    Migrants Immigrants and Asylum seekers.

    You make an assumption. I do not for the most part see free speech being stifled. There is one exception. Many people are frightened of making certain remarks about Islam and the Prophet, for fear of being murdered in a particularly unpleasant manner. This is of course due to the behaviour of a...

    Migrants Immigrants and Asylum seekers.

    Since 1975 the average number of children per woman has been 1.3. Do you understand what that means?

    Migrants Immigrants and Asylum seekers.

    I did not have a go. What I said was no more than fact. Why do you think mods asked us not to talk about these subjects? Why do you think mods and others openly complain about openly racist posts on this forum? I find some of the extreme anti Muslim posts on this forum repellent. As do some...

    Migrants Immigrants and Asylum seekers.

    Really, well I'd rather believe the media I follow such as the Times, and R4, than you. It is well known that we do not train enough medics. Feel free to quote reliable sources for your claims. By the way, I am far more highly qualified than you ever will be, so cut the verbal abuse.

    Actually the EU tried to impose quotas on all European countries. Another reason not to be part of an undemocratic institution.

    Actually Germany needs immigrants due to a falling birth rate. So quite different from this country.

    Migrants Immigrants and Asylum seekers.

    They have a certain mindset, which is perhaps mildly left of centre. But by law they must be honest and factually accurate. Unlike YouTube videos that are faked. And some of the other extreme propaganda. And as for the Daily Mail, it is as disingenuous and biased as the Grauniad.

    Migrants Immigrants and Asylum seekers.

    Ah yes, I forgot to say that anyone dissenting from the extreme right wing views of a few such as yourself are verbally abused as you ably demonstrate. Actually I am a one nation Tory for want of a better label. And you think debate consists of someone posting a fake video, accepting it...

    Migrants Immigrants and Asylum seekers.

    Except we can't discuss some things because those with extreme views hijack them to claim that is typical of all refugees/migrants, and then post fake videos, fake stories etc etc in support of an extreme agenda. And they quote stories, as you do, out of context, no attempt to determine how many...

    What would you do?

    Twenty years ago when I worked in Montreal I was ostensibly tutoring a student. She worked as a lap dancer to fund her degree, and a colleague liked going to the club. She warned him not to take the women for meals, as they were out to get as much money, meals and drinks out of punters as they...

    What would you do?

    It's creepy, try and get her to think of him as a creep, and indicate that there might be more disturbing aspects to his behaviour. I would also be concerned that she takes care when leaving work in the evening.

    Migrants Immigrants and Asylum seekers.

    I have said plenty of negative things about subjects such as immigration (it's far too high) and terrorists (who are usually uneducated underachievers). But in the past this place has turned into a hate fest against one group. If someone wants to engage in extreme politics, there are I am sure...

    Tony Blair failed to put a temporary limit on East European immigration, when he could have done under EU rules. He sanctioned the invasion of Iraq, which reduced the funds available to deal with Afghanistan, and arguably gave rise to many if not most of the problems we see today. Bush is on...

    How much to save for my children's university education?

    On average a graduate earns far more than a non graduate over their lifetimes. A decent degree in electrical engineering should guarantee a very good income. A degree in meeja studies might get you a job in MacDonalds, or a real job if daddy has good connections, or you can blag. Friends from my...

    So what do we like

    Round the Horne on R4Extra Dad's Army on R4Extra. It's better on the radio. Grand Designs and The Restoration Man even though I'd like more technical detail. Peep Show is brilliant Father Ted, hilarious, the Nazi priest episode was brilliant Have I got News For You I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue...

    Basingstoke to Reading commute

    Well you can always get out of the car and pee in front of the other parked cars. Or you can stumble through the undergrowth at the side of the road in the dark, and fall into the ditch. Or you can carry a torch, walk up the steep bank in this case, down the other side, and have a wee out of...

    How much to save for my children's university education?

    I'm sure you can find out typical course fees, and work out how much someone needs each year for rent and bills. They do get student loans you know. So maybe you can save just to help them out. The full cost per year could be £10k for fees, £7k for rent, and £7k for food and bills. Modern kids...

    Basingstoke to Reading commute

    I think the Reading journey was typical. I once sat for over one hour stationary outside the Hindhead tunnel, engine off, while numerous emergency vehicles rushed past stationary vehicles. Lord knows what had happened, the traffic got going again, no wreckage to be seen. Southern England is too...

    Migrants Immigrants and Asylum seekers.

    A concensus of opinions is the term used when most people agree. Others have given excellent definitions of the term migrant. Next. I do hope it will be more interesting than this one.
