1,027 irregular migrants arrive here on rubber boats in the last 24 hours.

I used to like the way you posted bits of this and that, often with a photo. Now, though, I have seen such nastiness on here towards asylum seekers that I don't think it should be encouraged by posts such as this.

I think asylum seekers can become the focus of all the problems in the country which is quite wrong.

Asylum seekers or economic migrants?
Big difference.

I was just astounded by the sheer number coming ashore at Dover in one day.

This is not sustainable.

Okay.
I won’t mention the huge numbers anymore. You all must think it’s acceptable, not worth mentioning - and that we can afford accommodation, 3 meals a day, clothes, a doctor and dentist on tap plus extras for all who wish to arrive.

I’m in the minority on here then, which I shall now accept. Not a peep from me going forward concerning this topic. 🤷‍♀️

🙄

Toxic.

FGT2 has posted a fact.

Some EU countries are closing their borders.

This is a Europe wide problem.

No need to shoot the messenger

There is a difference between facts and toxic messaging. And the difference is quite clear.

Here we go I ll tell you a story one of my grandaughters is in Australia at the moment she said there’s lots of ill feeling there too with people on the streets protesting
I hope you all understand the irony of that They are all immigrants themselves 🤣

No idea where you get toxic messaging from posting facts?

Well said

This is not toxic, this is a real issue that is of great concern to a lot of people.

Thousands of young men arriving without any papers.

We have a potential army landing on our shores, we are feeding, clothing and housing them, they will turn against us.

Thank you to those who want balanced discussion -not propaganda sound bites.
Net migration benefits us.
Currently we live in an area where. Racism prevail.
Very few immigrants.
But go to tge hospitals/ gps/ dentists and we really do need them.
These people will generally go on to be citizens if accepted.
The fear is what made Hitler great.

Only if the truth winds you up,

This is in CHAT, GrannyGravy and FGT has bandied her anti immigration views to death so yes I was rude, sorry to offend you, but I m tired of it all

Oh Frogoet how I agree with your post
Our local hospital is so proud of the fact that the staff there come from 52 different countries and I ll tell you what I ve never had a nasty nurse, cleaner or doctor in that hospital
My dentists so far have come from Greece, South America Hungary and India
Why is everyone so scared, this country was built on immigration.
I have absolutely no problem with sending criminals right back where they came from and they can take some of our home grown variety back with them but this awful awful position of hate we are in now screams of Hitler s white blond haired regime think of that more closely and remember what followed

Well the threads on this subject are getting repetitive and nothing new is said. Migrants will carry on coming until conditions in their home countries improve. And that will require substantial increases in international aid. Is the British taxpayer up for that?

Migration is a global problem not just a UK issue

Thank you FGT.
The amount we are spending on illegal migrants would go a long way to improving conditions in their own countries.
