Andy Burnham says wealthy areas must house more migrants after leafy village revolts over 1,250 asylum seekers

I have a much simpler and cheaper solution, let’s just shoot them all dead as they step off those boats.

Then we will simply gas all those already here.

There you are, problem solved simply and cheaply.

But Maizie in next to no time it would become clear that all it would be is a money pit. And depending which party was in power a Covid type cash cow

I accept anti immigrants do not seem to be bothered about extortionately expensive costs MaizieD - but I wonder what they think about all the other hurdles on this tiny island and what numbers would they would hope to send.....

Cossy 19.27. Crikey - that would be cheaper but I have also tried to believe the majority of UK citizens are humane and would not allow that 🤞🤞

Yes as has been said, if you want to know what msn is capable of look at what man has done

Of course, I didn’t mean it, even for one second, but I do believe that once upon a time it was mention by a certain person from a certain party, the shooting bit anyhow.

“The Incident: A Reform UK campaign activist named Andrew Parker was recorded by an undercover reporter in Clacton-on-Sea.The Comments: Parker suggested that army recruits should be placed on beaches with guns to use arriving migrants as "target practice," stating they should "just shoot them."”

I will state that Farage immediately cut all ties and connections, at least publicly, with this obnoxious individual.

We are not incapable of behaving like this -it’s dangerous to believe we are.

Good grief- I had not heard of Andrew Parker, a Reform activist saying this.

I don’t know why, but I recall very vividly when this vile excuse for a human actually said this.

Cossy, do not agree with much you say, but your post about shooting and gassing people is low, very offensive. I suggest you think before you post. Most of the country are very worried about illegal immigration, that is fact, you are not obviously and are entitled to your view, I take it you have personal experience of living next to one of these centres that house these young men, it's a problem that needs sorting.

"These young men"

They are not all the same please don't lets lump them together - there are genuine asylum seekers amongst them, and why assume all are not ordinary benign human beings.

Yes Allsorts, what Andrew Parker, an actual Reform person who, 'says it as it is' was offensive.
Cossy, I do believe, was being Devil's Advocate.

It really doesn't make sense to say we'll send these people back to France, because France is sitting there saying, then we'll just send these same people back to Italy or Spain from whence most of then came to us. And so on.

Indeed.

Yes. I may well be missing a step here, but why does it matter that people turning up on our shores left from France?

Are people saying that France, as a European mainland country, should keep all asylum seekers, even ones who pass through on their way to their intended destination in the UK? I don’t understand.

Does that mean that we, as an island nation, should be able to reject all comers whilst continental countries have to take everyone who wanders through?

If someone can explain that thinking I would be genuinely grateful, as I just don’t follow the logic at all.

Gosh no need to go that far 😩

"These young men"

They are not all the same please don't lets lump them together - there are genuine asylum seekers amongst them, and why assume all are not ordinary benign human beings.

When has 'these young men" become a derogatory term??

Smiling here, at a bit of a bonkers situation.

There's a bit of a weird Shadenfruede going on here, isn't there?

Those in towns and cities, changed beyond recognition by having thousands of young men foisted upon them have wondered why more desirable enclaves have been untouched by this social engineering.

" Your turn now" is causing uproar.

The well documented problems caused by our open borders and hundreds of men entering the country without papers should concern us all.

It seems a blind eye can be turned until those feeling safe and away from the consequences of our incredibly foolish immigration policy are affected by hundreds of young men being accommodated in their doorstep.

Not in my back yard applies then.

Perhaps the government will help them adjust by setting up training courses for them in Luton, Bradford or Manchester.

A disgusting comment which should not be said in any context. It's hardly something to joke about and people have been hauled off to prison for saying less.

I'm surprised GN hasn't removed it.

Far be it from me to speak on behalf of Cossy but I'd hazard a guess it was sarcasm.

Yes I agree MollyNew and Cossy explained herself yesterday at 19.38:

'Of course, I didn’t mean it, even for one second, but I do believe that once upon a time it was mention by a certain person from a certain party, the shooting bit anyhow.

“The Incident: A Reform UK campaign activist named Andrew Parker was recorded by an undercover reporter in Clacton-on-Sea.The Comments: Parker suggested that army recruits should be placed on beaches with guns to use arriving migrants as "target practice," stating they should "just shoot them."”

Doodledog 09.59 - some posters do appear to say that -as does Reform UK as part of its Operation Fortress proposals.

I don't understand the thinking process either. I have not seen any rational explanation why France should be obliged/forced by Reform UK/Operation Fortress to accept UK destined asylum and process them in France. Is Reform UK seeking to make the UK an authoritarian country and Frage a dictator?!

Lets imagine Operation Fortress in reverse- ie an asylum seeker is in the Channel en route to make an asylum application in France - if French boats decided to bring them to the UK instead would a ReformUK government happily accept these asylum seekers and process their application instead of France as France has the same policy in place? No of course not!

If a further Reform UK government refuses to process asylum seekers claiming asylum in the UK why on earth does Reform UK believe France should agree to take them - it is not logical and there is no legal basis to expect this.

Other countries develop bi-lateral agreements. This is not Reform UK's approach, instead Reform seeks to force countries to bend to its will it appears. That is a dictatorship.

Anyone who has read any of Cossy’s posts over the years will realise that she was being sarcastic, unless they are wilfully misunderstanding her.

Just as anyone who has bothered to read the thread instead of butting in after numerous pages will know that the concept of ‘nice leafy’ areas has already been discussed. I made the point ages ago that ‘incomers’, whatever their skin colour or spending power have radically altered the town I live in, for instance.

I said in any context and that includes sarcasm. I can't believe people would say such things on here.
