I’m not prepared to pay the fee to read the full details in The Times online so I will surmise that they could only ‘pin’ 1900 on the guy for the watertight evidence that they had, but they have insufficient proof for the other 18000. Just guessing.

I recall an Ethiopian girl being interviewed at the camp at Calais some years ago. She had walked all the way from Africa. She thought David Cameron was some sort of messiah. Wonder what happened as I do to other families especially the kid who have crossed my paths.

Yep that terrible war zone that is Albania

A totally misinformed one designed to disguise the stupidity of his earlier statement. There is no desire by the government to return any genuine refugees, just ones who come from safe countries, passing through numerous other safe countries and end up making no contribution to this country other than raising the crime rate. Lineker is just another BBC leftist who talks out of his arse on most subjects. Hopefully all this will lead to a tightening of rules and an end to the licence fee. What it has already done is to expose what many of us already knew. Certainly not the Director General.

Not for the first time I give thanks that your views are only held by a noisy but tiny minority. Apparently a poll today found more than 75% of those asked supported Lineker, In fact, your comment contains, with a little creative editing a pretty good summary of itself:- "What it has done is to expose what many of us already knew. It comes from someone who talks out of his arse on most subjects." Should the right of the Tory party ever manage to persuade the government to mess with the licence fee it would more likely signal the end of the Tory party than the end of the BBC. I cannot imagine a bigger vote loser. It would completely destroy
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |
