Is this what taking back control looks like?

My son had a young Afghan lad join his cricket team about 5 years ago when he was still at school. This lad had seen both his parents shot dead at point blank range by the Taliban and so decided to escape, embarking on a long journey hiding in lorries - on his own, aged 14 - to this country. He was picked up at Cobham Services on the M25, not being able to speak a word of English.

When you meet someone like that, putting his life back together after experiences you wouldn't want to see as an adult, never mind experience as a 14 year old kid, you really can't help but admire him and wish him every success in life. Given the choice between living next to someone like that, and a thick gammon prick like [MENTION=41927]TugWilson[/MENTION] happy to blame immigrants for his own failings, I'm pretty sure 95% of us would choose the Afghan lad all day long.

Yep, this lad has had a similar experience. A year to get across Europe, living where he could. He's settled now in a foster family and is learning English - he walks around with a notebook to write down answers to his questions so he can learn words he doesn't know.

Someone as resourceful as that is going to be a great asset to the country in time (decent cricketer too)

He was a quick. And he really was VERY quick!

Our bowling attack will take any variation.

We've just had an Indian join us. That'll upset some here.

I would love you to take a DNA test. This country is a mongrel country of Romans, Anglo Saxons, Vikings, Normans (Norwegians and French) plus members of the Commonwealth that we invaded since the 15th century.
Even Lord Nelson had 22 different nationalities aboard HMS Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar.

As has been rightly pointed out in this thread previously, people have always moved around the world.

I've actually thought of taking one of these tests. I just don't know how accurate they are. If I could be sure I would.

One side of my bio-family is all Celt. Pretty sure the other is all Anglo. But it would be interesting.

Record 430 migrants cross English Channel in single day

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57897601

"Under international law, people have the right to seek asylum in any country they arrive in. There's nothing to say they must seek asylum in the first safe country reached.

An EU law called Dublin III allows asylum seekers to be transferred back to the first member state they were proven to have entered.

However, the UK is no longer part of this arrangement as it has now left the European Union. "

Well done Boris and chums! Now you have taken back control, when are you going to get of your fat arses and actually be in control?

well , by their own actions , they can no longer be in control.....what are they to do now with the asylum seekers ...? push them out at lands end and let them float to mexico..?

West is BEST
A lot of Jews seeking asylum in the U.K. as the Nazis rose to power were treated quite poorly by a handful of ignorants, similar to some of the posters on this thread. I’m glad they are in the minority. Baker Lite et al have a lot to learn.
Brexit. Johnson. Outrage at asylum seekers.
The last howls of a dying ideology.

So what is your solution? Uncontrolled immigration with more and more people crossing the channel to live in a country that is already heavily over-populated, and unable to look after it's elderly and disabled people properly?

My solution is to follow international and domestic rule of law as I stated to you. That is what democracy is. That is why we gave blood on the ground in Europe to fight for the very freedoms that people can land on a beach and be treated as a human being.

If we are unable to look after our elderly and disabled, then you're making a rather huge leap to connect that to immigration and asylum. If we had a proper taxation system in place, with a fairer distribution of wealth, then we'd be able to look after our less fortunate, educate our children AND process people arriving illegally on our shores, observing and respecting their human rights and the rule of law.

Believe me the feeling is mutual oh lily-livered, liberal one. :)

We do not have 'uncontrolled immigration'.

If you genuinely think that then you have been stupid enough to fall for some very unsubtle propaganda.
We had very little control re EU immigration and the fact the government only believed there were 3.7 million (non Irish) EU citizens living here when well over 5 million have applied for settled status suggests the term 'uncontrolled immigration' was fairly accurate.

Fortunately this is no longer a problem as we have taken back control [emoji106]

The funny thing is, immigrants are often the people most likely to care for the elderly and disabled. Pre-Brexit, nearly 20% of social care workers were non-UK nationals. It made me smile (in an ironic, pained way!) when I saw so many elderly people voting for Brexit - when they would increasingly become more reliant on the very people they wanted rid of.

Yes, because I have disagreed with your right wing bullshit, I must be a lily-livered liberal.

I'm going to pop down the beach later on my paddle board and patrol the waters to do my bit to defend against invasion. :facepalm:

So no proof, accuracy or truth then...:lolol::dunce:
You don`t want proof or facts that don`t fit with your beliefs , if you did you would turn of that filter in your head that says all illegal immigrants are poor hard by lost souls . Then you would check the internet and find out for yourself , there is plenty to back both sides but you are only interested in one side so i will leave it up to you and whatever universe you are from , this is not going to end well so i will be leaving it there .

Pretty good proof of the attention span of a goldfish though, when actually asked for evidence, but purely consequential I'm sure :wink:

I cannot remember the name of the piece i saw on on a documentary so didn`t use it , but " anecdottaly " it stated the number of serious crimes especially sexual since the rise in illegal immigrants in the South East has risen drastically .
