The UK government is defending its stringent immigration policies amidst a surge in far-right support, as reported by MSN. The article discusses how the government's approach to immigration, including the controversial Rwanda deportation plan, has been criticized for potentially fueling far-right sentiments. Despite this, the government insists that its policies are necessary to control illegal immigration and maintain national security. Critics argue that these measures are not only harsh but also ineffective, pointing out that they might be alienating communities and driving voters towards extremist groups. The piece also touches on the political implications, with opposition parties and human rights groups condemning the policies as inhumane and politically motivated, especially in light of upcoming elections where immigration remains a hot-button issue.
