Please do tell us more about your trips to Sweden, we'd love to hear your insights.

What's that, you've never been?

Oh.

Spent some time in Malmo. Nice people but Malmo at that time was the most boring and dull place on god’s earth. Certainly not boring or dull now.
Perhaps you might like to answer the question instead of ducking the issue.

I was in Malmo last March. Seemed very much the same as usual to me. Will be going again in April, I look forward to it also being the nice, calm and quiet place it usually is.

Obviously in the fever dreams of racists and lunatic right wingers it's something totally different. But then what would they know?

As a pure point of pedantry, the former Swedish Prime Minister.

I see Lee Anderson says the Conservatives won the last election based on Brexit, Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn. A not unreasonable analysis. However, as he acknowledges, those three are done and gone. At the next election he suggests that his party go with a mix of culture wars and trans debate. Y’know, to help the UK face up it’s really core structural issues.

Residents in Skegness are not happy with the influx of refugees.

Well no one else wants to live there.

There will always be people that game the system. There will always be undesirables in any significant group. It is how we create a society that encourages these people to behave in a more considered way.

The vast majority of asylum seekers are looking for a better life. There will always be scum prepared to exploit their vulnerability. Whilst ever we are unable to deal with these low lives the trend will continue. The question should be what are we as a society prepared to do to make it unprofitable/too dangerous for these people to operate in this country.

We need to elevate what is acceptable behaviour in society.

This is difficult to do with the example set by the current government particularly during the de Pfeffel period.

I would agree - hopefully Sunak and then Starmer will elevate the behaviour of the MPs and the government as a whole. We wont end up with another Pandemic and the scum that took advantage and weak ministers who allowed it to happen

Don’t forget the chancellor who dished up funds to fake companies with 4.2 billion still to be recovered I believe.

Looks like an outbreak of cultural enrichment has occurred in the Wakefield area. I note a senior police officer attended the press conference..
I am working on the assumption that Wakefield is a crime free area. Thus enabling him to assist in the cultural enrichment programme.
Almost forgot, any sign of the batley school teacher who failed his cultural enrichment test? Apparently he hasn’t been seen for quite awhile, not certain why that is.

Easily forgotten about. Just like you’ve forgot about the hundreds of English servicemen who died and the hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis that died on the back of labours lies

And just like youve forgotten about Churchill and the deaths he caused in India. Or do you want to be selective about the past?

You must have forgotten the original reason a coalition force went to Iraq/Kuwait in the first place.

I am sure it was something to do with a brutal dictator who killed 100000's of people, sometimes in a gruesome fashion, who invaded another country.

The world is full of brutal dictators who kill thousands of their own citizens to maintain control - we can't be the world's police.

Trying to lighten the thread but can’t all these Asylum seekers be allowed to stay if they were made to be Giants fans, help fill the stadium a bit.

Haven't they suffered enough?

Can’t believe I missed this gem of a post lol

You must have been on one of your other trolling accounts.

They are not asylum seekers

Oh yeah?
None of them?

A migrant is a person who has left their home country by choice, in order to seek a better life.Conflict or persecution not being the reason to do so .A migrant is not an asylum seeker or refugee.

Would hazard a guess and say the majority of channel crossing folk are simply migrants.
Still plenty of available housing and no waiting weeks to see your quack or schools that are chocka.

Country and system are overloaded.
Years and decades of unlimited mass immigration that nobody asked for or voted for.

In 2021 out of 19807 asylum applications made 14690 were approved. So the majority clearly weren't simply "migrants" then. https://researchbriefings.files.parliam ... df#page=28
