If you cannot see the similarities of them to now, that's really sad.
However that's your position, obviously I cannot alter that.
The attitude and the rhetoric of Reform supporters I have absolutely no wish whatsoever to communicate with.
So now try to avoid absolutely.
However those of them who have indicated directly to myself, that the more that drown in the channel the better.
Plus, they don't see migrants as human beings, they're just unwanted numbers that they care not a jot what happens to them.
Well, I'm grateful to myself and to the far better influences I've had all through my life, that I'd never ever want to be associated with anyone who thought like that.
Not a chance, never in my lifetime.
Not a chance.

A thousand migrants have arrived here today. It is unsustainable. I don't know any Reform supporter who want to see migrants drown in the channel so to tar everyone with the same brush is a little short sighted. But where are we going to put them all? Who's going to pay for it? Right now they're being housed in front of our own people causing discontent. Resources are finite, this cannot continue. The choice seems to be either we welcome them in with open arms, or we're Nazis. I do not accept that, and if we'd done something to stem the tide years ago and make it clear we will only take those who arrive through recognised routes, ie the Red Cross or the UN, things might be different. You cannot seriously believe that all these young, fighting age men are fleeing war? Where are all the women and children? I would be less unhappy if these were desperate families, but they're not. I don't see anyone worrying that the French don't put these people up in hotels and give them all sorts of free stuff like we do. It's why they come. We're a soft touch who'll step over our own homeless to be seen to be supporting migrants.
I will stand up for the influences in my own life and believe they at least match those in your own. The concentration camp where my grandmother lost her whole family and almost lost her own life bears little resemblance to the four star, free med and dental with pocket money life the migrants landing here receive. So I find the comments about how Reform are Nazis, insulting, hysterical and short sighted in the extreme.
