Of course if UKIP actually got power, no one would want to come here
anyway. The ports would be full of people leaving to get away from them.

That is entirely a matter of opinion and I disagree with you.

UKIP are locked out of Tonights
Question Time for leaders even though their share of the vote is higher
than the limpdems!


We won't know what share of the vote they have until after next
Thursday. All else is conjecture.

We now have achieved censorship in our national
broadcaster. How do you like that? Do you support it?


It is no more censorship than is omitting the SNP, who are far more
likely to be important in the next parliament, or the Greens. It is
simply speaking to the leaders of the three parties with the most MPs.
That may or may not change next week, but for this week, it is still the
case that they are the three main parliamentary parties.


So you do support cesorship, I expected so.

They destroy it by just being here in the numbers coming.


In 2014, the UK granted just over 14,000 requests for asylum. Are you
really frightened by that number?


Yes, it's 14K too many.

Have fun explaining suicide bombers that do a lot more than just risk

Yes. The average suicide bomber risks dying by drowning on an overcrowded
boat before getting to his destination - taking care to keep his powder
dry.


Irrelevant to whether they risk a bit more than life and limb.

Its very far from clear that many of those 'asylum seekers'
are actually seeking asylum at all. They are in fact mostly
just flouting the immigration law that way. Nothing like

There shouldn't be any at all.
They are supposed to go to the nearest safe country not cross Africa/Europe
to get here.

Most are economic migrants, here to sponge at worst and take jobs at best.

Even brain dead socialists are coming to realise this.
They are the biggest danger since Adolf Hitler.

They will turn this country into a replica of wherever they came from,

You hold them because you are either too stupid or too hypocritical to
see that the very last way your stated desires will ever be achieved is
by supporting the political ideologies that you do.

Something right wingers will never ever understand.

My contempt is not for your politics, its for your own stupidity and

That is very misleading. What matters is what the population

By your standards Harry, Attila the Hun was a socialist. I am what all
the parties want to attract - the floating voter. My vote goes to the
party that I think offers the best for the country at the time of each
election and I believe that having any one party in power for too long
is bad for the country.

Socialists think they will vote labour.


The Labour party stopped being a socialist party when Blair took over.
It is now simply left of centre.

They never think more than a couple of years ahead.


That is far more true of anybody who supports leaving the EU.

If yuo want to know the total number of immigrants in the country then you have to count both. Asylum seekers still take up space and resources but aren't seen as immigrants on goventment stats. And that's just thos ethey know about and can count. This stat fiffling is also done for migration.
In that they use migration numbers rather than immigrant numbers.

Depends what you mean by valid. They claim they will reduce the rate of
immigration. But then so have the Tories and Labour at various times.

Of course if UKIP actually got power, no one would want to come here
anyway. The ports would be full of people leaving to get away from them.

Fantastic. That should solve the housing shortage

With luck all the full of hate people would go as well.


Oh come on, most (politions anyway) say that immigration is good for the economy. If people moved out how would that solve the housing shortage ?
After all moving 300,000 in doesn't do any harm to anyhting and has NO effect on the housing shortage, there's no housing shortage is there ?

I don;t see a housing shortage are houses getting shorter ;-)

Only the likes of Farage and his supporters who don't possess a brain cell
between them would believe refugees would risk life and limb to get to a
country when their sole purpose was to destroy it.


They destroy it by just being here in the numbers coming.


In 2014, the UK granted just over 14,000 requests for asylum. Are you
really frightened by that number?


I wouldn't be if it were true. I never managed to find out what happened to the 5 or so that jumped out of a lorry a friend was unpacking. They disapeared apparently, and I bet they aren't the only ones that have arrived and the govenrment haven't counted.
Of course it's delibrate to use asymum seekers as they are reliavily few in numbers compared to legal immigration.
It's a bit like asking the Ugandan government or russian how many gays they have in their country.

or why the government is employing illigal, immigrants when thre's plenty of people of all races and religions legally in the country.

And that was 4 years ago.

So spouting that the UK has a low number of refugess and asylum seekers
is completely missing the point, some might think delibratly.


Do try to keep your attributions straight. Dave Plowman wrote about the
immigration rate. I wrote about the numbers of asylum seekers. If you
wish to dispute the immigration figures, you should be replying to DP.


I wonder why not many Poles seek asylum in the UK. Can anybody think of a
reason for that?


Why are we talking about asylum seekers anyway they can't take jobs in the UK or benifits other than about fiver a day.
We were talking about immigrantion.

If yuo want to know the total number of immigrants in the country then you have to count both....


If I wanted to talk about immigration, those figures are readily
available. However, Nigel was specifically talking about the situation
in the Mediterranean and those people are asylum seekers, hence the only
ones relevant to this thread.

The true figures aren't, or at best well disquised.

yes those are asylum seekers that will require resources in the UK.
Such as hpousing and medical care, even food. They aren;t that difernt from any other person currently in the UK from that point of view.
Asylum seekers, breathe they eat, they ****, they take up space sometimes called a footprint, so ignoring them isn't a good idea. Not counting them doesn;t mean they don;t exists.



hence the only
ones relevant to this thread.


You mean on this thread, titled OT Immigration Nigel Farage.

Who, if they do it by choice, are generally well educated single men,
averaging around 21 years old, with strong religious or political
motivation.

I was only counting them. They are the ones who are fleeing persecution,
many from their own government, and who need the protection of another
country.

Harry's choice of title is misleading. The video link is Nigel blaming
the situation in the Med. on the bombing of Libya, although, in fact,
the largest numbers of those seeking asylum in the UK won't have come
from there.
