From 104 London Debaters
Wherever you stand on an issue, it's worth trying to discover what the people you disagree with are thinking and why they think that way. In a club debate--whatever the topic--we seek to develop a case for and against the proposal.
The UK Home Office "hostile environment" policy was designed to make staying in the UK difficult for those who entered the country illegally and for those who overstay without leave to remain, in the hope that they may "voluntarily leave". According to Theresa May in 2010, "The aim is to create, here in Britain, a really hostile environment for illegal immigrants". [Wikipedia]
Some people blame this policy for the so-called "Windrush Scandal". Others maintain that since the policy applies only to those violating UK immigration laws that it's right and proper to maintain it.
104 London Debaters is the UK's first and only Toastmasters club dedicated to debate.
