Labour have previous when it comes to matters migration haven't they - an intentional and cynical policy of social engineering, importing people likely to remain here and vote for them in perpetuity. Shirley Porter with diamond encrusted knobs on! Only now they're out of office and seeking a way back in are they reluctantly admitting the negatives they once vehemently denied - the pressure on services/resources, the effect on low skilled workers, the tensions between communities. etc. etc. etc. Wind back the tape a decade or more and you'll hear these same people shouting down those of us who had the temerity to point out the inevitable consequences of their policy. Some of them are doing exactly the same now and others are only showing tacit dissent from that line because of the prevailing public mood of opposition. Give these people power again and it'll be more of the same make no mistake!
The Tories have abjectly failed to control immigration, having promised the undeliverable, yet even they have more credibility than Corbyn's cronies on this subject . Right now I think we're very lucky they're in power, because the alternative would be a nightmare if Corbyn was at the helm.

Wild speculation as always
A very very simple question for you. (taken from the BBC)
Who are the 120,000?
All are migrants "in clear need of international protection" to be resettled from Italy, Greece, Hungary to other EU member states
15,600 from Italy, 50,400 from Greece, 54,000 from Hungary, though it is unclear how many are still in Hungary
Initial screening of asylum applicants carried out in Greece, Hungary and Italy
Syrians, Eritreans, Iraqis prioritised
Financial penalty of 0.002% of GDP for those member countries refusing to accept relocated migrants
Relocation to accepting countries depends on size of economy and population, average number of asylum applications
Transfer of individual applicants within two month
Do you think the above is acceptable? and that the UK should play it's FAIR part?
