Well you seem to hate this country with every fibre of your being, so you have the option to escape to somewhere more "nicer".

 

Oh I've given my simple solution to the economic migrants, they are not refugee's so back home they must go.

 

A refugee seeks safety in the 1st safe country, not a global trek around half the planet like some gap yar student.

That's where you're wrong, I'm actually quite fond of the place. I don't like the right-wing governance and the way things are seemingly going but I like to think that something has to give at some point. It's looking like the Green Party are overtaking Labour in the polls up here which I consider to be a good thing.

Your idea of a refugee and mine are at odds and are unlikely to change. 

Have a good weekend.

Gary Lineker has been stood down as MOTD presenter, he was good, but it’s basically a football highlights show so anyone could do it.

Ian Wright won’t do the show tomorrow in solidarity, so every cloud and all that..

I don’t think he cares, he’s made a ton of money. I think he wanted to go down in flames saying what he wanted to say.

Yet after the criticism he seemed arrogant enough to think he would get away with that.

Maybe arrogance, maybe he didn’t give a shit.

Why not just do what every other EU country does, pay zero benefits or support.

 

No money = no attraction

 

They arrive here, we offer one option.

1. Free flight home, submit a claim from there and we'll look at it eventually or just ban you like Australia.

 

Many genuine asylum seekers can’t claim asylum from their own countries, due to our ridiculous laws, hence they get in small boats in northern France to land on our beech’s, all the while paying people traffickers whilst governments fiddle with it to try to please the masses.

I'm not sure if you've looked at a map, the rule is 1st safe country, not the 2/3/4/5/6th.

 

If you're moving from an unsafe country to a safer country it's not like shoe shopping you don't walk around trying on different ones.
