We have too many immigrants coming over by boat and there are too many people in this country now though.

IF you have to go through several safe counties en route to the UK ,and then employ a gangster to smuggle you into a country and pay them an eye watering amount of money to do so, then by definition you are not poor, nor a genuine asylum seeker. There are channels in place for genuine asylum seekers to the UK, none of which include smuggling you into the UK at vast cost to the underworld. Anyone who says the majority are genuine asylum seekers are gullible fools. Genuine asylum seekers already have a legal route at little cost.

In the UK now, if you have any opinion that is some way different to the agenda set out by the MSM, then you are instantly labelled as 'far right' which instantly pigeon holes you into the same category as Tommy Robinson. the EDL and the National Front. They do this so you appear to the sheeple, that you are affiliated to those extreme organisations so you either shut up or you get shut up. If you dare suggest there are too many immigrants coming over in boat, you are now far right, if you suggest we have too many people in this country you are far right...it's all done so in the end you comply with how they think you 'should' be thinking.

I suppose that depends which news (MSM) you read. Try bigging up Corbyn on a Faily Mail article, you'll find the same vilification there.

People on here tried to pigeon hole me as some kind of Citizen Smith character due to their perception of my views. Bless them. 

I agree there are too many people coming over here in boats.

We should have taken up the French on their offer of a visa processing facility in France.

I'm not a fan of extremists, I'm not bothered which flag they shag.

Interesting to see how political affiliation influences our perception of things, perhaps it's down to the media we digest:
 

YOUGOV.CO.UK

Islamic terrorism tops the list, although attitudes among Conservative and Labour voters differ significantly

 

I’ll do the maths Mark

Got bugger all to do with political affiliations bud.

I don't think there are too many people, I think that the infrastructure could do with upgrading. I was down in Conyer the other week and I can see why you'd think there were too many people, Kent roads are rammed. 

I agree about the boats.

It has got something to do with the messaging of the press that people of different political viewpoints read though.

I guess that makes a lot of us and a growing number very right wing

No it’s got everything to do with the screen grabs of the articles I posted 

Or to put it another way “facts”
