I have always said this, we pensioners are easy to catch as the government knows where we live so we are always the first to be targeted. Asylum seekers bed hop from one house to the next so they never get caught.

I also said we would be better treated in prison than we are now. Free food, free TV and Free bed and board.

Pensioners are easy targets for the government,

Err, it was a joke, BigMamma.

Yes it is KittyLester, but I understand the sentiment of BigMamma post. Perhaps she might start her own thread?

Having spent 7 years at boarding school, I can assure Big Mamma that prison would not be better, poor food, badly cooked. very limited access to tv channels, uncomfortable beds, no privacy infrequent showers, unable to make the smallest decision for yourself.

You also do not know the difference between asylum seekers and illegal immigrants, they are NOT the same thing. Asylum seekers are people like those fleeing Hong Kong after the recent democracy demonstrations, people who are in danger of being arrested, tortured and killed in their own country because of their political views.

You are free to hold youraabhorrent views, but get your facts right first.

That'll teach me to make sure I have my glasses on, and read all the post before I quoteblush

Spooky. My friend literally just texted this to me 🤣🤣

Callistemon213 Sat 06-Jul-24 21:32:00

Where are we going?
What shall I pack?
Is my passport up-to-date?

*Well said MOnica.
I enjoyed the joke Kittylester and forwarded it to a friend. smile

All we have to do is swim across the channel to Dover and claim asylum!

Certainly pensioners are a drain on resources.....they occupy beds in hospitals, the care system takes a lot of funding, they expect extra allowances for heating costs. Just think how much money would be saved if we got rid of them all.

I know it's a joke, but we are an easy target when it comes to cutting costs.

JamesandJon33 Sun 07-Jul-24 06:21:29

Yes but where might we be going. If it’s by bus not far , I expect. Isle of Wight, Anglesey ?

nanna8 Sun 07-Jul-24 06:40:01

Scotland of course. They want more people.

NanKate Sun 07-Jul-24 06:52:33

All sorted, bags packed. Will I need my sunglasses ?😎

Nonnadiana Sun 07-Jul-24 07:03:32

More woolly jumpers than sunglasses

Nicenanny3 Sun 07-Jul-24 07:15:47

Many a true word spoken in jest 🤣

You won't be able to use your English bus passes on Anglesey 😯

Love it kittylester. Thanks for a good laugh this morning.

If the Tories had got back in and Reform had more than 13 seats (as was predicted by exit poll) I was planning to get a dingy and set out from Dover over the channel to seek asylum.

However, now the French are turning Fascist too I might try my luck crossing the Irish Sea instead!

Callistemon213 Sun 07-Jul-24 08:43:32

Wherever the weather s better, please 🙂

AGAA4 Sun 07-Jul-24 08:43:42

I hope our new government don't read this and think it's a great idea 🤣
Made me laugh on this dreary Sunday morning.
