“Old man Murphy and old man Sean were contemplating life when Murphy asked, “If you had to get one or the other would you rather get Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s?

”Sure, I rather have Parkinson’s”, replied Sean

Better than your usual nonsense in fairness. Stick to the jokes thread...

It's frankly hard to fathom that you're even having this conversation. "Yeah, sorry your homeland is wartorn or you're being persecuted, and we know you have family in Britain, but you're going to have to live in Bucharest because Pete thinks that's perfectly good enough for you".

The arrogance is mindblowing.

No Bruce, when you get past the bleeding heart you actually raise a point. If the Asylum seeker has a certain need to be in the U.K., family, language or whatever, I have no problem. I do have a problem though with people seeking asylum from the greatest place on earth .......

I am bored tbh. We have EU fanatics who cannot comprehend why we would leave the EU yet believe Asylum seekers should leave the EU. We have Japanese toolmakers who won’t send chisels to the U.K. because the trade agreement is exactly the same as it was when we were in the EU.....seriously who makes this up......

For the 100th time, the only way to legally claim asylum in the UK is on UK soil. If you can't get a visa to travel (which as countries are persecuting people enough for them to need to leave isn't going to happen), then they have no legal means of coming to the UK, hence why there is such a trade in people smuggling. Maybe get some of your chief executive chums to do some research on the subject.

For someone who likes to claim to be well informed Pete, you aren't half coming across as ignorant here. In 2019 there were around 435,000 first-time asylum claims made in the EU. Of those, 32,000 were to the UK, so an awful lot of people are choosing not to come here. Germany, Spain, and France had around 3x as many as the UK did, and even Greece had 1.5 times as many.

Perhaps they could have applied for Asylum in the Eu and then applied to enter the U.K. Perhaps you could get some of your Eu chums to explain.....
