You certainly like to mention forum rules don't you. As I said do your own research which you did, albeit minimally. There is a fine line between migrant and asylum seeker, which many abuse and use to their advantage whenever they feel. So we disagree on the asylum seeker/migrant situation. That's fine. Move on and have a nice day. I certainly will. Problem is your viewpoints are purely opinion, devoid of any factual basis. But at least you're honest about your reason for brexit.

Rookiescot Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Are people still flogging this dead squirrel? Look the entire thing is a non event. Migrants who make it across the channel will be detained and processed. If you are not happy with the way they are processed then take it up with Johnson and the Conservative party. They have been in power for the last decade. If an immigrant is not detained upon arrival then he will have no access to benefits or housing. Thereby costing the UK public zero pence. Brexiteers venting their spleen over what is essentially just a distraction from what is going on regarding the UK are simply responding to a dog whistle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me he British people are open minded to accepting true refugees, but sick of this pack of lies about the true nature of those seeking to come to the UK from the Left/Liberal media who have their own motives, along with the immigration/refugee industry that pays a lot of mortgages on nice houses (Head of Save the Children which was picking up adult economic migrants in the Med is on GBP 340k PA). FYI here is one of my sources, myself. For three years I lived in an apartment block used as a holding tank by people smugglers. All you pro "refugee" bleeding hearts are being played for fools by schemers who have got it all worked out. The two guys across from me from Niger who were waiting to be smuggled to the US were decent guys who I would stop and chat with - their English was such that they may actually have been "Doctor and Engineers", but they were economic migrants not refugees. In common, I suspect, with many from the UK posting on this board, I remain open minded to genuine refugees coming to the UK, and refugee is not defined just by fleeing war or murderous Government. People whose lives are at risk from persecution, or where it may escalate to that e.g. Christians in Muslim countries, such as the Pakistani Christians, those Christians in some areas of Indonesia. Minority tribes dominated by a different tribe majority as in Africa are also legitimately refugees if there is persecution by the majority. The question arises as to whether that sanctuary needs to be permanent in the form of citizenship. In some cases, yes, in others, why?. One assumes those fleeing war will want to return when a war ends if political conditions permit. People fleeing their countries peacetime National Service is not a grounds for acceptance even though their desire to flee might be understandable. There is the issue of numbers also. How many can we realistically accommodate?. Somalians as a group have done poorly in the UK, 90% of males and 99% of females are on welfare. The question arises under what conditions should people be under before we accept them suspecting they will permanently be a burden on the state, and even when felt justified on ethical/compassionate reasons, the question of how many arises. Before I go, Here is another of my sources: I had a Twitter conversation with a Labour MP (Stella Creasey) who was pro Calais "refugee" about the Labour/Liberal Media claims of "3,000 unaccompanied children" in Calais. When I challenged her she admitted that when she was there she met with ONE 9 year old who had no adults with her at the time of the interview, and saw another 9 year old who seemed to be unaccompanied. From 3,000 to 2. At least she was honest when challenged, but seemingly not until. The problem is that many in the pro "refugee" camp are not, or are being played for fools by the dishonest media/politicians. My mistake for breaking my self imposed posting moratorium. Should not have done it. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
