As has been said many times, most of these types are simply pious virtue signalling types, desperate to be seen by others as caring and open minded whereas as truth be told inside, they feel the same as the majority, they just won't say as they have dug a hole for themselves in decrying others as far right bigots. 

You can want asylum seekers to be treated humanely and fairly without wanting to share your home with strangers. I don’t have a problem with my tax being used to pay for an asylum system that is fit for purpose, I don’t expect anyone to have to give up rooms in their own home.

Is that pious enough?

That depends on your definition of Asylum seeker. Th young men of fighting age appearing on boats every day illegally are NOT asylum seekers. I don't care how you try and dress it up with wokery or political clap trap. The fact is they are arriving here in masses illegally and should be stopped. I do care about the billions per year being spent on housing them etc. Did you know, that is I return to the UK broke I get nothing. Yet someone can walk in illegally off a dingy and get everything. Fair? No. I don't care what you say, that is disgusting. Talk any whataboutery you want, fact is we should look after own our first and after yes, legitimate refugees. NOT tese illegals coming over to over run our systems. The end.

PS. Don't anyone dare with technicalities, that is all just BS whitewashing of the facts. If I turned up in America, Saudi, India or Thailand (just a few examples) in the same fashion I would be deported. We are a soft touch and that is in part why they are here.

I agree that economic migrants arriving here illegally should be sent back, absolutely. The fact that they are mainly young males doesn’t necessarily mean they are all economic migrants though, could just be because they are more able and willing to make what is a difficult and dangerous journey.

It sounds like someone has been listening to Nigel Farage again. It’s sad that someone with such a great intellect gets sucked in by someone with such a small intellect. “Young men of fighting age?”. Have you ever stopped to think that they are coming here because they don’t want to fight or live in a country where that is the only option if you stay? Perhaps you should try and look past your tribalist instincts and consider that all human beings deserve to be treated as equals? The vast majority of people turning up on these shores are genuine asylum seekers. Just because some aren’t doesn’t mean that all of them should be tarred with the same brush nic. You call me a racist but you are the one who clearly has an issue with “foreigners”.
