It's an interesting discussion, but look at the world - wars and starving in such a lot of places. Our basic law or whatever you call it prescribes that we have to help people in need. However, as someone put it, we can't save the whole world. 
In the 50s and 60s we needed workers, so we looked for guest workers (Gastarbeiter) in Southern Europe and Turkey. Many of them stayed in Germany, others returned to their home countries when they retired. 
Some decades later people living in Russia and other Eastern European countries were allowed to settle down in Germany, if they had German ancestors. 
In 2015 migrants mainly  from Syria and Afghanistan flooded Germany, since  2022 more than a million of Ukrainians sought protection in Germany and our politicians fear that the number of Iranian migrants will increase enormously in the future. In addition we have migrants from Northern Africa.
Sending them back to their home countries is very difficult, as their home countries must be ready to take them back and as far as I know they aren't very keen on doing it. On the other side as per our laws we cannot send someone back to the home country if it is probable that he/she will be pursued there. 
The best way to solve this problem would be to offer them a life that doesn't cause them to leave the home country, but at the moment that's illusory. 
So you see, it's not only a British problem, but it's an European problem, too. 

This is weird.    

It has suddenly started working again on the Laptop.   
I did an extra  scan just to make sure everything was alright, and it said it was.
No idea why it went like that yesterday.

Thanks very much though, Alex.  

Anyone want to borrow the T shirt?

🤪🤪 been there

Have you got a virus checker Mups?  I used to use Malwarebytes, before that it was AVG.  They're free to download, or used to be and they'll check if there's anything odd going on.

Quote from: klondike on Yesterday at 08:03:42 AMThere is talk of the Yanks sending in ground troops. If they do expect it to get worse. They have a very poor record in this sort of thing. Think Vietnam or Afghanistan. That one is the main reason we are getting the dinghy boys years after it ended.in their defeat.

Trump was elected specifically on the promise there would be no more  crap like this.

Most of those dingy illegals come from Africa .
I don't think America has been the cause of any Africans illegal  coming to the U.K. 
AFAIK none came from Vietnam which is a pity in a way as the Vietnamese are hard working intelligent people who seem to do very well in their adopted countries .
I expect there are some from Afghanistan which we could well do without .

A riveting tale Mups, do they have names?🤪

I have been getting a ridiculous amount of spam in my emails for the last few weeks.   Before this, I only got the odd one now and again,  nothing like this.

Anyway, a strange thing happened on my Laptop last night.   I received a notice saying my GMail account had been suspended??    What on earth's that all about?

So I turned my Desktop machine on,  and my  GMail on there is perfectly alright,  so surely the account can't have been suspended can it?

I don't know what to do,  as there is no GMail on my Laptop now?  I daren't use the Laptop at all now,  incase there is something nasty been planted on there.

(This is the machine I just had the new battery fitted a week or two ago).
