There were 39 of us on the barge, from different countries. We are people escaping torture, persecution and imprisonment.
What, in France? Oh, please!
We were forced to leave our homes, our jobs and our families, and we hoped to find safety in the UK.
You had safety in France. You left it.
When we were told we would be moved to the Bibby Stockholm, we became worried, not least because we were warned it was dangerous. However, we are law-abiding and wanted to respect the decision of the authorities.
If you were law abiding, you'd have followed our immigration laws. But you didn't, did you?
On board, although none of us are criminals, we were constrained by the tight security, and we felt far removed from normal life.
You are all criminal. That's the reason for your removal from normal life.
The government is putting us against the public, by saying this is your taxpayers’ money being wasted on asylum seekers.
I think you'll find that the public is fully in agreement with the government, for once.
We feel as if we are being hunted by the Home Office, when all we want now is a system that treats us fairly, a swift interview, a stable future and a voice.
And if that 'swift interview' doesn't grant you the future you want? What then? You'll give up trying to enter the UK illegally?
Yeah, sure.
They had jobs??

Tories, Labour or LibDems, we are screwed.
Sadly, I fear you're right.

As the saying goes, a leopard never changes its spots. But for commies, the issue isn't the issue, as Saul Alinsky wrote in Rules for Radicals.

What particularly disgusts me about the creatures from the black lagoon, they were among the first to broadcast the revelations from Julian Assange, only to drop him like a hot brick once they realised the states of both the UK and the US had him in their sights.
Oh yes! The 'truth' they want is what they themselves have agreed is truth.
Delete"Far removed from normal life" Whose definition of normal? Yours where misogyny reigns supreme and you can do as you like with girls/women because camels are higher up in the chain of respect? Or ours?
ReplyDeleteAs Doonhamer said … they abandoned their families.
ReplyDeleteExactly! Who does that?
