Small boat arrivals at Gosport tonight - huge police motorcade

[PassMeTheInternet]

This is the police escort for the latest small boat arrivals at Gosport tonight.

What on earth is going on with this country?

I don’t know how to link a video from Twitter. The videos show the full extent of the operation.

Can you clarify who you are calling stupid?

No and that’s why I’m very lucky to be born this country like a lottery. That’s why i can understand and empathise why you want to make the horrific trip for a better life and better treatment for your sisters and daughters. I think the minority would make that trip purely to carry on as they were, why bother?

Do you not know how many young people are currently unemployed? Including doctors?

I dont think anyone particularly wants asylum seekers crossing the channel in small boats. Its not a positive thing for anyone unless you are a people trafficker

The disagreement comes as to what you do about it once they are in the sea, and whether you let them drown.

??? I don't think anyone's suggesting we take all of anybody. All aren't seeking asylum for a start.

That doesn't change the fact that those who reach our shore are legally entitled to apply (we can always say no, or change the law).

Maybe less vomiting stats and more engaging your brain?

Exactly! I mean, it's what we're commenting on, you'd think there was some basic knowledge 😕

Oh come on, seriously? You’re doing some mental gymnastics there. The police are there because masked vigilantes in black are causing social unrest. Get yourself some education, the problems in our country are not caused by migration. What we are seeing is the result of instability in the global economy, war, climate change, Brexit, amongst other factors. It’s just too easy to blame the outsider, you need to allow some complexity.

God, this thread is depressing. I used to wonder how on earth the German people could be persuaded to put people into ovens. Now I'm not so sure that some people in this country wouldn't cheer it. 'Let them drown' indeed.

Er becuase they are economic migrants?? Women's rights is probably not the priority for them. Hence we see the symbol of Women's oppression, thrown off by the desperate women of Iran, proliferate round the country.

Oh don't be so melodramatic. People just want border control and some idea of who is coming in. Like most civilised countries.

What do you suggest they should have done instead? Throw them overboard and let them drown?

Having your child chant 'Let them drown' is civilised is it?

@Slightyamusedandsilly - could you clarify? did you mean that anyone who opposes illegal immigration is a Nazi, or do you mean that people who prevent the RNLI from rescuing people from drowning are Nazis?

Stop the protesters; the migrants still come

Stop the migrants; the protesters stop.

Cause and effect

Tell you what, there is one good thing about this recent wave of facebook, insta and TikTok racism…. When you’re looking for tradies, it’s brilliant to be able to check so easily if they’re likely to be shit/ hard of thinking.

Props to my brilliant roofer who counters this nonsense online. And who was skilled, considerate and consciencous worker who did a great job.

The plasterer I’ve previously used is never coming back - he was a bit lumpy anyway, and the chimney sweep can get to fuck. FAFO.

It’s only confusing if you don’t understand the difference between

mostly
overwhelmingly
almost all

and

all

I've been thinking the same lately too (in that it's now sadly easy to see how people turned a blind eye/pretended atrocities weren't happening/or cheered them on and agreed with them.)
Dehumanising people leads to what we're seeing now.

Yeah you don't live in the north East. No push-overs here. Or not many Ive noticed. Your pipes would stay well blocked

But why use 'danger to women and girls' and 'grooming and rape' in a post mocking the EDL and their supporters and calling them 'Bingo Card' words.

By all means mock the EDL if you want but don't use horrific crimes against women in your mockery.

3 or 4 bullshit bingos in one post!

Not long till I can call house.

You really do need to do some reading.

Hilter didn't just "attack" them, he set out to systematically exterminate them. It wasn't an act of war, it was a preplanned genocide.

If you want drag Hitler into your arguments then try some historical accuracy.

Successive governments ignoring the wishes of its people and putting them under immense strain will tend to do that.

I don't know what you expect to happen to these people who were reportedly at sea for around 30 hours, on an inflatable not deemed safe to withstand much more? Turn them around and leave them to their fate...i.e, let them capsize and drown? Stopping boats from leaving is not the same as preventing a boat from landing. Recent protests have made this level of police action necessary. It's not difficult to understand. Human lives are at stake, sorry if some people can't see this.

I'd ban all protests for any reason. I'm a bit like China on that.

Omg are you actually trying to teach someone on MN about how the Holocaust happened. Classic.

You've missed my point. Due to your obsession with drawing parallels with the Nazis. It happens. There's a name.for it.
