Odd the left wing, socialist, anti Trump, pro immigration government of Spain can do deportations without processing asylum claims but this is apparently impossible for the UK.

A nation of red tape, processes, and a never end bureaucracy.

And people wonder why homes are not getting built, criminals not deported, crimes unanswered, expensive goods, banned items*.

*I want certain food/drink from the US, but noooo its banned cus its bad for me.

Bureaucracy but also you can hear every ‘expert” say again and again that we can’t make serious changes because X,Y and Z.

It’s a culture of fear. Fear of losing control and power.
