It's sickening how Jess Philips handled herself. She kept interrupting everyone, making snarky comments, and was just so angry through her talking that it was unpleasant to listen to. Everyone else listened patiently and spoke politely. Anyway, did Jess Philips really compare the mass sexual assaults in cologne to a few catcalls on the high street? Disgusting. Feminists seem to go apeshit over rape, until it really happens by anyone who's not a cis gender heteronormative white male, and then it's only as bad as catcalling. 2 women are murdered a week? And how many men are? Oh it's more than that, but you decided not to mention that did you? You're lying by omission. Oh god and your fringe is horrible.

Hours: no additional hours. 10 April 2017, received £25,625 advance payment for a book. Hours: no additional hours.

Without taking a side on the topic of migrants, I am struck by how emotional our politics and discussion of issues has become. Consider the last two big referendums in the UK , Scottish Independence and Brexit. Both fueled by emotional thinking as opposed to facts. In this debate no facts are actually used, numbers stats etc. Every argument is based on what the person perceives as opposed to actual data. Again I'm not taking a side, but how can you make an informed argument on a tv show on such an emotive topic just based on emotional thinking without any reference to any actual data whatsoever.

" i want everyone to suffer the ill effects of migration " Jess PHillips

[@26Karm]

The point is that poorer areas and working class people are expected to bear the brunt of higher immigration. They are expected to make room, while the upperclass and the capitalists suffer naught. As is typical in any recession where the poor and working class suffer under austerity while the banks get billions in bailouts. Hardly fair. It is only fair that we all offer what we can to help people who are suffering, locally or abroad. That means the upper class and big business need to take on their fair share, which would alleviate the pressure on the working class.

“It's always the poorest people in this country who have to suffer the effects of migration” Jess Phillips is talking nonesense again and the crony nodding in support is just as dishonest. MPs know that the reason why the poorest people are the ones who suffer most of the effects of migration is because they live in poor areas where the cost of living isn't so high. When refugees are given somewhere to live, in order to save taxpayers money they are also taken to places where the cost of living is low. Does she have a valid reason for complaining about this policy or is she just trying to rally support from people who like to become outraged without thinking?

A 4 year old in Calais whose heart just gave up? So congenital heart defect then. Or was it a broken heart the musician wanted to write a song about? Maybe record a charidee single, with them as the star?

Why the uk? What’s wrong with France, Germany, Holland? Oh wait... benefits and free housing offered to migrants that’s why. It’s not to ‘seek asylum within the UK it’s to make use of what the uk has to offer them. If they are willing to work then fair enough. But to just simply arrive and expect free housing and benefits and to live off benefits alone is not the right way about it.
