That was from memory, and I can't remember the numbers - granted there aren't many, from what I remember they were for opposing the Rwandan government - speaking out against them and 'disappearances'. Personal opinion is that it is a very flawed policy, but if it appeases Farage then so be it. More concerning if your thing is immigration are the million flying in every year (economic migrants - the ones Government sanctioned to steal our jobs). However photos and videos of them leaving the airports looking like any British holiday maker doesn't make good news coverage for Farage, no money in that. Asylum seeker - often fleeing for their lives - are much easier targets.

 

 

And before you all go shouty (well, not all), standing on your little hill shouting "you shouldn't be here" is going to do nothing, if you want the system to change then you have to engage with the system. 500 posts here saying "there are migrants" has so far reduced that number by, errr 0.

But to change the subject... saw this last night and set me thinking, 2 men in the US froze to death searching for Big Foot. For all the high tech equipment trying to find a mystical being is done by crashing through the trees on foot (how about a plane with police style thermal imaging... could cover miles and miles an hour, pick up all unusual heat sources).

 

What do you reckon, big foot or no big foot? (I am going probably not)... and then for those who spend their working time in UK woods and forests.. what is out there in the UK that shouldn't be (thinking more big cats rather than Albanians of course!). Rumour is we have a European Lynx round this way, got the trail cam out to see what there is.

Officials started searching for the pair on Christmas after a relative reported them missing.

No one is angry or shouting regardless of how hard you push that worn out false narrative. 
Your above comment undermines the whole argument you try to make,I asked a few days ago, which is the nearest war torn country they are fleeing?? And whilst on the subject how many peaceful safe countries have they crossed though before coming here ??. You’d have to be utterly deluded to not realise our system is being utterly abused for nothing other than purely economic reasons. 
The Rwanda scheme was working before it was even operational in-as much as people were deterred from coming or were crossing into Southern Ireland just at the prospect of it, I presume you are aware of the former head of UK border force’s comment “ We will not stop the small boats unless we have an effective deterrent “ that’s not my words that’s the man who was in charge of the agency tasked with securing our borders. Labour and its human rights lawyer indoctrinated leader threw the baby out with the bath water in a fit of ideological stupidity. We now have zero deterrent and as every day passes people with an ounce of common sense are waking up to that. 

Try putting your ludicrous bias and relentless digging away at my posts aside and use a bit of common sense. 
In regards legal immigration I have been banging on about “ train our own people “ ever since Blair opened the doors years ago and destroyed the youth training/ apprenticeship culture, so yes mass immigration does not work long term in fact most studies are finding it a long term negative on our figures not a plus as is often stated. 
Try the simple geography questions first eh 👍

🤷‍♂️Enjoy your day SP.

I didn’t in reality think for one moment you’d actually answer a straight question. 
I’ll leave you to your creative editing. 
Whilst you sit and try to deceive people just take a look at the numbers for this year SP. That’s the taxes of over 213000 hard working people just to fund  one years worth 🤷‍♂️ yet idiots like you keep trying to justify it. IMG_2085.thumb.png.2183b5175edd3f363db0e3e13795d48d.png

and the cats?

 

 

See why this thread is kind of dying and frustrating... you should create your own thread the JohnsonD Spamming Thread.

 

 

 

So to catch up before he went off on one (again) - news story Today... couple of US 'big foot hunters' froze to death.... is Big Foot a thing or just a handy myth to let (mostly) US blokes have a good excuse for a weekend out in the forests (not shooting) and what about more home grown things in the woods, are there UK wild cats out there?

 

 

(edit: The big cat thing.... had a couple of conversations over the last couple of months, a couple of serious blokes (by their profession anyway) have been convinced, one by a 'dog walker how knows his stuff' and another by the local council tree man contractor with scratch marks on trees that were 'claws' (not deer horns). Always been sceptical but I don't spend all my work time out in the woods.)

Id say a near 100% no to big cats UK "wilderness" area  is small and and wildlife camera trap etc are  cheap now so why zero evidence, even though theres being rumours for yrs?

That's always been my thoughts but the blokes the other week made me think, plus over the years one or 2 others.

 

 

However some of the members here spend days out in the forests, on the big estates, working or shooting, might know something more concrete than rumours.

 

 

 

(for big foots, to get a big foot carcase would be worth millions "I thought it was a bear so shot it", live even more, if there was anything out there big money would be in it rather than 2 blokes with a dodgy phone camera. UK wild cats not so much money to find one "So what, you have a European Lynx carcase" type of thing, rumours being rumours that farmers shooting them just bury them else they get all sorts walking over the fields, dogs in with livestock, crops trampled)
