What a great policy.

It would take a long time to ever convince me that a Labour government would do anything other than welcome all economic migrants with open arms & 4**** hotel suites.

So we accept the quota and **** loads more still get in! What a plan that is.

We need a strong leader for a few years. Tommy Robinson could sort it out.

So we have a quota for say a year. When that limit is reach? Go on guess what happens. How can they be so niave?

No, he'd just line his own pockets like the Tories do. Don't believe the hype!

Funny, as in the last election, labour were constantly being attacked for being anti-Semitic and racist. I wish people could make up their minds about whether labour loves foreigners or hates them, it's hard to keep up!

What exactly is the "it", to which you refer?

When you stop and think about it, when folk say (and most of us can be guilty of doing it) that such and such a person would sort the country out and/or make a great PM, in most of not all cases, no they wouldn't.

I heard someone say on tv the other day 'Nigel (Farage) would get the country sorted out, he'd make a great PM.'

Nigel Farage, or any of others people mention, could be parachuted in to be PM as of midnight tonight and he'd face the same challenges that all PMs face. I suspect even someone like Nigel, or heaven forbid Tommy, would realise it's not quite as straightforward or black and white to implement changes as they like to make out.

These talking heads are great at pontificating what should be done. Implementing stuff when you're the person/team actually responsible is rarely as straightforward. Back seat drivers and all that ...

It’s a complex problem which the Dublin agreement never fixed. So it’s unclear how it could work now.

The idea of having a policy where all countries implement the same process and support the nearest safe country for genuine claims is a good one. Not that this policy is calling for that.

But he’d stop the boats or do a dam sight better than our current idiots in charge.

If you don’t know, I can’t help.

There's been quite a few videos of migrants on French beaches getting into these boats, but no sign of French personnel to put two or three rubber bullets into the boat thus rendering it useless. It's almost as if the French are quite happy to let them go ...

Don't be daft.

It is not economically-feasible to "stop the boats".

FFS; my mate swam across a few weekends ago.

While I'm not making light of the difficulty of crossing the Channel, it's hardly a thousand miles of shark-infested waters now, is it?

If you don’t know, I can’t help.

If you don't know, you can't tell me.

Which, I strongly suspect, is the case.

Just a soundbite.

How will he do that? And why do you think a bloke who's entire popularity is built on hatred will somehow be able to run a country better than anybody else?
