Yes of course.Brian Peacock wrote:So, putting yourself into the position of an asylum-seeker: if a relative was already living in a country, perhaps even working, as an engineer or a labourer or whatever, wouldn't it make sense to try to get to them even if that country wasn't necessarily the closest? Wouldn't you rather be with people who could show you the ropes, someone you could trust to help you navigate a strange culture, to help with the language, accessing healthcare, or employment or educational resources, etc? Wouldn't you feel safer, more secure, somewhere with an established ex-pat community?
I don't blame them for trying. I would do the same.
They don't owe me anything. I blame Cameron for letting them in. When he promised he wouldn't. And I blame Corbyn for letting even more in. If he got the chance.
The place is full, and Brits are getting shit wages for unskilled jobs, IF they can get one, and paying silly money for a roof over their heads. All because of the constant stream of net immigration, running at a third of a million per year.
It doesn't affect me in the slightest. I just feel sorry for the young British unskilled people, starting out. Their life-prospects are shite.
