Absolute chaos!

MaizieD what a shockingly racist taunt your last two paras are.

Why?

It has nothing to do with race. Some people seem totally unable to emphasise if they haven't experienced something themselves. We see it pretty often on this forum...

And 'British' encompasses a huge range of of 'races'.

I see nothing even remotely racist in any of MaizieD's posts.

Well, why waste my time on Maizie when AuntElinorsCat is around.

AEC How do you know her whole family are hypocrites? And why Uganda? If you go back far enough there are several other coutries you could send her to. It is the same with Boris Johnson? His origins reach back to 3 or 4, or possibly more countries. What about those with impeccable British pedigrees going back to pre-history?

Patel’s father … UKIP. I’m not saying her entire family but the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

I’m talking about today. A woman whose own family were immigrants allowing the callous treatment of refugees coming from a war zone. Disgraceful.

I don’t care that Patel’s parents were immigrants. I care that she’s an incompetent, not very bright individual, promoted beyond her abilities by an incompetent PM. Add to that her lack if compassion and rude, bullying approach. Oh yes and she’s dishonest.

I really do find it offensive when posters suggest people born here are ‘sent back’.

I think she is useless at her job I think lots of the comments about her parents are mired in racism to be honest.

What a shambles it is¬ taking less time to travel across Europe than to get across the channel ? Other countries managed to get organised fairly quickly. Instead our Government makes people jump through hoops - giving an address to go to and finding only a telephone number on a gate, then later told to travel 60 miles to Lille. Some have to go to Brussels for assistance. The Government should have been pro-active with more help at Calais from the start.

The Guardian thought they'd fled, MaizieD

I do hope that those who voted for Brexit feel a small amount of remorse for what is happening. Obviously not about the war but for the way i which are govt are dealing with the Ukranian refugees who want to come to the UK.

This is nothing to do with Brexit. Ukranians have always had a free pass, no visa, to enter the EU for a number of months, now because of war, for 3years. They are also being registered on entering the EU. We have never been in Schengen, which allowed the above.
I totally agree that we should be doing this more efficiently and quickly, these poor people need to be with relatives who can care for them. Why are you saying this is to do with Brexit, and no I don’t feel at all guilty. Putin is the guilty one here, not people who voted for Brexit.

I've just watched Question Time and they discussed this.

The Ukrainian Ambassador joined by satellite link and reminded the panel that only women and children have been allowed to leave.

It's too bad and I feel so terribly sorry.

I am ashamed that the British people voted this evil government in and also voted for Brexit which is causing problems getting donated goods to the Ukraine.
We need to take responsibility even if you personally did not vote for the above!

Yes because we have not got enough houses to place them in.

If any positive is coming out of this government's failings here, it is that it makes us want to help those poor Ukranians even more.

That's all completely uncalled for Freya5. What terrible things to say.

Freya you clearly have not read my posts. Nowhere did I blame you or anyone else except the government for this. I thought my question was phrased quite reasonably as a matter of fact.
Where do you see any evidence of hatred for my fellow countrymen/women ?? Your comments are
Report worthy but I don’t do that. Instead i will ask other posters what they think of your remarks to me

Just read on local news, a Ukrainian women and her daughter reunited with her mum, having travelled through Moldova, and flew into Luton, papers sorted visa given. Also at our local port, a local-haulage firm have been successfully transporting donations to a neutral area between Poland and the Ukraine, their Ukraine colleagues then take over. Maybe not a big deal for many on here, but it is doing something positive. Am proud of our Conservative town. An appeal also gone out for lorry drivers to be aware of stranded Ukraine drivers who will be given support.

I take it you’re happily living in a country that does share your views Maisie, can you tell me where please.

I’m sure you will. Report if you like. Not much different to another poster wanting Patel to go back to where she came from. Hatred rather a bit strong, but disdain is obvious for anyone who voted Conservative wouldn’t you say.

No. Read my posts. Where any criticism of my fellow countrymen???????

Allsorts

What are you talking about? You're showing yourself up.
