  1. I had to look up QAnon to find out what it was. How are these people that believe it not in asylums ?
  2. Good to know that Donald is addressing the serious issues ; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-53761744 "So showerheads - you take a shower, the water doesn't come out. You want to wash your hands, the water doesn't come out. So what do you do? You just stand there longer or you take a shower longer? Because my hair - I don't know about you, but it has to be perfect. Perfect,"
  3. Is that a 'loving and caring' toaster ?
  4. I reckon a higher being is taking offence at the blasphemy(etc) thread.
  5. So, what do Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, and Iraq have in common ? Do we not have some degree of moral responsibility ?
  6. The Bible is a selected subset of religious texts brought about by the Synods held in 393AD and the succeding few years, which created the first true version of the Catholic doctrine.There are plenty of texts and gospels that were omitted, sometimes referred to as the Apocrypha, as they didn't conform to the overall "message" that the Bishops wanted to send. The Protestant Bible differs slightly in content, particularly in the OT.
  7. You said that France was happy for the migrants to cross the channel as they would not be a burden on their housing, health, and education services, yet for every person floating around on a RIB there are 30 that have applied for Gallic asylum.
  8. Nothing in the news said it was a left hand drive car.
  9. I sincerely hope that you aren't referring to me.

  11. Perhaps the answer is that whilst He could intervene, his attitude is "I gave you the garden of Eden and you fucked up; I cleansed the World in a great flood to give you a fresh chance, and you fucked up; I gave you my only son to save you from your sins, and you continue to fuck up. Now you can bloody well sort out your own mess". Not exacty a loving and caring God, more the frustrated parent of a recalcitrant chld, who will 'be there' when the child realises the error of his/her ways.
  12. France received 129 thousand asylum applications last year, the UK received less than 50 thousand. The numbers crossing the channel represent less than 1% of total immigration to the UK. In January, at the end of the Brexit transition period, the current treaty by which we can send them back expires.
  13. I don't think any camp could be on the mainland, and the point about the islands the Aussies use is that they are all a long way away. Also, I don't think you can moor anything "a few miles off the coast"; things like prison hulks in the 18th and 19th centuries were still in harbours.
  14. Whilst this is true, where do we have that can be used to create camps as the Australians have on PNG and other Pacific islands ?

  16. Why would anybody be surprised ?
  17. Given that emigration from the UK to EU countries is said to have gone up by 30% compared to pre-Brexit figures, maybe we need some of these immigrants ?
  18. Stick them on Portsea Island ?
  19. Much of the surface fleet, plus ( obvs ) all of the subs, would be useless in such operations. What exactly are the RN going to do ? Blockade the French coast ? Ram and sink RIBs overloaded with women and children ? Get them off their boats and dump them back on the French beaches ?
  20. Police
  21. Dunkirk 1940 Dieppe 1942 Normandy 1944
  22. You are not claiming that the Channel is a war zone, are you ? Mind you, some might claim that the refugee/ migrant problem is a direct result of our political failings.

  24. I've got no idea, perhaps you should contact PA and ask them. Where did you hear your snippet ? There's nothing in any news outlet I can find that says anything other than Priti Patel has decided that it's a good idea, ( which almost certainly means it isn't ). Not my description, the MoD source. Do you mean in the same way that what some describe as Brexiteers are in fact xenophobic ?
