"Dingy boats for sure, but nobody talks about the posh boats. What about the ones cruising over here on super yachts, sipping Bolly and Cristal while plotting the overthrow of flag-shagging England? They're the real menace." You’re away with the fairies. And not the good ones. | |||

"110,000 is more than the population of Doncaster. Whats going.on here guys?" Your country and heritage is being pillaged by dark skinned foreigners and all you can do about it is post impotently on a site where most men come in hopes of anal sex, some of them with similarly pale complexioned fellow travellers. Sucks being you. Try putting another flag on a lamppost, you'll feel better. | |||

"40,000 economic migrants have arrived this year on dingy boats alone so far and still rising. Towns with a population of around 40,000 include the whole of Merthyr Tydfil in Wales, Wokingham in Surrey, Jarrow in the North, and Grantham in the Midlands. Now these are big numbers. This does not include those arriving on student visas, tourist visas or family reunion visas. Stop the boats... " No no no, everything is ok now. The Government has told us that we went 28 days with no boats so their “smash the gangs” plan is starting to work. Oh wait… it was down to the really bad weather in the channel and they have started coming again. As you were. | |||

What I don’t like are men who are not kind or compassionate and don’t give a toss about others, even though, the personal impact on them is nil and the wider impact is actually negligible.

"Try being human (humane). Welcome all immigrants. Deport the bigots." A high proportion of these people are Albanians looking to earn quick easy money. Many end up working in drug gangs and other organised crime networks, to pay off the cost of them being transported over here, and become involved in the violence that goes with it. Mass immigration has changed the whole demographics of many towns up and down the country. | |||

"It is a concern. A lot of people turning up without accommodation and jobs ready for them to go to. Unlike legal immigrants. We the taxpayers are expected to fund them whilst they are being 'processed' which takes months if not years. Are they all going to be skilled engineers, doctors, nurses, etc? Will they eventually be valuable contributors to society and the well being of our country? Will they even make any effort to fit-in with our way of life/ I have serious doubts and so do a good many people." Glasgow has become refugee capital of the UK, neighbourhoods are being transformed with the Scottish legal aspect of having to house homeless people which once asylum seekers have been granted refugee status they often do.

Get your facts right 🇮🇪 🇮🇪 At the time of dear old Oscar Wilde, Ireland was under direct British Rule old boy, indeed one should always attempt to get ones facts correct! 🇬🇧🇬🇧 You complete pompous fool. Oscar Wilde was born in Dublin, Ireland. He was Irish. His nationality didn’t change because England invaded Ireland 🇮🇪 Yes, without doubt Oscar Wilde was indeed Irish by birth and heritage. However, during his lifetime, Ireland was part of the United Kingdom, and as such, he was a British subject. This was the case for all residents of Ireland from 1801, when the Acts of Union took effect, until the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, although Ireland had been under British Rule since the time of Henry VIII in 1542! It's a matter of historical fact, rather than a reflection on his personal identity or nationality. The complexities of history can sometimes be multifaceted, and it's possible to acknowledge Wilde's Irish roots while also recognising the political reality of the time. I understand your strong feelings on the matter, but there's certainly no need for crass personal attacks – a discussion of historical facts is perfectly possible without hostility and an unwarranted outburst of ill-manners! 🇮🇪🇬🇧 If you’re going to go around declaring Irish people are British based on the fact of aggressive illegal occupation, then yes you can expect a backlash. So by your logical, anyone born during WW2 in a country occupied by Germany, then they were all Germans until they were liberated … I am most certainly not seeking to provoke or inflame, far from it, in fact, I am merely attempting to provide factual context of which you clearly appear to be unaware. Ireland's history is a highly complex one, and the Acts of Union united Ireland and Britain under a single government. This is a plain historical fact, not a statement of opinion or allegiance! Understanding the past, whether it was good or otherwise even when it's highly uncomfortable and emotive, can help us better grasp the present. Ill mannered outbursts are always futile and serve only to highlight an ugly facet of character. 🇮🇪🇬🇧 " Please do not presume to know more about Irish history than I do. Anything you’ve said does absolutely nothing to disprove that Oscar Wilde was Irish. And I’ve no interest in further clogging up the OPs post …. I’ve corrected you by saying Wilde was Irish & he was Irish despite whatever country was invading or occupying or power grabbing at the time. | |||

Historical context matters – people's national identities and allegiances evolve over time. Let's focus on understanding the complexities of history rather than getting bogged down in semantics. Semantics are important - I didn't ask if you thought Gandhi was a British subject" You're now shifting goalposts! I've made my point about historical context. Gandhi's status as a British subject is a matter of history! | |||

"Well It’s a fact that when I’m on high st at school turn out there’s a really very high proportion of migrant kids in the mix where’s a few years ago only one or two It’s so noticeable as mining areas always had very few black people in their communities So maybe when you’re counting those actually recorded as coming in you aren’t counting the families that then come and join them " Interesting point. I returned to this town in mid Wales, last year, after a 7 year absence. Currently living close to the high school. This used to be an almost exclusively white town. Now I see loads of kids from ethnic minorities walking past. I'm not criticising. Just stating a fact on how things have changed. | |||

Boats will stop, people can go cry about pride parades again and all will be back to normal. Unfortunately, there is no political will to do so.

All Irish, not British. Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington and our only Irish born Prime Minister famously denied his Irish heritage by stating 'a man maybe born in a stable, but that doesn't make him a horse' He was still Irish!! | |||

Your country and heritage is being pillaged by dark skinned foreigners and all you can do about it is post impotently on a site where most men come in hopes of anal sex, some of them with similarly pale complexioned fellow travellers. Sucks being you. Try putting another flag on a lamppost, you'll feel better. Why mention skin colour?. It matters not who they are or where they are from. Are you ashamed of your national flag? " Sadly , at the moment , I am quite ashamed of our flag ,, I fly a St George's flag or the Union flag at times of sporting events , i would normally be flying my flag now with The Ashes taking place in Australia but I am not , I also didn't put the flag up for England's last football international,, not because I wasn't supporting my nation but because of the type of people currently also flying flags ( I was flying our flag when they weren't ) ,, I can only really talk for the people around me but those now flying the flag tend to be the racist homophobic type and I have no wish or desire to be associated with these people ,, very sad really because it is my flag not theirs ,, somehow we need to claim it back | |||

It's not politically favourable because it's a distraction from the real issues. While us mere minions are arguing about dinghies, we are distracted from other policies that consecutive governments have allowed and passed which negatively affect the country and do nothing to help the average person on a day to day basis. | |||

"Our birth rate is dropping our population is aging. There are already skills shortages in multiple sectors, including health, engineering, building trades, social care etc. Let them come, they get jobs and contribute. The ills of this country are not caused by people in boats. It’s caused by millionaires and billionaires trying to stay rich. People in small boats have not been in control of power for decades. The small boats are a distraction. Replace small boats or immigrant with jew and you will see how close the rhetoric is to a party in Germany in the 1930s. That party came first the gays too. The right will do the same here. Just remember that as you cheer them on. " Some of the things you say may well be true. Maybe we are heading for a skills shortage with out dwindling birthrate and ageing population. But are illegal boat people, arriving on our shores, going to solve the problem? Legal immigrants arrive via scheduled flights and ferries. They have pre-arranged jobs and accommodation to go to. Often a great asset to some institutions like the NHS. Can the 'boat people' be trained to be doctors, nurses, engineers, police etc? Do they have the skills, ability and willingness? Some seem to be coming for an easy life. No doubt brainwashed by the people traffickers that the UK is a soft touch, that they will be welcomed, housed, fed and well looked after. Same as I here some armchair experts suggest our indigenous unemployed should be trained up in necessary skills. I worked all my life including serving in the army. Yet I got rejected when I applied to join the police and I would be totally unsuited to do anything in the medical profession. Although moderately right-wing I intensely dislike Farage and his shoddy, 'simple solutions' party although I can understand frustrated people flocking to their ranks. You cannot really compare it to Nazi Germany's anti-Jewish policies. The Jews had been legally in Germany for centuries and were major contributors, rather than scroungers, of the state. Also would be interesting to know the attitude of said 'boat people' towards gays. Remember a lot of them come from vehemently anti-gay cultures. | |||

"The dinghies are not bringing in economic migrants. Because they are not legally allowed to work. Neither are the asylum seekers, because you're suppsed to seek asylum at the first safe border. The legal migrants are economic migrants. Moving people is big business The trafickers have a sales pitch. The NGO's make money from bringing them in, processing the claims, housing them, the lawyers make money fighting their cases, not to mention the govt jobs involved. Meanwhile, they make genuine asylem seekers situation worse. This( like many things) should not be a polirical issue. " One more point here: if immigrants wanting to live here could demonstrate useful skills, training or qualifications, they would face little difficulty in obtaining residence legally. The illegals on boats (or smuggled in by other means) bring nothing useful to our country...by definition. | |||

They could be trained to be drs, nurses, police, military, carers, fast food workers or any other role they may or may not be qualified to do. Again referring to them as illegals is part of the problem, they are not illegal, as determined in British and international law. They are in the majority asylum seekers and those that are not, are deported. It's long past the time where we talk about migrants in such distasteful and deliberately inflammatory ways and long past due to announce deportations, rather than arrivals. | |||

They enter the country illegally, They may claim asylum, but until their case is heard, they have no valid claim. If they have skills we need they shouldn't be providing a market for criminal gangs but applying through our existing procedures. And we don't have room for them. | |||

In a fantasy world as espoused by some politicians who are out of touch with reality. Of the jobs you list probably fast-food outlet workers and carers would be the only viable careers. Even then they would need training, dedication, social skills and language skills. It takes specialist skills to be doctors, nurses, police, military etc. Also how can they be legal when they just turn up on our shores unannounced. You go abroad and try re-entering this country without a passport. You'd soon be arrested. Yes people can seek asylum but are these people genuine asylum seekers? A large contingent are from Albania which is not being torn apart by civil war, is not being invaded by a foreign power and does not have an oppressive government. No doubt some are coming from similar countries. Face reality. A lot of them are economic migrants who will probably contribute very little to the well being of this country | |||

The real patriots don't need to shout about it like sheep led by wankers like Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. We are secure in our identity. As I asked. Are you ashamed of your national flag? Tell you what. You wank into yours and I'll fly mine (and if I do I'll look for a genuine made in England one, don't worry) when I fucking well feel like it. Flags are just symbols for stupid people to signal with when they feel insecure about everything else. Real patriots don't feel insecure or need to do anybody else down. So it seems you are ashamed of our national flag. Very telling. " No, it says a lot about you. | |||

" Can the 'boat people' be trained to be doctors, nurses, engineers, police etc? Do they have the skills, ability and willingness? Some seem to be coming for an easy life. No doubt brainwashed by the people traffickers that the UK is a soft touch, that they will be welcomed, housed, fed and well looked after. Same as I here some armchair experts suggest our indigenous unemployed should be trained up in necessary skills. I worked all my life including serving in the army. Yet I got rejected when I applied to join the police and I would be totally unsuited to do anything in the medical profession. Although moderately right-wing I intensely dislike Farage and his shoddy, 'simple solutions' party although I can understand frustrated people flocking to their ranks. You cannot really compare it to Nazi Germany's anti-Jewish policies. The Jews had been legally in Germany for centuries and were major contributors, rather than scroungers, of the state. Also would be interesting to know the attitude of said 'boat people' towards gays. Remember a lot of them come from vehemently anti-gay cultures. To answer the question, yes. They could be trained to be drs, nurses, police, military, carers, fast food workers or any other role they may or may not be qualified to do. Again referring to them as illegals is part of the problem, they are not illegal, as determined in British and international law. They are in the majority asylum seekers and those that are not, are deported. It's long past the time where we talk about migrants in such distasteful and deliberately inflammatory ways and long past due to announce deportations, rather than arrivals. In a fantasy world as espoused by some politicians who are out of touch with reality. Of the jobs you list probably fast-food outlet workers and carers would be the only viable careers. Even then they would need training, dedication, social skills and language skills. It takes specialist skills to be doctors, nurses, police, military etc. Also how can they be legal when they just turn up on our shores unannounced. You go abroad and try re-entering this country without a passport. You'd soon be arrested. Yes people can seek asylum but are these people genuine asylum seekers? A large contingent are from Albania which is not being torn apart by civil war, is not being invaded by a foreign power and does not have an oppressive government. No doubt some are coming from similar countries. Face reality. A lot of them are economic migrants who will probably contribute very little to the well being of this country" Bet you and loads of others take your car to them to be cleaned. Queue a mile long at the one near me | |||

The only time I used to take my car to be cleaned was to four Polish immigrant, who had arrived here legally, and who had taken the lease on a disused filling station to carry out their legitimate business of car cleaning and valeting. Until they have been processed, which can take months if not years, said 'boat people' do not work. Most seem to hang around shopping centres or outside girls schools, making a nuisance of themselves. | |||

"Rule Britannia! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 And its wonderful ethnic history. Indeed, Britain has contributed hugely to the world:- Steam power, Railways, Shipbuilding, Engineering, Telegraph, Telephone, Light Bulb, Penicillin, Jet Engine, Hovercraft, World Wide Web, Stethoscope, ATM, Vaccination, Anaesthesia, DNA Structure, Heart Transplant, IVF, Stem Cell Research, Cancer Treatments, Antibiotics, Botox, Malaria Vaccine, Ebola Vaccine, Football, Rugby, Cricket, Tennis, Golf, Shakespeare, Chaucer, Dickens, Brontë sisters, Hardy, Wilde, Orwell, Christie, Tolkien, to name but a few, the list goes on.... We can truly be a proud nation! Long may it be so! 🇬🇧 …. Shakespeare, Chaucer, Dickens, Brontë sisters, Hardy, Wilde, Orwell, Christie, Tolkien“ … Are you referring to Oscar Wilde ? An Irishman, born in Dublin ? Get your facts right 🇮🇪 🇮🇪 At the time of dear old Oscar Wilde, Ireland was under direct British Rule old boy, indeed one should always attempt to get ones facts correct! 🇬🇧🇬🇧 You complete pompous fool. Oscar Wilde was born in Dublin, Ireland. He was Irish. His nationality didn’t change because England invaded Ireland 🇮🇪 Yes, without doubt Oscar Wilde was indeed Irish by birth and heritage. However, during his lifetime, Ireland was part of the United Kingdom, and as such, he was a British subject. This was the case for all residents of Ireland from 1801, when the Acts of Union took effect, until the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, although Ireland had been under British Rule since the time of Henry VIII in 1542! It's a matter of historical fact, rather than a reflection on his personal identity or nationality. The complexities of history can sometimes be multifaceted, and it's possible to acknowledge Wilde's Irish roots while also recognising the political reality of the time. I understand your strong feelings on the matter, but there's certainly no need for crass personal attacks – a discussion of historical facts is perfectly possible without hostility and an unwarranted outburst of ill-manners! 🇮🇪🇬🇧 Would you also declare that Mahatma Gandhi was British? Yes, Gandhi was indeed a British subject until India's independence in 1947, a fact acknowledged by Gandhi himself! Historical context matters – people's national identities and allegiances evolve over time. Let's focus on understanding the complexities of history rather than getting bogged down in semantics. Semantics are important - I didn't ask if you thought Gandhi was a British subject You're now shifting goalposts! I've made my point about historical context. Gandhi's status as a British subject is a matter of history! " Ghandi is overated in my opinion. After all, he only one decent movie! | |||

"40,000 economic migrants have arrived this year on dingy boats alone so far and still rising. Towns with a population of around 40,000 include the whole of Merthyr Tydfil in Wales, Wokingham in Surrey, Jarrow in the North, and Grantham in the Midlands. Now these are big numbers. This does not include those arriving on student visas, tourist visas or family reunion visas. Stop the boats... " You're probably one who voted for brexit, which has caused the boat problem. Before credit we could deport anyone arriving illegally straight back, now we cant. By law we have to give them shelter. My question to you is, how do we stop them, and if we do ,do you really think that will cure the problems we face because of 14 years of Tory neglect? And if right wing politics failed us so badly do you honestly think the far right is the answer? | |||

"110,000 is more than the population of Doncaster. Whats going.on here guys? Your country and heritage is being pillaged by dark skinned foreigners and all you can do about it is post impotently on a site where most men come in hopes of anal sex, some of them with similarly pale complexioned fellow travellers. Sucks being you. Try putting another flag on a lamppost, you'll feel better. Why mention skin colour?. It matters not who they are or where they are from. Are you ashamed of your national flag? My wife's a white American southerner who's here on an indefinite leave to remain visa because she teaches secondary maths in inner city Birmingham, a job most new UK recruits can't hack for more than a couple of years and she's been doing it for 10. Is she the sort of economic migrant you'd approve of? Because I can tell you the political climate around people who come here from elsewhere stresses her the fuck out. As I asked. Are you ashamed of your national flag?" They are on lampposts all over this sceptered Isle. Well England. I didn't see any in Scotland when I was there this week. They are only half way up. Are they all at half mast for some reason. I think it's extremely patriotic of us to buy hundreds of thousands of union jacks or st George's flags. It must be helping the Chinese economy enormously. 5k about, they reckon it costs a migrant to be transported here. They don't walk from countries like Syria with an dinghy on their heads. 5k x 40,000. Do the maths organised crime is making a fortune out of selling a dream to desperate people. Send the SAS in to finish off the criminals responsible for this | |||

"Our birth rate is dropping our population is aging. There are already skills shortages in multiple sectors, including health, engineering, building trades, social care etc. Let them come, they get jobs and contribute. The ills of this country are not caused by people in boats. It’s caused by millionaires and billionaires trying to stay rich. People in small boats have not been in control of power for decades. The small boats are a distraction. Replace small boats or immigrant with jew and you will see how close the rhetoric is to a party in Germany in the 1930s. That party came first the gays too. The right will do the same here. Just remember that as you cheer them on. Some of the things you say may well be true. Maybe we are heading for a skills shortage with out dwindling birthrate and ageing population. But are illegal boat people, arriving on our shores, going to solve the problem? Legal immigrants arrive via scheduled flights and ferries. They have pre-arranged jobs and accommodation to go to. Often a great asset to some institutions like the NHS. Can the 'boat people' be trained to be doctors, nurses, engineers, police etc? Do they have the skills, ability and willingness? Some seem to be coming for an easy life. No doubt brainwashed by the people traffickers that the UK is a soft touch, that they will be welcomed, housed, fed and well looked after.
