I dunno, I've never had to flee a warzone and be on the receiving end of misinformation from human traffickers before.

2m total. 100k a year. As you said earlier, it’s an inevitability that they will come so we may as well try and get some sort of control over the process. It’s out of control at the moment. A lot of those questions like who will be the fortunate ones are an issue now but we can surely come up with a better criteria than the fortunate ones were in one of the boats that didn’t sink. If we are allowing a decent number it would likely push the French to control the channel routes more closely as at least they would feel that we are taking in “our fair share”. Let’s be honest, a lot of this is jealousy at the moment that we have water protecting us while they have hundreds of thousands coming in with no protections. They simply don’t want them in France either.Dunners wrote: ↑Thu Nov 25, 2021 12:12 pmDo you mean 2million in each year, or 100,000 in each year over that 20 year period?
And, either way, what's the admission criteria?
Where's the line in the sand as to who is fortunate and who is not?
How will those who meet the fortunate criteria be prioritised?
What happens to those who try and cheat the system and get caught out?
Who decides on all of the above?
How do we police such a processing facility in France?
It will no doubt require a significant military presence on French soil to keep out the desperate masses who will try their luck regardless of the consequences. How do we and the French square that sovereignty issue?
I accept that, but if I had got my family out of a hell hole and ended up in a country which was a better place to live I don’t think I would put them at risk just to get to UK.Mistadobalina wrote: ↑Thu Nov 25, 2021 12:29 pm I dunno, I've never had to flee a warzone and be on the receiving end of misinformation from human traffickers before.
I've now heard the question of risk/safety put to many of these people on news reports. And they all answer that they know the risk but that they're willing to take it. Given that I've heard that response quite a few times now, I tend to believe them.Story of O wrote: ↑Thu Nov 25, 2021 12:47 pmI accept that, but if I had got my family out of a hell hole and ended up in a country which was a better place to live I don’t think I would put them at risk just to get to UK.Mistadobalina wrote: ↑Thu Nov 25, 2021 12:29 pm I dunno, I've never had to flee a warzone and be on the receiving end of misinformation from human traffickers before.

But that’s the point. They wouldn’t rock up if they knew categorically that the UK would just turn them straight back around again if they did not come through the correct routes. We need to take enough over so many years to placate the leftie lawyers and assorted twitterati and have limits/limits in time to placate the right wing masses. Both sides will have to compromise. Seeing how this country has helped the Hong Kong people with barely a murmur, it’s more likely the right can compromise and allow large numbers in than the liberals agreeing to numbers caps but both will have to bend.I haven’t worked out where the processing centres will be yet.Currywurst and Chips wrote: ↑Thu Nov 25, 2021 1:16 pmSo when we've hit the limit for the year and 500 rock up a day later having destroyed their passports deliberately where do we send them?Beradogs wrote: ↑Thu Nov 25, 2021 12:37 pm2m total. 100k a year.

I’m not just going to pull a figure out of my arms but yes, there is obviously a limit to how many people we can accommodate. And no, it’s not 20 million, that’s obviously bollocks.

We are in 2021 Britain. There are not many black Leyton Orient supporters, I reckon less than 30 years ago. I am a face in the crowd and still feel unwelcome.

Is there any wonder? I was bought up in Leyton, went School at Ruckholt, since demolished. I have been going for years but never really felt welcome apart from when with my white school mates. I used to go with other black mates whose mums all nurses at Whipps. Made me very aware of the situation. Things I’ve heard chanted or in casual conversation makes my skin crawl still. I know most over the club are not racist but some need to listen to themselves . That post really said it all for me . Unnecessary but highlighted how it is . That Ron Hotdogs nonsense.Max B Gold wrote: ↑Thu Nov 25, 2021 10:08 pmIs that what those threads were about?

As an Os fan of 34 years I'm not sure you are right about there being fewer black Os fans these days than 30 years ago. From what I've seen there never have been that many which is sad really.
