Regulars know my option - open all borders. As the UK slides down the social scale of Brexit and Covid and ghastly governments, we need migrants more than they need us. I reckon countries like Morocco are far better places to live and work than the UK at the moment, if you're young, ambitious and clever. Terrific weather; huge potential; their future looks great where ours looks dreadful.

Great people with different coloured skin are way better for a country than red necked, white skinned bigots and fascists.

I'm still not aloud to live in and work in Australia.

Where's my ( white ) privilege ?

Are you aware that Morrocco in one of the world's poorest countries - the 4th poorest in the Arab world?

I've been there - and there's really no meaningful health care system. With over 4 million living in abject poverty.

With regard to education - the World Education Forum puts Morrocco at 119, from 137 countries.

Only independent for 65 years - it has a very long way to go - under every economic and lifestyle heading.


To compare Morrocco to the UK (the 6th biggest economy) - is both breathtaking and bizarre.

If only we could still send portions of our underclass somewhere else (er Australia?!) still to make room for the more civilized and productive of other nations.

I wouldn't go to Morrocco, a colleague went there and he left early. He's not a bad looking guy but he kept getting chatted up and propositioned. No wonder JK is a regular.


I don't see the migrants in masks and no social distancing in the link. Police the camera man for trespassing on public land then for disturbing the peace. You couldn't make it up.

Perhaps the tiny baby ferried in a gym bag aboard a dinghy across the Channel will become a doctor one day GM?

As far as I am concerned the baby is welcome; also the clearly desperate parents.

Does 4000 amount to a "tide" of migrants that Sunak has mentioned sending the navy in to sort out..?

This country is embarrassing...

I wish Sunak just be honest and admit it's a a ferry service, they will be in accomodation and be given benefits. Tax payers have the right to question these things.

I thought France and Germany were safe countries or don't they have a benefit system like the UK ?

Companies are laying off staff, farmers stick to the same pickers year after year.


USA have the right idea no benefits until you paid and rightly so.

During lockdown my partner volunteered in a homeless shelter, the number of homeless veterans is appalling. Serve Queen and country and discarded, many of them with mental illness and not getting proper treatment.

I pledge donations to various shelters and military charities.

Scotty’s Little Soldiers - is an amazing charity.

All those people who voted for Brexit because they wanted to stop the immigrants must be loving this!

Why only welcome the enthusiastic hard working honest people? Isn't it a bit selfish?
If we cant fit everyone in, I would prefer to go and get the half-hearted, lazy and dishonest people and bring them over, because without the "enthusiastic hard working honest people" they are buggered!

For instance - it would be daft to bring my old/new Bugatti to Marrakech.

It's simply a haven for easy and cheap sex - mostly not of the heterosexual variety.

50$ will buy any sexual favour there, from all species and nationalities.


Almost room service in some places. It was happening there before/after WW1.

Little has changed if you know the right street.

Thankfully a busty bra solves my problems (hers, not mine) - but there are few women on the street, except ladyboys¡

However, a wink to the doorman in Morrocco hotels usually completes many sexual transactions.

That's a myth. The Breixteers I know and served in my pubs and bars or just in my social circle. Not one of them mentioned immigration !

Barney, you have mentioned the same stuff that my colleague said about Morrocco.

It's the same most parts of the world. I want the welfare system abolished and to be given to the truly needed like disabled and their carers.
Give the rest food stamps and vouchers. I couldn't live in USA unless I had a job. I got a job over there and lived in a dingy room above the pub. Did about 60 hours to get a better place.

Then I repeated the cycle in Canada and Argentina. Built a up a network, bought and sold clubs and pubs. I have never relied on welfare or Jobcentre.

Thank you for this. Please spare a few quid for the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association (SSAFA) if you can. They helped me and were very kind.

the notion that migrants should be skilled before admittance is one of the most illogical notions of all time.

note: Sir Frank Lowy was an unskilled worker when he arrived in Australia after WW2 with his only work experience being in a relative's shoe shop.

Yet he built the world's largest Shopping Centre complex Westfields and is a multi billionaire.

There are endless similar stories from all around the world. In fact the majority of immigrants or refuges once granted citizenship tend to take advantage of everything to build a good life and positively contribute.

You know just repeating the number of people/institutions that agree on something doesn't in itself advance or refute an argument.

A lot of people believe in God or alien abductions, but there remains no evidence for either.

Most of your arguments "for" Covid are along these lines, I have observed.

Hope this helps; even if I am just one person...

Maybe they didn't think they needed to. The one person in my wider family who has divulged which way he voted (in his 80s, used to live abroad) says he did so because of the immigrants, specifically Muslims. Before the referendum I also recall seeing posts from Brexit supporters on pro-EU Facebook pages (there often seemed to be more of them than pro-EU posters on some of these pages) expressing concern about immigration. In fact I can specifically remember one, a woman apparently living in rural Devon, saying her prime concern was immigration and when I questioned this, wondering why this would be a concern to someone living in Devon, she accused me of being nasty.
