I don’t use this word often but what counts !!!
I don’t use this word often but what counts !!!What the hell is wrong with people?
celebrating this is awful, but please, please, someone tell me why do these people not stay in France, or the first country that they arrive in ? What's so awful about France, Germany etc ?I don’t use this word often but what counts !!!

I liken it to offering someone sleeping rough on the streets of Coventry a one bed flat and they say no, I want a 3 bed detached in Stivichale (I can't spell it ).

Because they're told it's great over here by smugglers. Can't make any money out of people if you tell them "Do you know what? It's better here actually"
When they’re being so brazen about it publicly you don’t exactly have to go looking for it.If you go looking for bad you'll find it everywhere, Tony.

Not just the smugglers. Farage and the Brexit crew have been telling everyone for decades that they need to get out the EU.Because they're told it's great over here by smugglers. Can't make any money out of people if you tell them "Do you know what? It's better here actually"

Of course there is, never said anything different. The implication of the OP is I went looking for it. I didn’t. That was the only point I was making.I didn't have to look far to see people gloating about the death of trumps brother... Moral of the story is... There are bellends everywhere from every side of every argument

This is how I see it ....If they speak the language why shouldn’t they? I’d rather emigrate to America or Canada for the same reasons.
Are you honestly telling me if the geography were reversed you’d be on here begging them to stay in the U.K. and not cross to France?
This is how I see it ....
" Hello . You shouldn't sleep out on the streets it's dangerous and it's very bad for your health. I'm from an organisation......blah blah. We can give you a roof over your head , hot food etc. "
" I don't want that, I want a 4 bed detached with a swimming pool"
" Really ? You can fuck off then ".

Had a quick look and from what I can make out in the UK asylum seekers get £37.75 a week, accommodation and access to the NHS. The accommodation seems to generally be of a pretty low standard.Do you think Britain has a more generous welfare system than France? If not I’m not sure how this analogy works.
If you are fleeing a war torn country why isn't France good enough ?Do you think Britain has a more generous welfare system than France? If not I’m not sure how this analogy works.
That's the way it is.Nothing quite like inventing a scenario just so you can be angry about that scenario.
If you are fleeing a war torn country why isn't France good enough ?
If you were homeless would you say no to being offered accomodation in the hope of something better.....bearing in mind you are absolutely destitute ?
Its not rocket science.
Everybody, get out of the EU as soon as possible, it’s broken.“Britain! Greatest country in the world!”
“Can’t see why people want to come here, France is much better”
You make it sound like all asylum seekers are heading to the UK when the reality is its a very small percentage.If you are fleeing a war torn country why isn't France good enough ?
That's a fair point Dave but I still can't understand the need for travelling across most of Europe.You make it sound like all asylum seekers are heading to the UK when the reality is its a very small percentage.

If my house is on fire and my neighbour offers me a room I don't say no thanks I want a mansion with double garage and half an acre....if you catch my drift.
I'm not at all sure what that means really. If you're fleeing a war torn country, should you really be getting your European tourist book out to find the best places to stay , or where the fastest broadband is ?“Britain! Greatest country in the world!”
“Can’t see why people want to come here, France is much better”

Definitely worth sponging off by travelling on lethally disntegrating rafts and the like.UK asylum seekers get £37.75 a week, accommodation and access to the NHS.
I imagine "they" would hope he'd say he was just grateful to be somewhere safe and that he didn't mind which country he found himself in .I've often wondered how they'd react if they interviewed a refugee in France and asked hem if they intended to come to England and they replied "no. France is better". I imagine a load of them would be apoplectic this person didn't think Britain was better than France.
Imagine how different things would be if we never invaded Iraq, afghanistan and the US kept their beaks out of the middle East...
We probably wouldn't be having this chat
following on from the thread you started on Christopher Hitchens I'm listening to his debate on the Iraq with Mark Danner from 2003.
I'd love to hear his thoughts on the world today.
Absolutely, however the Iraq war I actually disagree with hitchens on
same, in the debate I'm listening to, just prior to the 2nd Iraq war, he predicted it would be a short military intervention heralding a new dawn for Iraq, he got that badly wrong. No ones perfect!
Going to stick the headphones on at work and revisit one of his interviews putting the boot in to Bill Clinton.
