      While I don’t know your racial euphemisms, “small boats” raises red flags. Maybe it’s not racist, but ….

          Like I said, I don’t know your euphemisms and usage, but ……

          It’s racist when we mean those people. They’re all criminals and druggies and queue jumpers. And you know they’re mostly x. Not like the good ones from Scandinavia that fly in. Those are not the problem.

          It reminds me of a term we have here: wetbacks. There are still some idiots who try to claim it’s just descriptive of people who swam across the rio grande river. But we all know it’s those people from south of the border with the darker skin. They’re all illegal, drug smugglers, will rob and rape and steal our jobs. And somehow use up our healthcare and social security that they can’t collect. Even if there was a chance it was descriptive in the beginning, it’s clearly racist and it’s clearly exploited by our Regressives to drive fear and outrage. If there’s anyone who still supports the abuses of our current immigration enforcement thugs it’s because of how successfully that term has been demonized

          And this is why allowing people like Charlie Kirk is dangerous. We’re used to saying that people have a right to voice their opinions but the modern world has made it easy to influence millions with the most abhorrent opinions and to escape consequences of voicing them. The modern world rewards with success those who exploit divisiveness, outrage, haired, and we haven’t been able to get past that. He shouldn’t have been shot but in an ideal world would have been shunned and exiled, left alone in ignomy

            Difference is that mexico has cartels and stuff. France doesn’t. Stop trying to apply your American logic over on us. The Chinese have a term for this. “A frog in a well”. Except maybe you lot are more obnoxious than that anyway. Deal with your own problems and stop trying to poke your nose in others, imperialist yank. Your country has caused enough problems on the world stage. A number of weeks ago one of your racist billionaires was trying to meddle with our society by making speeches in London. We don’t want anything to do with you lot.

        So desperate to get out of France? Or so desperate to have a holiday?

        People ride the roofs of trains for fun, or climb construction sites/buildings. You don’t have to be desperate to do something dangerous.

        Size doesn’t matter. As long as they get their passports checked
