Organgrinder #5342 Posted November 17 55 minutes ago, cressida said: France, being a much larger country than ours, Spain too - why didn't they stop them. or try to limit the number of immigrants from their own land borders, the EU are very stringent regarding their rules for their members but are unconcerned about immigrants breaching borders. The situation is building and resources eventually diminish - a reasonable excuse for not obeying the international law and making them recognize that it is unworkable. I was watching an old film today and the actress was saying there were two million people in the world, 1951 the film was made - surely not. What was the rush to leave Europe for then ? It's no good leaving Europe and then crying that they are better at keeping asylum seekers out. As has been explained to you, France does take in many more asylum seekers than we do and always has. If you think the French government are doing the job better than ours you should call on our government to do the job properly. Not obeying International law will not make a lot of difference and, if other countries do the same, we will be the worst of the lot again anyway.

Anna B #5343 Posted November 18 (edited) The fundamental problem is that we live in a very unfair world of haves and have nots, so it's not surprising that half the population wants to better itself and its situation. Hence mass migration to better off countries with more opportunities. As I understand it, all the European countries are struggling with the same problem and taking just as many, if not more refugees/economic migrants as we are, but we are the end of the line, and there's nowhere we can pass them onto, so we have to try to stop so many coming, and cope better with the ones that do. It needs proper organisation as well as regulation, and heaven knows we should have enough civil servants to come up with something and do the job. First we need to establish if they are genuine refugees (of which there are many,) and give them priority, then improve our vetting process to make it quick and efficient. Provide large clean camps where they can wait, growing their own food and cooking it to make them self sufficient and self sustaining, and use the time to teach them the language, and the British way of life. And assess their suitability, and willingness to adapt. The Army would be useful here. We have need of certain skills. Anyone who can provide those skills should be admitted. We also need to use a degree of humanity to accept some of the rest if suitable and hardworking; under licence, any breech of which will see them immediately returned to their country of origin. We also need to point out strongly to these fit, determined, young men that they are needed to build up their own country and make it a better place in which to live. They are made of the right stuff to do it. Perhaps a small grant could be given out of our foreign aid budget to persuade them to return to their own country and start up small businesses or get education etc. which would be cheaper and more productive than keeping them here in uncertain, indefinite limbo.

Baron99 #5346 Posted November 18 So you vote Labour at the next election & you get the start of the privatisation of the NHS. From today's 'i' newspaper: 'Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said he would “hold the door wide open” to private sector entrepreneurs who can improve the NHS if the Labour Party enter Government.' I suppose all the Lefties lovers of the NHS will get behind this as its a Labour initiative not a Conservative one, so that's ok. Well downtrodden Labour supporting masses, what do you have to say? I wonder if Streeting has cleared the comment with Mr Flip-flop, Sir Blair Starmer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I wonder if Streeting has cleared the comment with Mr Flip-flop, Sir Blair Starmer? How can it be "the start of the privatisation of the NHS" ? That was started many many years ago and has grown a lot since, or were you not aware of that fact. Best to know what you're talking about before you say it. Starmer and Streeting, are fans of privatisation and have already accepted "donations" from Private American Health Care companies.

cressida #5348 Posted November 18 (edited) 22 hours ago, Jack Grey said: The simple answer Cress is that the French don't want them They are happy for them to leave their SAFE country and go to the UK Thousands upon thousands of men who have travelled through countless safe countries and paid thousands to get on a boat to the UK are poor vulnerable victims who need compassion and lots of free hotels and food and medical care All welcomed by liberals who are too stupid to see it's all a scam What exactly do the French do to earn the money the government give them, whatever they do is ineffective.
