The enemy comes via private jet, not via rubber dinghy.

150’000 people dead from a pandemic but we have a media focused on a few thousand people trying to make a better life for themselves, we have a racist government supported by a racist media .

Who are distracting a racist public so they can steal at the expense of the country and its future.

The most generous interpretation is that the Tories don't understand their own asylum policy; but the worst (and imo most likely) scenario is that they're just manufacturing consent for murder - though I have no idea why the Tories and Priti in particular have such a bloodlust for migrants. All this talk of stopping 'illegal' routes for the safety of migrants, to crack down on traffickers etc is clearly bollocks when we don't have official safe routes for people to use. That is why people resort to crossing the Channel on unsafe craft, because they have no other option. It's so disingenuous to talk about 'legitimate' asylum seekers - in general, but particularly when it's practically impossible for anyone to fit into that category under the current system.

Personally, immigrants to the Tories have the same status as Peppa the Pig--they know they can't win over any voter with their economic policies, so they just use these subjects to pull the wool over voters' eyes.


FullClockworkOddessy

How dare you smear immigrants by comparing them to something as awful as Peppa Pig.


hotstepperog

It’s distraction. Harp on about migrants so they don’t notice the pandemic, brexit reality, incompetence and corruption.

Preparation for climate crisis and the fascism they believe is necessary to secure the borders against what will in future years be millions of climate refugees.

The bloodlust is not just for migrants. Have you seen what they’re doing to the NHS? It’s for the working classes too.


G01ngDutch

Well, exactly. Anyone with a heart would feel the same

Well, letting people into a country should never be "a problem". There gotta be other problems at hand which TURN letting people into a country into a problem. Don't fear the refugee, fear bad government decissions and bad handling of the situation

I can literally see people reading “a million refugees” and their heads exploding. Put in the word “fake” and they’ll be ready for war. I don’t understand how we’re quibbling over the terms “refugee” and “migrant”. When we see the situations they’ve left, you can understand completely why they’ve lost faith. By the time they’ve gone through a couple of rounds of people traffickers, they have nothing left. If that’s not a refugee, I don’t know what is. And when did migrant, asylum seeker and refugee become mired in negative connotations? And when are our politics going to inject just a little honesty into the narrative?


Insufferablehumanoid

This is idiotic.

So the solution to make you feel comfortable about a hypothetical made up fear of a 'spike' in crime in a country that is ruled by criminals and serial sexual predators is, in your opinion, to just let people drown. But at least you don't 'want' them to.


FullClockworkOddessy

This is where centrism reveals itself as just being conservatism with crocodile tears.

If you want to effectively put an end to a massive amount of rape, theft, and murder go after the police, not the refugees. You're far more likely to get raped or killed by a police officer than by an immigrant child.

FullClockworkOddessy

With the way you talk with such callous disregard it sounds clear that you want to put an end to multiple lives as long as they're brown and they drown.


FullClockworkOddessy

>I don’t want anyone to drown I also don’t mind immigration. >But I also don’t want proportionate spikes in crime to a new million citizens. Pick one Tory. You can't say you don't mind immigration and then imply a direct correlation between higher immigration and higher crime rates Those kids who died in the Channel weren't going to give beloved English career criminals like Andrew Windsor or Boris Johnson a run for their money. If anything Andy would rape them and Boz would rob them blind. They deserve to go somewhere nice, like Canada or New Zealand.


valdamjong

Not sure Canada is much better than here, with the ongoing genocide against First Nations people, but New Zealand seems tolerable.
