Unless we can reach an agreement with the French, then leaving the EU could even lead to an increase in ‘human trafficking’ This is precisely why we need to broker a deal before we finally leave the EU at the end of this year.

Re: It's not just about Brexit
I wouldn't be that surprised to see us agree a deal which rolls over a lot of the current stuff but with a different name and puts it in a still to be finalised pot.tiger76 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 6:09 pmBrexit: UK hopeful of EU trade deal next month, says No 10https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-53812015
There's still grounds to be optimistic about some form of trade deal being agreed, but the UK will have to show flexibility in certain demands to get a deal, given this government's record of digging it's heels in I wouldn't hold out much hope of a compromise being reached anytime soon.

That should be on the cancel culture thread. The right don’t do it you know!

Surely you aren't saying that Britain will still be an attractive destination after we've left the EU?

Once here, illegal immigrants can claim asylum despite passing through numerous safe countries?aggi wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 6:55 pmIf you're not able to look at the track record of the party that you're voting for and take a good guess at what they'll be doing going forward then it's not my fault. Why would I have shares in Serco (I don't), you're the one voting for the party that gives them all the money, not me. Do you have shares in Serco?
Here's your evidence, https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/h ... 48746.html
While many of the claims Mr Farage makes in his video are a difficult blend of muddled figures and statistics used to defend his points of view, his assertion that the hotel is populated by illegal immigrants appears to be among the easiest to debunk.
The Britannia-owned Bromsgrove Hotel and Spa is, like a number of hotels across the country, being used to temporarily house asylum seekers – according to the government and the site’s operators, Serco.
Unlike irregular migrants who may be in breach of the law, asylum seekers are those attempting to legitimately and legally make a claim to sanctuary in the UK – for example to escape persecution.
Now it's your turn to provide evidence (although I assume you won't break the habit of a lifetime).
Still no condemnation of people trafficking.
Still no answer to the simple question.
Do you have a front and / or back door?
If so, why?

Re: It's not just about Brexit
I'll pop back some time over the next few days and see if anyone on the Wokeward Squad have come anywhere near condemning the fact that illegal immigration has seen numbers reach this record level.
A level so high that Kent County council has said it can no longer take any more children into its care due to unprecedented numbers of existing cases and new arrivals coming illegally.
I'll not hold my breath.

Re: It's not just about Brexit
Questions you can’t answer so avoid, typical Wrongo. Anyhoo, hope you’re happy with your evidence that leaving the EU wouldn’t help reduce human trafficking. I’m sure you’ll be happy to admit you were wrong, it’s one of your best qualities.
Here you go, I’ll condemn the human traffickers that take desperate people’s money and put them in danger (not that it needs saying, it like asking if people condemn murderers) but won’t be condemning those that help the asylum seekers once they are here.

Re: It's not just about Brexit
You're so confused about this that it isn't really clear what you want people to condemn? Is it illegal immigration, is it lawful asylum seekers (remember like the ones in the hotels that you were convinced were illegal immigrants that you haven't come up with any evidence to prove is the case), is it using private companies to run these things, is it the fact that they are staying somewhere when you'd prefer them on the streets?RingoMcCartney wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 11:59 pmOnce here, illegal immigrants can claim asylum despite passing through numerous safe countries?
Still no condemnation of people trafficking.

Just because Farage said something you shouldn't just swallow it hook, line and sinker. Maybe apply some critical thinking and post something cohesive.
Actions speak louder than words. If you don't want Serco earning loads of money from running immigration centres then don't vote for the party that is doing it. Most people don't find it necessary to condemn people trafficking like they don't find it necessary to condemn murdering people, they take it for granted that people are against it.
In fact, I don't think I've seen you condemn murdering people. Sounds like, by Ringo logic, you support murderers. What else have you not condemned today that, by extension, you support? You'd better get condemning!

Wrongo is back for another beer-fuelled rant about immigrants and is tying himself in knots trying to pretend it’s only about how awful people trafficking is, but letting slip that he doesn’t mind it if they end up in another country. Brilliant entertainment.

By the government following the example of the Australian government.
Their policy - " if you enter Australia unlawfully, you will never ever be granted Australian citizenship and returned to your country of origin"
Stopped illegal immigration, almost, overnight.

The nearest country to Australia is Papua New Guinea - which is 1473 miles away. Even New Zealand is 2500 miles away (I didn't realise that!).

I assume you have no problem with letting in asylum seekers if they come through our ports or airports then? All it would need is the oppressive regimes or war torn countries they’re fleeing from to sort out proper travel documentation and lay on scheduled flights, not a problem. You also continue to swerve the issue of you not seeming to care if asylum seekers illegally enter other European countries.

And what’s your obsession with ex-servicemen? Homelessness is a big issue and would support funding to help all our homeless whatever their former profession.
And using the old ‘there’s this one bloke who’s really taking the ****...’ argument has never been a good basis on which to make wholesale change to anything.
