As @Sadfish says, our chronic labour market shortages and basic demographics mean we are in desperate need of the labour that used to come in here to plug the gaps. That was before lunatics spent five years telling them to leave the country.

Yes, it's absolutely nothing to do with the chronic underfunding of services by the Tories who have been in power for more than a decade now. No siree, let's blame foreign people and lefties, how about the EU, do you still want to try blaming them?

You right wingers constantly demand people take personal responsibility. But you never, ever take responsibility for what you and the government you elected have done to our country. It's always someone else's fault: another country, another government, immigrants or lefties. Try and hold you to account and you get all snowflakey, complain about being picked on or the left wing media (LOL) or some other ridiculous trivia.

You lot have run the country for almost all of my lifetime. If it's a mess, which it clearly is, how about you look closer to home than blaming everyone else for what you've done?

Ref kippers, I voted reman, as for voting for the Tory party, that would be impossible as Cameron cheerfully extinguished the Tory party. Any remaining embers were stamped on by Johnson. No country in the world can absorb the unprecedented wave of migration the uk has endured without some repercussions.
You may care to comment regarding the proposed dumping of 1500 illegal immigrants into a camp at Linton on Ouse. The population of the village is 1200. The local doctors can’t take anymore patients ,obviously any medical problems will land in the lap of York hospital. When that is overrun you will be able to complain those disgusting tories have run down the nhs. Still ever cloud has a silver lining, we may get more bearded film critics, they have done a splendid job in Bradford banning a film none of them have seen.

I especially like the use of the word "them", when you refer to the banning of the film in Bradford, which I dont agree should be banned.
Maybe "them" refers to anyone with a beard ?

Do you think that sending ANYONE to Rwanda is a decent solution to the problem ?

This is all deterrent and no solution

This was the same person who then decided it would be better to send them to Linton on Ouse despite it being smaller and lacking any support services. I would suggest therefore that the problem of the so called dumping of human beings is directly due to the current Home Secretary.

Backwoodsman wrote:I suggest the problem is illegal immigrants , doesn’t really matter in which part of the country they are placed. A decent hotel in York is full of them, I can fully understand the rush to get out of France, when the reward is a place in one of the countries nicest cities. As opposed to sleeping in tents in Calais. Anyway congratulations ,you have managed a posting without the mention of Boris Johnson

Backwoodsman wrote:Not certain about Rwanda being the solution to the problem, I merely stated that EU are paying millions to the Turkish government to house Illegal immigrants in camps. I have 2 friends that are going through an extremely expensive process in bringing family members to the uk. They are going down the official route. The process has taken 3 years, one successful outcome so far. The other still ongoing , probably be easier and cheaper to go to France and hitch a lift on the frequent dinghy service. Apparently major delays to official applicants are due to the thousands of illegal immigrants who have to be processed first. Perhaps you may have the answer to the problem?
