Lack of parking killed High Road retail.

Covid didn't just kill the Radio Star, it killed the High Road Retail, so 000s of immigrants now deliver our Amazon products.

  Where does it say they are all refugees   ?   Don't read Emma's post,you may wonder how she got to over 1000 😁

"Yeah, you've seen those videos in Paris the last couple of days, I take it.And don't tell me they are legit PSG fans." ?

Dave Mannisa ● 22d

Yes, that is a very interesting documentary…and worrying…was surprised it got through the BBC filters…Sweden has a big problem…and Norway clearly doesn’t want to follow suit! That said, W4 seems to need 1000s of male migrants to deliver their fast food…wish more folk would walk!

Emma Elizabeth ● 22d

Yet again, all your words, not mine.I did not even say I saw all the footage, or that they were all refugees rioting."Next you'll be saying that all of the idiots trying to burn hotels down around the UK were refugees." Don't be stupid

Julian Pavey ● 23d

True, but at least I was being sarcastic.You should sell this incredible technology you seemingly have to the government, by the way. How you have seen all the footage from the Paris riots, and then determined that all of the rioting was committed by refugees is impressive.Next you'll be saying that all of the idiots trying to burn hotels down around the UK were refugees.

Dave Mannisa ● 23d

"Every person involved in the Paris rioting was a refugee" Every person? Your words, not mine.

Julian Pavey ● 23d

Of course, Julian, that makes sense now. Every person involved in the Paris rioting was a refugee. All the French born people had nothing whatsoever to do with it.And there I was thinking that crimes CAN be committed by Brits in Britain. Will remember that for the future. Thanks.

Fascinating watching Simon Reeves on Scandinavia last night.Norway has a wonderful solution to the threat to national security posed by illegal immigrants.If you're interested the programme can be enjoyed on IPlayer

If Starmer had the balls he would strike a quid pro quo with France- he would say "If you stop the boats we will allow you to fish within a half mile of our waters" (part of the recent reset).But that is never going to happen under this PM.

Denis I. Fox ● 23d

“If we were only more empathetic and understanding “We HAVE been empathetic and understanding, hence we have welcomed up to a million immigrants a year. Sweden was just as empathetic and understanding as we are and now they are in crisis because of the lack of integration and the high levels of crime by immigrants. The economic impact, and the strain on public services has caused them to clamp down hard yet we just open our doors to people who have no intention of contributing to our welfare and wellbeing. It’s madness.

Steve Taylor ● 23d

Nearly every post you put up has Farage or GB News etc in them."If we were only more empathetic and understanding of the desperation of people who risk their lives trying to flee war and man-made disasters"Yeah, you've seen those videos in Paris the last couple of days, I take it.And don't tell me they are legit PSG fans.

'When we have had a huge influx of refugees in the past during war times, so many have enriched the country.'We might like to think we were a welcoming country in the past, but increasingly restrictive legislation was repeatedly passed, from the 1905 Aliens Act, through successive Immigrations Acts, to stop people coming here.We know that by the outbreak of World War II, about half a million European Jews tried to come to England to escape the Nazis but only about 70,000, including almost 10,000 children, were granted entry.  We might well celebrate the 'kindertransport' initiative, but there was little corresponding 'grown-up transport' for Jewish adults to come to the UK, with tragic consequences for so many.

If we were only more empathetic and understanding of the desperation of people who risk their lives trying to flee war and man-made disasters.When we have had a huge influx of refugees in the past during war times, so many have enriched the country.If / when a wider war involving more European nations does occur, you'd hope that the countries we try to flee to will show more understanding than what Farage and his fascist fans currently show.

Dave Mannisa ● 23d

You keep going on about the Rwanda scheme this would have allowed for 500 per year twice that number came on Saturday. "Rishi"and Co.let this matter drag on for years  I am willing to give Starmer more than ten months to get this under control.

David Burke ● 23d

Yes Rishi was also paying the French (a helluva lot less than Starmer is now paying) but Rishi was astute enough to know that it was a waste of money because it wasn’t working. Hence the Rwanda scheme was devised and would have deterred thousands from crossing the channel knowing they would be whisked off to Rwanda immediately. Now Starmer has welcomed well over 1000 illegals in a day. This is BIG business for the smuggling gangs who are fully aware that Starmer has no hope of smashing them. They will continue to bring people over here with total impunity.

Steve Taylor ● 23d

Oui

Janice Evans ● 23d

Les gangs, c'est nous.

Richard Greenhough ● 23d

Rishi was also paying the French.

Janice Evans ● 23d

How can Starmer, Reeves and Cooper justify paying £millions of taxpayers’ money to the French if they are still allowing over a thousand illegals a day to leave French shores to cross the Channel. It’s disgraceful.

Steve Taylor ● 23d

They voted for the other lot, they had their chance and its called the Boris Wave

Davy Jones ● 23d

The Tories totally had a grip on it with the Rwanda scheme. The problem is that the voting public didn’t give them a chance to prove it.

Steve Taylor ● 24d

Whatever they are doing or what you think of it,Labour don't seem to have any mre of a grip on this than the Tories had.If they think they can reassure the public with 'Stop the Boats' or 'Smash the Gangs'sloganising, here's one for them 'Get a Grip'.

Keith Iddon ● 24d

The thing is just because it would be a wonderful deterrent for you doesn't mean it will be a wonderful deterrent for someone who has already crossed half way across the world, speaks the language and very likely also has real practical experience and skills and greater enthusiasm than many people already here to use their often greater qualifications to make a success of their lives. I do agree that we have lost a great workforce from the EU and opportunities for our children working across the UK.  When we were in the EU the Dublin Regulation legislated that  applications for asylum were the responsibility of the first country of entry into the EU. With Brexit we lost that.

Philippa Bond ● 24d

It’s extremely naive to think that the tens of thousands of ‘boat people’ are going to seek asylum. Half  of them will slip into the black economy and a life of crime.  The Rwanda scheme was a perfect deterrent. Starmer has stuffed up big time.

Steve Taylor ● 24d

Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper, who held up a placard for the TV audience stating "Migrants welcome Here" never had any intention of stalling the incessant flow of boats.Having scrapped our Rwanda deterrent, this government throws millions of pounds at the French Border Force, presumably  to prevent crossings, but are proven to be utterly useless.This lack of border control may soon call for a national emergency; this plus other well documented failings (Winter Fuel Allowance stoppage, Net zero, Farmers inheritance, Employers insurance, Chagos giveaway) could bring about a change of regime well before Labour's present 5 year term of office.

Denis I. Fox ● 24d

There are plenty of hotel rooms as the companies are only too pleased to clear out any passing trade and block book them to the government. The quicker the Home Office processes asylum seekers, the quicker those rejected can be returned to wherever and those accepted can be integrated and start earning a living and paying their way.

Peter Evans ● 24d

You're going to house some then.Because we don't have enough hotel rooms, and we have nearly 2 million UK residents on the waiting list. Around 80% have been on the waiting list for over 3 years.Councils have all done what they can in resettling, but it's dried up.

Julian Pavey ● 24d

…in search of refuge on our welcoming shores. You ‘stop the gangs’ by providing alternative legal routes. A fleet of official coaches would solve it overnight!
