You're missing the point, k38. So what if the French allow the immigrants to leave France? The problem lies with us making this country overwhelmingly the most attractive place for the immigrants to get to.

"...One thing Ive decided is that wherever the bottom is we cant be far off it...."

I once did some work in the early 2000's for a family who had a trust fund mainly made up of 64,000 LLOY.L shares - they enjoyed a substantial dividend income. The shares were around seven pounds fifty pence at the time. And as they fell they said "...wherever the bottom is we cant be far off it.".

The EU's largest economy is preparing for an economic downturn as credit rating agency Fitch warned the creditworthiness of banks in Germany could soon be downgraded. This would prove a major blow to Germany as lenders could be less likely to provide German banks with funding....Daily Express

Thats the spirit mitchy. One thing Ive decided is that wherever the bottom is we cant be far off it. Whenever another bit of duff news holes us (and no doubt there will be plenty to come) we dont tend to sink too much and it doesnt seem to be too long before we float back up a tad. Seems to be the same with most of my stocks.They are constantly rising and falling. There has to become a point at which even the liquidators see some value. Doesnt there ??? We just got to sit this out imo. Selling
for most of my stocks is not a good option for me at the mo.
Loving the test having weather problems. They thought it was just in Manchester. Been beatuiful here.

France wants to get rid of them "low class " immigrants and they do allow them to leave France for UK. Thesame game with Turkey and Greece. Turks never try to stop immigration to Europe even it's get paid billions to hold them back.

[k38] 14/8/2020 21:30

So, are you saying no European army taking part in wars abroad, the main reason to immigration.. is that what you saying?...Germany, France and others major powers are blood firstly.. Wars and corruption are the main reasons for immigration and EU plays a big role....

[cheshire pete] 14/8/2020 21:13

Hello....anyone stupid or naive enough to go abroad during a global pandemic deserves no sympathy. Pull up the drawbridges Boris, chances are they're remainers who love the EU and hate the idea of a post brexit UK anyway so why would we want them back. Health warning: believe in the lefty media claims about UK worst COVID record at your peril.

I've never doubted it Min.

Turning off the tap has always been the solution.

[minerve 2] 14/8/2020 20:32

So there you have it!

maxk has just admitted immigration is a U.K. problem, nothing to do with the EU.

[maxk] 14/8/2020 19:57

Who can disagree with freddie or Joe's posts?

[joe say] 14/8/2020 19:39

Bojo is too dim to find a solution He's been nothing short of a disappointment

Calais Mayor Tells Boris to ‘Calm Down’, Claims Illegal Migration Is UK’s Fault


The Mayor of Calais has said that Boris Johnson should “calm down” about illegal boat migrants crossing the English Channel from France.

Natacha Bouchart — who recently said that the United Kingdom sending the Royal Navy into the Channel to solve the crisis would be a “declaration of maritime war” — also claimed the migrant crisis was Britain’s fault.

“If the migrants want to cross [the Channel], it is because the British themselves put out the call. They have done so by failing to touch their legislation for 20 years,” Ms Bouchart told AFPTV on Thursday, according to The Guardian.

“Therefore I appeal to Boris Johnson, saying you urgently need to calm down, and urgently need to change your methods of … dealing with migrants,” the regional mayor added.

She also told France’s interior minister Gérald Darmanin, who is in current talks with his British counterpart Priti Patel to come to a solution to the crisis, not to “give in” — because the “British don’t know how to negotiate”.

“It’s only by standing firm that you achieve something,” she said.

Bouchart is not the only French politician to claim that the increase in boat landings — 4,198 at the latest official count this year — is the fault of the British.

Deputy mayor of Calais Philippe Mignonet told La Voix du Nord on Tuesday in comments reported by The Times: “I fear a tragedy one day, but the British blame us for their own hypocrisy.”

Mr Mignonet added that one of the reasons migrants want to come to the United Kingdom is because it is easy to find employment there, as “they can work in the black economy when they want, because there is no control, not on the street or in the workplace”.

President of the National Society for Rescue at Sea in Calais, Bernard Barron, also suggested Britain should “criticise themselves” and question “the reasons that make their country so attractive” to Third World migrants.

The remarks could be interpreted as a criticism of Britain’s generous welfare and asylum systems, and how they compare to France.

Migrants waiting to cross the Channel have reportedly claimed that it can take years for French authorities to process their claims for financial benefits and access to health care is restricted.

While in the United Kingdom, illegals and asylum seekers can apply immediately for financial and housing assistance even if their asylum claims have not been processed. They also have immediate access to health care and education for their school-aged children.

The French have been criticised for failing to take illegal migration seriously, with the British defence committee chairman Tobias Ellwood accusing French authorities of “half-heartedness”.

“The French are unable to cope at the best of times.

“In normal circumstances, the French are only preventing around half of the dinghies crossing the Channel – but during the current spike that’s dropped to a fifth, so it’s clear that only with greater maritime collaboration with the British can we attempt to significantly reduce the success rate of the crossing,” Mr Ellwood told The Telegraph on Tuesday.

Since 2015, London has sent Paris over £100 million to stop the migrants, yet reports have revealed in recent days that the French are seeking £30 million more as the British struggle to stop the current flow.

Not only have French authorities been accused of taking a half-hearted approach to policing their borders, but of actively aiding illegals.

Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage revealed the French Navy has been escorting migrant boats into British territorial waters.

Last year, people-smugglers claimed that French police are telling them when it is best to set sail to avoid UK Border Force patrols.

Stanley Johnson wasn't on holiday in France obviously.

Maybe he (or Cummings) could tell us where they're going in future so we can all avoid the risk?

1982 Utricky


Lyrics To - Scotland 1982 World Cup Squad 'We Have A Dream'
(Spoken)
I awoke in the night with a fever and the sky was the darkest blue and a still voice was calling to me
"your country is needing you" Aye just like that.
and away in the distance i can just make out this ball, coming in from the left,and i'm starting to run,
to run like hell and the voices are getting louder and louder and louder, crying, "Hey big yin, gaun yersel'"

(Sung)

I have a dream (we have a dream)
If dreams come true (If dreams come true)
then bonny Scotland (then bonny Scotland)
I will play for you. (we'll play for you)
Now i hope and i pray (we hope and pray)
that if, if I do (that if we do)
Then bonny Scotland we'll play for you

(spoken)

Now the next thing I know, someones gaun and tripped me and i've fallen just inside the box (thats a penalty)
Now ref he loks to his linesman and he's pointing right at the spot! (thats brilliant)
Now John Robertson, who normally takes them, is handing the ball to me (you dont say)
and then i hear ma old lady screamin' blue murder, shes saying, "thats no the ball yer kickin' ya eejit, its me!"

(sung)

I have a dream (we have a dream)
If dreams come true (If dreams come true)
then bonny Scotland (then bonny Scotland)
I will play for you. (we'll play for you)
Now i hope and i pray (we hope and pray)
that if, if I do (that if we do)
Then bonny Scotland we'll play for you

we have a dream,
If dreams come true,
then bonny Scotland,
we'll play for you.
We hope and pray (we hope and pray)
that if we do (that if we do)
Then bonny Scotland we'll play for you

Fool them for going abroad, and the rest.
