I know they are short of truck drivers but will the UK public accept 20000 Afgans?
Has anyone heard from Farage?

Second attempt :lol:
I should have been clearer in my first post.
If you were a Brexit supporter and wanted Britain for the British they surely cannot be happy with the prospect of more foreigners arriving.

I was against Brexit.

According to the UN refugee organisation, 80 odd % of those trying to flee the country are women and children so someone's got to do something. I read that the UK are going to take in 20,000 who are eligible for UK assistance, but they can only take 5000 a year - what on earth is going to happen to the other 15,000 while they're waiting. 'tis a deplorable mess - hopefully after the garbage that was spewing from Johnson's mouth yesterday, the grown ups in the conservative party will get rid of him and put in someone who might possibly be able to help the rest of the world sort this mess out.

As for Faridge I haven't heard from him personally, but, I believe he's mouthing off on that new so called news channel that Andrew Neil's got something to do with - can't remember what it's called.

Neither was I Steve, but it is not internal politics for that very reason, it affects us all who want to maintain our incomes, our family ties and our freedom of movement.

I thought it was Labour Party Policy . . . or does that imply they won't be elected in our lifetime?

They changed that one and followed Team Boris to try and get some more voters.
