Haven’t watched it yet but I would think there’s only 2 real possibilities. Suicide or a catastrophic failure of the ventilation system filling the plane with carbon monoxide.

I see a bunch of right wing snowflakes are trying to get Gary Lineker cancelled. Fair play to Gary he’s standing his ground and standing up for free speech.

Yeah they’re clearly promoting immigration when trying to look tough on it too. Take the Hong Kong scheme. It’s been extended for a year. 4.5M allowed to apply for it, come here and basically get guaranteed citizenship after a period of time, only 160K has taken it up. It doesn’t sound like...

So he was an economic migrant then.

So what is he then? Are you suggesting he’s there to sponge off the Dutch system?

What does this have to do with the UK government? Why is a Tory MP even bringing it up in parliament. The Isle of Man is a self governing British overseas territory. Nothing to do with the UK government what so ever.

And thanks to their 2019 intakes the rabid element is bigger and more rabid than its ever been.

What really gets me is that it’s the children and grandchildren of immigrants doing this and then using that fact as some sort of justification that it makes it okay. Maybe I’m of a different mindset but the we’re in pull up the ladder attitude doesn’t make it okay, in my mind it makes it worse.

Except I didn’t. Making things up. Very adult of you.

We’re no worse than any other country in that respect. Interesting though that one of the countries who citizens make up one of the largest contingent of visa overstayers in the UK also happens to be one of the country’s we’re desperate to get a trade agreement with so the government can say...

Yes that is wrong. Where’s your evidence that the majority of British people think we’re a pushover? Why do they think we’re a pushover? Is it based on baseless rhetoric from the government? It certainly based on facts like we’re signed up to the same standards as almost a quarter of all...

You do understand that the vast majority of real illegal immigrants arrived in the UK legally on a visa and then overstay? I think even with the rise in people crossing by boat visa overstay still counts for over 90% of illegal immigrants. That’s before you factor in that the majority of people...

You wanted someone to debate your points as an adult so I’ll give it a go. Firstly your 1 or 1 million comment. You’re picking exaggerated numbers out of thin air to fit a view. If you want an adult conversation exaggeration isn’t the starting point. Secondly “We’re a pushover”. Compared to...

And some more context to the 100M remark she made yesterday and the claim that they all want to come here. Spoiler alert, she’s talking shite.

If we don’t change the law the entire population of the world will come here. Is that what you want because that’s what will happen.

Just reading up on the Hong Kong scheme and it asks some questions of Bravermans claims in parliament yesterday. According to government figures 2.9M people and their families in Hong Kong qualify for resettlement in the UK, 4.5M in total. Or about a twentieth of the people she claimed yesterday...

Worth noting that the numbers are skewed at the moment by the Hong Kong scheme (over 160k now since the scheme was launched less than 3 years ago). Once the numbers settle down from Hong Kong or the scheme comes to an end the number of people claiming asylum in the UK will fall.

Second biggest group of people arriving by boats are from Afghanistan who we’re supposed to have a settlement scheme for, about 5000 IIRC arrived by small boats last year at the hands of people smugglers. I think it was suggested in parliament last week that less than a dozen Afghans have been...

Red meat for the gammons and Karen’s. Not sure how they think this is going to win them a GE election though. The only electorate interested in this kind of nonsense has the reform party and they aren’t exactly awash in the polls with the numbers needed by the Tories to turn the tide against Labour.

The UN are also saying it’s a clear breach of the UN refugee convention that we’re signed up to.
