Tory MP praises rich Qataris as ‘right’ type of immigrant, not refugees ‘in rubber boats’



Mr Wiggin – who recently declared a Qatar-funded £2,740 trip to the country, in the Commons register – then added: “We want Qataris. We don’t want people in rubber boats.”

I'll tell you what this country really doesn't need more of.

Vile, self-serving, pro-hunting, multiple expense-fiddling, foreign-owned mouthpieces like the MP for North Herefordshire.

The arguments for and against economic migrants have naff all to do with humanitarian crises. Except if you are trousering cash.

What an utterly vile human being.

For me, the "wrong" type of migrant is the "non dom".

https://www.taxjustice.uk/tax-takes-9.html

This is someone who wants the best of both worlds. British residence-but not British domicile.

People who don't pay the tax an equivalent British person pays. Often, not even at the rate you pay.

A lot of the richest people in the UK are non doms. Billionaires. Footballers with "image rights". People who have foreign-owned Trusts to avoid having UK "income".

Me? I welcome our fair share of immigrants who are oppressed (which, IMO is a lot more than we do at the moment).

And various economic migrants-provided the wealthy pay their fair share.

To us, the taxpayer. Not greasing the palm of an MP.

Absolutely appalling that he should say this. Especially at a time when Europe is experiencing the increase in refugee migration due to the war in Ukraine,

What a despicable little ****.

How can people like him ever get elected?

Do people in other countries assume that we all think like this?

Worse.

They think we look up to, and elect as our leaders, people who think like this. For the simple reason that we do elect such people.
