I've said this already this week but the only person who had the cajones to deal with the civil service was sacked in favour of the PM's soft-left missus. The control the Blairites have over the civil service is as impressive as it is terrifying.

It literally doesn't matter what government is in place.
And the church . universities and media ...
 
I watched a bbc report of migrants landing in the uk in the big dingy , mothers and children were stood on and jumped over a and left to climb out on there own holding children so the big men could get off the boat , disgraceful until asylum rules are changed we are 20 years away from becoming a minority ourself :)

Lots of migrants crossing the Channel at present. 1000 a day has been recorded.
Watching the media reporting of it and its quite clear that the vast majority are young males. My estimate 90% are.
But listening to the reports they infer that these are very vulnerable families and the camera will pick out the children who are very few and far between.
And they are always making a lot of the criminals who organise these crossings at great expense to the migrants.
It's quite obvious the French authorities are doing virtually nothing to prevent crossings.

Why are the facts being manipulated?
Very true you get bleeding heart idiots claiming these poor migrant are escaping wars famine etc except as you say 90% of them are young males in the late teens or early 20s who seem to have completely abandoned the rest of their families to their fate in the hope of a cushier life abroad for themselves, is that really the sort of callous people we want over here?

It's a strange argument.

People dont want immigrants sponging off our country, yet dont want young, working age males you would contribute to society in favour of women and children who will inevitably cost our country more?

How odd.

So women don't work ? That's a tad sexist, and are the males coming to work or scrounge ?

"In 2018, the government’s independent Migration Advisory Committee surveyed the latest evidence on productivity and immigration. A variety of studies using a variety of methods concluded that immigration was a huge boost to productivity. Indeed, the estimates of the benefits were so large that the MAC couldn’t quite believe them."

Invading armies generally send the young men first, the wives and families follow later

Legal immigration where people come to work, very different from illegal immigration, if you had a person knock on your door and ask for a job and you wanted a worker you might take them on, now if you arrived at work one day and found someone had broken in, you had no idea of their real identity and they claim they broke in do the could ask for a job would you really offer them one

I wonder if the committee looked at the differences.
PS Norman's seemed pretty productive post 1066
