Arron Banks has previously released a statement that his contacts with Russia/Russians during the run up to the referendum where limited to ‘one boozey lunch’. He was lying through his teeth. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jun/09/arron-banks-russia-brexit-meeting Edited June 9, 2018 by Chomper Higgot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that cheating is stupid, apart from being dishonest it always gets found out and the damage to their reputation is worse than the fine. The banks do it time after time despite always getting caught out, a sign of collective madness. I remember some Austrian wine merchants doping their wine with antifreeze many years ago it took them years to recover from the scandal.It wasn't expected from such renowned firms as Daimler but stupidity knows no borders.

transam Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 6 hours ago, 7by7 said: I assume that you are referring to Merkel's admission in 2016 that Germany's refugee policy prior to that was a mistake. What that has to do with non EU national illegal immigrants in the UK, only you know. The EU has never had any control over the UK's rules and regulations regarding non EEA immigration, nor any other member state come to that. Neither, of course, has Germany! Whilst non EEA national immigration is, and always has been, a matter for individual member states, although many have combined their rules via the Schengen agreement, it is a fact, acknowledged by many Brexiteers, that one of the reasons whey many people voted Leave was because of non EEA national immigration. Had these people been better educated on the matter, a failing of the Remain campaign, then it is possible the result of the referendum would have been different. However, the horse has bolted, so closing the stable door is pointless. We just have to make the best of a bad decision. Yet again, you put words into my mouth. I have never said that I believe few folk come to the UK illegally. I don't know exactly how many UKVI and Border Force officers are stationed in Calais, so I'll take your figure of 400. But are you sure they all work 24/7? Don't any of them ever sleep? I do know why there are there; because of the agreement between the UK and France and the UK and Belgium for juxtaposed immigration controls: agreements dating back to 1991! Yes, a large number of lorries do cross the channel each day; in both directions and by no means all via Calais. Doubtless some of them do contain illegal immigrants, with or without the collusion of the driver. But, like aright and dick dastardly, you have failed to answer the simple question: if getting into the UK illegally is as easy as you all claim, why are there so many people camped around Calais, and other channel ports, who have failed time and time again to so do? Rather than using the selected programmes you choose to watch in your eyrie 6,000 miles away, I see on the TV and listen to on the radio national and local news and current affairs programmes on this, and many other, matters daily here in the UK. BTW, I have again posted without obtaining permission from either of you; because it is not required! The last I heard the UK had around 1,000,000 foreigners "lost" in the UK, smuggled in, dodgy visas etc. The UK now has 30 immigration police stations dotted around the country to try and catch them and their "cash in hand" employers. They even work to catch "bogus" colleges supplying paperwork to foreigners for visa purposes. Those who come into the UK on these visas can work legally for 20 hours a week, but guess what, many work full time cash in hand with college attendance sorted for a "fee"... You really should watch a few fly on the wall TV programs showing what immigration police have to deal with..."UK Border Force" is a good starter... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
