Step right up
That's right it fillets
It chops, it dices, it slices
It never stops
Lasts a lifetime, it mows your lawn
It picks up the kids from school
It gets rid of unwanted facial hair
It gets rid of embarrassing age spots
It delivers the pizza
It lengthens
And it strengthens

It has been used several times and, whilst asylum claims are down in Denmark illegal migration, is not - so it’s no deterrent at all. As for ‘claiming generous benefits’, asylum seekers in the UK can’t claim benefits for several years so this argument is spurious.This is just performative nastiness.

Are you suggesting that they should take away asylum seekers’ valuables so they are eligible to claim benefits?

I used to work for a council direct labour force that, amongst other things, had to regularly replace the top 5 feet of iron stench pipes that had rotted away with the gases

As far as I can see, no one in this story has been given a hysterectomy - this was a random comment by a driver. There really is enough shit going down in the US without having to make up this sort of nonsense

No explanation, no contrition, no sympathy, no apology, just naked self interest
