Remember the furore over Cameron using the word ‘swarm’…apparently this meant he was dismissing the migrants (can we use that word?) as insects or animals (and listen to Sarah Montague snort in what is definitely a knowingly mocking way when Sir John Holmes talks of not seeing migrants as ‘animals’ in another interview…you know exaclty what went through her mind and how she was thinking). Remember Gordon Brown’s … Continue reading
The crisis deepens: Isis are threatening to capture a vital highway in Syria – its loss could spark the exodus of millions more refugees Many credible voices, such as Lord Carey and Boris Johnson, are saying that Europe is essentially being invaded.

There is a bidding war going on as to who is the most humane, the most compassionate, who can get the most brownie points for making the boldest bid for pro-asylum seeker empathy. Labour’s Yvette Cooper opened the bidding, no doubt as a cunning ploy in her leadership election run, with a grandiose gesture of 10,000 whilst Andy Burnham claimed he had always been thinking along those lines … Continue reading

Quotas…how does that work? If the migrants don’t want to live in the country they are forced to go to what use are quotas and why should one country or another then have to take them just because they have decided they want to go there? The Today programme devoted the last half hour to the migration crisis….that’ll be half an hour and the other 23.5 hours on the … Continue reading
