    It's easy to be magnanimous and welcoming when you have a secure skilled job, and no doubt live in a nice area. But liberals like you are increasingly out of touch, and the longer immigration is allowed and even encouraged, the bigger the backlash that will build up, and that will adversely affect everyone, including immigrants already here!
    Could not agree more in fact I always felt a remain vote was a 'fook the poor' vote

      Well we need to ask a different question

      Do they feel they are a british citizen with all the responsibilities that go with that or do they still see themselves as something other than that and wish to live under a different set of laws.

      So if they feel Sharia law is correct they get deported.

      If they wish to live under UK law they will be tried under UK law.

      We only make this difficult for ourselves when we try and solve the problems they have created for themselves.

        I live in London where strangely enough we still have poor people. And oddly enough I help some of those poor people and have interesting discussions with them particularly about the skewed housing market.

          so how do you think importing more bodies when we are already short of housing is going to affect these poor people?

            In all the historical examples I gave people were looking to travel to particular countries and not just stay in the first country that was OK. This was because they had family, friends and/or acquaintances in those countries.

            These people like in the historical examples I gave are mostly middle class and oddly enough middle class people are demanding.

            At times it seems that they tried to fight with the Syrian troops, realised they were loosing and then decided to take advantage of soft European targets and continue the war there?
            I strongly doubt the women and children were fighting with the Syrian troops. Some of the men are actually fleeing to ensure they don't get conscripted in Assad's oppressive regime.

              why would we feel we should inflict our UK born offenders on others?

              We are talking about generations of incompetence on immigration.

                You're wasting your time, Sue Ellen is an Islington luvvie. She thinks helping the poor involves carrying someone's shopping for them out of Waitrose and to their nearly new Range Rover.

                  So would you have yourself deported to Russia as someone who doesn't support British values of decency and fair play?

                      I see, you are confusing he reasons why people leave a country and the reasons why they subsequently select new country a where they would like to be.
