Well it is around this area,I know when I had mine done the chap doing it said ‘if you can trace your family back to the 1800s in the Tendring Area you are all related ‘ 😎 If you watch those ‘who do you think you are ‘ programs it’s a result and a rarity to go back to the 1700s. Yet your lot came across in 10 something. [Post edited 20 Feb 8:37]

| The split in the far-right vote on 08:25 - Feb 20 by Herbivore | You've never been right on anything, Chickers. It's why you're widely ridiculed. I've responded to your other points already and you have been selective in responding to my own points because it's evident that anything you can't cut and paste a response to from the Mail Online is beyond you. Have a good day, mate, and maybe spend some of it reflecting on who it benefits for you to have such antipathy towards asylum seekers that you'd spout the kind of nonsense you've spouted on this thread. |
All independent thinkers face ridicule babes, but I don’t care what anyone else thinks and I don’t play to the gallery. Herd mentality has always been beyond me. I always have a good day. |  |

| The split in the far-right vote on 07:33 - Feb 20 by JackNorthStand | What are your thoughts on allowing asylum to be applied for, whilst outside of the UK? Changing the process as it currently is. Would this have a positive effect on discouraging people to enter the UK illegally on small boats? |
We should allow people to claim asylum as close to their country of origin as possible. It should be a globally agreed system to help people get out of countries like Afghanistan, or get out of countries that are collapsing. If you want to stop gangs, like any supply chain, stop it at source. Try and help fellow humans as quickly as you can. |  | |  |

No all independent thinkers aren’t ridiculed. There have been plenty of independent thinkers that have moved science, medicine forward. The doctor responsible for one of the big jumps in treating childhood leukaemia wasn’t ridiculed, he made a compelling case that the orthodox methods weren’t working. You haven’t come up with some original thought, lots of people, like Benters say the same things. But it does make me laugh when a person that works in shipping and in ships specifically, explains why something can’t happen, but the opinion of someone whose experience of waterways extends to checking the level of rainwater, is seen as an “independent thinker” just like you. You are just in a different herd. |  | |  |

Border force won’t be picking up every little boat. It’s not possible. When I had to do SAR for 4 boats carrying migrants it was damned difficult, and that was in an open sea area. The English Channel is a different kettle of fish. To think that the Navy could patrol the English Channel and pick up every small target is daft. I’m telling you that from experience, having sailed through the English Channel many times. |  |

Clearly it is possible to pick up some (I’ve never said it is possible to pick up all of them now). They do it all the time. So it becomes a question of resources, as perhaps you are alluding to when you mention planes. |  |

i suspect it's primarily a question of risk - specifically political risk. if someone was to drown during an intervention like that - and the risk is high - the government would be blamed and the policy would be unsustainable. no home secretary would survive it. |  |

politically there's a huge difference between doing it because the boat isn't safe to reach shore, as now, and doing it as part of an explicit deterrence strategy. |  |

Well on a TV show they don't really have the time to go back too far. And it does obviously take a lot more research (and expense). My uncle was doing it for decades. You seem to be doubting me, but it would be a weird thing to make up. He actually got back as far as 1038 I think (he was telling me at my dad's funeral). Certainly before they came over, but then records are even harder to trace for someone in the UK. |  |

Anyone can think "independently". That doesn't make it good or worthwhile thinking. I think if the herd mentally were to be decent, respectful and empathetic to others then that would be a good herd to follow. |  |

how about we all just accept that views that are different to our own are honestly and legitimately held and do not imply any moral or intellectual failing. then we can just discuss stuff cos we're interested in it rather than trying to prove who's the better person. radical eh. |  |
