Is banksi not a glorified people smuggler?
Why shouldn't he face jail?

That is a big load of b****cks. If you believe his figures (and I don’t) 1% of the worlds refugees, do we have 1% of the worlds inhabitable space? Probably not.
Looking at the White Cliffs from the other side of the Channel. That will be from a safe 3rd country where he could have sought Asylum.
If we don’t help them and have a fair system, why do they come here?
All are accommodated as soon as they arrive but we don’t help them!!
How many in Cornwall WE, once they start arriving there watch the barricades go up, jeez they only want British tourists when suits

Or not.

Remember the start of the lockdown the first to complain about tourists were the Cornish politicians. Something about the public resources being over stretched especially the NHS. Of course living in the SE we haven't a clue what their on about after all allowing in thousands of people each year is a good thing and doesn't impact on public services in the slightest.

I had planned a holiday to Cornwall not now though when things get back to normal the same politicians will be moaning about the impact on the local economy.

One more point

The authorities here were concerned at the start of the pandemic that an unanticipated heavy surge of visitors, particularly second homeowners trying to escape the cities, would overwhelm the limited health resources, which would not be in anyone's best interests. We have moved on from there now and there have been a lot of tourists here in the past weeks. The difference this year being primarily that they are all UK based, whereas in normal years they arrive from all over the world.

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.

Frankly, without any irony, that's usually the doctors.
