Why is the BBC referring to them as migrants? They’re asylum applicants waiting for their claim to be processed.

This language is quite important… to put it lightly.

Yep. I seem to remember some serious pearl-clutching when Gary Lineker mentioned this very thing.

I remember reading, maybe 10-15 years ago, that due to various factors, there would be massive migration from Africa northwards and that there would be fuck all we could do about it.

I wish I could remember the source, but it has proved to be spot on.

The trouble is that this is a complex problem, and people (generally) want simple solutions, delivered today. And get mighty frustrated when these simple solutions don't emerge.

However, I am going to offer one long-term suggestion for amelioration. Stop bombing the fuck out of third-world countries because we don't like their leaders.

After the ULEZ revolt they must see it as a vote winner.

All the things that Reet-Smug and IDS have been campaigning for years to remove. Rishi has caved in to the right wing again.

And having got carmakers to gear up for no more internal combustion engines and build electric, they're pulling the plug on them.

We have just 'wasted' £500m on BMW then?

I'm really shocked they've gone back on their word about another policy. Highly unlike them. Imagine thinking they're serving anyone but themselves. The ultimate cunts of self preservation.
