Definitely not wrong especially when it's true. Censorship at its best by the SNP

I'm a fan of "Swarms" personally... But I go with whichever causes the most butthurt from the left.

Murders... Murders is a great word, we should use it more often.
"A murder of migrants arrives in Heathrow"... Can't see why it could be confusing.

Schoolboy error. Everyone knows a migrant is both a particle and a wave until observed!

Alternatively, we could be using other interesting terms such as a "Deceit", a "Pitying", or an "Unkindess" of migrants. I think that I would love to hear that a "Parliament" of migrants has just arrived on our coastline though

...So says the SNP's Equality Spokesperson. Note the quote is actually "...and absolutely wrong", but I couldn't fit it

Can anyone suggest other terms to use? I clearly need to update my Political Correctness Dictionary :smile:

Waves of people?

Or is there some newspeak term you've come up with?

Maybe you should keep your boring self-righteousness to Tumblr.

I pity your ignorance

You're the one who's ignorant. You see all these photos in the news and guess what? They're always men wanting to enter countries from camps and clashing with police at borders. Why is that? It's cause the migrants aren't fleeing for their lives/ They're all economic migrants who want to enter europe. The men go on ahead to enter europe and when settled they call for their wives to be allowed in.

If migrants were genuinely fleeing for their lives they would all stay in Turkey where its safe. Migrants who make dangerous crossings to europe have blood on their hands. the picture of the boy washed up on the beach is the fault of his greedy parents who made the journey when they were safe. His parents killed him.

Britain should build a big wall and keep all these migrants out. The migrants don't deserve to be in britain. We should just let them drown in the med and the channel to teach them a lesson. They're not welcome in europe.
