The Politics Thread

That Tallest Dwarf competition is still going on then? Feels like it's been going on for years, will it ever end?

As I hope by now is clear, I hope Jezza doesn't win, but this even by Daily Mail standards is embarrassing

Sounds about right for that wing of the labour party, a shame the centre mob could only come up with plastic Tories.

I never had Hobes down as a supporter of setting up a smoother journey for the immigrants.

Awww Bless.

One assumes he supports Germany's ten-point plan: http://www.politics.co.uk/blogs/2015/08 ... britain-ha" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Over-thinking it. Given all the flights and coaches that all left Bulgaria to here and other points West of Bulgaria, it must nearly be officially empty by now. Just let this influx have Bulgaria.

(from where, they can pick their own European destination and travel freely)

Keep acting thick, it suits you!

The latest rise in net migration has been mainly driven by a continuing rise in those coming to work in Britain who account for 65,000 of the increase with nearly two-thirds already having a job to come to. It includes a near doubling in the number of Romanians and Bulgarians coming to Britain from 28,000 to 53,000 in the last 12 months.

Author Ian c*nt should state how many he is personally housing and feeding before scrawling his leftie musings.
Agree with a German dictated solution that suits them? Not on your Nelly, German dictatorship and bullying of non agreeing EU countries is the main reason most want to leave, just because your well off (at least till your beloved, unskilled, migrants bleed you dry) don't make you a God.
If a 'well off' person lived in a neighbourhood and acted like the Germans, his windows would be gone.

[Beefheart]

You're right, the only two options are to house refugees in the homes of left-wing journalists or to not let them in at all. Shame on them.

[Prufrock]

The chicanery of calling them "economic migrants" is pathetic. They're fleeing barrel bombs and slavery. That, having reached one EU country where they have no ties and don't speak the language, they try to move to another country instead of obeying some arbitrary EU rules that mean nothing to them doesn't make them "economic migrants". To try to argue they fall in the same category as a university-educated Pole looking to boost his income is ridiculous.

I'm f*cking embarrased by our reaction to this so far.

Hi, my name is Mustbe Afreeloader from Pakistan, my government is barrel bombing me and I'm fleeing slavery, of course because I can speak a smattering of the most widely spoken language in the world, I need to get to the UK.

Hi, I'm from Africa and if I stay in my country I will have to do time in my national army. If I stay here I cannot earn enough money to afford an I-phone or I-pad. Really I am a bit of a shithouse who lets anyone do whatever they want with my country, I cannot be arsed, I'm off to Europe and maybe England where I will get these things and put up in a hotel with £35 a week spends right away,
All my legal aid is free as well.
Yours Typical 18-24 year old!

Hello, I genuinely fled a war in Syria and made it to Kos. I think it is disgusting that we were not given a hotel to stay in and it took 48hrs for our papers to be processed. My family and I did not leave the refugee camp in Turkey to come to the West and be treated like this, we demand to be allowed to cross whatever country we wish to either settle or go to Germany/UK.

Yeah it is fcking embarrassing the way 'genuine war refugees' are allowed to pick and choose with more rights than anyone else!

Yet most of 'em seem to be heading to Germany and Sweden. Whatever their reasons, the least any of us should be doing is treating them as human beings.

26 miles of cold, mainly stormy water makes the UK not the easiest option.

Can I fit it out with spikes first?

But you seem to think they are all coming here regardless.

Well your head was in the sand saying where are they? obviously they just came quietly.

I'm still waiting for your cost estimate for the "EBF" - European Boundary Fence - Project. I am a little curious for the Greek Islands as to whether we fence them off individually or whether we're just going to go sea-bound round the lot of them? I think the land border is estimated at about 7,900 miles according to Frontex. So rough calculation...Fairly sure UK shelled out £3m on a couple of miles worth to help Calais out. So I reckon at £1.5m per mile that comes to around 12Bn...

Seems like awfully good value...a grand project on a European scale...

Just need to ban all travel with ladders now, worldwide.

Sure-fire winner

[Worthy4England]

Sh8T - forgot about spades....we'll need to do something about digging implements too

[Worthy4England]

Bugger....then there's micro-lites and wings made of cardboard.....They'll have to go....

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

Ropes with them hook things on. They'll have to go too. You'll also have to knock down tall structures near the wall so you can't glide over Great Escape/Colditz stylee...

It's somewhat ironic that Hoboh supports methods used by the Russian controlled East German stasi in building a similar wall around Berlin. Perhaps we can look forward to his suggestions of anti personnel mined "Death zones" before the fences.

Meanwhile, exactly who does he think will be paying his pension? It won't be the declining number of British young people, that's for sure.

1) You can't just invent stories and then pretend that's evidence.

2) Even if those stories were true, how on earth do they have more rights than anyone else?

You don't try to get your family across the Mediterranean in a bath-tub for an i-pad.
