close to the time of his death, Colonel Ghadaffi identified himself as the cork in the bottle , stopping legions of young men flowing into the Mediterranean.

he predicted that after he was gone, there would be a tsunami from the Middle East & Africa.

..............

But lets forget about the politics and look at your street,

how many Local men have you seen, this week, with a partner from those places ? and how many Local women with a fella from there ? Do the numbers of the two groups match 50:50 ? and if not, do we need more women from those countries ?

Prejudice is to hold an opinion that is not backed up by the statistics. Science is about observing the data and forming a true picture.

Three events I have seen in the media in the last 5 years have resonated with me and are deeply implanted in me.
The first in 2015 was the body of a small boy washed up on a beach somewhere in Turkey.
The 2nd a couple of months ago. This was in Yemen. A village in spite of all the fighting in that country had been able to restore their local school. They had insufficient teachers and little boy aged about 9, was helping out with teaching his fellow students. Oh, just one thing, the boy was BLIND.
The last, which sums up what a mess mankind is making of itself. The Moroccan/Spanish situation in Ceuta.
An infant child, floating in the water without mother or father rescued by a Spanish soldier.
Talk about what you like. men coming to UK and sending money earned back to his country of origin.
It splits up his family, his kids have no fatherly guidance. Its a petty whinge, not worthy of us Brits.
Its humanity at risk here!

There’s an easy solution to all this.

Provide anyone who arrives at our shores with a council house in New Addington.

They’d soon fook off back to where they came from.

I work with refugees on a daily basis. They are always popping home to do something. Even throughout this pandemic. Whilst, at the same time, saying their country is too dangerous. I wouldn't say all are like this - some are genuine. But 80% are here for the life, not for the reasons they state. I ask them, and many simply admit it.
One of the ones I work with just went over to Zimbabwe for a month. A place they have claimed asylum from. I found it rather ironic as it's been nearly impossible for me to go anywhere legally. But I guess they're used to illegal travelling and don't particularly care about 'our' laws, until it suits them. Talk about playing the system. The naivety surrounding 'refugees' is largely caused by the media highlighting the cases that you speak about. It's actually widely known that the kid's body in Turkey was placed there for the photo - it was staged. Yet people still lap it up, thinking they can somehow help. I guess it's just the human way.
Be as woke as you like, work with asylum seekers, I urge everyone to, even the most woke would see exactly what I'm talking about, probably within a week or two.

Yes, I don't doubt it. And every time a Government tries to control the situation, the woke mob get their protests and demonstrations going and it's the Government that are portrayed as the evil ones. Meanwhile another boatload turns up somewhere on the South Coast. Ironically, I had a friend who worked in the Home Office at Lunar(tic) House. He had great trouble when going on holiday to the US...his job took him to Islamabad many times and the stamps in his passport resulted in long delays at US border gates. Perhaps he should have eaten his passport on route.
