A potential £1.08 BILLION Home Office contract. Immigration detention planning potentially stretching to 2038. Around 39,000 small-boat arrivals in the year ending March 2026. I'm not interested in political slogans. I want to know what assumptions sit behind the Government's long-term planning. Sources: Home Office, Immigration System Statistics, YE March 2026: illegal-route arrivals, small boats, detention and returns. Home Office, 29 June 2026: 40% detention-capacity expansion and 45,000+ planned removals. Home Office, Find a Tender, Heathrow IRC Operator Services: £901.5m ex VAT / £1.0818bn inc VAT; possible extension to 31 March 2038. Home Office Immigration Statistics Data Tables, March 2026: underlying illegal-entry and returns datasets.

In 1933, the Haavara Agreement created a mechanism allowing German Jews emigrating to British Mandate Palestine to transfer part of their assets through German exports. It saved people, divided Jewish opinion and remains deeply controversial. But it did NOT prove that Zionists and N***s were ideological allies. History deserves context, not propaganda.
