Oh dear, young Reginald. Let's recap. Here's what I said:
"Well, it's not 1938 but no, I wouldn't. Like I said above - I have no problem with GENUINE cases."
You seem to be a bit slow on the uptake today (well - slower than usual). So allow me to spell it out for you:
(1) The "I wouldn't" bit means "I wouldn't" have advocated sending Jewsih children back in 1938.
(2) The "I have no problem with GENUINE cases" bit refers to me not having a problem with genuine asylum cases - NOT that I have no problem with, say, statuesque Nordic blondes with 22" waists and 42" tits (although truth to tell, I don't have a problem with them either !wink!).
There you go - point answered. Clear now? It wasn't really that difficult to understand now was it?
As to the rest of your post, well - you obviously have a hard-on for scrounging economic migrants and would rather taxpayers' money be spent on them than on people who've actually contributed something but hey - that's your look-out. Why should I care?!

What's the problem with Gurkhas?
Update on the campaign
Folks here's an update on the campaign for anyone interested.
I think Joanna is a little naive in her views of Green Dave and Mr Clegg, it's a camera opportunity but every little helps:
Thank you so much for your support of the Gurkha Justice campaign. We are overwhelmed by the support the campaign is receiving.
As you may know, on Friday, the Government badly let down the Gurkhas. The new rules they have announced will exclude the huge majority of ex-Gurkhas who retired before 1997 from claiming citizenship in this country. They've given five bullet points that virtually cannot be met by the ordinary Gurkha soldier.
It is so obvious that the treatment of the Gurkhas has been a great injustice. To treat them like this is despicable.
The strong reaction by the public and press should show the Government that they simply cannot get away with this outrage.
I'm ashamed of our adminstration. We will be challenging this decision in the courts and in Parliament. We will not stop now.
This is not a party political campaign: it's simply one for justice. I am so grateful though for immediate support from MPs from all Parties, including amongst others Conservative leader David Cameron and Lib Dem Leader Nick Clegg.
Nick Clegg has agreed to put a vote to Parliament this Wednesday calling for a fair deal for Gurkhas. This vote on its own won't change the Government's ruling, but would be an overwhelming signal to the Government that they need to think again.
We need all MPs that support the Gurkha justice cause to turn up and vote for a proper deal for Gurkhas on Wednesday. Can I ask that you take a couple of minutes right now to ask your MP to do so?
You can send a message to your MP directly at - please ask them to support the Gurkha Justice motion on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, there will also be a Gurkha Justice rally and protest against the Government's decision, starting at noon in Old Palace Yard, Westminster. Many MPs have already committed to support the vote and join me and others at the rally. I know it's awfully short notice, but if you can, please do come along as well to add your support.
If you can pass on this message to others as well that would be fabulous - and if they sign up to www.gurkhajustice.org.uk we can keep in touch with them directly in future.
Lastly, again, thank you so much for your support. It means so much to us. I spoke today to Lt Madan Kumar Gurung, who has been at the forefront of the campaign since it began. He said to me that he has no fear for the Gurkhas any more, as he knows the loving hearts of the British people will not let them down. With your support we won't.
With warmest good wishes,
Joanna
So you can either moan on a forum or do as the campaign asks and get your MP to support the motion on Wednesday.
I know what I'll be doing for the reasons already given.
