Right now we have the usual virtue signalling, lefty twaddle. Some bad man threw a petrol bomb at an immigration detention centre, then killed himself.
I can understand the feeling of desperation that brings a person to do such a thing.
The government is now storing up a huge feeling of anti-immigration resentment in the population.
Outside of the immigrant bubble, people are genuinely struggling. People outside that bubble are regularly denied support.
Immigrants get pocket money regardless if they are able to work or not. Normal citizens have to prove they are actively seeking work to receive benefits.
Immigrants receive free NHS dental treatment. Normal citizens don't get free NHS dental treatment.
Immigrants are automatically housed in a reception centre or a hotel. Normal citizens are denied free housing. Otherwise there wouldn't be so many homeless on the streets.
The immigrants expect to be housed and fed and cause trouble when they aren't. The sense of entitlement is palpable. Just get across the channel and they will supply everything for you.
These double standards have to stop before there are serious incidents. The incident at the weekend is only the first of many as ordinary citizens are denied access to services and housing.
Had the UK the money and resources to give all their citizens free housing, supply them with free health and dental, and give them some pocket money on top, then I'd have no issue with extending that umbrella to immigrants.
But we are not the land of milk and honey. Our resources are not infinite. Our own citizens are homeless and in poverty. Yet we still allow immigrants in at a rising cost of currently several billions of pounds a year.
I've lost all sympathy with the government, the do gooders and the immigrants themselves.
Enough is enough. We cannot and should not be held to ransom by the traffickers.
We should not be expected to house immigrants at huge cost. Especially if they are coming from a safe country. We should not be expected to house them simply because they prefer to live here.
They have other safe options, they passed through several safe options. The rules need to be changed to reflect that in their status and the expectation to house them.
If they come through safe countries, then they are not refugees. They are not escaping persecution. They did that when they landed in Greece. They did that when they travelled through Italy, Austria and France.
Put them under armed guard, load them on a landing craft and drop them back on the beaches of France.
If the French get uppity, arrest the Captains of the coastguard vessels for trafficking.
I don't care if the vessel is in French waters. It is trafficking. I don't care if the people in the dinghy have family here, I don't care if we are seen as an international pariah.
I. Don't. Care.
