It should be the case that we do our part and take in as many refugees as France.

It should be the case that we honour our debts and take in the people that risked their lives to help our troops in Afghanistan.

It should be the case that people stop listening to grifters peddling lies on the internet.

How is their claim not valid if the Home Office allowed it? You think Priti Patel was like "oh, go on then, I'll turn a blind eye just this once" ?

It isn't the case that they have to claim in the first country they come to. That's just misinformation.

If they spoke French, they would probably claim there. France takes more asylum seekers than the UK, so why would they risk their lives? We didn't even take our interpreters from Afghanistan.

You'd think that Nigel Farage would be as informed as anybody on these topics and he's getting his information from Andrew Tate. I repeat: they do not have valid concerns; they are just racists rioting.

Because they have valid claims - 67% of claims in 2023 were successful.

They are not criminals. People who smash gravestones to throw them at policemen, though, they are criminals. We should put them in a prison barge.

You're quoting the statistic about how many people were stopped on landing or shortly afterwards to tell me how they're arriving "unchecked".

Theresa May introduced the Hostile Environment, and Priti Patel made it even more strict. If the Home Office could refuse asylum applications for any reason whatsoever, they would. Despite that, the vast majority of asylum applications are successful.

So they are not cheating the system and they do have the right to be here.

Besides which, how many people do you think we're talking about? Small boats. The clue is in the name. It's not like Dunkirk out there.

Since the republicans won't do anything about gun control, the boys will probably find them useful to plug gunshot wounds.

You think that the small boats are unchecked? That they are not intercepted and the people detained?

In any case, that is only illegal because the last government made it so that you cannot claim asylum upon landing. They are not criminals in any other sense.

Criminals are not being let into the country unchecked. That is not a valid concern.

A valid concern would be that foreign actors are feeding false information to the British public to destabilize the country.

Inciting religious hatred is what it is. That is a crime and it warrants prosecution, not criticism.

He has those weird psychological tricks, like standing funny, having a long tie, and the handshake thing. Getting people to say "hello, how are you" to him is probably one of those, and he's upset that she sidestepped it.

No argument with the other points that you made, but I would much rather that they make the journey times longer and accurate, than shorter, but unlikely. Once a train is running behind and off-schedule, it only gets more and more late.

He's just a confused old man.

You're thinking about Mr Biden again, sir. Don't you worry about it. Let's check your diaper and get you back to the TV Room, OK? Don't forget your special red hat.
