I wonder if they - as a genuinely concerned person would - immediately inform the police . . . or wait until they have the story and shots they were after?
I wonder whether they ever ask the migrants why they’d rather risk drowning on the high seas than stay in France.

The media has acted in the same manner for years. However, if the police were stood there watching not sure they would need informing? (if you're referring to the same incident, I'm not sure)

That question has been asked & answered several times already has it not?

you know what you posted right hinge of the overton window that puts me as far right as right can be so basically saying I am capable of

"Far-right politics, also referred to as the extreme right or right-wing extremism, are politics further on the right of the left–right political spectrum than the standard political right, particularly in terms of being anti-communist, authoritarian, ultranationalist, and having nativist ideologies and tendencies."

as I said implying I am a Nazi

Don't come back with a "that is not what I meant" post cuz it was exactly what you did

I was stating, not implying, that people who use phrases like "loony left" usually quite a lot to the right of the political spectrum - if you wish to imply that that means you’re a Nazi, that’s entirely up to you.

I was referring to occasions when there was no police presence . . although now I've thought about it, the journo's follow plod to stories usually don't they.

hey ho, obvious lack of alcoholic beverage at my side ;)

To my mind, there's a degree of similarity here

Much as it pains me to come to Hugh's defence, and equally so to cut across you, Hugh didn't get near implying you are a Nazi. That was an inference that you (wrongly) made. Nazi is very strong and needs to be explicit to stick.

Maybe the details of the train wreck were on the other side of the bus?
I'm shocked those figures aren't higher, really am

Like the Mail, got a page bookmarked somewhere where they're complaining about the "huge influx" of stateless German Jews in the 1930's and how something had to be done about "the problem", surprised it didn't call for a final solution tbh

I also wonder if they're coming by dingy now because coming by truck trailer is harder now

A question that really needs asking at a much higher level, why do they come here, is it because of common language or family here or is it because they think we're a soft touch with benefits and it's easier to get work? There's nothing we can do about the former but plenty we can do about the latter, personally I think it's because they've already lost everything and risked so much to get that far all those reasons are valid so in much the same way France does nothing to stop them leaving we need to do more to discourage them, as previously stated the benefits are higher in France so maybe we need to be a bit more draconian with the punishments for people who employ or house them, the word will soon filter back, how'd you think word got to them to come here in the first place
