AIBU to be deeply concerned about the sheer number of unchecked undocumented unknown men coming into the UK?

You should be. I certainly am. Ireland has changed a lot too, the social media drive to ensure that people don’t speak out, if you do, you’re an underclass racist.
I have said it before, i have neighbours and friends who were once immigrants, they’re not afraid to say that it is out of control, the men don’t have good intentions.

If you told me a boat was arriving with women from Sudan, the Congo, Afghanistan, if be there with blankets, food and support.

I don’t care if that makes me two faced.I saw two horrendous news articles where the offending person got a measly prison sentences, both attacks on teenage girls, one attempted kidnapping and the other knock out by a stranger.

A parent will kill soon. I felt an unfamiliar rage watching both incidents.

It wasn’t zero effect, voluntary movement is the cheapest way to do it and many moved to ROI.

But still, you voted for what the op linked yes?

WE never actually got a proper Brexit due to "Maybe May" not knowing what she wanted. That's why David Davis resigned as Brexit Secretary because "she used to be decisive but then she wasn't so sure". Plus hubby had some banking interests in Brussels in banking I understand.

Then perhaps you should read on.

The article they posted is almost entirely fabricated.

The French did rescue people from a boat and confirmed that some did have sunburn.
They also confirmed that someone died of a heart attack.

They have not mentioned a weapon or stabbing of any kind, let alone confirmed it.

700m for 0 effect is definitely not better than nothing.

It would have been better than nothing

You also voted for Labour. So you’ve got chaos on boats and crimes that are awful.

If you think that’s good then ok up to you, many won’t.

The problem with fruit picking, cauli cutting, tattie lifting and sprout pulling is that it's seasonal and also can be labour intensive.
And yes, you live-in in caravans.(Unless you live in the area and can travel to the site.

Potatoes - June/Oct These are lifted by machine but then collected and inspected by hand
Caulis - same time frame
Sprouts - Aug/Oct then Nov/Jan
Sept/April - Leeks
I can't write about fruit-picking because I've never lived in an area that specialised in this.

The pea harvesting process is completely mechanical

The abolition of Zero Hours Contracts stopped a lot of UK people doing this work.

"Do you prefer what we have?"

Well we voted as a country to "take back control". The Rwanda policy was an ill thought out farce and as yet no political party has a coherent policy on how this " control " works...

I’ve only read the first page and it’s more of the usual…

I don’t think @CoventryCity is the problem or enemy here!

As for the bot comment…honestly?!

The only social media I have is mumsnet.

Do you prefer what we have?

Labour scrapped it and even the threat sent people to ROI voluntarily,

If we keep getting chaos on crossings and more crimes people won’t be oh ok as you are.

I’ve only just found this!

"And then look at countries which use deterrents and see how they work."

What like the UK spending 700m ( direct and indirect costs) and deporting no one whilst illegal entries soared?

Are you on social media with algorithms? BlueSky?

three words ..................cavity wall insulation

a. not all homes suit it........the gap is there for a reason.
b. when it comes to social housing both HAs and contractors knew they were onto a winner HAs got funding Contractors got ££££££
they could pump cavity wall insulation into homes whether they were suitable for it or not knowing full well they could get away with blaming any ensuing mould on tenants knowing that would be accepted by the public because of the attitudes to SH tenants in the UK
I know a local tenant who had no problem with his bungalow until cavity wall insulation. Now its like a furnace in the summer and starting to get mould HA told him he had to have it done

People literally just talk out of their arse.

I don’t know anyone with half a brain cell who is in support of the internet algorithms because as you say they literally restrict what you see and narrow your mindset.

How can you possibly have a valid opinion on something when you are literally told what to believe and have no other information.

Where is your proof of this?

Jeez. More utter bollocks. If it is the tenants trashing the housing stock, why is the government passing laws to force social housing landlords to make their properties fit for human habitation? To ensure children don't die?

Anti-Irish
Anti-social housing tenants

What else can we add to the list?

@smallglassbottle you call it authoritarian that ‘the left’ is ‘wanting to restrict algorithms for adults’
I don’t understand. Do you know what an algorithm is? It’s a restriction. It means you get shown more and more of the stuff you already clicked on. Banning the use of algorithms would give you more information from more varied sources, not less. You would have access to a broader range of opinions. How is that authoritarian?

It’s not algorithms doing that.

Yes people die all of the time on these crossings and in migrant camps, the conditions are awful. That is common knowledge.

Not sure what that’s got to do with your original point though.

Yes it’s all hunky dory in the migrant camps and on boats as they cross. Except people seem to be dying.
