Tim Farron, "The unpleasantness about this debate is only matched by the lack of proper information" #BBCQT
"85% of refugees settle in the country next to where they come from"
"The French take 3x more refugees than we do"
"The Germans take 4x more refugees than we do"
"If you put us back in the European Union, we are 19th in the league table when it comes to the number of refugees we take per capita"
"Do we need deterrents? Yes. The best deterrents is competence. If we assess people when they arrive - and they are not illegal immigrants - they are people seeking asylum.. From Sudan.. Afghanistan.. Iran.. Syria.. 90%+ turn out to be genuine refugees"
"If we have a competent government, and we haven't had one, let's see about this one.. And you assess them quickly.. And return the ones that are not refugees"
"That is your deterrent"
"Rwanda was a waste of money.. If they spent that money on case workers we could have processed these people, returned the ones that weren't refugees in a humane way, and let th eones who are genuine refugees, become British, pay their taxes, be part of our country, and we should be proud to admit them"
Very well said @timfarron 👏
Somerset are entitled to pick the team that gives them the best chance of winning each match.
Jack Leach is a better bowler than Bashir and has far more experience of county cricket, so it makes sense that he is first choice. Somerset would love to pick both, but...
(1/5)
Lads, you went into the tournament with no fit left back, no idea who plays in midfield, a half-injured captain and top scorer, and a knackered 21 yearold being asked to hold it all together.
Getting to the final and losing to the best team in the tournament is not actually bad?
🇦🇷 Messi: "At La Masia, his name was mentioned a lot. He is a teacher here."
🇪🇸 Xavi: "He's the best central midfielder I've seen in the last 15, 20 years."
🇫🇷 Thierry Henry: "He's the greatest player in Premier League history."
🇧🇷 Ronaldinho: "I want to pass like him. Who taught him how to do that?"
🇧🇷 Ronaldo: "He’s the phenomenon."
🇪🇸 Pep Guardiola: "Scholes - he is the best midfielder of his generation. I would have loved to play alongside him."
🇦🇷 Diego Maradona: "Scholes' technique is unique."
🇫🇷 Arséne Wenger: "Scholes did not get completely what he deserves as a player because he's not a media lion. He's not one who runs after the media to be in the papers. I respect that."
🇪🇸 Andrés Iniesta: "Paul Scholes is a living legend."
Kids today will never understand how good Paul Scholes was. 😍
We are so lucky to be witnessing utter greatness 🙏
An unfathomable achievement built of unrivalled skill, longevity and absolute dedication 🦁
Congratulations, @jimmy9 👏
