Terrorist attack on asylum centre

I assumed it was something beginning with B related.

France don’t need to control their migration now we aren’t in some sort of Union in Europe.

Well we’re paying them extra to do something about it but they’re obviously not.

It’s another thing in a long line of wall that the government pisses our taxes up.

Perhaps if there were more legal/safe ways for people to claim asylum then there would be fewer illegal channel crossings?

Have you read any of the thread?

I’ve literally said that in the last few pages.

You’re welcome to think that but it isn’t.

I’ve been sat at home watching Sky Sports most of today whilst the weather has been shit, the Championship coverage, advertising and talking points have nearly vanished.

SSN showed a few controversial decisions from the football league but that was it.

The WSL had highlights from most games and punditry.

The Championship is one of the best leagues in the world and the WSL just isn’t, regardless of the genders that are playing.

The football league has needed more coverage for years, and now it has less.

As I said, it’s not really relevant to this topic, but I think you’re conflating two separate things there. Women’s football is not the reason that the Championship isn’t getting the coverage it perhaps deserves. Happy to carry on the conversation via PM though to prevent derailing the thread further.

You can. But if you own a newspaper and have to moderate the comments section, then it's not worth your time.

If I owned a newspaper I wouldn’t have comments sections.

It’s not worth it for the amount of cunts who now have access to the internet.

No I am happy to leave it there, it’s not as important, obviously, as the main topic of this thread.

I will just end by saying I’m not sexist.

The reason I ask is because it's common for outlets to post figures about a particular type of channel crossing in isolation, creating an impression that the increase is far greater than it is. From what I've heard, there was a huge crackdown on certain types of crossing and increases in security around cargo lorries, pushing people towards using these boats instead.

But according to this, there has been an overall increase too...

First one is applications.

Second one is successful applications.

But yeah, the increase from hundreds to tens of thousands is just in one particular method of channel crossing by the looks of things.

The crossings via boat are a bigger and more immediate issue in my opinion, due to the obvious risk of drowning.

The problem we’ve got is the criminal enterprises that are making the cash out of this are getting greedier and greedier and it’s growing.

It’s not going to stop unless the government radically change tactics.

and does what? Have you spotted a loophole they haven't?

Stop giving the French money and introduce proper infrastructure in Calais for people to be processed.

Make it easier for people to apply for asylum at the UK border.

Treat everyone who ignores that and crosses outside of process as someone to be deported and do such thing.

We’re no longer part of the Dublin Treaty, so we pay for France to do some monitoring, but they don’t have much incentive to give 100% to.

Stop paying them then I say and invest more in the border ourselves
