Picture a bucolic English village, the kind immortalised in Constable paintings—rolling fields, a charming high street, a community where everyone knows your name. Now picture the government deciding, without consultation, that this rural sanctuary should become an open-door holding pen for undocumented migrants, many of whom have no proof of identity, no confirmed age, and no legitimate claim to be here.

This is not a dystopian fantasy. It is happening at Wethersfield airbase in Essex, where wave after wave of illegal arrivals are being corralled, not into proper detention centres or immediate deportation flights, but into our countryside, our communities, even near our schools. The latest wave takes the number at Weathersfield from 580 to 800. Another 220 illegal migrants about whom we know nothing – parachuted into our civil society, no questions asked.

What do we get from our political class? Deafening silence, laced with moral cowardice. The truth—unspoken at Westminster cocktail parties but painfully obvious to the British people—is that our leaders are so hijacked by fear, so paralysed by political correctness, that they cannot even discuss the real issues, let alone tackle them. Britain’s borders are not merely porous; they are non-existent. We are not enforcing the law. And worse, we are punishing our own citizens for noticing.

Let’s be clear: anyone who arrives here illegally is, by definition, a criminal. They are breaking our laws the moment they set foot on our shores. Yet instead of detaining them, processing them rapidly, and deporting them, we are housing them, feeding them, giving them taxpayer-funded legal aid, and placing them in our communities without knowing who they are. Many arrive without passports or documents—often deliberately discarded at sea—and the government waves them through. Some claim to be children, yet their faces and frames betray the truth. We have seen the footage. We know the deception. And yet, our leaders turn a blind eye.

This is not immigration. It is an invasion aided by state sponsored negligence.

The solution is simple, yet radical only by the warped standards of modern politics: enforce our borders. Anyone who enters illegally should be detained, held in secure facilities (not disbursed into British towns and villages) and then deported. If they cannot be deported, they should not be released. Britain should not be an open-door waiting room for the world’s unvetted, undocumented migrants.

Moreover, we must impose an immediate moratorium on indefinite leave to remain and citizenship. Why on earth are we granting residency to anyone while our borders remain wide open? There should never have been any illegal arrivals in the UK; it must be stopped. And legal migration too must be frozen until we regain control. This is not just about stopping boats; it is about the very existence of our country.

And for those who sneer, who clutch their pearls and cry “inhumane”—where is their concern for the British communities being transformed beyond recognition? Where is their outrage for the children forced to share classrooms with fully grown men masquerading as minors?

Where is their horror at the documented cases of crime, exploitation, and social breakdown caused by unchecked migration?

Britain is at a breaking point. The Great British Political Action Committee (www.greatbritishpac.com) exists to shift the centre of political gravity, to smash the artificial limits on acceptable discourse, and to make these uncomfortable truths inescapable.

Because only by facing reality can we fix the crisis. And fix it we must—before Britain itself ceases to exist.
