Britains Airports Jam packed with...

Not on my salary.

on the divi's then.
you boast of how well off you are.

20000 Syrians have been granted asylum in the UK in the past ten years. So these ones are not illegal immigrants.

Once you've been applying for asylum of 12 months, and it's not a delay due to you, there is a list of jobs you can sign up for. So there we have it, approved asylum seekers can work and after 12 months many awaiting approval can work. And do.

But you know this. As I said, you're just trolling.

The threat for which asylum was granted has now gone. Surely these refugees can now return to their homelands - if their original claim for asylum was genuine.

With regards to your figure of 20000 I assume you're referring to the 20000 that were accepted as part of the "Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme" and not the ~8000 who have crossed the channel illegally since 2020?

And by your admission they receive benefits. Now that the threat has been removed they have no reason to stay and can go home - if they can't afford to pay for flights then the government will step in and help.

Where is the bile and misinformation?

If you want an honest discussion drop the ad hominem and grow up.

There was no ad hominem… it's was an accurate description of the general theme of the comments you make


And when challenged you come back telling people to grow up or stfu rather than engaging in an honest discussion

Challenged? You make a childish ad hominem comment and you call that being challenged. You're not discussing the issue, you're attempting to attack the person. You have no argument.

So you keep saying but just because you keep saying it doesn't make it true

You started the thread with hateful comments about people who'd fled a war zone in a country that's been ruled by tyrants for the last 50 years, where imprisonment, rape, torture and death were common for people who held differing views to the regime

I called your comments out for what they were and not once have you engaged with that criticism in a genuine way

"Hateful comments"? I would suggest that your definition of "Hateful" needs a kick up the arse along with your English teacher.

In fact, please highlight the comments which you feel to be "Hateful" and cause you such offence.

Can you elaborate on why you felt the need to include this in your OP:

Reports of "So long and thanks for the benefits" notes left nailed to the front doors of rental houses may be an exageration.

Also mildly amusing that you criticised someone else's English teacher

If you don't want your comments to be criticised as hateful then don't rollout racist tropes implying refugee's from an active war zone are just here for the benefits

Why else are illegal immigrants, ~8000 of them identifying as Syrian risking their lives crossing the English Channel to get to the UK?

What could possibly be the attraction, knowing that they have travelled through numerous other safe territories, why risk their lives again to cross one of the busiest seaways in the world? What is there in the UK that makes them take that risk if not accommodation, money, healthcare, education and very little chance of being sent back to their own country?

The proof of the pudding will be in the eating, if as you are saying that they were fleeing a war torn country then now that the threat has gone there's no reason for the majority of them to stay.
