In good company, even on here.
Interesting to see your milk of human kindness tap is very much in the off position when it comes to druggies plaguing your neighbourhood, but is gushing when it comes to asylum seekers.
Could it be that one has a direct impact on you and the other does not?
What does that make you - other than a typical citizen?
Right, now that I have a moment I'll address this post.
Not wanting a petty crime wave on one's doorstep, and taking whatever steps available either the law to end it is entirely compatible with:
1) questioning whether immigration via dingy even presents the social issues it is purported to, especially given the ageing population of the UK and the low birthrate. We have an obligation to allow people to claim asylum. France takes in 4x the number we do. Germany 10x.
2) thinking that the present government is incompetent in its handling of the dingy issue in manifest ways. Rather than millions spent of Rwanda nonsense which is also illegal, it could be spent on employing staff to process claims and deport if needed.
3) thinking that law is now being decided on the basis of what makes a good political slogan
4) thinking that inciting fear of and hatred towards immigrants is a slippery slope
5) recognising that performative cruelty to give people like you a hardon is not what I want a government to do.
