How would you like £40,000 in tax-free cash to leave the United Kingdom?Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has announced her latest so-called deterrent to stop the small boats. And it is a whopper. A taxpayer-funded golden goodbye. Some £40,000 per family for failed asylum seekers to leave voluntarily.Right. Well, well. This all comes as she’s jetted off to Denmark and recently getting ideas on illegal migrant deterrence.

But to be honest, it looks like she’s come back with a cash incentive for them instead. Because this is a jackpot at the end of the rainbow, isn’t it? And in my opinion, it’s so obviously going to act as a magnet for even more illegal migrants crossing the channel, fuelling human trafficking gangs, and putting more lives at risk in dangerous boats, and of course, boosting the chances of migrants returning after cashing in once already. The scheme announced today only targets failed, families failed asylum families, should I say. But imagine if every undocumented migrant took a similar payout. Well, Conservative estimates put the undocumented population at around 700 to 900,000. Quite a lot of people. And at £40,000 each, that would cost us, as a country, between £28 and £36 billion of your hard-earned money.Worse still, that sum is life changing in origin countries, and Eritrean could live modestly for up to 14 years without working a Pakistani around 12 years.And in Afghanistan, for example, this is worth up to 27 years’ worth of salary.What do you think they’re going to tell their mates when they get home?

And for the average full time working Briton earning £39,000 a year, it would take nearly two years of solid work to pocket 40 grand, wouldn’t it?

What a shambles. I’ve got another idea for you, Shabana Mahmood.Why don’t you just round up the illegal migrants and put them on the first flight out of here instead? It’d be far more popular and far more cost effective.Our Standards:
