What about the FACT that people risks their lives to get here, daily? (after passing through dozens of non war torn countries).

Why hundreds of thousands of Europeans moved here in the last 15/20 years where there's nothing wrong with their countries as far as conflict goes?

Clarissa Ward - well done for dressing respectfully.

Ok so firstly, to suggest I haven't spoken numerous times about the absurd levels of privilege I've enjoyed, shows that you're making sh1t up.

I hate to break this to you, but we are way down the list of numbers of refugees and asylum seekers we accept compared to our nearest neighbours - a FACT.

Here's what you don't understand - being in the EU afforded us free movement to also go to other european countries to work and live and we took advantage of that too, but we've killed that now, so your rights have been taken away from you, because the far right gets mad about people coming here. It's also weird, because when British people move abroad they are ex-pats of course, but people coming here under the same rules are immigrants. These are the subtleties that you don't seem to grasp, and that's why the racist propaganda has left us with worker shortages, leading to future potential food shortages.

We've cut our foreign aid budget, and we're making it illegal to rescue asylum seekers dumped in the channel.

I don't moan for my privilege, because my privilege remains the same regardless of who resides in number 10, I moan about the injustices for the poor, for the homeless, and for the people we've displaced over decades.

Biden overturned or changed many policies set up by Trump; he is the President NOW. There could have been attempted negotiations, he could have extended the withdrawal time. He didn’t want to....he was agog for the troops to leave long before Trump set anything up - and to hell with the horrendous treatment of women and young girls, deprived of their educational achievements and treated like non - entities and sex objects.

Yes, awful images; and that reminded me too of the terrible images of those poor people jumping to their deaths from the twin towers in 9/11.
It's all very tragic. :sad:

USA Pentagon Meeting with Press
They now have proper Control of the Airport.

But Taliban are outside
stopping some Afghans going in.
One Reporter said passports ripped up.

The USA Military expect to start taking out Americans
and some helpers that managed to get to the airport.


The USA Military
is not able to go out and pick people up.

So if you can get to the Airport you have a chance to leave.

Doesn't stop people from traipsing through safe countries to try and get here.

And more of them traipse through safe countries to get to other safe countries. We don't know anything about these folks, so I'm not really arsed about pretend hypotheticals about the situations of each and every single asylum seeker.

My opinion is exactly the same as it was prior to you asking the question. Biden has acted appallingly throughout this, but Trump set this into an unstoppable train by releasing the Taliban leaders in 2018, and making agreements with them.

I don't blame Biden for Trumps actions, and I don't blame Trump for Biden's actions. Pretty simple, really.

I'm not interested in every individual one either, just the illegal immigrants trying to cross the channel.

Arriving in a country to claim asylum is not illegal under international law. It's up to their asylum claims to decides whether they are asylum seekers or immigrants, not internet racists.

A Female Reporter
asked the Taliban about Women.

He said yes they have the right to Work
but under our laws.

arista 17-08-2021 03:18 PM

The Taliban say one question each.
So all get a chance.


An American asked 2
he asked about a missing Monk.

The Taliban said they have no info on the missing person
at this time.

It was always going to happen - it is HOW it happened and who was in charge when it DID that is relevant. Bringing Trump up every time you mention Biden's actions is just a diversionary tactic.
