Dr Strangelove (how I learned to stop worrying and love Boris)

Don’t know, why bring posters on here too the issue?

 

Or doing away with, l think there are 800 in the house of Lords.

Not sure how much a day they get, was £300 that £240,000 and 1.2 m a week.
It's obscene

 

Because they’re Sunderland fans some of whom are clearly against the immigration of balance and Asian people to the uk so they have something in common

 

So you are the spokesperson for this group?

 

I seen you mention Muslims, yesterday. Where is all this coming from?

 

If you’d said ILLEGAL immigration i would agree

 

Don’t even know what you’re on about

 

Which ones are illegal ? Do you mean the ones who claim asylum but fail and stay ?

From a poster who has I think gone to be fair, though he’s been blocked. But also I think the policy of allowing war torn Ukrainians and paying for them to be here and not Afghans is probably based on the fact that we don’t want too many Muslims and people on here back it.

 

The ones who are entering the country across the channel illegally in dinghies ,you know what I mean

 

Is that the people who over 70% of them are granted asylum in the UK?

 

Aye

 

Then by that logic, over 70% of people attempting to cross the channel in small boats aren't illegal immigrants and the other 20% plus are not illegal unless they attempt to remain after their application has been refused.

 

Entering the country illegally was my point, and they are, do you agree?

 

That has already been debated and explained. We'd just be going round in circles going over it again.

I don't see anything on here suggesting people are against Muslims/Asians.

 

It's a grey area in law. international law states that anyone can seek asylum in any country they choose.
We have closed most of the safe corridors of passage and the recognised methods that a refugees can claim asylum in the UK. People who cross the channel in small boats are seeking asylum by the only route left to many of them. Technically they are only illegal if they land on our beaches. If they land at a port or are taken to a port after they are intercepted they are not illegal and are processed as if they arrive by any other route. Even if they land on a beach they are still processed if they request asylum. We only tend to prosecute the facilitators and the pilots of the small boats. The passengers are rarely if at all prosecuted, so no they aren't entering the country illegally, but they are entering by an illegal or unrecognised route.

 

The reason I said, Jesus wept is because he is the best option they have, frightening to be honest.

 

Why are they crossing the channel though, are they not safe before they get here?

 

I don't know what you are getting at Rooch, anyone is entitled to seek asylum in any country in the world. Those crossing the channel on small boats obviously have chosen to seek asylum in the UK.
It's their choice, as are the risks they take

 

Then by that logic the 70% are,unintentionally, co-funding the crossing of illegal immigrants
