If ministers want to publish the assertion - "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world" - they should be able to say what they think that means

I hope that demonstrably untrue claim will now be retired

Such powerful and moving articles - thank you

Wonderful!

I just don’t understand why ‘we must be more like reform’ could ever even be considered to be Labour’s mindset. Whatever happened to pushing back against this, frankly racist nonsense?!

Thank you for your thoughtful replies. My point, however is that the media focuses on the ethnicity/religion of those who commit criminal offences when it suits their, frankly racist agenda. If public safety were truly the goal, then our daily headlines would be all about white British offenders.

Why? Genuine question

White British men commit 80% of all criminal offences in the UK. Yet, the tabloid media and commentariat are only ever interested if the perpetrator’s skin is brown and/or their religion Islam. There is an urgent need to stop selective and racially biased reporting of crime.

Excellent questioning and proof yet again that sunlight is always the best disinfectant with such offensive nonsense

Exactly this - I have no problem adopting the euro, but a commitment to joining it and actually joining it are two distinct, and non-time limited events

She spoke very well
