I do think that a lot of these human traffickers are telling these desperate people that the UK is still the land of milk and honey and you'll get a free house, job and a warm welcome etc etc.

Maybe some of the cash being spent on persuading the French to round up a few migrants might be better spent on a poster/SM campaign in their home countries explaining that the UK's not like that at all. Maybe some of them wouldn't risk their lives only to find out later that it's not all it's cracked up to be.

I'm liking this idea. We bring back into service the vans that were used as part of Operation Vaken, send them to Tunisia et al but with different messages. Make sure that the messages have alongside them a picture of Priti Patel with that smirk that I recall Marina Hyde described as a nursury school child particularly pleased at having done a number two.

Zero tolerance means giving up the notion that there will ever be a compassionate way of dealing with this and leaving people to die in capsized boats. Yep, dwell on that for a moment.
That would work

In the 1970s GB was regarded as an enlightened and tolerant, inspirational country.
Just where and how did it all go wrong?
GB is now a pathetic, mean spirited and racist back water.
What a sad state of affairs.

Johnson's pathetic delusions of grandeur are just an embarrassment.

Another delusion socialist throwback from Blairs open door policy of allowing loads of immigrants into the country thinking they would vote labour and keep them in power. Dressing it up as multicultural and diversity is good for the country, Multiculturalism doesn't work, never has never will do, we can't even get on with the "sweaty socks" so how the hell are we expected to get on with people who don't understand our culture and don't respect our way of life or rules of the country.

On alias's, which angry racist did Type High used to be? A wind up racist or a genuine racist? Can be hard to differentiate.

Most of the migrants were from the EU and were here legally. They provided the labour for important sectors of the economy like farming and transport. It was a capitalist solution not a socialist one.

The important sectors of the economy are now short of workers, as unharvested crops and empty supermarket shelves demonstrate.

Wages were driven down as the immigrants were prepared to work for lower money, hence the shortage of workers now, employers need to raise wages to a decent level again then.

He doesn't like people. He wants us all dead so that he can walk down Oxford Street on a shopping trip without having to zig zag constantly to avoid a people collision.

Exactly Max. I have always been environmentalist , and yes , definitely the environment first and people second. But lets have a sensible debate about population. I dont care about the population make up of the UK . I only have concern for the numbers. So what do you think a sensible and sustainable population amount would be . Is it 60 million , 80- million , 100 million. At what point would you say " enough is enough " .

I know how many people can get in a 4 seater car , a 100 head restaurant , a 350 seat plane . So why don't we have a figure for a country .

The record for the number of people you can get in a 4 seater VW Beetle is 20.
