Brexit and the elite..

No one says all immigration is good - we all said immigration is a nett positive to the economy.

We don’t accept the premise of the question because it’s nonsense - the % of illegal immigration to the UK is insignificant in worldwide terms.

The answer is banal rather than revelatory. If you were an illegal immigrant in one country where you had no friends and didn’t speak the language - would you rather be an illegal immigrant in a different country where you knew people and spoke the language.

The really sad fact is that we’re so unwelcoming of foreigners that we’ve shipped people out to countries they’ve never lived in despite decades of proven tax payments here because Mrs May wanted to prove she was ‘tough’.

 

Seriously - if we ever meet; I’ll explain how far out of your depth you are here

It’s not an insult, I’ve spent a fair amount of my life training staff to pay benefits, I know dozens of people who work in the home office, and you didn’t know anything about our benefit system till you had a google last week. It’ll not come as a surprise that you keep misinterpreting what you’re reading.

 

You’re talking about your Dunning Krueger symptoms again ??

 

There could be any number of reasons but I’d suggest they may have friends or relatives here and are more likely to speak English than say German or French.
The people equipping them with a boat, those making money from them, maybe it’s in their interest once in France to say no, carry on to the UK.
Maybe, as you are inferring, we are softer touches.
I’ve got to be honest I am not concerned about a few hundred migrants/refugees trying to cross the channel each year.
It really isn’t a priority issue for me when it comes down to things that need putting right in this country.
I think ceasing to sell weapons to Saudi and choosing not to attack Middle Eastern nations murdering innocents might quell the numbers however.

 

I believe you attacked someone quite viciously last week who had an opinion of the quarrying industry you disagreed with.

This might be payback. Except I’ve been polite.

 

If I’ve not seen you on facebook teaching staff how to dole out my taxes then it cant have happened

 

I’d hazard a guess that they're told gullible left wing councils will kick their old folk out of Belmont nursing home at Monk Bretton to look after them. But what do I know I only had first hand experience of social services telling me that it wasn't the councils responsibility to care for my mother in law.

 

Well I’ll happily apologise to Scoff if my response was impolite, at least I didn't descend to calling him a nazi.

 

To give the room to illegal immigrants?

 

But is Scoff a Nazi?

 

In arguing like this... you are proving the Dunning Krueger effect...

 

We’re not unwelcoming of foreigners... unless by we, you mean you?

If one apple in an orchard has a worm in it, is the whole orchard ruined?

Sorry, I became mr Miyagi for a minute then.

 

I think they were called asylum seekers, we couldn't afford to care for our elderly but could afford to care for them.

 

I wouldn't know, perhaps you could help me decide by providing a definition ?

 

So you object to helping people in fear for their lives?

It seems I didn’t need to apologise after all.

 

We can afford both, and should. But we are digressing from the brexit thread.

 

So people who have been paying taxes for years in this country should foot the bill for anyone and everyone who wants to come from every corner of the globe?

 

Maybe a little reading on the culture Mrs May established at the Home Office. The first headline low point would be the mobile poster campaign. And culminating in the wind rush scandal.

 

Lost For. Words.

 

Of course not. Assuming of course that they're not just economic migrants falsely claiming asylum. But I’m sure that never happens
