🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

So this is you argument ??

Because I work with and get along fine with a variety of nationalities by your reasoning I should be happy for them all to come here 🤷‍♂️are you genuinely stupid or so naive as to offer that up. We as a nation are everything I said. Illegal channel crossing on an industrial scale such as we are witnessing is just not sustainable. Christ you were a gullible  fool during covid but that’s grasping at straws.

When the last labour government was in power there was about 4 asylum seekers crossing the channel in a small boat, now there are thousand, a real success of Tory policies, from nothing to a thriving industry of small businesses making a go of it. We should celebrate that.

We should.

 

Alot of these immigrants have the kind of fiber the majority of British young people lack. Pluck,courage,determination in the face of adversity.  Boats full of the very minerals that endeared Brown Bear Grylls and Ranulph Fiennes to the British public.

No mate, you've completely missed the point again. It was nothing to do with your rainbow nation of work buddies.

It just seemed like a glaring irony for you to use the words tolerant and open! Made me chuckle. Did anyone else get that, or was it just me?

 

No biggie anyway.

If I scream at the Internet loud enough,will those numbers change?

 

Or should I divert the discussion by telling you all how well I have done?

I reckon the numbers would change, so many people shout so loudly and they'd have to be really silly to keep at it if it made no difference to reality.

I don’t see anyone screaming and I never mentioned anything about myself personally or how I’m doing, I gave you an example of what 6 young people are doing which is totally opposite of the ultra negative opinion you have of ( apparently the majority according to you) British youth looking on from Norway. No attempt at diversion at all. What is funny is the sycophantic schoolboy humour the pro illegal immigration advocates are throwing around to tickle each others egos. Guys you may get just get what you’re after with the current levels crossing that’s if you actually live in the UK. Anyway I’ll stop for dinner now and be back in an hour or so 👍this is at least making an otherwise boring shift a touch more enjoyable.

You do get the difference between illegal and legal I presume?
