    It is the UK governments fault...not France, Europe or the immigrants.   If the government closed down and arrested the people running the sweat shops, farmers basically using slave labour,

This can not be the case, otherwise why are they not settling in even numbers across all of Europe? 

 

Something is attracting then to the UK above all other European countries. What is it?

 

My brother also works for a charity helping many of these immigrants and I can tell you first hand they get exploited in sweat shops and are basically slaves. 

 

I don't know how you can think many and wealth and a benefit to the UK. They are a benefit to illegal activities and unethical people and the authorities turn a blind eye. 

 

As their applications to get processes that takes years and they appeal when they are refused, and again takes more delays. All this time they are either being used as slaves or being houses, fed and given money and charity. 

"All this time they are either being used as slaves or being houses, fed and given money and charity."

 

Yes, my money! So why let them in in the first place? Why aren't they turned back to France for them to deal with? France is a perfectly safe country where they aren't under threat.

No they arent. They are incorrectly calked illegals as an emotive call.

 

They request asylum, so until they are found to be refused asylum they are legal.

Then why didn't they request it in one of the safe countries they passed through. Is France not a safe country? This is a rhetorical question, but your post needs it.

This subject is always a hot potato and just ends up with both sides shouting at each other.  Neither side will convince the other that they are right because neither side will believe that they are wrong.

 

There will always be those who hate the fact that Britain is a multi-racial country that is compassionate when it comes to asylum seekers and those who wholeheartedly embrace it.  I have a wife from Asia and we live in  Britain with our half caste son.

 

Ironically this board is full of immigrants to Thailand who have Asian wives or partners and many have their own half caste children.  And they have the nerve to complain about immigrants in their home countries.  Hypocrites! One and all. 

There are no foreign immigrants to Thailand as far as I know. Maybe women married to Thais and a few who've been granted residency. Most of us are on a twelve month visa, extended annually at the whim of the Thais. I too am married to a Thai, but if I wanted to take her to the UK to live, I'd do it through the proper legal channels. I'm sure that illegal migrants make it more difficult for the genuine ones to enter. They're similar to queue jumpers in my mind.

I snipped your rant. Lobby your MP to update HMG refugee / asylum seeker law, exit the UN Convention for Refugees etc.

  Needs no UN Convention for Refugees,the scum have by-passed that by window shopping,you think the UK will observe any convention  lol  lol  binned

jesimps, post92, hello,

 

That is very true, France is a safe country for all the scum of the earth.
Undocumented migrants and asylum seekers march through the streets with impunity, they ransack churches, burn them on occasion, slaughter priests, steal, assault, stink firefighters and law enforcement, and file complaints. against them, when a firefighter has the audacity to put out a car fire or against the police officers who have also had the misfortune of pinning them to the ground, for spitting, rebellion, and so on.

The difference being that I have the funds to support my wife and daughters, and yearly have to prove that I have those funds.

I believe you HMG is going to de-ratify UN Convention for Refugees - if in fact you did send a letter it would be the rubbish bin.

Might have to question how many of the migrants getting into the UK are the poor defenceless women described here, and how many are from the 'fourteen men' between her legs. It seems to be mainly fit young men getting in, not defenceless women. 

https://www.unhcr.org/women.html

How does posting a link about a charity organisation relate to my point? My point being that most of the migrants are young fit men rather than the vulnerable women you referred to. 

Perhaps you can highlight the bit in your link that is relevant.

Don't mean to be picky, but 'half caste' is a term very much frowned upon these days. Better use 'mixed race' going forward if you don't want to be called the R word.  

Ministers are considering blocking migrant boats in the Channel before they can enter British waters in an increasingly desperate effort to stem the rising number of crossings.

The approach, modelled on Australian tactics used against migrants from Indonesia, could involve the Royal Navy and Border Force intercepting vessels as they leave French waters.

 

 

Let them enter British section,so what?  a slow puncture would give them little pause for thought,paddle like hell,back to France

Yes, that is what I am saying. But we would not have to be turning any back if they did not want to come to the UK in the first place. We are seen as the dream destination for most of this group of people. They know the UK government is a soft touch. They know they can delay and delay again the paperwork and appeals. They know they will be housed, clothed, fed, provided with spending money for phones and smokes, get free health care, get money for not working, or get help finding a job. All these are the ones we see. Then there are the ones that are living 10 plus to a small room in a run down house, having to work for basically nothing and having no rights...while the authorities turn a blind eye as they are not capable of sorting out the people the may rescue from this...and they are indeed a benefit for cheap labour.

No. 
 

It is enough to know it is false to claim most refugees are young men.

They look suspiciously similar to natives of the countries devastated for centuries by European colonial imperialism.  It's going to be hundreds of years fixing the mess the Euro's left behind.

You're right. They're not refugees they're illegal immigrants who turn up unannounced in droves (4000+ already this year & 48k in hotels around the country according to HO admission under FoI)) without being suitably screened (health?security?) and expecting taxpayers () to pick up the tab :blink:
