Your point, copied above, sums up our current predicament beautifully.
Thank you. What a shame that so many people fell for it!

The way you have worded that is almost suggesting the victim is acceptable collateral damage.
Watching things like police interceptors there are foreigners committing crime. Jail them then deport them, simple as that. If they run the risk of abuse or death in their own country, they should have thought about that before committing crime here. We will give you a save place but commit crime and you are out. To much pussy footing round. FWIW there is a case where I think English parents so abuse their son he lost both legs, the parent will be out of jail after only 5 years. Government is talking about making similar crimes a life term but these parents did not get the maximum sentence so making it life is "pointless"

Thank you, always happy to be corrected! However, my Big Book has it as an alternative in that a pronoun can be 'a word used as a substitute for a noun to establish or differentiate intent'. Mind you, it is a very old Big Book.

I certainly didn't intend to imply that - I don't believe that at all. And it's true that plenty of foreigners commit crimes in Britain, whatever path they took to get here - in the same way that plenty of Brits commit crimes abroad. But what I object to is the hysterical ranting by several other posters which lacks any basis in fact or reason.

And while I wish that your instant conviction/deportation combo was an option, the fact is that it's not - in the majority of cases. Another illusion of Brexit was that we would be able to make our own arrangements on this, whereas the reality is that the Government chose to lock us into the ECHR - which of course is a separate treaty and predated the EU by a number of years.

I love stereo types and on the basis of that and what fleeting sights Ive had of the ???? channel crossers and general reporting giving clues to the origin of the people they look to me to be mostly young males (14/15-30ish years old) from Syria/Northern Kurdistan/Libya likely to be more familiar with the workings of a AK47 and or RPG than be a Nuclear scientist or any other skills. Got fed up with fighting whoever or on whatever side and maybe their see their skills are numbered and its time to get out? The others are winning and we will be in a little book? They all looked strong well clothed and well fed fellows-in a fight Id back them against most Britons of today, certainly nothing like the rag clothed, starving millions of displaced persons who wandered Europe 1945- 55. So let them in? not sensible really. If anyone wants to let them in, they can give one board and bed and go bail for them but dont leave any sharp knives around. Chris.S

So are you saying I could possibly have been correct in the way I worded my response??

If that's aimed at me, I have no idea what you're on about! You appear to be attributing to me a statement by someone else.

Please don't check the facts of where they come from, because you might not enjoy realizing that your assumption is wrong! None of the countries you list is in the top three countries of origin for those arriving recently (although I would be interested to see exactly where you place the boundaries of 'Northern Kurdistan').

OK Charlie. you tell me where they come from and who told you where they come from and what evidence was produced by whoever from where ever. And you point about where is Northern Kurdistan is very relevant, Maybe Syria, Turkey and Irak could help with that point. And none of that matters- what does is I am about right in what I say. Chris,S.

Unfortunately, you're not! And rather than me pointing out the factual errors in what you have posted, why don't you do some homework before posting?
