QUOTE (SirWilliam @ Dec 29 2018, 09:16 AM) Wouldn't it be more cost effective to ship them across the channel on a ferry; process their credentials and return those who don't meet the criteria on the next crossing? On a subjective matter, what has all this to do with japanese whaling? Had it escaped your notice that this site has been taken over by extreme right wingers? NWN ought to pull the plug in my opinion.

The comedy continues eh? BTW, they are NOT migrants, they are illegal aliens attempting to buck the system, so should be treated as such.

They are neither. They are refugees from a war caused by western governments. You’re just too indoctrinated by right wing media to see it.

So why do they end up in small boats trying to sneak in illegally? Is there an internationally accepted mode of transport for refugees? What were the Vietnamese Boat People? More idiotic hate filled nonsense.

OH, and the Vietnamese were genuine refugees from a communist regime. They didn't bring rape, killing and no-go zones either. You ARE a communist aren't you?

He just wants to feel good about himself, but expect someone else to house them. Newres should be combing Dover seeking out wealthy Iranian illegals to house in chez Newres🤣

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Dec 30 2018, 09:44 PM) Can't even be bothered to answer. He is being obtuse as he can't. It's what he does. He did answer it correctly: QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Dec 29 2018, 10:33 PM) Can you explain to me your definition of someone who is not a refugee? Enlighten me... QUOTE (newres @ Dec 30 2018, 07:31 AM) Someone who has not left home to escape war or political violence. A refugee is someone who seeks shelter after fleeing a war torn country. Therefore, someone who is not a refugee is someone who has not fleed a war torn country. Were you meant to have asked: give me an example of a migrant who is not a refugee?

Were you meant to have asked: give me an example of a migrant who is not a refugee? The issue is newres seems to THINK everyone is a refugee if they don't live in a prosperous country. I don't. Some of these Iranians are paying 20k just to cross. 5 adults at 4k a pop. They are not short of a few Bob and they are "fleeing" the 6th biggest economy in the world. France. Doesn't quite add up to a refugee in my view.

Wealthy people can be refugees by the way. Which double contradicts your point that they are after our welfare system. Think of the wealthy Jews fleeing Nazism.

Why is an opinion you disagree with "angry"? I guess all the Russian billionaires who have fallen out with Putin are also "refugees" then???

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Dec 31 2018, 07:36 PM) That's rubbish. It's a bit like saying all liberals are gay. Just stereotypical nonsense. And you.know it. No. Gammons are red faced and angry. That’s why they are gammons. Tautological. Yes?
