^^^This hence the large overseas aid budget! ;)

Water under the bridge now what happened, happened end of story.

Problem is how do you deal with thousands of people trying to invade an island? Because that's what is happening, what approach do we take.

Do we stand at arms and shoot them?

Do we accept them with open arms?

Do we deport them to the nearest safe country they left?

Do we imprison them?

Do we set up a segregated island for them?

Its like what the hell can we do, that is ethical and manageable. :confused:

Answer is bugger all! :mad:
 
All you can do is try and make it not your problem by ensuring they get no further than France.

This will be quite an interesting test for the government - they know the anti-immigration rhetoric is popular in the UK and any sort of deal with France that involves people coming here will see them ripped to pieces in the press.

All our ships are in the Mediterranean picking these people up and dropping them off in Greece.

Greece then gives them all EU passports and then they take the next bus to the UK.

Stupid isn't the word :(

It's almost as if this is a massively complex and difficult problem to which there is no easy and obvious answer...

I imagine letting them move through your country into someone else's means part of the problem isn't there any more.

This is a pan european problem as you say though, it will take cooperation from many countries to tackle the issue.

How on earth do you establish if someone is an economic migrant or someone who is genuinely seeking asylum.

I do not disagree, however, someone had to do it... it was the way of the world, an unstoppable force that in some respects was just, it's nice that we can look at an archaic era with rose tinted glasses.

But we would be stupid to just throw it all away when the world is at its weakest, the migration crisis hasn't truly begun, when the Mediterranean is so toxic that even North Africa cant feed itself, we'll see the real movement.

Careful what you say, you have the lily livered Liberals calling for you to be banned! :p

It reminds of world war z Israel scene, as in we playing the free health care, benefits and housing trumpet too loud!

I would post the scene but its not family friendly, not in language but the scene is a little gruesome.

Anyone interested in my thought search youtube for MmdJnSASoTA! ;)
 
I think it looks worse than it is, there are lots of illegal immigrants in Europe. When moving between countries most of the time they have an entire border to sneak through. The channel tunnel is a choke point and if there were more ways in to the UK we wouldn't notice the problem.

I can't help but notice that virtually all the people I see on either TV in Calais getting in the back of trucks & trains or here in Kent at the side of the road are mainly 18-40 year old men, no women or children (although there must be some).

If that was directed at my opinion earlier than I'd think again about what you post.

When you've been involved in every conflict since 2007 that Britain has taken part in including operations going on now then feel free to come back and label me a lily livered liberal.

Until you're prepared to sign up and do something for your country rather than complain on a forum linking daily mail articles you might want to hold off on judgement of others.

I've done it so no reason you can't grow some and step up from behing your keyboard. Might learn something about other cultures too.

Don't talk to me about conflict and army as I have lost a good friend, no thanks to the IRA! :mad:

What is it with the beef about the Dailymail? Its skim news if you interested then you go to the independent or the telegraph etc.
I skim news I do not take every thing I read literally. :rolleyes:

On topic

I have this feeling and I have posted it before, but I find it a very poignant statement.


Is it me or is that what the media are portraying??? :confused:

Or do I need a tinfoil hat ! :p
