@Bones And yeah - sounds like debating about 2 different things.
Genuine refugees, and "country-shopping young men".
And... 2 different discussions. But... conflated into one by people for convenience/reasons.
Possibly - because it is difficult to differentiate, but possibly... reasons. -

Her entire argument boils down to "they can, so they do, and because we agreed to it, we have to take them".
How so?
I'm pretty smashed... but the first 50% of that video... if the statistics are correct, are... absolutely nothing like that.The 86% that stay don't possess the financial means to pay people smuggling operators. They're also more likely to be families, or women, or children, or women with young children. The vast majority of those "refugees" country shopping are young men.
He asked about Calais, are you referencing something more like boat people?
There aren't Africans in Calais seeking to get into England?

@antipodean probably because they speak English or have family or other ties maybe.

I have no idea what point you're trying to make now, so I'll leave you to it.

Well that's exactly what I was thinking about your question, so I just rolled with it.
I'm not "trying to make a point" if it helps.

Don’t know what’s worse. Matt Hancock’s complete naivety in trusting a known snake, or Isobel Oakeshott’s absolute disregard for an NDA in handing over 100k of WhatsApp messages to the Telegraph. I don’t particularly like Hancock but I think she’s bang out of order when there is already an inquiry underway and he has been complicit with providing all the information and sources he’s been requested to stump up.
She’s actually employed under the Murdoch umbrella , but didn’t even leak this to one of his papers. She went a rival. What a complete and utter fluffybunny.

It's a dirty bit f business all round isn't it. Laughable to some degree. ie Matt Hancock complaining about "a massive betrayal"
Matt Hancock. Who flouted the lockdown rules that he had a hand in setting out.
I suppose if anyone is well placed to recognise "a massive betrayal" it is that hypocrite.

Fuck Hancock
Getting his commupance

Agree.
But Oakshotte should be in jail. Otherwise all NDA on British law hold zero water.
She must be made an example of as what she’s done is completely contemptible.

I can't believe there are a bunch of adults sitting in a room talking about how bad it is that a kid drew in a book. That's one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen in my life.

@No-Quarter farrrrk that's quite sickening.

Nailed.

That's what happens when you give any credence to the stone age ignorance of myths in the nuclear age. These people should be laughed at and hosed off stage.

Who in the fuck cares about doodling in a Quran? Are the UK police really this fucking gutless? Talk about a complete and utter capitulation to radicals.
I thought the lad simply dropped it on the floor. But, yeah, appalling and reminiscent of the way the Police colluded in the abuse of hundreds of vulnerable teenage girls in the Nth of England for nearly a decade. At least Braverman has called for an inquiry.
The Police are in a real mess with public trust at an all-time low with scandal after scandal showing how poorly led & discipled they are - yet they continue with this sort of shit.

We are fucked...

I am amazed and horrified about our seeming lack of choice in potential leaders. And yes, if something doesn't change in this regard soon we are fucked.
