Boat illegals up under Labour.

The U.K. takes just 7% of asylum seekers in mainland Europe

It doesn’t do “more than it’s fair share”

Ignoring those who come from organised schemes.

You make out we don’t do enough.

I've never claimed that.

I've never claimed that.

So the uk does its fair share then ?

I think we do more than most countries, probably the most imho.

In fact, that mainly the reason people risk their life’s to get here.

Well, we take less than others, much less than Germany, I don't know if I'd call it a fair share.

In fact, that mainly the reason people risk their life’s to get here.

But most go elsewhere. Why would that be if the UK is paved with gold?

We do. We’re nothing to do with Europe any more. We are constantly being reminded we are a "third-country". The U.K. takes more than any other third-country. What other third-countries take more than we do?

We have more illegals. Just do a google search

There’s a reason for that.

 

[denso13]

There’s a reason for that.

Yes, we call them illegal. Others don't.

Just do a google search

No.

 

[Deleted member 317777]

No

No problem. Stick to your “facts” then.

Turkey.

 

[Deleted member 317777]

Turkey.

But then we have illegals from Turkey, hmmmm

 

[Harry Bloomfield]

Yes, we call them illegal. Others don't.

Mostly to do with them actually being illegal immigrants, don't you think?

 

[denso13]

No, only sine the law changed in 2023. A political move, nothing more.

 

[Mottie]

Turkey.

Do they risk their lives making a perilous sea crossing in a rubber boat through the world’s busiest shipping lanes to get there?

Geography not your strong point Mottie?

Brexit didn't stop the problem then?

Maybe the EU wasn't the issue after all
