Let Them All In - Comrade Corbyn

[youngmafbog]

Jeremy Corbyn demands the Home Office loosen up the rules so ANYONE who can claim a connection to Britain can get in

Going to be a vote winner that one - perhaps he is trying to get shedloads in so he gets a vote !!

He doesn't live in the real world does he.

Try reading the WHOLE article, rather that cherry-picking the bit which you can then inflame into suiting your own bigotry.

//Mr Corbyn said he had been 'surprised' by how many people at the camp he had met who held British passports//

Of course and he carried a passport scanner with him to ensure they hadn't been bought from a shuft mufti that fell off the back of a camel!!

[maggiebee]

You're fighting a losing battle Canary!

[webbo3]

I expect there are plenty of Germans and Greeks who might be able claim a connection to our royal family.

Seen that and other clips, and dont you just love all the smiley faces in the pics as they all go on the rampage, seems like a good laugh out there, hardly the gloom doom and misery some would have us believe...

Yes, if you actually read the article it turns out that the headline, for the umpteenth time, is (deliberately) misleading?
Many (most?) people don't read further than the large print, or if they do have maybe got so worked up that they don't take it in.
Unfortunately, the OP is also worded so as to suggest that JC means absolutely anyone in the world. So while one might not still agree with what Corbyn actually said, it has even less chance of getting picked up in all the noise

Interesting article - thank you.

"The Labour leader, who visited 'The Jungle' on Saturday on a tour of Northern France, said the 9,000 people camped in Calais and Dunkirk should be given homes by European countries." - bang on Jezza why not start where they are now and work backwards through the countries they have passed through. The rules of the beloved EU are quiet clear, apply them eh.

[retrocop]

As some of us are regularly told here the Site Rules are there to see and be obeyed.
If the Home Office have not given entry rights or a UK passport to family members of those who have got UK passports then either they were never eligible or didn't bother to apply in the first place.If those are the rules then they have to be applied as some do here vigourously.
If those family members in the jungle are true refugees then all they need do is present themselves to the Italian/German /French Asylum bureaus and justify their status as refugees.That way they are given a EEC passport from the issuing country and can hop on to a ferry at Calais,providing their friends let them, to Dover.
They do not wish to do it the legitimate way though. Why????

/// Any migrants camped in squalid conditions in
Calais ///

I thought all the squalid living conditions were bulldozed last Thursday, and the poor migrants moved into heated container housing?

[whiskeryron]

The immigration situation could be solved easily, let them all settle here in Bradford & Birmingham & at the same time all the disillusioned Brits should be offered at government expense homes in warm climates where it rains less & should be given grants to start them off in a new life. Jobs would be provided for all who wished to work & generous provision for those who did not want to work. This utopia would be called New Britain & Mr Corbyn offered Prime Minister status to commence immediately.

You do realise that the article was in that 'hate-filled newspaper' that mikey4444 is always referring to?

[anotheoldgit]

Perhaps we should grab our Empire back, there was enough warm and dry countries amongst that lot?

Then when all our guests rush back to their countries to join us, we could then return back to good old blighty and scrap all dual national pass ports.

[Mamyalynne]

I am not sure why it matters where an article is published - if it is interesting in context then it is - also unsure why Mikey's opinions of a particular press outlet should impact on what I may or may not find interesting.

/// I am not sure why it matters where an article is published - if it is interesting in context then it is ///

Absolutely agree with you Mam, but if it was left to mikey and some other fascists on here, we wouldn't be allowed to read what the Daily Mail publishes.

[ichkeria]

An obvious issue might be that it would, in many cases, be impossible to know whether any of the Calais people had British connections or not?
