The chances of me using either Deliveroo or Just Eat are slim to the extreme. It's no wonder we have a health crisis if people are even too lazy to get off their sofas to get their fast food fix these days.
You seem to have missed out a letter in that first sentence. Surely it should read 'And while I'm on a troll....'
I know, I know, it makes me absolutely livid. It's the same every time I see a child in a refugee camp in Gaza, Sudan, Somalia or Syria in a Man Utd or Barcelona replica shirt I think, "well the parents can obviously afford to waste their money on official merchandise, so what in the hell are they doing in a camp begging for food". The bloody liberty of it.

I remember the 1980s. I always felt flush. First job, regular salary increases, no kids to drain me of money, but I could still appreciate others were struggling financially as unemployed rocketed. I wasn't one of the one in ten but I didn't trying and deceive myself that they didn't exist. But do you know what kind of person did? Yes you do, don't you.Tis a matter of fact.

Seems like the tories found a very loud dog whistle.
What’s Australia’s policy on illegal immigration then ?
I see, you’re using the Eurovision Song Competition definition of Europe for this purpose then. Including Israel as well then?
From all accounts it's just a really sad story about an economic migrant and his family. He didn't want his daughter to live out a soulless, restricted life in Iraq and was doing everything he could to prevent that. I doubt he would have been successful in claiming asylum in the UK. When you see the way women are treated in some Muslim countries* it possible we may have acted similarly in his circumstance.'I could not protect her': A dad mourns his child killed in the Channel
Ahmed Alhashimi's spoke to the BBC after daughter Sara died when the family tried to make it to the UK in a small boat last week.www.bbc.co.uk
"That time was like death itself. We saw people dying. I saw how those men were behaving. They didn't care whom they were stepping on - a child, or someone's head, young or old. People started to suffocate," said Ahmed, bitterly.
Although Ahmed is an Iraqi, his daughter had never even visited the country. She was born in Belgium and had spent most of her short life in Sweden."
"But I've spent 14 years in Europe and have been rejected," said Ahmed, detailing years of failed attempts to secure residency in the EU after he'd fled Iraq following what he described as threats from militia groups there.
Belgium reportedly denied him asylum by arguing that Basra, his hometown in Iraq, was classified as a safe area. He said his children spent the last seven years staying with a relative in Sweden, but that he was recently informed that they would be deported, with him, to Iraq."
Tragic as the case is............... why has Europe consistently rejected him and he feels we won`t?
Belgium, Sweden, France ............... all safe countries.
