Yes (well I voted for my local Labour MP at the time more than Corbyn) but what does it matter? The current Prime Minister is a known liar and adulterer, this is a matter of fact and record, not an opinion. It shames me to see him elevated to the highest office in the land and represent us on the world stage because I care about the UK and believe the country is better than him. I'm optimistic that one day we'll see sense again and choose someone with integrity and honesty as our leader, be it a Labour or Conservative leader. Johnson's tenure and a lot of our domestic and foreign policy under his government won't be looked back on kindly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK takes far less refugees than the rest of a lot of Europe. Funny that you say about homeless Brits on the streets but this government voted against giving starving kids free school meals.

I name foreign policy specifically because of the announcements over the past few days of reductions in foreign aid. I'll balance it by saying that the one bit of foreign policy I did like was offering asylum to citizens of Hong Kong. I don't see why that logic applies to those asylum seekers and not others though. This thread has been derailed by British politics enough times though, which has it's own thread, so I'll leave it at that despite there being a lot more to say. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your argument about parents spending money on themselves rather than their kids is few and far between. But you're happy with millionaires lining their pockets on the back of a pandemic apparently rather than feeding those in need. There's plenty of reasons why refugees don't stop at the first safe country (language etc). Britain doesn't take anywhere near as many 'immigrants' as the Mail or the Express or the Sun or that cunt Farage will make you believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You generalise a lot, don't you? You're a very assuming individual basing any 'argument' on stereotypes. Are you telling me every single child who is perhaps below the poverty line has a single mother that has more than one child and spent her money on weed and gadgets?

Again, a whole lot of stereotypes, and not a lot of substance. I'm a housing officer for a big social housing provider. I can tell you that poverty exists, and I've been in a fuck load of houses/flats where there's not even a TV for kids to watch, let alone a big-screen TV or a top-end phone. So, first hand experience I'm enlightening you with but let me guess, you'll brush it off with some other bullshit. Also, not all people on benefits get the 'same' money. If you're on Universal Credit, it's tapered on various things. If you're on job-seekers allowance, it's only approx £70-80/w. How is someone meant to live on that? And no, not every family on benefits spends all of that on drugs, booze, iPhones etc. Expecting all people on benefits to starve is one hell of a basic way of thinking.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted May 1, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted May 1, 2021 The whole 'asylum seekers stopping in the first safe country' argument is actually insane.
