[webbo3]

Looks like they are heading to sicily, lock up your daughters.

Looking at the pictures there appear to be many more young men on board than there are women and children, as always.

Allen, you beat the drum for unrestricted immigration - insulting dissenters as you go - and yet twice on this page you have refused to answer questions relevant to the discussion. If you think those questions are motivated by a desire to add fuel to the fire of anti-immigration sentiment surely, it is incumbent upon you to defend not only potential immigrants but moreover your pro-immigration fervour. I suspect you’re all talk - simply making what you think are noises that portray you as compassionate - an image you’re always keen to promote. Truth is you have no rational answers …. hence your refusal.

[Mozz71]

See, I defended Allen before, but having seen his last two comments, it does look like he's being a bit of a prat.

[allenlondon]

Sound argument, Mozz, can’t say much against that kind of logic.

Stop making things up naomi. I am not in favour of unrestricted immigration, just against unrestricted prejudice.

[pixie374]

Maths and economics are not "prejudice". Just reality.
Naomi, while I get your point, Allen seems to be anything but "compassionate".
Homeless people, children in overcrowded classrooms, workers paying tax, sick or elderly people relying on the NHS or care home places, etc etc etc... can apparently all get stuffed.... until the country collapses under its own weight. It's anything but compassionate.

[naomi24]

Allen, I've made nothing up. Your reputation precedes you.

[ladybirder]

Why such a rude answer @ 10.47 to my perfectly civil and polite question Allen?

[royfromaus]

I'll just wait patiently while all the Answerbank wing of the national front (or whatever they're calling themselves these days) gird up their loins for another day's lying and insulting.

Could this start an avalanche of celebrities taking in a refugee?

[New Judge]

Mr Lineker's refugee has yet to arrive.

[pixie374]

Presumably he will pay privately for everything as well... not just give him a room?

[pixie374]

Oh. What happens after "temporarily "?

[royfromaus]

I was thinking the same, Pixie.

I couldn't share my home with a mate for more than a day...

[pixie374]

Me neither... he has already admitted it won't be permanent.

[ummmm]

They'd still have to be vetted!

I have other people living in my house and it's hard work.

[allenlondon]

Sorry ladybirder, my vitriol was aimed solely at ynna, who delights in provocative digs.

Hello roy, I thought we’d got over the little Allen/fat roy phase.

To those not in the Answerbank’s rightwing cabal, my apologies. I do enjoy baiting them as while they’re snarling at me, at least they’re leaving some other poor $0ds alone.

[naomi24]

Allen, //To those not in the Answerbank’s rightwing cabal, my apologies. I do enjoy baiting them //

I have no idea who's in your imaginary Cabal but if you think you're baiting anyone you're imagining that too. You are making a fool of yourself though.

[ladybirder]

Thank you Allen.

Two hours, but preferably one, is the limit in my flat.
Unless it's an animal.

[allenlondon]

Come on, naomi, have a bit of fun, do... Oh no, you don’t, do you.

Shame.

[burlyshirley]

allen - have you ever wondered why people 'bait' you as you put it ?? It's because you come across as rude and insufferable and ALWAYS right. So maybe, just maybe, it's all your fault ….
