Please identify (with a link to my post) where I have made such a demand?

 

Clue, I have not.

 

….

But really, after all the promises, migration being placed center of decisions about the future of Britain and the Government talking tough.

 

It seems promises have not been kept, expectations have been raised but not met.

 

If I had been backing these things, voting for them even, I’d want answers from the people who made the promises, the people who raised the expectations.

 

Or is it….. always somebody else’s fault?!

 

 

Yes, people did vote to control the borders but clearly the Tories have no appetite to do so.   Since Labour would encourage even more to come (and have zero solutions for this) who do you recommend people vote for if they want to prevent these illegal immigrants from coming over and potentially dying on this treacherous crossing, whilst allowing organised crime to profit from this at the expense of taxpayers.  

 

Or do you believe that anyone who makes it into the UK should simply be allowed to stay there, and when the boats overturn and people die attempting the crossing thats just a bit of collateral damage not worth bothering about?

I'd vote for the sane party. Clearly the Labor party did not encourage more illegal migrants from crossing the channel. How much more delusional can one get?

I think it’s fairer to say promises were made and expectations were raised.

 

Not everyone was taken in by those promises, or swallowed the proffered easy answers to complex problems.

 

Those making those promises and raising those expectations have failed to deliver, moreover the Government have had twelve years to sort this, they have demonstrably failed.

 

It turns out committing an egregious act of national self harm on the basis of ‘taking back control’ and stopping the ‘hoards’ was also founded on false promises and fairytale expectations.

 

I do get it, I too would be angry over so many broken promises and failed expectations.

 

But I would turn my anger on those who broke their promises and raised false expectations.

 

Turning one’s ire on the very people who warned you at the time you were being lied to seems a very odd response.

Great statesmen like Willy Brandt and now Mikhail Gorbachev are no longer with us. Who do we have now? Priti Patel and Boris bloody Johnson. God is trolling us.

How come this is still happening....and getting worse......I though it was all Europe's fault telling is we had to take them immigrants?

 

Brexit people told us that when we leave the EU we would have power to stop them entering the UK.

 

So what is the government doing to stop this? Hmmmmm....

So you dismiss the French who let them all set up camp in France, so they could make the crossing.....?  ????

They enter France legally, but sneak into the UK and claim asylum for what ever reason, one reason being the benefits they are given in the UK
