    It's actually very few protests with a dozen people attending at most, often victims.

    I wonder if the protests would have been attended in greater numbers or at all, if the perpetrators were black?

    The Dublin Regulation

    The fact is that Brexit has made the English Channel more vulnerable to small boat crossings because it has removed the UK from an agreed mechanism that ensured asylum seekers arriving from another EU country could be returned to it to have their applications for asylum processed.

    This provision was initially negotiated between EU members back in 1990 and is known as the Dublin Regulation. It remains in force, but because of Brexit we are no longer a party to it.

    What does that mean in practice? Before Brexit, when the UK was in the EU, the UK could send asylum seekers back to the EU country that they entered first after escaping persecution in their homeland.

    Naturally, the UK could also receive asylum seekers if it was the first country of entry. All this happened automatically under the Dublin Regulation, linked to a shared EU database called Eurodac.

    Eurodac is a fingerprint database that helps manage asylum applications and facilitates the implementation of the Dublin Regulation. It stores and compares fingerprints of asylum seekers and irregular migrants to determine which EU member state is responsible for examining an asylum claim. Eurodac also supports law enforcement efforts in investigating, detecting, and preventing terrorism and serious crime.

    When someone applies for asylum or is apprehended while crossing an external border illegally, their fingerprints are taken and entered into Eurodac. The database is used by all 27 EU member states and four associated countries: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.

    Since Brexit the Dublin Regulation has no longer applied to the UK, with the consequence that the UK cannot automatically return asylum seekers to EU countries based on where they first entered.

    If Brexit created the influx of illegal boat migrants, why do Trade Unionists & government funded far leftist groups like stand up to racism, Labour councillors & Socialist worker newspaper salesmen protest for more refugees ?

    That's true actually. Certainly Germany as a whole won. So did Japan <laugh>

    Italy let them down though.

    They don't care if everyone can see they're spouting nonsense, as long as they get the attention they crave.

    It's sad, but there it is.

    “This is not a government-funded post; the mosque pays for it out of community donations. The DWP advertises many jobs to help people obtain employment.”
    The statement added: “We have withdrawn the job in question and have asked the DWP to remove it from its website. The job advert will be reworded to avoid future misunderstanding.”

    Literally took me seconds to disprove an obvious lie.
