    • Gavin Williamson was accused of 'empty words' after vowing to honour service
    • He said he'd tear up previous policy and give interpreters and families refuge

    People we should be taking in. I am all for much stricter immigration checks but some of the cases you see are daft, doctors who have been working here for years etc.

    Just meeting targets by tackling the easiest cases maybe, they should focus on removing those who are a risk to the public or a burden on taxpayers.

          At the same time, the authorities have turned a blind-eye to returning jihadi fighters. There is nothing that the civil service can't turn into a farce.

                  The only thing that "springs" anywhere near your tiny mind are the miniscule insects that inhabit the dormant organ kept hidden inside that mutton-head of yours.

                    you think there are that many expats we should ban?
