B686 Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Government pays him 3.5 million a day how much are these asylum seeker’s really costing this country a day to keep? Don’t bear thinking about millions that could be far better spent elsewhere that’s for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these do gooders welcoming illegal immigrants won't be the ones who can't afford basic necessitys, probably have private health care, live in areas where the increased crime rates won't affect them. Every illegal they welcome here has real world effects for the average UK citizen, from unaffordable housing, all the way to women being raped.

armsid Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Netherlands announced it wants to stop asylum seekers coming to their country and guess what the Commission said no and everyone in the EU must follow the rules on asylum Interesting times ahead Surely our Civil Servant must know the daily cost of keeping these people in luxury compared to some of our own who have worked on low pensions and unable to claim anything This cannot go on the country will go bust and then what?

Some US company described it as a Unicorn company worth £1.4 billion. His share is worth some £400+ million for a company that makes year on year losses.

Robden Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 This country is *****d and probably no way back. Sometimes I'm glad I'm old. Maybe not too bad for the very young, as they won't know any different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big company declares a loss. The off shore company another record profit and pays an insignificant amount of tax to that haven. All above board chap, nothing to see here, move along and say nothing! 👀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armsid Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 If it costs this much here what is the cost to all other European countries no wonder they send them here.This is leading to dissent in many countries so why do the leaders keep filling the pot with persons that do not want our way of life but our health and accomodation but at great cost to the paying nation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality that escapes them is that we are seen worldwide now as a very weak easy touch, treated with derision by some. I sometimes wonder how previous generations who often gave their all would feel about where we have sunk to today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
