Ask some of the gtfc staff how many tickets they got.
Why don’t you tell us? I heard someone say yesterday that they’d got tickets ‘by other means’.

So, on that logic the 40,000 that arrived last year will all get jobs in the NHS? Hey, problem solved yey!. Again, that's 40,000 not hundreds as you state. Maybe if we made it attractive to work in the NHS we wouldn't need to recruit from abroad.
Are you a troll or do you just miss the point because these things elude you?

How many poor English people could find £5K - £10K to pay for a boat to cross the channel. Maybe the illegal immigrants have accounts with the Bank of Iran or Barclay Card de Taliban.

Can you all hang on for ten minutes, I've got to nip out for more popcorn.
And make another cuppa tea! Worst than Wimbledon reading this watching the ball going from left to right . Sunday morning catch up on fishy with a cuppa tea UTM Better things to think about the Brighton game is one of them.

This thread is a very clear symptom of the single largest issue that is tearing this country apart.
Impoverished people arriving across the channel in small boats does not threaten this country in anything like the way it has been presented by the media. But that threat is an important tool in managing the discussion and keeping the focus away from the real threat.
The real threat is billionaires and multi millionaires who want to continue making vast sums of money with little or no regulation, who avoid paying tax through their non dom status and ride on the backs of the rest of us. Almost all of the right wing media outlets who peddle the immigration threat stories are owned by billionaires who do not pay tax in the UK. All of these media outlets tell us what it means to be British and what un British looks like and it's no surprise that a significant part of that message is accept the authority of the 'establishment' and don't question what 'we' tell you. Hate foreigners and the EU but don't look at us.
The Conservative party are the vehicle for this in parliament. There should be no surprise that these non dom billionaires went to the same schools and universities as the government and pour money into the Conservative party as this is how they keep the status quo, which works to their advantage. Placing known Conservative supporters in high positions in the BBC is a further act of managing the conversation because the BBC was, up until fairly recently, a bastion of fair reporting and was prepared to question the government. The Lineker affair shows that that is now consigned to history and the BBC must also bow to the billionaire class.
As an aside, Brexit was never about control or the tyranny of the EU. That was the story we were fed. Brexit was always about the change in EU law to non dom tax status and the billionaire class could not tolerate that change. Our country is in it's current state to protect the wealth of the wealthiest in 'our' society.
Moreover, the current government's craven rule flouting, corruption and profiteering comes from a profound sense that they are on the side of the truly powerful and they can do pretty much whatever they want (and an 80+ majority is also very helpful). They are let down by greedy idiots like Mone and Johnson who have no subtly about it and the fact that the old boy network throws up some seriously untalented individuals who get into power because of that network.
The 'little people' arguing amongst themselves about immigration, Brexit and shortages of tomatoes is exactly waht these people want. While we are doing that we can't be looking closely at what the Billionaire class and their enablers are doing.

Absolutely spot on in every detail. Well said!
