Winseer:
I didn’t actually join UKIP, but only voted for them in 2015. (I voted Tory last month)
I didn’t say you did, just you were changing the message to suit your agenda.
Winseer:
What I’m getting at is that the message supposed to attract our attention has been corrupted to look like some kind of Right-wing Bigot/Xenophobe thing when it’s not.
Even when you hear about crimes reported within the UK - it’s always the Eastern European reports that get bigged-up, whereas anything involving someone with so much as a levantine complexion - gets brushed over.
I can’t fathom why it is when we’re supposedly handing out friendship “to all comers” that our great and illustrious authorities choose to deflect all ills upon Eastern Europeans, which then makes parties like UKIP look like “Anti Immigrant Full Stop” rather than just the Anti CRIMINAL immigrants that we should only be concerned about.
Let’s get this straight: The Eastern Europeans are either working over here as “migrant workers” and/or are driving the trucks through Calais.
UKIP and their supporters made much of migrant workers from Eastern Europe coming over here, pushing wages down and sending much of their pay and child support payments back to their home countries.
and when challenged about being xenophobic by an Asian member of the audience in one of the debate shows, Nigel Farage said that controlling free movement from EU countries could mean more migrant workers being allowed in from outside the EU.
Winseer:
How many Eastern Europeans are there in “The Camp”? ‘None’ I suspect.
How many Camp occupants are making up hard-luck stories to try and get asylum somewhere? Just somewhere that’ll provide an entire lifestyle for them, financially at least.
How come they’ve passed through the rest of Europe to come HERE? Benefits not good enough elsewhere?
Why are the other EU countries actually doing nothing about all this? Bar Poland and Magyar who, instead of being helped by the wider EU - only ever get rebuked for “Swinging right” when they are just trying to find a solution to a serious European-wide crisis by this point.
If you actually traveled and talked to people in other parts of Europe, you’d find that many have the same issues with illegal immigrants and asylum seekers. The reason they don’t have a pinch point like Calais is because of the Schengen agreement and the fact that they have a land borders. and in some parts of Europe border checks have started again, despite the agreements.
Winseer:
Britain, I suspect has it’s hands tied behind it’s back all the while it continues within EU jurisdiction. It matters not even if one manages to get a government of the Right in place, as anything effective - just gets blocked by the European courts.
There were so many ways this could have been dealt with bloodlessly, and at minimal cost:
Apparently about 30,000 people actually apply for Asylum in the UK less than some other EU Countries, so either you believe only 30,000 make it here or many more make it here without registering with the government and are working illegally.
Winseer:
(1) Ban benefits for people not born here
How do you get benefits if you’re here illegally, therefore not on the system?
(2) Workers pay emergency rate taxes for the first five years (1) and (2) are not anti everyone - just common sense and in-line with points immigration systems already in place around the commonwealth. “Right Wing Policy” it ain’t then.
How do you pay tax if you’re here illegally, therefore not on the system
(3) If you are an asylum seeker running away from a “Harsh Islamic Regime” - then renounce the “Harsh Islamic Religion” upon arrival.
How do you prove they’ve renounced their religion? and isn’t religious freedom part of the British culture and way of life?
(4) Don’t bother deporting those already here, unless and until they are convicted of a crime.
Surely the problem is finding those who are here illegally first.
(5) No need to close our borders - no one will want to come with “malignant intent” - once the money stops coming their way.
So all those who want to work here, regardless of where they come from can come, totally uncontrolled provided they are here to work? Sounds a bit liberal to me.
