09.18 Sticky bottle... Boris and his Corrupt Con Party are the worst shower of politicians the Uk has had in living memory , you lot voted them in.
Enjoy... you will get over it eventually ... I think

I take exception to the fact that you accused me of voting
It is not something I have ever partaken in
Was hoping my Billy Connolly post might have given you a clue
But it is good that you confirmed that you live in the uk
My guess is east midlands
Am I right ?

Tongue in cheek - it's a good job Christopher Columbus wasn't turned back!

//The evidence of 1000 immigrants in a day claim//

...is in almost every newspaper and on all the usual media outlets, helen. I'm not going to provide links for you.

[Redhelen72]

I didn’t ask you too I asked the OP to as they made the claim

[AuntPG]

The government is not doing anything because some of the illegal immigrants are now working in care homes as revealed yesterday on news at one.

[dave50]

Yes Helen it's in all the media outlets

[New Judge]

I don't think dave "made a claim". He was simply commenting on something which is widely in the news. I don't think the facts are under dispute.

'The government is not doing anything because some of the illegal immigrants are now working in care homes as revealed yesterday on news at one'

You can't seriously believe that, surely?

[Khandro]

One 'can’t help observing the diplomatic crisis currently playing out on the Poland/Belarus border this week bears more than a few similarities with Britain’s own illegal migrant crisis. Lukashenko has been accused of deliberately funnelling migrants through Belarus to destabilise EU nations in revenge for sanctions, something he denies. The EU is now considering sanctions against Belarus, despite Lukashenko’s actions bearing a resemblance to Macron’s wilful blindness when it comes to allowing migrants to flow across the channel every day. Yesterday Belarus even threatened to cut off their neighbour’s energy supply – mirroring Macron’s minister’s own electricity supply threat to Britain last month', It seems the EU is starting to be critical of the odious Lukashenko, but not the equally so, Macron

//...some of the illegal immigrants are now working in care homes as revealed yesterday on news at one.//

So presumably the care home did not check their "right to work" then?

[AuntPG]

Zacs, Yesterday on news at one they interviewed a chairman of a charity that helps foreign workers ( non EU) to get jobs over here as carers . She admitted that many would not be able to prove they had had the two jabs, even though the charity provided that service, because the proof had to go through the NHS 'passport' app and many of the workers had no 'papers'. The person Interviewing her asked it she was suggesting there were people working in the care system who were here illegally and she said 'yes absolutely'. I think she would know.

[AuntPG]

NJ I suggest you go try to find the Interview and listen for yourself. The Interview was about lack of care workers and the CEO of the charity implied some homes and most private employers were 'turning a blind eye' because they could not otherwise get staff.

[Zacs-Master]

'The person Interviewing her asked it she was suggesting there were people working in the care system who were here illegally and she said 'yes absolutely'. I think she would know.'

I'm sure she would but extrapolating that to mean the Govt aren't doing anything about illegal immigration because of it is clearly nuts.

[AuntPG]

............. yes Zacs I'm completely nuts. I wasn't before I started to visit AB though.

Whatever you think of Macron, comparing the situation between France and the UK - which I agree is shameful - and that between Russia/Belaris and Poland/Lithuania/Latica is bonkers.
The energy blackmail issue is a very real danger,, and is of another order than Macron's daft electricity nonsense.
Russia has run down its gas supplies to W Europe, a large factor in the current price hikes in fact probably the lajor one, has threatened Moldova, and off supplies to Ukraine, which is getting its supply from the west, ironically much of it Russian via a roundabout route and also threatened Serbia and Bulgaria (the latter has been a good boy and doffed the hat to Puin so their crisis has for now passed :-) )
That's before you conside the threat of invasion of Ukraine and their support for Bosnian Serb calls for their own army of Republika Srpska ...

[Hedm]

Drain the channel, then they’ll have to walk. They won’t be so keen then…

[jno]

bring back Doggerland, Hedm.

Of course that's probably the way most ABers' ancestors got here in the first place, thanks to lax immigration procedures.

[ichkeria]

Drain the channel and create a land border?
Can’t see that going down too well :-)
