Ascension Island was her first choice to transport those people fleeing war and famine. 4000 miles away.

Obviously not far enough for Patel, as that has been abandoned.

Oh well that’s a first a poster sparklingsilver28 has reported me for being racist? Obviously they haven’t read or understood what they have posted!!

Whitewavemark2 - This post is racist

An attempt to close down a valid contribution because it does not agree with your understanding is childish and juvenile.

In my opinion, anyone who enters a county illegally should never be allowed to stay as it is just rewarding illegal behaviour and encouraging more to do the same thing. An alternative is for anyone who condones this behaviour to agree to rehouse these people at their own expense for a considerable few years.

I have reported the post that I consider racist.

But, on the other hand, if we actually look at the facts, we see that immigrants to this country have contributed far, far more than they have cost.

The UK has benefitted greatly from the contribution of immigrants - to our communities, our culture and to our national wealth.

Well, I for one, wish we could send these illegals somewhere!! They are forcing their way into the country and will be a burden for evermore. Why on earth doesn't Mrs. Patel have patrol boats stopping this influx. They have already become criminals by entering illegally so owe them nothing. We are too soft by half.

No you are wrong, they are not illegal.

Have I just stumbled into a UKIP forum? Or maybe I'm sleeping and having a nightmare....

I cannot believe the attitude of some on here who would deny compassion to fellow human beings who have seen and suffered seen terrible things during their short lives, which thankfully we will hopefully, never have to. They can make a valuable and positive contribution to our society if they are given a chance.

It is only by accident of birth that we can live in relative safety.

Whitewavemark2 I know we disagree on many political issues but I abhor racism in any form.

Patel has just been on the Channel 4 news blaming, among others, the "leftie lawyers" Those were her actual words.

She is incredibly stupid.

We have a dear friend who has had several young male refugees from Syria and Afghanistan living with them. They have been helped through their A levels and are now at Universities.

Their stories were horrendous and not mine to tell. (They were verified stories)

Those young men will never forget the kindness and love shown to them.

Like many, without any thing constructive to combat a point of view, and a narrow understanding and interpretation of what the discussion is actually about, hold hands and use racism in an attempt to counter an unsustainable stance.

No, - for my part I have no wish to give you a platform to air your illegal views.

I feel I'm in good company.

Blimey that’s a first I don’t think Whitewavemark2 Alegrias and I have ever been grouped together.

GrannyGravy13 Sun 04-Oct-20 19:29:54

Sparklingsilver28 if you were to put forward a valid point of view that wasn’t steeped in racism and ignorance perhaps other posters would be happy to engage with you.
