Another great day of culture wars. Tories OUT. Out, and out again. Out OUT OUT.

No she couldn't. And it's could 'of'. FFS!

I wouldn't be able to drive that far today to check. It took the missus an hour to get back from Canterbury (normally a 10 minute journey) earlier. I tried to drive to Macknade (which is on the A2 on the edge of Faversham) and gave up, and had to shop in Morrisons :eek:. And the last train I...

You should see the state of the roads down here. And the trains :facepalm:

To the form of posting links that inform a particular agenda, sure. That link is more than 6 months old and does not say that the Albanian is a refugee, or an illegal immigrant. He was described as a van driver. However, no doubt you have logged the provenance. That said, it may be time you...

Cheers for that. A knotty problem all round.

Apologies. Your prose is always a bit spartan and it isn't often obvious what point it is you are trying to make. The first part, 'arrive by controlled process' is a little mystifying. Are you talking about people who are currently arriving by illegal transport? I presume so because those...

Your point could be that this is awful and reflects lack of supervision by the so-called authorities. Or it could be something else. Hmmmm......

Here is a legitimate point. He ignored 98% of my post to quibble about 2%. Very tiresome.

OK, Albanians. Now what? What's your solution and how does 'it is Albanians' absolve the Tories from their shit show?

Really? Who? And this is your issue? What is your agenda? It seems to me you are seeking to engineer a new context. What is your solution?

Nice post. Didn't know about the suicides. Yes, I would agree that these are difficult times. I deplore the way this is being exploited by the Tories, using illegal immigrants as the trope, to garner electoral support for themselves, stoking the fear and anxiety and identifying a scapegoat. It...

Thanks. That's quite a surprise. The tory trope is that most asylum seekers are 'illegal'. Fancy that.

I saw it the other day or heard it. On the BBC. I find it odd that it is this that you have become fixated on this morning. What would you prefer? 0%? 90%.

I'm not sure why he's nit-picking over this. The nitpicking is part of the problem, not the solution. And incidentally there will not be a solution all the while this continues to be weaponized by the right.

What's your solution?

My point is that the tories are focusing on Albanian criminal gangs as if this is the sole reason for the 'crisis'. It isn't.

15%. Not enough to saturate a sheet of tissue paper. What about the other 85%? Blaming Albanian criminals for the current crisis is yet more weaponizing of 'immigration' by the tory rats. See my post above.

My brother works finding temporary accommodation for asylum seekers. The young males mostly vanish the day after they are housed. There is no system, let alone a failed system. I agree that every case should be dealt with on merit, but the conservatives have never been prepared to spend the...
