    That's pure bullshit.

    The UK can ask France of any other safe country these illegals pass through if they will take them back.

    Even before Brexit they just tell us to go **** ourselves.

    as a sovereign country we can change our laws to return illegal immigrants to other countries - either the country they came from or where they are citizens of
    we can keep them in detention centres anywhere we want
    we can withdraw from any treaties which say we have to keep the dregs of the world
    what's not to like?

    when Belarus troops invaded Poland to smash though Polish defences I think Polish troops should have attacked the invaders
    I dont know of anything that says a country can't repel invaders with force

    It's even bigger bullshit than that, because the arrangements for migrants between Britain and France was outside of the EU regs anyway.

    As it stands your statement means that the rent from houses funds the NHS.

    We should fine France a million pounds each for every illegal immigrant leaving their shores .

    Put it towards the cost of hotels dental medical care and all the other free stuff the Government hands them .

    Race report author ‘vindicated’ as analysis shows white people do not live longer
    Tony Sewell’s finding that ethnic groups had better health outcomes than whites is proved right, after initially being criticised in BMJ

    ByHenry Bodkin,SENIOR REPORTERandRobert Mendick,CHIEF REPORTER12 November 2021 • 4:51pm

    Tony Sewell said he and his fellow commissioners faced ‘abuse’ for their conclusions on health and race
    The embattled author of a government race report has declared himself vindicated after a British Medical Journal article found that white people have lower life expectancy.

    Tony Sewell, the chairman of the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities, was heavily criticised in the leading journal afterhis report in Marchconcluded thatpre-pandemic health outcomesamong ethnic minority groups were better than among white people.

    He said that he and his fellow commissionersfaced “abuse”for their conclusions on health and race, even though they were subsequently echoed by theOffice for National Statistics (ONS).

    However, the BMJ has now published an analysis of the official data, which concedes that between 2012 and 2019, “the white ethnic group had lower life expectancy and higher overall mortality than all ethnic minority groups except the mixed group”.

    It continued: “For individual causes of death, the picture was more varied, with ethnic minority groups generally having lower mortality than the white group for half of the 30 leading causes of death (responsible for about 80 per cent of all deaths).”

    The ‘healthy migrant effect’
    The BMJ analysis pointed to “the healthy migrant effect” and lower rates of tobacco and alcohol use as potential explanations.

    It also said that the overall “mortality advantage” of some ethnic groups, namely Bangladeshi, Pakistani and black Caribbean males, had been reversed due to their higher risk of death from Covid.

    This, it said, was likely down to the higher chance of living in densely populated urban areas, in large and multi-generational households, and of working in public-facing roles such as health and social care.

    Mr Sewelltold The Telegraph that his team knew their findings on the mortality of ethnic groups would be backed up by the ONS when they published their report.

    “Essentially what happened was people didn’t look at the data,” he said. “What they were driven by was a bit of hysteria around the Covid results. Once we inspected the data, we could see the situation was complex.

    “We are not denying racism is a factor, but we are looking at race disparities and some people didn’t realise white people could fare worse. Making that statement seemed to worry people.

    “People wanted us to say something along the lines that ‘black people’s health outcomes were worse than whites’, but that wasn’t true. We had to go on what we saw and the data in front of us.”

    The wider report into racism in Britain caused a furore after finding no evidence of institutional racism. It recommended that the UK should act as a model for other white-majority countries.

    United Nations experts said the report could “fuel racism”.

    An article published after the report, in the BMJ accused the government-appointed commission of “cherrypicking” the evidence.

    “I feel very vindicated by this and if people had bothered to read our report rather than listening to the news, they would have seen we were telling the truth,” said Mr Sewell.

    “The BMJ and The Guardian were seemingly undermining what we were reporting rather than looking at the facts. We definitely didn’t see any institutional racism.

    “What we did see in health in particular is a situation that was more complex than just calling it institutional racism. Once you have a scenario that is complex, people don’t like that.”

    The ONS study, on which the latest BMJ analysis is based, used data from more than 50 million people, including more than seven million from ethnic minorities. It is by far the largest of its kind.

    The BMJ authors, including those from the University of Cambridge and Imperial College London, describe the “paradox” of better mortality outcomes among some ethnic groups, despite higher levels of deprivation.

    We certainly have, on a track and trace system that never worked. Still, generated several large donations to the Tory Party as a whole, and doubtless many backhanders to individual Tories in a monumental exercise in the money-laundering of taxpayers' money.

    Do you think this gargantuan, fat mess will get as much flack for this piss poor act of representing his country's respect to our fallen dead as Michael Foot did for simply wearing an unfashionable jacket? I mean, the corpulent fraud hasn't even combed his ****ing hair.
