A $5k payment to every US adult if his lot win the mid terms. A $1.3 trillion bribe. Finding positives, I suppose you've got to admire the audacity of the bloke, and plenty of struggling American's will be desperate for that money. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62kzr1jg0jo

They were certainly escorted by the french until they reached our waters, but I'm not sure where they were left, and where the RNLI picked them up. I agree that this wasn't a stray boat situation - the IOW or central south coast was the destination.

Fucking hell. You're something else. I think you'll find that most people realise that most people who come here aren't violent thugs, and that nobody is invited. Your response to all of this is not a "natural response", despite what you tell yourself.

Wtf makes you think there's a Russian invasion in the offing?! Sure, they may have a pop at a Baltic state to see what NATO do, but they're not having a crack at us. Blimey.

And as long as Doris can keep her triple locked pension, regardless of whatever else she has. Ditch the triple lock, but keep a welfare top up for pensioners who need more. Means test all disability related benefits, for adults and kids. Sift the needy from the greedy. We can't scrimp on security but people maxing out their ISA allowance and their kids junior ISA allowance with welfare benefits. So fundamentally I agree with you, but with different targets.

Who are "they"?

Yep. We've picked up a few sophisticated enemies recently.

I share your interpretation. Whilst I don't care much for the poster, it seemed clear that he was referring to lost tax revenue from departing selfish greedy bastards.

Yep. Imbruglia is aging well - her now.

I think a basic amenities detention centre, people living god knows how many to a room, is less appealing than a house or hotel. But yep, it's a variation on a theme.

You don't - the same as per HMO'S and hotels.

Yep. In reality it's HMO's or hotels, simply because there's nothing else. I'd build much simpler detention centres, large rooms, bunks, shared bathrooms, very basic facilities. It's about providing somewhere safe and that meets basic needs, nothing more. Sure, it's expensive,but it needs not be anywhere near prison type facilities or expense.

I said similar at the time. Whilst certain things shouldn't have to be said, they're better said than unsaid.

Indeed. We are the solution to France's problem, sadly.

I'm not sure it's that simple. If it is, no issue for me. That Pompey boat yesterday was a disgrace - monitored (escorted) out of french waters and left as our problem.

Yep. All sorts of practical issues as well. It was an expensive change for the sake of change.

Pathetic. So no answer, just rudeness. Best get yourself to Pompey mate, people at your level there.

Simple question mate... difficult answer though, hence you ignored it. Answer in your own time.

What's the answer to my question?

Ok. So, hypothetically, someone who has yet to be approved staggers into a&e, heart attack, stabbed, appendix popped, whatever. What do the medics do, step over them and leave them to die? If you're there with your kids, is that the kind of society you want them to see?

I get that. That defeats the purpose of asylum.

Let's look at the people that do arrive. Choices:. 1. Accomodated. 2. Left to wander, sleeping wherever and disappearing from the system. Which one? If 2, are you ok with them kipping in the field outside your house? I'd prefer they were odd the streets.

Agreed. I don't see the appeal at all. Whatever the appeal is needs to be choked off.
