    Sorry, may we go back to this anarchist thing a minute?
    I tried today to live anarchically, starting with my bedside alarm (powered by nPower, direct debit). Watched a bit of BBC Breakfast ( I pay my licence fee) and then ****ed off to work in my fossil fuel-powered ozone-slayer (taxed, MOT and insured).
    All went well , defiantly went though a few amber lights till I came to HRI junction and I bottled as I've seen too many crashes there on the box junction area. Obeyed the lights and submitted to society's norms, values and rules.

    Conclusion: it's not for me
    How do you do it?

    Ahh so inventions from the past? Inventions that other countries took and made superior? I'm talking about what we are doing now, quite obviously, not what we did years ago.

    What do we export that other countries couldn't get anywhere else? Meanwhile, what do we import that we couldn't live without? Face it, the people who moan about immigration and refugee crisis' are happy to go on reaping the benefits of foreign technology and skill.

    Also, if we're shipping out all non-British people, are we keeping the doctors, nurses, police officers, fire-fighters, teachers, lawyers and other people who save lives and help us, or is it just the ones that are stealing our jobs?

    Well it's a **** term for an inaccurate analysis of my generation. I don't know how else I was supposed to respond.

    It wasn't hysterical. Imagine I overheard you saying it in the pub, turned around, said that over my shoulder and went back to my conversation. Like that.

    How is it right ethically that we cherry pick healthcare professionals from other poorer countries?
    Does it harm their populations and degrade their health services?

    Why do we see this as a positive?

    It's not religion or politics, though. Either stick to the rules and close a thread because of that or make the rules clearer. If people want to discuss it, why should it be closed just because it annoys some people?

    Well we don't kidnap them and bring them here, they have a choice. They don't have to leave their home country do they? But they do so for a better life, just like the other migrants. It's just further along the scale.

    Then that's the fault of the people leaving, not the country they are leaving for.

    Well then it's unethical of this country to entice them to leave their own countries.

    No it isn't, it's no more unethical than us buying things from other countries. Many aren't being enticed, they come from poorer countries and know they can have a better life doing their job here. A third of NHS doctors were born abroad, mostly because British doctors are training and then leaving (although the new law about paying back training costs if you leave will probably slow that down) for other countries.

    You're detracting from the main point, which is the thousands of people currently sat at Calais. There wouldn't be an issue if they were all doctors and lawyers. They'll probably get jobs as cucumber pickers or whatever, yet that pisses some British people off something chronic, people claim they are 'stealing the jobs of hardworking British people'. But it's bullshit, British people don't want these jobs, they think it's beneath them. Why go out and work when they can lie to a job centre and get free money? Plus, if you can't get a job because a Romanian bloke who is just as skilled beat you to the post, it probably wasn't the job for you.

    See I don't believe he does at all. My issue is not with her going there to meet them, I believe she has done a great thing doing that. Did I dispute that? No I didn't. I also believe James thinks anyone who disagrees with him reads the Daily Mail, I don't and never will.

    Just because I believe something different to you and James doesn't mean you should ridicule me. It's having an opinion.

    I believe those in Calais should claim asylum in Calais, what's wrong with that? That's not Xenophbia or racism. I believe they are in a safe country and I believe they should claim asylum there.

    I believe immigration is an excellent thing, and we have reaped the rewards of it, and I would never leave the EU if I had my way. So please don't jump to conclusions like James O'Brien has in that post.

    I believe she doesn't and I know you will probably think the same. I agree I am all for highlighting the issue and having more discussions in parliament about it.

    The issue has to be solved but the issue will not be solved by allowing them all into the UK that solves nothing. Letting them come into the UK will just encourage more people to risk their lives to get to France to get in. Surely the answer is an even distribution throughout the developed world (Including USA and China).

    We need to get the NHS to a stage where we don't need to import labour.
    We need to pay better wages so that excess unused indigenous labour resources fill agricultural jobs (we never seem to hear any poor produce farmers on the telly, they all seem prosperous unlike the dairy equivalents).
    We need to export Lily Allen as far away as possible to a place where there are no recording studios.

    Of course they were inventions from the past you stupid prat. No one has overtaken us despite you reckoning we have fallen behind. Feel free to tell me how they improved penicillin, one of the greatest life savers of all time.Anyone beat Mallard's record with their superiorbsteam locomotives.
    You can say the same about being able to buy things other countries export beingbavailable elsewhere.
    Makes you wonder why so many people want to come to this supposedly crap country. The amount of French people in London make it about the third largest French city.
    Any great inventions by Faroe Islanders which have changed the world?

    No surprise a teacher is a Brit hating **** who runs the country down.

    Sending anyone of Faroe Islands descent back would improve the country.

    You ranted a load of ****e about Lilly Allen, it had **** all to do with the plight of those in Calais, it was a personal attack on a woman who went to volunteer at a refugee camp and use her celebrity to highlight their plight.

    I jumped to no conclusions, I merely read what you posted, thought it inaccurate and generally twattish, so I pulled you up on it. <ok>
