    Anyway, as it happens, my opinion is it's embarrassing this shambles regarding Ukranain refugee's, I support them completely in being allowed to come here. The only difference is I don't feel the need to make false comparitives with other countries, to express my view.

    To be fair, I think Archer's was referring to the UK's woeful visa numbers which, were correct in that post he put up. Even if the figures from some other countries weren't

    Either way, we need to be doing much more. The link I posted about the Home office demonstrates some of the chaos that reigns there currently, with two separate home office ministers describing the UK visa response as 'cock up rather than conspiracy'

    No I'm not going to be fair, I completely support the plight of the refugee's and we should be supporting them.

    However, why do you think the French numbers were inflated, remembering he never checked it, and got it off a so called friend, the whole object of the post, was not to highlight the numbers directly bordering the Ukraine, such as Poland, it was posted to make an indirect comparison to France.

    You yourself, often bring up about fake claims, you even post a link to a fact checker site, or media that can be trusted. Yet, when I challenge what I believe may be false information, you ask me to be fair, why? You either want the truth posted or you don't!

    Example, to make my point about the UK supporting the Ukraine by getting involved, I could have posted material about the maternity hospital bombed, but I didn't, because it's not how I work, because I don't believe in conflating my view with what potentially could be false information ie children buried under the rubble.

    Archers knew what he was doing or he was incrediably thick, I certainly don't believe it's the latter.

    No and I did, he put up figures that claimed France had taken in 15,000 Ukranian refugees.

    I did a google search, it rejected anything to do with 15k.

    So I revised my search criteria, it found 2,500 and 5,000. I selected an article that was published the day before at midday, from Archers favourite newspaper, The Guardian, I posted the link, it claimed 2.5k refugees, it went on to say, that a lot of those wanted to go to other countries (so not even France), namely Spain, Portugal and the UK. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/08/where-in-europe-are-ukraines-refugees-going

    Quote:
    About 2,500 Ukrainians had arrived in France, with some then looking to go to Spain and Portugal as well as the UK, the interior minister, Gérald Darmanin, said on Sunday.

    The question I asked myself, was why were all the other totals correct for refugee's, but the one for France was totally different, I'll let you draw your own conclusions, like I did mine.

    He then posted up a genuine set of figures, dated the 8th March, the same date I'm referring to, minus France. <laugh>

    Yeah, but in that post at the top was the 650 visas that the UK has issued, which I thought was what he was highlighting ?

    Anyway, something for Archer's to take up with you. But I didn't think he was referring to France ?

    Well it's pretty obvious he is Labour thru and thru, don't forget it was Labour that tried to annihilate Iraq. In regards to the Ukraine, Blair's view was the further East the EU go the better, that's why Putin is storming all over the Ukraine today, due to Labour Party past ideology's.

    Funny how everyone wants to highlight the Tory failings, and there are many, I agree, but no one ever wants to chat about Blair being a war criminal as much as Putin. Tony Blair even pushes the EU agenda to today, part reason for this conflict now. Yet if I talk about my Nationalism, I'm scourned then on the otherhand, everyone is waving a Ukraine flag at the moment and saying they are an independent nation, you couldn't make this shhite up sometimes.

    You could get some good bantz going full toryboy, it winds up Archers no end, and it would probably draw the attention of his puppy Piskie too.
