£500,000 has apparently now been set aside to reserve beds in hotels for any new migrants. Places particularly near the south east coast of England have difficulty offering holiday makers accommodation due to migrant occupation. Despite the situation, the home secretary and PM state that they are doing all they can to deal with the problem.
TM That's the problem with the political parties here. The labour opposition won't be any stronger. Starmer is weak and changes his mind every few minutes. What has been required for a long time is a party that holds the views of the majority and shows strength and decisive action and not be afraid of the minority groups who oppose any action that prevents illegal migration.
The rule regarding refugees or asylum seekers is to make your claim in the first country that you escape to, and then be processed. If you were desperate you would be happy to escape to any other democratic country. But many of the current migrants are avoiding the system and for financial gain reasons are selecting their preference and crossing many countries, in some cases, and paying the people smugglers to provide transport. In the case of UK, most crossings are made in motorized dinghies.
Many of the people fleeing to the UK have been from Albania where there is no war or human rights issues. They are mainly young single males wishing to improve their financial options. The Ukrainian refugees have been welcomed sympathetically and live with British families. They didn't arrive via people smugglers. Hong Kong people have been offered migration places too due to their oppression by Chinese regime. The rest of the immigrants is a mixture of those who have passed through Europe and chosen UK maybe because of a knowledge of English language or they feel there are more opportunities here.
Another 1000 migrants crossed the channel over last week. Smugglers who organise it must make a load of money. And we use life boats to pick them up to bring to England. Sunak promised to stop the boats. No success yet. In fact, more crossing.
In addition to the recorded conversation, apparently 25 minutes before the assassination, an English newspaper called the Cambridge news received a phone call warning about the threat.
People get obsessed with veganism, so they would feel upset if they discovered their particular food was contaminated with animal by products. I am a vegetarian so I don't rule out low fat cheese. But once you embark on plant based drinks and food, it's difficult to return to my former eating habits.
Glad you admit you talk crap. You can't blame a whole race of people because of the actions of a few. I prefer to believe western media and humanitarian organisations and up to date facts than ancient history. That has no relevance to the people suffering today. But I suppose if you are not involved, it doesn't really matter.
The thread is about UK sheltering HK refugees and China complaining. If it deviates it's because others have raised issues about believing western media, and of course why would HK citizens wish to seek refuge in UK. Chinese suppression of course. There's no hiding from it and examples given as to why. If it's uncomfortable for you, you don't have to respond. I know the truth hurts for some communist sympathisers.
Rizlared There have been many documentaries and interviews with men and women who were in these camps and who describe the conditions that existed. This combined with photographic evidence and investigations by human rights organisations confirms the existence of the internment camps. The system is not going to be advertised but concealed by the government. I suppose you deny that the holocaust ever happened.
If a group feel oppressed and wish to draw attention to their plight and that of others in their country, then the question is whether when given the opportunity to make their feelings known, should they communicate this to the world. Same applies to other countries such as Iran and the plight of women's rights there. Given the opportunity, should they tell the world? Or just suffer in silence?
Shen Yun dance company despite being Chinese are not allowed to perform in China because they are considered to be a cult. Their dance routine tells the story of Chinese history, but not that which the Chinese gov approves. I've spoken to reps of this group and they say how oppressive life is in their country and that Britain should never have given control of Hong Kong to China. The dance group does world tours and the participants live outside China.
Why were the Hong Kong citizens unhappy about UK's handover to China? Would they now chose the present system or a democratic UK rule? The display of union jack's in Hong Kong was a feature of their big protests when the young people were beaten and arrested. But I know you have sympathetic feelings towards China due to your connections there.
Lou Lou You sound the sort of person that has looked at religions and are the type that can not be brainwashed. You are a thinker and can see how different beliefs affect the actions of individuals. Have you ever studied religions and observed the type of people that become switched off from reality and shut their minds to any suggestion of logical explanation for fear of drifting from their world and being cast out of their cult. I have always had an open mind and grateful that I can think and never be subject to the strict acceptance of the beliefs of others.
Lou Lou. Why do you think Trump has many women followers, who defend him solidly. Whatever he says or does makes no difference in their eyes. Can you explain that?
Taliban have now ordered hair and beauty salons in Afghanistan to shut by 2 July. Also, teenage girls and women are barred from classrooms, gyms and parks.
Grandsiose That's my view too. I think China has so far escaped the blame. Remember the Chinese guy who first raised the problem and reported it. He was arrested, silenced and punished. When the whole matter was exposed and the seriousness of the virus became common knowledge, he was released and received an apology.
Merlot Good show for the villagers. Were they exposed to any genetically modified strain? By the way, I welcome difference of opinion, but not personal remarks. When you enter that area you put your comments in the area of the rat pack. Is that what you wish for?
