Batons and synthetic pepper spray were used to repel hundreds of masked, black-clad vigilantes in Portsmouth on Sunday, it has emerged, as the policing minister said officers had been injured as they repelled organised “aggression”.
@kibcol1049 Don't keep us in suspense! Was it pro- or anti-immigration?
@h4890 Against illegal immigration and in particular the small boat crossings it seems. Apart from the extreme dangers of these, to the people on the boats and the rescuers, it occurred to me that the total cost to the UK must be huge. In order to pay for it I suppose some deserving UK citizen doesn’t get some help they need. That's just my opinion though.
@kibcol1049 The only two solutions I can think of are...
1. Sink the boats. Once immigrants realize this, they will go to the EU instead of risking this.
2. Deduct the money it costs to patrol and handle immigrants from foreign aid, and if that is not enough, play hardball and add the cost to exports to the country or region the immigrant comes from.
A 3 can of course be to lower the cost of handling them. That is, water and bread, no hotels, immediate shipment to rwanda,
@h4890 @kibcol1049 Two much cheaper alternatives to "stop the boats":
(1) Send someone to Calais to hand out ferry tickets. This will cost peanuts.
(2) #RejoinEU . This will *make* billions.
@TimWardCam @kibcol1049 This is incorrect. Immigrants from 3:rd world countries are a huge net loss. This has been proven many times, and most recently a government authority in sweden came to this conclusion. Immigration from western countries can benefit the economy.
Keep in mind that this includes crime, rape, killings, added pressure on police, as well as moslems taking over parts of society.
The EU is a socialist dictature, but in time, it will crash like all socialist dictatures.
