What that fool fails to recognise is that Britain has
HALF the immigration rate that Australia does.

We are also far from the most popular destination in the EU. In 2104, we
were the sixth most popular choice, with the number of asylum seekers being:

Germany 202,645
Sweden 81,180
Italy 64,625
France 62,735
Hungary 42,775
UK 31,745

As for the crisis in the Mediterranean, unless the others are taking a
very strange route into the EU, Libya is likely to be the embarkation
point for only a couple of the five most common places of origin for
asylum seekers in the UK. For 2014, the figures we

Pakistan 3,990
Eritrea 3,280
Iran 2,500
Syria 2,410
Albania 1,890
Others 17,675

Syrians mostly want to go to Germany (41,100 applicants in 2014) and
Sweden (30,750).

Its very far from clear that any are actually running
away from religious extremists with the ones he was
going on about in that speech. They are almost all
economic 'refugees'

- and willing to risk death in the process - are
going to be the very same religious extremists.

The second largest group of Mediterranean refugees, after Syrians, are
from Eritrea, which is a predominantly Christian country: 63.5% overall,
but up to 94% in some areas. They are fleeing their own government,
which has managed to beat North Korea into second place as the world's

Once again tour blatant bigotry is blinding you to the obvious.

Jimmy Saville didn't become a charity donor and supporter for children's

Everybody is 100% honest all the time and only do things from openly

What about spain.


Ok those weren't refugees, They were soldiers.


What wewre teh londers and essex's that migrated to spain doing when they took the money and had villas built for them and went to live there.
Thew spanish claime dthey wrecked teh towns and put up house prices making them unafordably by the locals.



But lets suppose there are people who want to destroy Britain. Why would
they NOT become refugees in order to do so?


They are what htey are, we tend to put lablels on them so we can more easily identify them. A nike T-shirt is not enough of an ID.

Maybe he found that the easist way to get what he wanted.

Yes. The average suicide bomber risks dying by drowning on an overcrowded

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.


No, some will.

Have fun explaining suicide bombers that do a lot more than just risk
life and limb.

Still stuck in the 19th century I see, Hint. Semtex works even when wet...

So what have I said or done the gives you reason to believe Nigel Farage

Should I therefore deduce that Ed Miliband is a thick lefty **** with a

What that fool fails to recognise is that Britain has
HALF the immigration rate that Australia does.


We are also far from the most popular destination in the EU. In 2104, we
were the sixth most popular choice, with the number of asylum seekers being:


asylum seekers aren;lt teh same as immigrants wanting to come to the UK or anywhere else. They are TWO differnt sets.


Nigel was specifically talking about Libya and the situation in the
Mediterranean.

then perhaps it's important to know the differncies

http://www.unhcr.org.uk/about-us/the-uk-and-asylum.html

Also note that not a single one is Polish, but in 2011 there were over 1/2 million Polish in the UK. Not counting other nationailities of course.
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.

We are also far from the most popular destination in the EU. In 2104, we
were the sixth most popular choice, with the number of asylum seekers
being:

Germany 202,645
Sweden 81,180
Italy 64,625
France 62,735
Hungary 42,775
UK 31,745

As for the crisis in the Mediterranean, unless the others are taking a
very strange route into the EU, Libya is likely to be the embarkation
point for only a couple of the five most common places of origin for
asylum seekers in the UK. For 2014, the figures we

Pakistan 3,990
Eritrea 3,280
Iran 2,500
Syria 2,410
Albania 1,890
Others 17,675

Syrians mostly want to go to Germany (41,100 applicants in 2014) and
Sweden (30,750).



FFS what's with the facts, you'll only confuse the bigots.


Apparently, I am the bigot, for not using the UKIP approved Newspeak
name for their immigration policy.




As UKIP are the only party with a valid immigration policy, I see that
your head is in the sand again. UKIP are locked out of Tonights Question
Time for leaders even though their share of the vote is higher than the
limpdems! We now have achieved censorship in our national broadcaster.
How do you like that? Do you support it?

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.

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.

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

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.

Fantastic. That should solve the housing shortage

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

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?
