It’s clearly apparent they are economic migrants, it’s costing us millions to deal with them, I’d deport them on bloc. Bad laws need changing. 

is it? Have you read each one case by case? 
 

Anyway, last time I heard, we were crying out for fruit and veg pickers.

Weird how we are struggling for fruit and veg pickers but there’s no shortage of Albanian criminals!

It depends where you live surely, I'm not sure there are too many where I live. Unless they're keeping themselves well hidden

Silly you indeed 

Just as a bit of balance, here is a great article in today's Mirror, about a lovely Albanian I know who neither picks fruit or is in a criminal gang.

Astounding how many head in the sand types there are. "I've never seen an Albanian criminal". I suppose the next line is "I've never been attacked by an Islamic terrorist" or "Grooming gangs have never bothered me".

If you extend this to its natural conclusion, presumably they don't think we need to fund something as expensive as MI5 etc? It's all overblown - they aren't a threat.

Then again, we mustn't forget those 'far right' mothers and fathers trying to protect their children in Knowsley etc. must we?

He's one post away from phoning in talk radio.

As always - I expect the truth is somewhere between these two extremes. 

I've no doubt there are people in genuine need making the crossing - but I've also no doubt that a significant proportion are economic migrants. 

Is there any data which tells us 

1) The estimated number of people arriving legally and illegally?

2) The number of people from group 1 who apply for asylum

3) The number of people from group 1 who are granted asylum

4) The number of people from group 1 who disappear or go missing in the system? 

That's one way to figure out to what extent the system is or isn't being abused. 

Without all that data - we're all just guessing aren't we?

He is Kosavan, they were at war and therefore a bona fide refugee... Now tell me where the current war is raging in Albania... you do see the difference don't you?

You’d think with him nearly dying 3 times on the journey over (not in the war) he would be urging people not to make the crossing as it’s to dangerous 🤷🏻‍♂️

He was still an illegal immigrant. He'd have been slung out now. You do see the issue, don't you?

Yes there is, it's all pretty accessible which is why this new legislation won't get passed.

There was a recent radio 4 programme about it, and the numbers missing because of lack of processing was scary if I recall.

So him not sending himself an an eleven year old is the same as telling grown blokes not to make the journey?  Haha ok then 👍

Oh, petal, you're doing your old gishy gallop thing again.

I'm afraid, your gold star has to be taken back.

Maybe next week.

No where does he try to tell people not to make the journey, this would have been a great time and platform for him. Obviously he just wanted a few lines in a red top to boost his profile.
