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

FGT2 has posted a fact.

Some EU countries are closing their borders.

This is a Europe wide problem.

No need to shoot the messenger

Toxic.

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. 🤷‍♀️

To quote Mr Farage:

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

This is not sustainable.

Asylum seekers or economic migrants?
Big difference.

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

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.

And they will keep on coming. Shabana Mahmood has her work cut out.
