Oh and just wondering were you for the war on Iraq?
Are you freaking kidding me? Genuine asylum seekers - what do you suppose the ratio is of genuine ones compared to piss takers who just want to come in and bleed us dry with credit card and benefit fraud? Seriously, do you know anyone in law enforcement? Ask them to tell you what they think, especially if they work in the Met or CID. I don't know anyone who has a problem with genuine Asylum seekers, but that isn't what we are seeing. We are seeing zero border control and literally thousands of opportunist people heading for a free ride. I don't blame them, I would no doubt do the same in their position. It's the UK/EU policy that is at fault.
War on Iraq, when I thought they had weapons of mass destruction, yes I was. Now, no but then, who could have known, really? Old Sadam wouldn't let us in and at the end of the day it's a doggy dog world. If I've got a bigger stick you can be sure as **** I'm going to hit you with it until I get what I want.
However, in all seriousness I think we should set up some infrastructure there, win some hearts and minds of the innocent Iraq people who do want peace and stability and then leave Iraq to the Iraq people.
If they want to carry on having their friday afternoon exucutions that's their call...
It's their country, let them do what they want. Just don't expect a penny of my money for foreign aid when these people and their neighbours are hacking each other up for their 'God'!!
