With all this misinformation and the narrowness of the victory, you have to question the logic of turning an advisory vote into law. I guess the press whipping up a frenzy around the whole thing didn't help.

You can't wait? That's a bit odd isn't it? The way I see it, you don't really have a great choice in government. Neither of the main parties have any respect for the electorate because they electorate will vote of them despite their poor policies and horrendous leadership. Until the...

You must be so pissed off with the last 13 years of Tory governance. They really have f***ed it, haven't they? Hopefully, you won't be sitting on your hands at the next election and take the opportunity to vote them out.

I can watch hours of it but you still haven't told me how I identify the asylum seekers and refugee rather than the brown people either born in the country or got their through other immigration means. You can't blame the boat people/refugees /asylum seekers if you can't identify them.

Yeah I did delete my post, we are just going round in circles and there isn't much point. As far as the aboriginal stuff goes I did some study years ago with a lecturer who spoke a great deal of sense. On of the things she said was that a lot of money has been wasted by politicians not...

Yet, when asked, you haven't managed to produce any evidence of the misbehaving asylum seekers/refugees that we are discussing?

Some might say this rather simplified comment ignores a great deal of historical context but I think you are quite right, the bloody aborigines have been a drain on the public purse since we stole their country. The bastards! It would be better to go back to categorising them as flora and fauna...

No I'm not being obtuse at all. You have made claims that asylum seekers and refugees have been causing trouble and intimidating people in various places in Europe and I am asking how you know that they are asylum seekers and refugees and not either other kinds of migrants or people born in that...

I find it is very difficult to tell if those people are asylum seekers, refugees, other kinds of migrants or people born in the country. How on earth can you tell the difference and pick out the asylum seekers/refugees that we are discussing here?

I am never convinced by this argument of asylum seekers and refugees banding together to take over towns. Point to a town where brown and black people are bleeding dry the local services and I will point to the fact that those services have been consistently underfunded. Other than that you...

It's a proven vote winner for the Tories so I am going to deliberate. Very expensive and deliberate. It works though, add in the rhetoric from the right wing media and you end up with views like 'war fleeing pricks' and people believing that the Tories are the only ones that can fix the mess.

I don't. I did, and when I did there was scheme to bring refugees to the area to assist with the labour shortage in farming communities. We were involved in this and it worked quite well. As a teacher I assisted many of them in learning English. But what has my location got to do with any of...

The answer is surely to open the routes and process people quickly and efficiently. Preserving people's dignity and inviting them to work and make a life for themselves contributing to the economy and society. The Tories and the parts of society that but in to their narrative are a long way...

£3b a year according to this. I wonder what the opposition are offering as an alternative to the shit show that have used the situation as an expensive political tool for the last 13 years. Still as I said it may well work again and the hard of thinking may vote them in again...

Well yes this was pretty much the point I was making . You went from 'war fleeing pricks' to banging on about concrete falling down in schools. Reading your posts is often very similar to trying to follow a conversation at 7am after a night out at Stern's in the early 90s. I have this...

. . . And people are still buying the immigrants narrative. Pass me the Kool aid. Thr depressing thing is that there is a chance this project fear stuff will work.

Firstly you have totally failed to address the point I made in my post. Hardly surprising because you can't defend the indefensible. Secondly it is no wonder you end up with the idea of immigrants being 'war fleeing pricks' if you are attributing all the ills of a country to them. I would...

Almost as bad as those persecution fleeing pricks! Grrr, don't you just hate em? Surely you must wonder just a little how it has come to be that you have so much dislike for people you know nothing about. No idea of their story or what lead them to leave their home land. But my god you feel...

Vote Tory to stop the boats! They've been promising to do it for 13 years but this time they really mean it.

If you still vote in the UK you can help change the situation by voting for a party that will increase the speed of processing and open up some safer methods of claiming asylum in the UK. Your preferred method of doing this suggests voting for a party that will significantly increase the...
