  1. Well that's easy - open a processing centre in France, and let valid asylum seekers travel on the ferry. Job done!

  2. I would love to accept your challenge that the public support this! Sadly, the Tories won't call a general election 🙁

  3. France is already housing many humanely, but a small number want to come here instead Are you saying we're less capable than France?

  4. ​@Paopper what if France is already full?

  5.  @greentroll9326  why would I have to pay anything? Let them work so they can pay their own bills

  6.  @steventwine8705  we are short of workers, so we are not full

  7. But only if they released a picture book version with big, easy to read letters

  8. Because the Tories want photos of small boats for the newspapers, so they don't grant visas, not even temporary ones No visa, no plane

  9. 13 years of austerity will leave public services in a bad state

  10. @Royboy  don't need a spare room, they're going to get a job and pay their own bills

  11. @Steven Twine  they won't be given jobs, this isn't soviet Russia. They will apply for jobs, and find the one they are suited to do

  12.  @steventwine8705  I would assume they'll be starting in low skill, low risk jobs if they don't have a verifiable history. There may be some support needed with language, but probably less than you think - often the reason they want to come here rather than France is they speak English but no French

  13.  @steventwine8705  then they'll have to find other ways to prove competence and character, same as the rest of us do. Our society doesn't cut any of us much slack!

  14.  @paopper-ys7xj  this is how conversations work - you read what people say, and the topic evolves as people add and expand ideas You should give it a go!

  15.  @paopper-ys7xj  why would you assume that?

  16. @Paopper  what evidence is there they are passing through covertly? I also don't see anything wrong with having preferences in where to apply for asylum. It is the rest of your life - I can see why you'd choose somewhere that you already have friends or family, or a place where you already speak a bit of the language Very sensible things to consider, when you're probably going to be somewhere for the rest of your life

  17.  @notjustforhackers4252  which EU reg do you want to scrap first - holiday pay? Maternity leave? Want to understand your priorities better
