That's £1,715,500,000 a year folks!

Good on the UK government for being so generous to desperate people!

Where are they getting the money from?

The govt are good at giving away taxpayers money to foreigners and illegal immigrants...


Mass immigration is ruining this country!

Haha...give 'em the land, as tommy says the Ukrainians should do for the Russians. They could have Dover, or perhaps a bit of the Lake District. Gd luck on 'em.

Give em a one way ticket back to where they came from!

Wassamatter, tommy?  You don't like the Russian solution?  Let 'em have the real estate, whydontcha?  They speak a different language.  What's wrong with an Afghani enclave in Kent?  Think of the restaurants within a hour's drive of London!

There is nothing left of the towns and cities from whence they came.

Rubbish!


Huge proportion of them are from sub Saharan Africa and not fleeing any war or persecution, and have plenty of safe countries over there to choose to go, if they want... But they don't get all the handouts there that they get here.


Those coming from Iraq should stay there... Been safe there for years.


Most of the Syrians are ISIS and not only caused their own destruction in Syria by their barbaric behaviour against humanity... But are also a danger to the British public!


Also... Those who arrive here are coming from France after having travelled through numerous safe countries already!!!


And huge numbers of them have already had asylum claims refused because they are bogus!!!


We don't want them here!!!


And until we start getting tough and sending them back and letting them know that the game is up etc, then more and more will just keep coming too!!!


Enough is enough!!!

Tommy, you're an abject racist. You begrudge someone room & board because of his skin color, but because Russians are white, you say give 'em the whole, fuggin' country!

The only thing consistent about you is skin color. You divide the whole world by color.

It's not about 'begrudging room & board"... It's about illegal immigrants trying to blag their way into our country by abusing the asylum rules!!!

And I don't care what colour any of these cheating fuk wits are... They can all fuck off with equal measure!!!

Yet you're OK if the white-on-white Russians do it. This is where you get your reputation, tommy. You are a racist.

You don't care? Yet you are altogether too quick to respond. You're caught in a web of your own doing, tom.

I don't know what you're talking about with your white Russian accusations...


You appear to be accusing me of saying things that you've made up in your head!

No.  Follow my mark, tom:

1.  You're on record, hundreds of times, saying that you don't like foreigners from the Near East and African countries coming into your predominately white, Anglo-Saxon, predominately protestant country and [as you say] taking advantage of the benefits.  Now, people from the Near East and Africa are people of color.

2.  But, suddenly, you surprise us all by approving of foreigners from Russia coming into Ukraine, wantonly killing, and taking whatever they want - including the real estate.  And lo, people from Russia are demonstrably white, and though not protestant, also predominately non-Catholic.

3.  Ergo, all other factors being equal, I surmise that you are prejudiced against people of color.  The evidence is empirical - meaning it's origin is outside of my head.  The only thing that's in my head is my conclusion...for which there is ample evidence.

Yes, you made up point 2... I don't approve at all... And I know you can't provide any evidence of me saying I approve.


So your leap to point 3 is also pure fabrication on your part!!!

Tommy Monk wrote:Yes, you made up point 2... I don't approve at all... And I know you can't provide any evidence of me saying I approve.

Ah-ha, so you've changed your mind.  I'm glad that you have done so, as no one in their right mind with side with Vladimir Putin and his belligerent invasion of Ukraine.  You might as well side with Hitler.  Whatever your first thoughts, I'm glad you've come to your senses...and I'm glad I was able to help you.

Tommy Monk wrote:So your leap to point 3 is also pure fabrication on your part!!!

Let's just say it's unnecessary, now that you've changed your mind.

Tom, this is the way that rational debate is supposed to work.  However impetuous or wrongheaded your first thoughts were, as long as you get onto the reasonable track eventually...everyone is happy.

Now, our work is not done. We've got to work on being a little more tolerant toward those people of color from the Near East and African nations, who justifiably seek asylum in our democratic and open nations.

I haven't changed my mind at all!!!


And your special favourite black/brown people can stay where they are and improve their own countries from within... Or can go to one of the many of their safe neighbouring countries if they have any genuine need to seek refuge somewhere...


No more here!!!

Oh, you're really scared, aren't you? Poor little fella.

Is there even any truth to this story? I mean, apart from a news headline intent on riling people up?

Not scared... Just very concerned...


And yes, this story in op is true!


But don't worry... It's only taxpayers money...

Tommy Monk wrote:And yes, this story in op is true!

Prove it.

It's always easy to be generous with other people's money, and it's never an act of nobility is it?

What's noble is how you spend your resources, not those confiscated from others.
