You lost you demented little cretin, get over it and concentrate on your job you terrorist sympathiser.

We do have processing centres, but not enough capacity as the system is so slow and so many are arriving.

Hence the hotels to accommodate them in the meantime. 

Numbers arriving won't change whilst they're getting top accommodation, medical treatment, food etc, and freedom to wander about.

Life of fucking Riley.

But yes, an island as far north as possible, an accommodation ship or whatever. Get it done, and get people their jobs back.

You’re being unfair. They are coming from a life and country none of us would want to experience. 

 

 

 

 

France.

I’m sure we already have them here. Manston? Not sure if they’re kept in or not.

Look at the link I provided. 

It's all there. They are free to some and go, albeit with security on site.

Maybe the locals who have had instances that have raised concerns, should have those taken into consideration in the first instance, rather than the rights of the migrants?

Nigel and every other party leader have 4 years to make their plans, Starmer doesn’t. he needs to start doing something quick 

Labour have had a long time to come up with a plan, there is no sign of anything they doing tackling the problem. 
 

If that is still the case in 4 years Nigel Farage will probably be next PM which will be IMO a disaster.

I doubt any of us on here get free accom, food, clothing, internet, and a bit of spends to blow at the bookies 

When my youngest was in his teens, he asked me about politics. I tried to explain the difference between left and right. I said it was his choice at the end of the day though and that he would make his own mind up as he grew older. (We never talk politics now) He asked me about the  LibDems. I said don’t worry about them, they don’t matter.

They never come up in conversation on here. I know some have said they voted for them. Do they matter?

I see the French have now been given permission to stop boats already in the water.

Nigel would probably tell France to fuck off, then do something even better. We just don't know what yet. We might as well give him a try. It's not like he's campaigned for something before without a fucking clue what he'd do afterwards.

It’s weird the obsession with Nigel Farage on here. All we have been hearing the last few years is how bad the tories are and how things will change under Labour. Labour get in and it’s Nigel this, Nigel that 🤷🏻

They can’t be any worse. 
This is of course a joke. 
It’s what everyone was saying before the election. 

It was also a joke then.

LibDems have 72 mp’s. Reform 5. You wouldn’t know it unless you checked.

How come so many keep coming every day if it's so bad?

I'd hazard a guess that where they came from is even shitter?

Nothing to do with Farage and Tice being given airtime every single day on all the main media channels of course, while the Lib Dems and Greens get none whatsoever.

France? 

The beaches of Albania and Vietnam or Daubhill and Deane with easy access to Queens Park, it’s a no brainer

So they pay thousands to come here and sit in hotels on £9 a week, and they can't get better in any of those places?

Why don't they just book a flight instead of paying smuggling gangs to come on a boat?

We all know that you only come on here for an argument but it gives me and others a chance to highlight some issues. They have come through various countries to get here. Why?

Over 80% men. (ignore Darren  jones) Why?

My Aunty used to work and live at the ROF complex in Chorley. Pity it closed years ago, it would have been perfect to accommodate the thousands of ‘irregular’ migrants coming weekly. 
 

2 questions there. Over to you.

I don't know. What do you think?

Makes sense, one way flight from Charles De Gaulle £15.99 on Easyjet, save a few grand and pay for accommodation to tide them over until they get a job, simple

To repeat

If you’ve successfully fled a war torn country and made it as far as a G7 country, that for me is where your journey should end.

I’m sympathetic to their plight but they shouldn’t be given a choice which country they go to. It’s not a fucking TUI brochure.

Firstly, the vast majority don't come to the UK.

As for the ones that do - a lot of them probably speak English and/or have relatives here. Or maybe they read our right-wing press that tells them they'll get a free house and car, and as many luxuries as they want?

Pretty sure most people seeking asylum throughout history have sent their adult males first. It would be a bit daft to send the 4 year old daughter.

The ROF in Chorley is now Buckshaw Village, housing hundreds of British families. It's ironic you think it should be populated by migrants instead.
