Yet another asylum seeker says 'Thank you' in their own special way to the country that accepted them

[denso13]

They're not fleeing persecution, they are arriving here in a rubber dingy, which they have paddled across the channel, from a perfectly safe country. Their only motive for leaving France, and risking their lives on a dingy, is the life they have heard, they can live once here.

So the likes of Afghanistan, Iran, Syria and Iraq refugees should all just stop at, say, Turkey? Millions of them?

Yeah could do

Does not bother me ??

You don't know that, you are guessing.

Yes he does and
No he is not

They don't do that now, so why would they do that if the UK refused them?
There's dozens of other countries in Europe they could go to.

Swerve.

So they can travel anywhere, except here?

What about us "doing our bit" by taking a small proportion?

 

[Notch7]

To France? Yes. They were not being persecuted there, were they?

That's not relevant.

It's only geography that means they get to France before UK.

Why should France take more than UK

Not true

It's mostly English language and or family connections.

 

[Notch7]

Yes.
They could stay in any number of other countries if they really are fleeing persecution.

Why should other countries take more

 

[Notch7]

It's not a fantasy. If the will to do it was there then it could be done.
All we need is a government with the balls to do it.
Repeal all laws that prevent it and limit the power of the courts so that they can only cast judgement on the law as it stands.
They should not be allowing morality to cloud (or more to the point, help their cause) their judgement as they do now.

Yes it's a fantasy


You say they should be detained

Please explain where as jails are full

Morality would dictate that the UK helps a fair share of refugees

As, Andrew alluded in that sketch, the word populism is being used by beurocrats to make the word 'democracy' appear dirty.

Yes.

If its that diminutive, then all the other countries who choose to take them should hardly notice the difference.
