I agree about Albanians.

Id process the rest based on merit.

Would you?

Yes. If they’ve fled a war zone. I believe that we should take our share.

How about this. Blanket ban on all immigrants/asylum seekers/refugees for the next 12-18 months. Get all these who are back logged processed then a cross party agreement on getting housing, schooling, surgeries, mosques, temples, roads sorted. At the same time open applications for those wanting to move over here in 18 months via a safe and legal route. 
 

That way we know who’s coming, know what jobs they can be put into, know which schools they can attend etc. 

No point telling us. Speak to your local MP, and get him to bring it up in Parliament. Once you've spoken to him/her, let us know and we call all rally round, and make sure it gets the publicity it requires. 

Good on you for trying to make a difference

I'd agree with that, there must be plenty of "brownfield" sites up and down the country they could/should be building on

Ask your MP, they should be able to get the answers for you, then we can all rally round and support you. 
 

Well done for trying to make a change

I've met, and spoken to Richard Fuller twice in the last six months, and asked him to try and accelerate the development of RAF Henlow. Sadly, he just doesn't seem interested. 

He's a massive Tory cunt though, so no massive suprise

You should have let us know earlier and we could have all rallied round. Oh well. Well done for trying though.

Thanks, and I'll keep trying, purely because I want things to get a bit better, even if it's small incremental steps. I appreciate that you don't, but that's your prerogative, and I respect that. I'd just rather get on with it, than just always want to try and score points with a bit of mindless "whataboutery" like some people do.

You should send an e mail, a couple of posters have tried that before apparently it’s the thing to do. Keep us all updated 👍

Incredible story and perhaps an explanation, to those who need one, why people risk their lives for the chance of a better one.

All because someone was born on the wrong side of line on a map.

No, because it's the old school playing fields that they're building on 🙂

A local school about 5 miles away is expanding though, as are a few in Biggleswade, so they'll get in somewhere, just not in the village that they live in

My youngest is off to secondary in Sept, she decided not to do the Kent Test so she's off to a comp. It's a brand new school, only opened last year so there us only one intake already there, near us there is also a brand new school, seem like they are popping up all over the shop in Kent.

Before I just guessed you weren't the sharpest tool, now we all know.

Brilliant stuff this RW, that's a belter of a post.

My point, and I’ll run this by you slowly, is that no Albanian (as far as I am aware) is threatened by war. Albanian ‘refugees’ are predominantly young males and all should have been fucked off back to Albania on the day they landed on our shores. They are economic migrants at best and gangsters at worst.  
The current government, and their civil servants, have screwed this up. Unfortunately, I don’t believe that a Labour administration would have done this any differently. We’ll never know, of course. Until Sir Keir takes the reins after the next General Election. 

But also many Albanians came over in the early/mid 90s when there was conflict in the region.

So you already have a diaspora caused by war, which leads to a tail end of migrants because of family ties and now second generation British Albanians.

This stuff isn't easy, nor is it quick. It's generational issues we are talking about and simplifying it helps no one.

But to start we need to stop using asylum seekers as political leverage, concentrate on the real home affair issues and start building up a more effective process to help those who come to our shores seeking refuge.

That’s some story that. Clearly weren’t expecting to go that far, the other two went back!

Just goes to show that an economic migrant can be equally as desperate as an asylum seeker. Sometimes more so. 1200 Nigerians have died already this year making the journey. 
 

I don’t have all the answers, Europe can’t accommodate them all but we can start by doing more to reduce emissions & support developing countries to adapt. As a lot of Africans leaving are climate refugees.

It was nice to see him have a go and take a break from his usual whataboutery antics and telling everyone else how stupid they are.

Shame he didn’t think about any of the logistics or legalities of it all before posting.

Actual facts don't clutter the thoughts of someone like RW. Must be a nice world to Iive in.

Its a bit like Brexit innit.

All ideas that sound great or attainable on paper.

Stop the boats, blanket bans, send em all back, control our own borders, Australian points style system, fill the water with sharks, regain our sovereignty, make Britain great again

In wanna moonkwalk son...

Indeed, big simplistic headlines for complex problems that require long, boring admin and hard work.

So you just continue letting people come over and do nothing about it? “Process them faster” which ends up with more homeless faster, more kids with no schools faster, people with no Drs faster. Run me by yours and NICs ideas again.
