Or are you simply too thick to be able to tell the difference.

Nail.....Head....Hit!!

I'm not thick, or downright rude, but it appears you are. I asked some simple questions which appear to have got your blood pressure up

Would sir like a pineapple slice with that?

[Mordac]

Does this mean you refuse to answer my simple questions, because it would upset you too much?

Alright, I'll humour you. No, and IDK. That didn't upset me in the slightest, but it did waste 30 seconds of my life. That upsets me.

[WTFH]

Why don't you re-read my original post halfway down P2 (which was meant to be tongue-in-cheek). If you don't appreciate a blunt response, try to avoid asking really stupid questions.

HTHBIDI.

How do you get from "some might try" to "is it 100%"?
At no point did I say ALL THOSE PEOPLE IN BOATS ARE ISIS TERRORISTS.

What I did say was THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT A SMALL NUMBER MIGHT BE ISIS TERRORISTS.

It must be hard for you not to be able to leave your house due to fear.

“If any of my neighbours are ISIS...”
“If the postman is ISIS...”
“If there’s anyone in the town that’s ISIS...”
Etc

Are ISIS even a thing any more? Or is that still the 2015 bogeyman that you’re using to scare yourself with?

Do you struggle to leave your house, draped in that cloak of fear?

What % of the people coming by boat are terrorist? Is it 100%?
What % of them are Muslim? Is it 100%?

Not what he said at all.

No, but at least he took a position and holds an opinion, whereas your contribution is simple pedantry. Why bother?

[Bean]

It shouldn't take a great leap of imagination that some might try to get across under the guise of being a refugee.

What % of the people coming by boat are terrorist? Is it 100%?
What % of them are Muslim? Is it 100%?

Stupidly redundant questions

This might help, but it doesn’t suit his narrative that they are all ISIS-supporting terrorists:

Britain must do more to protect persecuted Christians in the Middle East, Jeremy Hunt says

Love how some of the kippers attitudes on this thread towards immigration have all of a sudden become less 'hostel environment' and more 'they're just searching for a better life'

It'll be 'Mary Poppins for tea and biscuits' this time next year

And do you know why people fall into extremism, it's because they are treated badly and as an outsider by xenophobes like yourself.

Some of them, sure. But some of them are just murderous gits.

This makes no sense ..... those trying to get across the channel have never been to the UK before and therefore they are not attempting to return to the UK, and hence are not the ISIS fighters you infer.

Returning ISIS fighters are mostly UK nationals and have UK passports. They became radicalised in the UK, and we exported these terrorists to other countries. What does that make the UK in your head? Or do you not associate the country that creates these terrorists and simply look at their heritage and skin colour?

Those trying to get across on the boats are refugees or most likely, economic immigrants. No different to when Brits want to move abroad to get a better life for their family. We even have TV shows of Brits aiming to do the same in other countries .... do you not think people should have the basic human right to better their lives?

However they cannot return by conventional means. It shouldn't take a great leap of imagination that some might try to get across under the guise of being a refugee. Most were probably radicalised via the internet. Being UK citizens has little or nothing to do with their being terrorists. Some of them were in fact white Muslim converts. I didn't mention skin colour, so don't try and paint me as a racist.
We have an immigration system, as do most countries. Those who seek to come here should follow the rules and procedures, and we should treat them on merit. Brits seeking a different life in France are not jumping on dinghies to cross the channel.
