This is an invasion, we must do everything in our power to stop it and demand France also plays its part in the solution. please log in to view this image Patel on channel crossings westmonster.com
i was thinking they could use her arse as some sort of interim landing point like what australia have
A lot of talk from the government at the moment about Russian interference. Are they softening us up for something?
Love Priti Patel But the French have no real interest in stopping the migrant gangs shipping the illegals over here. We have to be realistic. Just tow them straight back again. It would soon stop
The indian Dianne Abbott? No thanks as for stopping illegal trafficking, i think everytime one of those ships are caught we just chuck the traffickers into the sea
What is Priti Patel’s skill set apart from being considered the furthest to the right in this government full of incompetent nonces and Brexit cheerleaders?
She's brighter than Dianne number-challenged Abbott. Agree the sentiment of soaking the traffickers. The trouble is, in The Channel, the traffickers mostly stay on land and just send the illegal migrants off in a dinghy with a small motor (for which the migrants pay an extortionate amount). There should be heavy prison sentences, but the French criminal system just seems to lethargic to bother. I'm amazed the inhabitants of Calais and other North French seaside towns don't protest more to their government, although some of the camps do seem to have been dispersed
It's not right wing to believe in the rule of law and stop illegal immigration I thought you'd accept, after Eric Joyce, the party of nonces was the Labour Party
Every Labour MP could simultaneously book a two week trip to Bangkok and they wouldn’t get close. Your post doesn’t really answer the question, unsurprisingly. She’s been badly exposed as nothing but a Brexit pitbull. Don’t honestly see what talent or intelligence she brings to the table even for people who align themselves with her politics. The rule of law seems to be a fluid concept depending on who is involved.
You're deluding yourself about Labour nonces. Read this: https://labour25.com/ Patel has brought in a points based immigration system. Great. Needs to be tested. Agree. She's only been Home Sec since the start of the year. The rule of law isn't fluid over immigration. If a migrant comes into the country without permission, they're illegal unless a genuine asylum seeker. But how many want to seek France because their lives are at risk in France, which is what they should have to prove?
A certain sense of irony here Your constant negativity about the current government and Patel in particular, yet your recent post about how everyone had ganged up on Corbyn I guess that even if Johnson or Patel personally gave you £1m you'd still be moaning that it wasn't £2m! I appreciate that no one - least of all me - is going to change your politics but if you only ever criticise what the current government does you are going to be hugely disappointed when Labour is re-elected and pursues many of the policies that Johnson and co are pursuing now
Don’t honestly remember posting about Corbyn recently. He was ganged up on though. I doubt any politician has ever been so relentlessly smeared in this country. I don’t have/had much love for Corbyn either but unfortunately we live in a system which is effectively a binary choice. Cameron wasn’t perfect either but I voted for him. I criticise the government because they pursue policies that will hurt the people who can least afford it and are openly corrupt. I’ll be fine. Quite how any of us will benefit from exacerbating the dearth of ‘key’ (as of a couple of months ago anyway) workers is a mystery to me. If and when Labour get in again, I’m sure they’ll do things I disagree with too.
In what way aren’t they corrupt? They’re handing out contracts without tender like it’s going out of fashion for services that don’t get delivered. Many key workers are considered low or unskilled. Many are on crap pay for hard work in areas we already have a huge number of vacancies such as carers. Why make it harder to attract those people here? We’ve always had the ability to deal with illegal immigration but have chosen not to or made up an enemy for simple ****s to blame.
