The whole assylum seekers issue is interesting as I understood that they have to claim assylum in the first safe country that they arrive in and surely France is equally as safe as the UK ?

They'll be far safer over here amongst a few middle class students daubing a couple of statues with gloss paint.

Oh to be back in that field at Orgeave again.

These are asylum seekers being moved from France to the UK - I sure the French wouldn't send them in rubber dingys - these are probably asylum seekers that couldn't convince the French of their status. So are they asylum seekers or migrants?

Why do you revert to arguing minutia when defending the indefensible?

Ahh, the good old days, when it was us against them. No grey areas, everything was in black and white (especially the telly )

It's always been about us and them.
Just that some attempted to do something about it while others had their eyes scrunched tightly shut, whilst hiding behind their sofas, wishing it would all go away.

Je ne regrette rien.

Apparently the Home Secretary is giving serious consideration to calling the Royal navy in.
The Border Force staff caught a sea bass and a couple of cod last night so I fully understand his anxiety.

Putting political bias aside, & apologies for posting this in the Brexit thread, but I think you can all join me in congratulating John Redwood on his well-deserved knighthood.

Indeed - and also unrelated to Brexit, congratulations to former minister and vocal critic of the deal the HoC will soon vote on, John Hayes, also knighted by the PM. Bravo to both Sir John's!
