Any fast-track from migrant to citizen status within the EU entirely relevant to the Brexit issue. Of course Merkel's measures encouraged people smugglers' to take advantage of the German/EU welcome mat and Schengen - it is one cause of the rising problem - Illegal economic migrants may have been arriving in the UK via the EU for "many years" but that number is now increasing exponentially, as these Channel crossing numbers show (below): https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-53699511

If your quote comes from the link then it is just an extract, nothing to do with Farage, and the article is from 2007. After 2015, a year before the referendum, Merkel actually helped us out of the EU.

I don't remember Farage or anyone else saying exactly that but there was a concern that refugees granted EU passports in other EU countries might then use those passports to later access the UK while it was still part of the EU. Since 2015, after Merkel opened doors to Germany, and so, through Schengen, to the EU, the people smugglers have organized much larger numbers of paying migrants from all over Asia and Africa into the refugee mix, and into the EU. Many of these people seem to be set on making it to the UK; the people waiting in the sand dunes near Dunkirk reached there easily because of Schengen, which enables unchecked travel across continental Europe. This freedom of movement within the EU makes like too easy for the smugglers and appears to not help genuine refugees so much.

Maybe rejoin the UK then?

You clearly are unclear on what I've said, which was that anyone guilty on J6 should expect and receive punishment to fit their crimes.

The never before seen footage showed little happening of a violent nature in side the Capitol and little evidence of a sustained insurrection of enough force to be able to bring down any government. Of course the TC footage was selected, just as the J6 committee selected what they wanted people to see. Manipulation is the wrong word. Why would I know if any juries are corrupt?

This was obviously my opinion. I was not offering evidence. Your horse is tall, don't fall off.

It doesn't prove that someone didn't commit a crime. I didn't say it did.

This footage was new to most of the world. Remember?

It is relevant and also a question nobody here seems to be able to answer.

I saw the breech by a mob but I didn't see any clips of him actually smashing stuff.

I watched them. Truly amazing.????

Well I'm no fundamentalist Christian but if Jesus is truly on his way then that's fine by me.

So in Shaman Man's case did you see the moments where he was engaged in violence?

I did look. Quite a list. I've not said that I think I know what really happened but the extra VDO releases have filled a few gaps. There's a lot more unknown information out here somewhere, I'm sure.

Yes, laws were broken and those who broke them should take appropriate responsibility and punishment. However, evidence that was apparently requested by at least one defending lawyer but denied is withholding - illegal in itself. Aside from that, this footage shows that there was no sustained, broad scale violent insurrection going on, with real threats coming from a relatively low number of rioters compared to the huge crowd outside. The footage also shows little indication of any organized coup but the use of it would have demonstrated a more balanced view of what happened on J6.

This DOJ timeline is quoted in your NYP story on 6 March but not linked.

So in Shaman Man's case did you see the moments where he was engaged in violence?

Now they tell us.

Well the guy in question did not commit murder. The "peaceful" stuff shows this Shaman guy just walking about with several armed cops - no violence nor threatening actions by any party - the Shaman has a history of mental illness, apparently.

Withholding evidence is exactly what that is.

Nothing wrong with it but that evidence and technique should also have been available to the lawyers of those charged, at a minimum. Carlson has been accused of cherry-picking, while it is obvious that the J6C has done exactly that over many months. Hypocrisy or what?

I said "I think". Are you saying that a senate hearing committee would not have access to the Capitol CCTV VDO's?

He might do. His lawyer was on the TC show last night and claimed that none of this "peaceful" footage was offered to him before the trial.

Another fake narrative then.
