to still come, which is again, the right thing to do because the Prime Minister has made it clear if you come here illegally, you will be detained, then you will be deported. And of course, once we get the rwanda up and going, rwanda scheme up and going, youll people will see that happening quickly, which happening very quickly, which will as it is the will be a positive as it is the deterrent. So there are things that are going on in that way in order to try and catch that. But of course, these organised criminal gangs as well, which are quite complicated. Thats why National Crime agency why the National Crime agency has million has received about 800 million additional to work, not additional funding to work, not just in this country, but also with our partners in europe to make sure we tackle the gangs at source, which is going have source, which is going to have a big impact well. Yeah this is big impact as well. Yeah this is a Massive National security issue that we have at least 20,000 in the last five years on the run. Goodness knows where and when. People, especially women, by the way, say, okay, youre going to plonk an asylum hotel or a Processing Centre in my town or in my housing estate, which has happened. They have got every right to be scared, havent they . This is becoming a massive issue with women in britain who are finally feeling free to begin to talk about it, because people like you are putting in freedom of information requests. Theyre not being answered about Asylum Seekers and sexual offending, but its a perfectly reasonable hypothesis to think if you bring in tens of thousands of young men from countries which are misogynistic, which are pre feminist, who have which
