Good question! Isn’t that the problem?
If they’re economic migrants then why don’t they arrive via the proper channels ( rather than the English one ) as many have and do?
If they’re asylum seekers why do they need to seek asylum from France? France isn’t at war with anyone as far as I know.This is what he said; "...someone coming off a plane..." So that implies they have a legal right to live and work in Ireland or that they have come through established channels to claim asylum. As said above if you don't want people to come from eu countries then have a referendum.

Can you not understand people just don't want mass immigration/asylum seekers in their area with all problems it brings
Of course, but as Millrace said they are coming off a plane and as they are part of Europe, duty bound to allow this. If the people of Ireland don't want this then they need a referendum.

We often have deportees on board and so far, not had this sort of reaction.
It's also old news (2018) going around again, I wonder why?

I have not heard mention of the tide state at the time (which is a very narrow window in tide terms) she went missing.
Fleetwood has a large tidal range but the wyre is a small river so I would expect it is mainly just a river flow for most of the time but the tide will come in fast and depart fast too. This is a graphic of the tides at Perth, which is about 15 miles inland from the sea proper.
As for the St Michael's area I can't say for sure.

"they" have mentioned that the river is tidal...and make the assumption that the stretch where the bench is ...is subject to tidal variations ....they also mention there is a weir...
- water does not run uphill
- bodies are not very good at jumping or lifting themselves over weir's...(unless the upper reach is in full flood...which has not been the case due to lack of rain on the catcment area)
these are some of the things which make the case so strange....."agency's saying different things"........so that leaves the field open to simple muppets like me to ask questions.
can anyone confirm that there is a weir...????
The problem is no one knows where she went into the water, the assumption is next to the bench where dog , lead, and phone were found but the weir is just 100m or so away across the field. Yes these are just assumptions and I only know about the weir due to google mapping but it is interesting to note that you can see water gushing over it. The weir is probably towards the upper reach of the tide similar to the weir at Wylam on the Tyne, so the flow would be stronger on an ebb and less or upstream on a flow.

I think that the guys who said Alder are correct, not a lot of heat even though it was under 7% moisture but I will split it down and add to the fire with Ash or birch.

I'm sure that those who are struggling with life don't go and look at the best or most used ways of killing themselves. I've seen many, only two were well thought out, one with helium as they had terminal illness, the other had a stomach full of sleeping pills, drove into a large pillar but didn't get injured, so walked to a local bridge and jumped off after covering themselves with petrol from the can they brought and setting fire to themselves. If people are serious about killing themselves then they will just do it and common sense may not come into it.

No smell and not much sign of bark so a bit of a mystery 🤔
I will try one later and keep an eye on it for smoke or excessive heat. I suppose 7 pieces of this in a half tipper load ain’t bad.

I had a load delivered and among the normal logs were these.
Is the colour natural, as I have not seen any like this before, or might it be some kind of preservative applied to it and best not to burn?

Mhairi Black rather than Blackford, but probably Swinney.

Nice report Henry. Who knows what the holds. I can't wait for black bream to come further North
Strangely enough a friend had one a couple of years ago off the Tyne and there was a report of a Gilt iirc off Torness power station.

Yes, there are some good catches from both sides apparently but patchy ATM.

Thanks for posting, looks like a nice day out, think we need some pictures of the meal you cooked your family with those freshly caught fish, do you eat the dog fish?
Not tried the dogs yet but will do at some stage. I don't remember having them in the past but I suppose skinning them will be tough like a squirrel is.
I took 3 whiting, we had 2 last night in a Parsley sauce with potatoes and vegetables but no photos, sorry. Granddaughter is getting one of the whiting made into cakes with the remaining potatoes and Parsley for tea tonight.

They are the ones that don't integrate - again - you ignore Dave G's comment above that doesn't suit your narrative instead trying to cherry pick.
That area where I worked was an area where the majority of people were from that region - again being an ethnic minority in our own country. Working with a team of 6 where their prefered language in a UK workplace was not English.
Regarding Dave-G, have taxi drivers across the UK ever had the same experience from white British people?
OK, let's go through the rest. It was their preferred or primary language in a work environment where the majority (85% ish) spoke in their primary language. Do you think that they would do the same if the numbers were reversed? Of course not, languages and even dialects are nuanced so it will be easier to talk in a language that the 85% understands fully rather than get it wrong on occasion.
What other instances do you want me to tell you about? My BIL's wife, Polish, worked in the UK for 20 years, speaks English and a couple of other languages, my Romanian neighbours in Scotland, he was a local bus driver, she had two small children to look after but worked part time in the local school as a support for learning assistant but was a veterinary nurse in Romania and needs to retrain for the uk. Both speak English and other languages. The Puga's from Portugal (friends from Scotland) Jo works for the council and she was a carer for their younger daughter who is on the autistic spectrum, all five speak English, Portuguese and Spanish very well. Now we live in tyneside and the local estate has one family, as far as I can tell as we've only been here 18 months, who are again Portuguese and speak English well and the adults work at the local parcel distribution centre and the young girl attends the local primary, their dog is called coco. Lastly a Romanian fisherman, speaks English swear words fluently and others not so, but we respected each other when fishing just about shoulder to shoulder catching mackerel and herring, allowing each other to cast or give the nod, or point out where our lines were so we don't get tangled and at the time I was in the minority of white British compared to Romanian on South Shields pier, to me it wasn't a biggy.
I would suggest that if you engage faithfully with people they will respect and respond positively to you and just because someone speaks a different language it doesn't mean that they don't want to integrate.

It isn't nice when you are in work as well and you are the only one speaking English when all the rest are speaking in an Indian language...
So are they the 20 that aren't successful?

the difference is ....the Brits spend money and pay into the local economy..............
Bit of a generalisation Simon, my cousin's husband (Iraqi) and their children all work and pay taxes, so contributing to the UK. As a senior educationalist in his own country he was in a highly paid UK job and he has now partially retired, his son is high up in food supply with a major supermarket chain. I'm not sure about the other son at this precise time but last year was employed and there daughter lives in Europe.

You are not right there. What you saying often said but it's not true
Technically, when a person claims asylum they are claiming asylum from the country they arrived from ( ie France) not some distant land they left in the dim past
You better argue your point with this professor of law then...

I think you are also missing something salient, the head of the specialist unit said that they had searched a little upstream of the bench and down to the weir. I didn't hear or read that they went any further downstream.
A body could have washed up and down with the tide too.
