      **Cut some fluff:**

      “*Since taking office, ministers have immediately redeployed 1,000 additional people into Immigration Enforcement.*

      *Particular focus has been on targeting car washes, nail bars, supermarkets and construction sites suspected of hiring illegal workers and subjecting them to squalid conditions and illegal working hours at below minimum wage.*

      *More biometric fingerprinting kits will also be deployed to the frontline, allowing officers to check those they apprehend in illegal working raids against police databases on the spot, rather than having to take them to local police stations.*

      **London** – *Nearly 1,000 enforcement visits have been carried out across the capital since the summer. Between July and November, 996 visits resulted in 770 arrests and 462 premises receiving civil penalty notice referrals. This means the employers could face a fine of up to £60,000 per worker if found guilty. This surge in activity led to almost 100 extra visits compared to January to July under the previous government.*

      **East of England** – *Between July and November, 191 visits resulted in 132 arrests and 94 premises receiving civil penalty notice referrals. The surge in activity represents a 26% rise in visits compared to January to July under the previous government.*

      **Midlands** – *Between July and November, 665 visits resulted in 427 arrests and 305 premises receiving civil penalty notice referrals. The surge in activity represents a 13% rise in visits compared to January to July under the previous government.*

      **South-Central England** – *Between July and November, 260 visits resulted in 213 arrests and 165 premises receiving civil penalty notice referrals. The surge in activity represents a 63% rise in visits compared to January to July under the previous government.*

      **South-East England** – *Between July and November, 278 visits resulted in 173 arrests and 130 premises receiving civil penalty notice referrals. The activity demonstrates this government’s commitment to ramping up immigration enforcement in south-east England.*”

      (*No other regions are mentioned*)

      More good work from Labour who, apparently, are worse than the Tories.

      Honestly, I’ll be surprised if the UK exists in a 100 years.

      You are facing an existential crises. And it’s not immigration. This obsession is going to be the end of you.

      This would be easy to fix if legislation was passed

      Anyone employing somebody illegally has all their business assets seized and the business is closed down with immediate effect.

      Hit the business owners taking advantage of people.

      “Particular focus has been on targeting car washes, nail bars, supermarkets and construction sites suspected of hiring illegal workers“

      They should definitely be looking into the likes of Deliveroo, UberEats and JustEat. The amount of times the driver turns up and it’s not the same person as the photo.

    7. xParesh on

      All they have to do is going into any town centre and ID all the Deliveroo and Just Eat drivers

      There should be no such thing as illegal working.

      There should be no human in the UK who is not allowed to work.

      Those who are here and cannot work will end up working illegally or committing crimes to fund their life.

      Even a tourist on a 60 day tourist visa should be allowed to work during that time.

      This shouldn’t be so hard. Just rock up at any Car Wash or Construction Site. You could even have them come to use using Deliveru/JustEat apps

      I live in Manchester city centre and have seen loads of police arresting deliveroo drivers and putting their bikes in the back of a big van with loads of them in there. I wonder if that’s what they’re talking about here.

      There’s a massive issue with self-employment laws that needs fixing, especially around “substitution.” Right now, if someone steps in to work on behalf of another, the responsibility for checking their legal status often falls on some random person—not the company benefiting from the work (e.g., Uber).  

      In London, fixing this could make a big difference:  

      1. It would reduce the number of masked individuals working illegally.  
      2. It would deter criminals pretending to be delivery workers.  
      3. It would cut down on illegal, uninsured electric bikes, which are dangerous for pedestrians and other road users.  

      4: People can start to feel safe by not having to wonder if that balaclava wearing person on an ebike coming towards them is coming to rob them or coming with their Macdonalds.

      By addressing these loopholed s, we’d improve public safety and stop letting companies avoid responsibility for who’s actually doing the work.

      Gonna see raids on the old classic of some sketchy looking place within a stone’s throw of the police/council officers?

      Realistically every business operating should expect a visit from a uniformed authority figure, with backup a radio call away, at least once a year. But obvs the State probs doesn’t have the resources to enforce this.

    16. woyteck on

      Tory donors probably benefitted from illegal labour, so no surprise noone did anything about it during Tory tule.

    17. MontanaMinuteman on

      Oh great, so now we have to pay people 70 quid to wash a car when a couple of Iraqi geezas would do it for a tenner. Plus they get to keep the money they earn
