I'm just glad it wasn't Diane Abbott on that stool.

Please stop that.

I naturally assumed that attention seeker / jungle headline was something about eating bugs in the Australian Jungle

Another celeb I can add to my ignor list.

I removed my post. I put it on as a bit of banter in response to something else but realise that it was a bit near the mark. Also the side adverts in it were too much.
Genuine apology - from me not on behalf of the nation !
Thank you gentlemen

Yes, and once you've seen the growler it's difficult to erase it from the memory!

what a goppin' bit of kit she is.

What a dozy dhead.

In the video she says 'I'm sorry for what we [my country] have put you through' - WTF

The one thing that nobody seems to have mentioned is the fact the father apparently lives in B'ham. Shouldn't she be apologising on his behalf for leaving his child in that state?!? I don't have kids but 2 rescue dogs and I hate being away from them for more than a few days, why would anybody leave their child behind?!? They will argue that they are so desperate they have no choice and that is utter rubbish. Wouldn't you want to make sure your child is ok no matter what the circumstances.

I was going to make the obligatory joke about Birmingham and suggest the youngster may be better off in the Jungle. But I won't.

Maybe they should play her screeching drivel very loud in the Calais camp to discourage anyone wanting to come here!!

[selym]

The French and indeed every country they transit through to reach that camp should be apologising for not doing 'their bit'. Lily fking Allen doesn't speak for me.

Its an incredibly sad and desperate situation at the human level, its just a shame celebrities can ride the wave of emotion and spend their cash when they get home and wash the 'emotional grime' off.

Apologises for what? It's their choice to live in that awful camp.

What made you choose to live in the UK?

I heard one interview that stopped me in my tracks last week. An Eritrean was asked what the motivation was for him and his family to get to London. His answer was "you have running water in English homes".

Yep, Sky news, isolated quote, they still don't all deserve to come here etc, etc...It makes you think though.

They have running water in French homes too. And every other country in the EU that they have transited.

And that point is missed by every apologist who seem to think it's our problem.

Aside from very recent events, which seem to be resolved/resolving, even Aleppo has running water.

If you were fluent in English and couldn't speak French, where would you head for?
