Have this for context, hundreds turned up at Calais to get over here, they were told to go to Paris to get their papers sorted... only a 600km round journey when they've been tramping for days on end.

Missed this eG5err...

 

Have this (back) for context....

 

For all the gum smacking faux outrage and indignant pouting....

 

Yome pissing up the wind, pulling a hairy shirt on and getting wrapped around the axle about numbers and processes which completely misses the point which appears common in many ‘refugee’ scenarios. 
 

The ‘solution’ to safe haven for millions of displaced people will NEVER be in 10s, 100s, 1000s of refugee applications. It is futile posture politics. 
 

The ‘solution’, especially in this case where it ‘seems’ the majority will actually want to return to their country of origin, is in temporary bulk / expeditionary accommodation  as close as practically / safely possible to the country of origin. 
 

50, 500, 5000 - piss & wind / smoke & mirrors. 
 

Good to see a nation with the kahunas to send the women and kids out and require the men to stay and effect a defence - a notable change from recent example.

There’s a lot of needless rowing going on here. We’re all in the timber game, like it or not, and we pretty much all sing from the same hymn sheet.   J has touched a nerve with me about

My wife is a social worker and she has 30 cases when she should only have 12. She works in child services as well. Its easy to blame social workers but they are short staffed and underfunded.

Maybe, but listening to Priti awful and Rees Dog you would think we are doing more than other countries, we aren't. Why haven't we set up shop in Calais to process these people?

 

Totally agree that strong/fit men should stay behind to defend the country.

Bercow’s due on LBC in a minute or two with Ian Dale. Will be interesting to hear what he has to say fir himself. 
 

I suspect he will claim a stitch up from the civil service that hold all the trump cards when someone recognises / challenges / attempts to rectify incompetence and that he is the victim.

Basket case my ****************ing arse! It would be hard at first, but Scotland would have to become a different entity, not a mini-England. I think it would do quite well as it has several niches it could carve out. The UK is a basket case already, it just borrows and borrows and has built its entire financial markets around the permanence of government borrowing.

Call me biased, but I am sick to my guts of old Etonian arrogant pricks trying to make us feel grateful to get a share of what is already ours. As I always say, I'd rather we made an arse of it ourselves than had an arse made of it for us by unaccountable wankers that we haven't chosen and never can oust even when the whole of Scotland votes against the UK majority. It might even cure scots of their unhealthy reliance on blaming England for all its woes. In fairness, England's only to blame for some of them. Some of them are universal woes, and we are resilient enough to manage them as competently as Bojo and his bumbling cohorts. With or withour EU. With or without russian gas. With or prefereably without nukes. Now there's a book-balancer in one stroke of the pen.

Missed it. He's already been bitching about being stitched up earlier today.
