When Are The People In Power Going To Sit Up And Listen To What The Man In The Street Has Been Telling Them All Along?

If children are fast tracked in the asylum process, then of course people will lie about their age.

And another disgraceful instance of coupling asylum seekers with terrorists.

When the man in the street has compelling evidence, reasoned logic, and sensible policy suggestions - not headlines in a newspaper that sustains itself on outrage.

Next.

If the opinion of the man in the street doesn't dovetail with the self serving, legacy driven agenda then, never.
There's a slim chance on the run up to an election but politicians of whatever hue tend to have strong belief in their own ideas and beliefs, however deluded and hare-brained.

'Age assessed' so no actual proof so each assessment is based on what they see and no actual proof or medical examination!

Also suggesting that those that may be over 18 would attack vulnerable children is akin to suggesting that they are all sex attackers!

the man in the street must be guided by our Liberal "correct" thinkers in all things AOG. Us ordinary plebs cannot possibly fathom the complexity of thinking needed. Look what happens when they give us referendums! we give the "wrong" answer. Have faith AOG our grown ups will sort it for us.

Blame Lilly Allen & her inane apology in Calais jungle. Maybe she will donate her music royalties to their cause.

Couldn't agree more.
It's time NASA started listening to members of the Flat Earth Society, too.

People in power get many messages from many men in many streets and they do indeed listen to them.

[Gromit]

Asylum seekers are terrorists?

Do you have any proof of that?

[webbo3]

Here you go gromit, from the telegraph.

//He was a case where Germany’s much-criticised asylum procedures had not entirely failed. His claim for asylum was rejected in June and he was supposed to be deported. But his expulsion was held up by diplomatic wrangling with Tunisia, which at first refused to accept he was one of its nationals.//

Webbo,

And did he claim to be a child?

[webbo3]

This was your question.

Asylum seekers are terrorists?

Do you have any proof of that?


I gave you proof.

A terrorist was an asylum seeker doesn't mean all asylum seeker are terrorists though.
Maybe the fast tracking of children should be restricted to those thought to be under, say, 10, since too many adults are clearly slipping through

[douglas9401]

Hmm, interesting. As back pedalling goes it's not much, but it's a start.

[anotheoldgit]

/// When the man in the street has compelling evidence, reasoned logic, and sensible policy suggestions ///

The evidence has been proven, these adults were not children and amongst those so called refugees that Merkel welcomed were terrorists.

That's reasoned logic and sensible policy suggestions would have been to separate children from adults before letting them into one's country and for the Europe to get rid of their open border policy.

[fiction-factory]

Are you referring to Merkel, douglas?

[anotheoldgit]

Islay

/// Also suggesting that those that may be over 18 would attack vulnerable children is akin to suggesting that they are all sex attackers! ///

There is no evidence in the report suggesting that they 'ALL' sex attackers.

But going on some of their track records, 'SOME' of them 'MAY' well be.

[Islay]

The wording of the newspaper article is open to interpretation - that is my take on it, yours is different.

//If children are fast tracked in the asylum process, then of course people will lie about their age//

Simple......stop "fast tracking" children.
