4-Out Of 10 Crossing The Channel Are From Albania

[Bobbisox1]

Not a war torn country and mostly young men so why are we accommodating them? given they could apply for a Visa to come in legally if they wanted to!
They should be sent back immediately yet they aren’t !!

/// You can't just pluck out a figure you've seen somewhere and assume that's relevant.///

and yet that's exactly what the story does. The headline says "Four in ten Channel migrants are from peaceful Albania". No mention of "during a specific six week period carefully leaked to a right-wing party": they want you to think that figure is a constant one. It isn't.

[Gromit]

The Mail headline
// FORTY PER CENT of Channel migrants are from ALBANIA - not a country devastated by war of famine - secret military report reveals //

IS NOT TRUE.

It is being used to prove that we are dealing with economic migrants from Europe, and not genuine asylum seekers from Syria and Iraq.

jno, // they want you to think that figure is a constant one. It isn't. //

How do you know that isn't a constant figure now? Are all the boats that came during that period just bring people for their summer holiday?

Gromit, //It is being used to prove that we are dealing with economic migrants from Europe, and not genuine asylum seekers from Syria and Iraq. //

We are dealing with economic migrants from Europe. They're all coming from Europe.

[naomi24]

*bringing*

[Gromit]

Carry on being lied to and spreading those lies.

40% are economic migrants are from Europe is what YOU want to believe even though that is nonsense.

[Bobbisox1]

Gromit they GO THROUGH EUROPE to get here , therefore they are from Europe that they come

[bobbinwales]

Gromit... why are you turning a blind eye to the obvious...there all coming from France and travelled freely across Europe... and have the money to pay smuggler's so aren't destitute either

[Gromit]

Your reading comprehension skills must worse than your mathematics skills.

// A total of 1,075 Albanians crossed the Channel //
// the total number of people to have crossed this year rose to 17,134. // [it is actually over 18,000]

A big big clue there that 40% is really nearer to 5.5%.

[bobbinwales]

Gromit can't read either ( or more likely quotes half a sentence). . It says 1075 in a 6 week period this summer

[Gromit]

bobbinwales
I am not turning a blind eye, you are.
40% are not Albanians, and you are spreading that lie.

18,000 have come via France but they are not predominantly Europeans. For some reason you want them to be. Can you explain why it makes any difference at all ?

[bobbinwales]

Pretty pathetic attempt to mislead there gromit

The Mail headline and this thread title say 40% (4 in 10) are Albanian. It doesn’t state in a six week period.

Changing the nationalities to Albanian from Iraqi serves what purpose ? Why do you want them to be Albanian ?

[youngmafbog]

Gromit is anti British. We see it time and time again, I really dont know why he lives here as we are so bad(nor the other one further up)

[naomi24]

Gromit, It's not a lie. When you say they're coming from Europe, and claim the report to be 'anti-European nonsense', you give the impression that Albania is a member of the EU, sharing European culture and values - but it isn't and it doesn't. Albania is 'European' only in terms of geography. The Albanians are coming here for exactly the same reason as the rest of their fellow passengers. They are economic migrants.

[Gromit]

// bobbinwales Pretty pathetic attempt to mislead there gromit //

You, the OP and the Daily Mail are doing all the misleading. Passing off 5.5% as nearly 40% is what is really pathetic.

[Gromit]

Naomi
I know Albania is not in the EU which is why I said anti Europe and not anti EU.

Do you now accept the true figure is now nearer 5.5% claiming to be Albanian rather than 40%.

[Bobbisox1]

Gromit ,percentages or not,they are coming here to disappear into the crowds from a country that doesn’t persecute them, Ask bliddy Norman Wisdom ….oops he’s dead !

[naomi24]

Gromit, As hard as you may try your smoke-screening doesn't work. The Navy have presented the result of a survey carried out over a specific period of time. Gromit, because he doesn't like their findings, decides they're lying. What are we to think? I know what I think.

[Gromit]

Glad all that is sorted out. I will now leave you to keep spreading the lies.

[Bobbisox1]

Not lies Gromit and they May yet come to a city near you!
