God it must be so pure up there where you are - only truth and goodness - always correct and never wrong - nobody allowed to say anything against you - nobody allowed to question you - beatified and on the road to Sainthood. The one truth the unquestionable truth..................well in your head anyway.

Why say “let them drown brigade”?

Why?

It’s a shameful thing to say.

Nah you are right - nothing you say is incorrect nothing should be questioned - from now on I will adopt that mantra no matter what thread you post on and will urge other posters to respect your higher intellect - nothing that anyone else says is worth a fig and we should all just revel in your presence.

Just admit it’s a shocking thing to say?

I know you want to deflect and make it about me but I didn’t say it unfortunately for you.

You did.
 
No guilt trip, pal

Of course no-one has forced them(physically) but they have obviously weighted up the pros and cons and figured that risking their lives at sea is a better option than not doing - I cannot imagine any circumstances where I would do that so I am going to assume where they are coming from is pretty fucking awful

In addition. We are not being invaded, a few 100 people in little boats looking for a better life is hardly cause for bringing in the nave

Anyway, I will ask again - where would you run to and how would you get there?
If you're talking about being at war, are you suggesting the whole population would be scrambling to leave? For one thing, I wouldn't be leaving the wife and kids to face whatever was happening . Many of these being picked up are Iranian males, what war is it that they're fleeing, and why flee across two continents to get here?
They are economic migrants, and should be dealt with exactly the same as any other country deals with them.
 
This is an interesting article that fills in some of the blanks - probably from a "lefty" which invalidates his understanding of the law for some of the "let them all drown " brigade but interesting all the same

I'd rather them not make the journey at all, those advocating differently are however encouraging them to take the risk of drowning. The proof in the pudding is how many people drowned trying to get to mainland Europe in the last 10 years after being told they could make the dangerous journey?

Either way, this is an opinion piece from an immigration lawyer who has a vested interest in seeing more people trying to do these things because he gets paid to help them and guess who foots his bill?

That is why we have an asylum process and for the Home Secretary to say they will be rejected before hearing them is out of order

Although I would like to agree with you re leaving the wife and kids. Let's say you have only one child. That is 3 places to pay for, 3 mouths to feed on a cross continent journey, with little/no money, no access to health care and no access to sympathy given some of the responses on this thread. It is a very dangerous trip, I'm not sure I would want to risk my partner and 2 years' life in a little boat. But hopefully I will never be in that position to make that sort of decision

Anyway, for get all that - regardless of who they are and where they come from, it is a couple of hundred. They are not invading us they are either a) looking for asylum or b) looking for work - hardly bad things, are they?
