[NYCBlue]

It amazes me that so many people fall for this type of thing.

Let's get down to it

People who shout close the borders , put the army on standby at Dover......actually want this done

Literally

This is the sort of headline they love

Here's another one. Some, not all, in fact, a small portion, want to come to the UK because that's their ****ing preference. They may have family, friends etc already in the UK. As much as it seems to pain some people, being part of the lowest economical social class doesn't mean that you give up on aspiration and ambition. Surely that's the Tory mantra, like Tebbitt said, ' Get on yer bike' I would've thought that anyone who travels through 8 countries and sleeps under a piece of plastic for two years, leaving their families and friends behind, should have the red carpet rolled out for them. That's commitment in my eyes, just what we want!

It's what made Britain Great !

It’s a PR exercise, she’s got no power to turn them back in International waters. The French will not stop them leaving their waters and once they're over the dotted line they’re the UKs responsibility and since we left the EU we can no longer deport them

Can we nudge them towards Ireland?

David Schneider is appalling on twitter. He purely posts inflammatory things.

He's right though

[JamesWales]

He's right though

He's not right. He never is. Thats a hypothetical scenario designed to enrage the knee-jerkers on twitter.

He only ever looks at things from a far-left angle too. So he ignores counter arguments and provides no context.

If you only give one side of a story, it's not accurate.

Bloke is worth ignoring.

This was his previous tweet. What is incorrect about this?

NOT AGAINST INTERNATIONAL LAW:
Crossing the Channel to claim asylum

AGAINST INTERNATIONAL LAW:
Pushing refugee boats back at sea

David Schneider is clearly not "far left"
if he appears far left to you, I'd suggest that says more about you than him.

What he means is David Schneider posts things that make him feel uncomfortable because it holds a mirror up to how much of a selfish **** James is.

"Far Right"

You actually believe yourself don't you?!

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

If you believe the likes of the Mail, Express and Nobhead Farage the UK is the only country that asylum seekers are interested in, but if you take a look at the actual figures loads go to other European countries. These UN figures are from 2019 but I'm sure haven't changed greatly:
UK - 133,094
Germany - 1,146,685
France - 407,923
Italy - 207,619
Sweden - 253,794
Switzerland - 110,168
Austria - 135,955

This isn't about asylum seekers per se, it is about boats crossing the channel via criminal gangs.

The two should not be conflated.

I wholly support the UK airlifts from Afghanistan last week. But I generally don't think facilitating human trafficking from Calais is good.

Of course it’s not about asylum seekers once you’ve seen the figures that were posted, how could you possibly justify what you’re saying otherwise?

If you think he is far left you soppy twat. I can see him now in a Beret organising a milita to over throw the government.

The person who used the phrase virtue signal is now saying others are far down a rabbit hole without irony!

Okay, 'hard left' would be a better angle. He isnt centre-left

[Rjk]

Okay, 'hard left' would be a better angle. He isnt centre-left

I would describe him as centre left

[WJ99mobile]

I would describe him as centre left

He does get on my nerves.

He jumps on any bit of news that can be used to criticise the government whether it's correct or not

Thankfully I don't follow him

[splott parker]

The Brexiteers are reaping what they sowed, they were fed the ‘we’ll stop the illegal immigrants’ line and fell for it hook, line & sinker. The French may have the attitude now of ‘shoo, get over there to the nearest non EU country, it’s just over that stretch of water, we’ve no alliance or allegiance to the rosbifs now’. Hypothetical and fanciful, I know, but is it? The largely right wing influenced ‘leavers’ have created the very scenario that was their worst nightmare.

[Croesy Blue]

Yes, in the last day or so:

This is a lie

This is misleading

This is presenting a hypothetical story as reality for his followers

The blokes a political sectarian. If you are interested in the truth, I wouldnt follow him. Or follow someone on the opposite side of the spectrum for balance.

****ing hell are they really the best examples you could come up with?

Thats from the last two days!

He's a classic twitter fake-news poster.

Do you believe what he writes then?

Does anyone have a David Schneider face t-shirt in the style of Che Guevara ?
