Given that the traffickers are operating in another jurisdiction, how would you propose they do that?
I don't know what the hell we are going to do but 1200 in a day is a disgrace . They should be returned immediately to a French beach .
If I could book it in in advance I quite fancy it. I don't really want to go to Yarl's Wood Detention Centre first. Could they fly me from Leeds / Bradford business class?
I don’t think the government wants to solve the problem. It’s too handy as a distraction from from the myriad of things they’re ballsing up on a daily basis.
Was more tongue in cheek. People make these sweeping statements about what we should do with the lives of some of the most vulnerable people on earth. Opinions would change pretty quickly if they walked a mile in someone elses shoes.
Christ on a bike . They are about as vulnerable as the queen . They need to take a leaf out of the Ukrainian men . They shipped their family off and stood and fought . These men have ran faster than usain bolt
If there’s a subject to be wrong about; there’s always someone you can guarantee will be right in the middle of it. we’ve no water, seas full of sh it the most expensive oil gas and electric in Europe, the biggest margin between the rich and poor, so what should we be most concerned with? Brown people crossing the channel. Let’s ignore we’re short of labour, with an ageing population and make sure attacking people who don’t look like us is our top priority.
I'm not keen on taking in 'immigrants' at a rate of 1200 per day (based on those facts). Am i racist then?
I’ll bite: Do you know the death rate per day? Birth rate? How many are leaving the country? So if we accepted 1200 people in every day, would the population even grow? How many vacancies are there in the NHS? Truck drivers? Care workers? Farming? So; can you expand on why an extra half million workers is a bad thing? Even if it is that many (it’s not - but let’s discuss it anyway).
My worry about all these Asylum seekers coming over is where do they all go? There's plenty of uk residents living in poverty and squalor. The NHS is in a mess as it is and struggling to cope. The government are giving France £53 BILLION to stop them coming but they aren't so stop the money and spend it on helping EVERYONE who needs help. And iam not racist just a realist.
No. But the following points need to be made: We don't take in immigrants at 1200 per day. We only have the numbers of illegal crossings we do because there is no way to claim asylum before entering. The reason for point 2 above seems to be that the people in charge are happy for the channel to thin out the numbers coming in by drowning, and maintaining a hard policy inexplicably plays well with a lot of people despite it basically meaning the state is complicit in avoidable deaths. The government policy doesn't crack down on people smugglers, it creates their whole market for them. The reason the asylum seekers are predominantly male is because it's a dangerous crossing, and so you send the fittest member of the family across to claim asylum at which point safer arrangements can be made for the family to join him. Thanks to the media a lot of people are ignorant of the above and so I don't want to label anyone who raises issues with channel crossings as racist. But once people are aware of the above I struggle to see alternative reasons for supporting the ******** the government continues to peddle.
Not about "biting".... I'm asking a question regarding am i racist or not? Surely there's plenty of countries in Europe they can go without endangering their lives? This country is fecked! Down the pan etc! So can understand people leaving
Its £54 million.....1000 times less than your figure https://www.itv.com/news/2021-07-21...e-54-million-in-bid-to-halt-migrant-crossings
I stand corrected thank you t's just what i read, £54 million is still too much for doing NOTHING. Like i said spend it in uk and help everyone.
