Russian ambassador assassinated

[wigginhall]

Ogling teenage girls!  I ask you, this is how brown people with funny names,  will lead to the downfall of Christendom, as before they arrived, nobody ever ogled a teenage girl.

Over here they sponge of the state, hang around railway stations putting their benefits in fruit machines and ogling teenage girls.

Xenophobia 101, the left often get hysterical about someone questioning immigration but with comments like this I'm with them, disgusting generalisation.

do you work in border control by any chance?

[Walter]

Sound like Nigel Farage supporters to me.

you say that as though its wrong!

Oh good. You haven't misunderstood me.

Hmmm! the electorate would see it differently.

Yes and 10 million flies eat dog doo.

Indeed (though we shouldn't speak in stereotypes especially to those who do talk in stereotypes and are quite stereotypical)!

I can remember ogling teenage boys when I was a teenage girl (or 12).  They ogled back.
Thems were the days,  times haven't changed that much.

to be honest I don't give a flying fuck whether we're in or out as long as the government keeps us safe from attack

I was aiming too make that point with subtle sarcasm (no such thing)....some you win, some you lose.

Whilst I would agree that safety is paramount. I'm not sure that cutting ourselves off from access to the workings of the EU is the best way of maintaining that safety.

It may be that the security services operate outside that arena - but I'd still prefer that we were in there discussing things with our neighbours and had an inside track on their thinking on the matters affecting security, rather than turning our back on them a la Farage.

You did, Trent!  I was trying to be humourous - like yourself, some you win, some you lose  .

Mr F mentions the Australian system quite often and I tend to agree with him.

The Australian comparison isn't helpful as the countries are not comparable in what they are trying to achieve. Australia has a different set of policy goals to the UK, and uses its points system to allow more workers to arrive.

[wigginhall]

Theresa May has rejected such points systems, hasn't she?  One reason being that it is automatic.   The problem will be with labour shortages, and how to fill them.   Farmers near me are worried that their field pickers will be kept out; I doubt this, I think there will be exemptions in various trades, e.g. construction and agriculture, and IT.

The Australian system results in significantly more inward migration than the current UK one (per population). Not sure Farage had actually thought that one through as he keeps banging on about reducing migration - that's not going to happen under an Australian-like system.

I never said that, yet letting in hundreds of thousands of people from these high risk countries is just madness. It's asking for trouble. It's only the politicians that want them here because many of them own the reception centres, more money in their pockets.

Not that I'm a fan of Farage but that is flawed logic, depends on the actual points system. As I understood it works thus; we need Nurses, farm workers, so people experienced/qualified in those areas would be given more points that say plumbers (not sure if we need plumbers).

[Brownie]

We do need plumbers jakswan!  All sorts of construction workers too who are good at their jobs and reliable, ie don't go awol in middle of project.
