    I don’t begrudge them it as long as it’s not at the expense of the lowest-paid in their workforce although £80k a week is pushing it. Corbyn proposed limiting CEOs to something like 20x the lowest worker’s salary.

    So does 120k
    According to the mail
    Are there any houses left in Ealing that aren't worth a million

    The union Grinch holding Christmas to 'ransom': Firebrand RMT boss Mick Lynch who is paralysing Britain with crippling rail strikes earns £120,000-a-year total pay package and lives in London home worth nearly £1m

    If he gets his union members a decent pay deal then he’s definitely worth the money

    Yay you say
    Are the tories running France
    Are they in charge of European immigration rules that allow people to travel all the way across it to pay to get into a dingy
    If labour win the next election and don't allow everyone in will it still be the tories fault when illegal immigrants die on the trip

    Possibly large number of migrants drowned in the Channel. I blame Macron. If France allowed the dinghies to be taken back to their coast, it would break the model of organised crime, and the problem would be solved for France and the UK.

    It wasn't a joke, I was taking aim at the sick ****ers who post laughing emojis on social media stories about people drowning.

    I blame this Tory government (pick a PM). The French have offered to assist the UK in setting up a processing centre in France, which would mean the these desperate people wouldn't need to risk their lives getting here before being able to apply for asylum.

    A processing centre in France would not stop the dinghies because most of those coming over at the moment (Albanians) are not asylum seekers and wouldn't get off first base in their application.

    We don’t reject the majority of Albanian asylum claims though so presumably there’s some merit or it’s just a government ploy to outrage the permanently outraged.

    Let's hope the ones that drowned were Albanian criminals, then. You seem to have a lot of knowledge of the validity of current asylum applications considering that only 4% of applications from 2021 have actually been processed so far. If we provide legal means for asylum seekers to get here, or the ability to apply from overseas, those that continue to cross the Channel would, by default, be illegal. The traffickers would be out of a job.

    It's clear Albanians are gaming the system and misusing modern slavery laws. Albanian economic migrants are returned from most of Europe:

    The idea that a processing centre in France would stop the people smugglers is comic.
