    In your very limited defence the nearest you'd have got to a space bar at school was on the secretary's type writer.

    Mobile phones and laptops would have been fantastical concepts in Dan Dare and the Mekon and tablets either came down from mountains or were taken only when ill.

    You old fart 😊 .

    Corruption at so many levels at the expense of the ordinary man or woman is rife. A company I worked for got involved in a scheme to build schools and hospitals in Uganda. The deal was you got your flight 50% paid for, got paid by the company to take a week off to live in a village and provide free labour building these structures. Those that did go got hit with a $300 dollar 'tax' on arrival that they'd not been told about or they'd get put on the next flight out at their own cost. Turns out every person of multiple nationalities was paying this 'tax' that it transpired was going to a local committee made up of the police chief, magistrate and local government ministers.

    Until it starts to sort its own problems out mass movement of people will continue which as you say is unsustainable.
    There is no doubt large parts of Africa is corrupt. But without knowing the numbers, I'd say the majority who come here are Syrian, Iraqi, Afghan or Libyan. All four countries we've interfered with our terrible foreign policies which are coming back to bite us.

    'Pouring billions' into international aid is needed in my view for two reasons. One, it will save lives, and two - because the more stable a country is, the less likely people there will want to flee. International aid will actually help immigrants to not attempt to come to the UK. However, International Aid is an easy hit for our press, and most in this country believe our press, as evidenced by Brexit, so International Aid will always be a target.

    Have you ever read Mein Kampf by any chance? I have...... along with a whole host of other books. It's author always returns to one narrative. The Jews.

    With you it's the uneducated gammon plebs of the world. My only surprise is that you haven't linked Brexit to slavery and colonialism......yet.

    Still, the day is young 😊 .

    The bottom line is that I am not going to send my hard earned money to line some African despot's pockets. Don't tell me that there is no corruption either, in those four countries that you have quoted. If it could be officially confirmed that my money goes where it is needed I will willingly donate, as I have done in the past. Until then, no!

    He’ll be advocating the tearing down of Bomber Brown’s statue next 68 on the grounds that Remi Moses was “enslaved” to clean his boots whilst in our youth team!

    Funny how you confuse a personal view of an individual with the view of a government but hey-ho you were bullied at school so you know what a bully is like don’t you.

    So you’re happy to make capital out of the 4 years of bullying I suffered then?

    Top man! 👍🏻

    If what you were seeing are families mothers, father's and children seeking asylum I don't really have a problem with that, though I do wonder why they travel across half the world to get here risking their lives crossing the channel, when they could find sanctuary in a country that shares their views on religion, culture and dress.
    But often we see literally boatloads of young men of military call up age coming ashore, a good job for us that our young men didn't do a runner in 1940.
    There is no doubt in my mind that most are here for the freebies and nearly all despise our way of life.
    They create their own " communities" and refuse to integrate.
    We should have laid down the conditions of entry in the 1960's, it's too late now this country is f ucked.

    The leaders of this country have lost their backbone.

    Nelson would be spinning in his grave.....if he hadn't been laid to rest in a tomb in the crypt of St Paul’s.
