but the people coming over in boats aren't doing that are they? they want to get into the UK system bypassing legitimate asylum routes. Everyone in this thread knows this, so I can't for the life of me understand why people are defending them

The people coming over on boats can still claim asylum, even if they enter illegally, once they claim asylum, they’re no longer illegal, that’s the law.

#DenounceTheVikings

Should we accuse the migrants of trying to restart the Ottomon Empire?

Some Brits love self flagellating themselves and martyring themselves over the evils of their ancestors, it's astonishing

And people are defending them because not everybody sees them as an ‘infestation’ or an ‘invasion’, not everyone sees them as awful people because of where they come from or what they look like, some people just see them as people looking for a better life, it’s really that simple.

We keep hearing about how much better life in the EU is, maybe they could take a shorter and ssfer journey for an even better life!

We're a tiny and over populated island with virtually every service being stretched, there's no obligation to be the sanctuary for the world.

These crossings have been going on for decades, so what is it in this moment, with this government, that the country feels it can fall in line with far right ideology.

This crap has been on BNP leaflets for as long as the BNP have been around. Disappointing to see media now push these same talking points to generate a crisis.
