More thoughts on the Royal Nonce story;

Whilst the reports on the King’s reaction to Prince Andrew’s activities have considerable credibility, it is noteworthy to remember the following response he himself sent to the Duke of Edinburgh during the press frenzy over his marital infidelities;

“I may be married to Diana, but I refuse to be the first and only Prince of Wales never to have had a mistress.”

Lovely.

Its why we see geriatric Presidential candidates in the US, because the Boomers don't want to give up power and Gen X are happy to try to profit from the scraps.
------------
It's the same in the UK too looking at recent PM's.

Blair, Brown, May, Johnson, and Starmer are all boomers. Farage if he gets in is also a boomer.

We've technically had 3 Gen X PM's but Cameron was 1966 so just misses the boomer cut off, and Sunak is 1980 so just misses the millennial cut off.

It's only Truss who's a clear Gen X, so on second thoughts maybe it's a good thing

Kosovo has become the first country to indicate it will accept Britain’s refused asylum seekers as part of government plans to set up “return hubs” in third countries.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Little doubt this will be vastly more expensive than giving them £9 a week, but brown people, etc, etc.

They could save paying people smugglers a fortune by heading straight to Kosovo

I don’t think they want to build a life in Kosovo tbh Boris, because otherwise they would.

Probably an ignorant question, but don't many of them come from Kosovo in the first place?

Is that all it cost? There’s a lot more illegals over here than I first thought, considering we were spending over £9m a day.

It’s got nothing to do with colour you paranoid sausage. We welcomed over 160k Hongkongers over here and hardly anyone gave a feck . I don’t want to burst your bubble because I know you love to play the victim ,but it’s more to do with their realign and their culture than their race. Hindus and Sikhs don’t get anything like the bad press Muslims get.

Wow Starmer had a really bad PMQs today in regards to the grooming gangs inquiry. He really needs to get it under control or he will under immense pressure

I’m going to say this one last time, for the people who really struggle with words.

Asylum seekers are not illegal immigrants.

It’s not even hard.

Gotta say it’s interesting to me that someone can be so angry and vociferous about a subject that they demonstrably don’t have a clue about.

Amazing really.

It's funny clappy because you've answered your own post with the very last sentence

Your views are what they are because you've been manipulated by thr "bad press". I doubt you've spent a day in your life with any asylum seeker whether they're muslim, a hindu, a sikh, or from hong kong to know any different.

If the ones brainwashing you wanted, they would've triggered you with endless sweeping news stories about those "dirty" hong kong folk, the "criminal" hindus or "evil" sikhs and you would've lapped it up like you did the Poles, the Bulgarians in the past and now the muslims.

Bad press ffs

People like Clapfree thinks there’s an invasion and immigration is going up. It’s not, it’s halved in the last 12-months.

People like Clapfree thinks were being overrun by Asylum seekers. We’re not, there’s been 36k this year, it’s nothing.

People like Clapfree thinks were immigration costs us money? It doesn’t. It brings in £3.5bn a year.

The reason they are upset is because they are horribly misinformed, uneducated on the subject and let’s be honest, xenophobic.

Immigration is nowhere near the issue that the race baiters would have you believe.

Immigration is not the reason Tesco et al are making record profits during a cost of living crisis.

Immigration is not the reason the energy companies are making profits during an energy crisis.

Immigration is not the reason there are NHS waiting lists. That’s the 25% funding cut. In fact they’re the reason the NHS works at all.

Immigration is not the reason over £200bn has been paid to shareholders who we sold our utilities to.

Immigration is not the reason there’s a housing crisis. That’s would be the Tories not building any houses for a decade while 750k homes sit empty and over 1.5m dwellings are second homes.

I know these people don’t like to be considered stupid, but they make it really, really hard to say otherwise.

They’re supposed to be seeking asylum for various reasons, why would they be so picky if they’re desperate to leave their homeland?

If I was in a burning building. I’d use the first and easiest option to escape, I wouldn’t be wandering around looking for an ornate, Georgian doorway to make my exit

Wtf’s wrong with Kosovo anyway?

Yeah? Well if I’d signed up to an agreement, I’d honour it instead of being a whiney racist b!tch.

Ooh

Willy feminism Woke in the house

What’s remotely racist about anything I’ve said?

Nothing. Just throwing it out there.

I’m of the opinion that immigration is a bit of a non-issue, but what I’m certain of is that asylum really isn’t.

36k this year. Oooooo nooooooooooo.

Turkey has taken best part of 4,000,000 ffs.

It’s the right thing to do, we caused half of it, we make billions from arms sales.

Please read more. TIA.
