So that is what we pay the French three quarters of a billion pounds a year for.

We have watched the French Coastguards handing out lifejackets to them and then having them handed back once the uk coast guard picks them up so they can be used again. The only time we see the frogs making an effort is when a film crew turn up. Macrons stitched us up again and weak starmer has given up " Smashing the Boats " He has more or less just given up. This year has exeeded records so far with 25 thousand arriving so far, it is predicted to be around 50 thousand this year. Thats not counting the 100 thousand Afgahns expected soon. Wonder where there going to housed.

I suppose they could start by kicking pensioners out of there homes. Pensioners don't need 3 or 4 bedroom houses and Labour hates pensioners. There are droughts in the UK now due to under investment storage and losses due to leaks in the system. There was an article on the BBC today asking why do we need more reservoirs. How about the population growing by 8 million every decade just through legal migration. Next it will be shortage of housing. The NHS can't cope, unemployment is rising etc etc. Regarding the Afghans, we were there supporting the US. How many are the US taking? There were 19,000 Afghans supporting the UK but at its peak 10,000 UK troops. So for every UK military person there were two Afghans, doing what exactly?

Macron is wrong.

 

I'll just point out the Sangatte Camps from the late 90 through 2010

 

Whilst the UK was part of the EU.

 

The blame falls squarely on the shoulders of Mutti Merkel with her " Come one come all " followed up by " Come on Europe, we can do this "

 

It started in 2015 under Merkel, a year before the Brexit vote.

They’re all wrong ! They can’t stand up against the Human rights laws. They all contributed to making Britain sink ! The British people want , and always wanted, it to stop. No government British or EU has. It will get worse. 

Simple Question, the do -gooders welcoming the illegals here in the UK's main answer is all the tired lame excuse " These poor people are fleeing wars and hardships " Once they arrive in France there in a safe Country ? so why do they want to risk there life in a rubber dingy to cross the English Channel ? give us a good reason.

Exactly, the first safe county is the one where they should claim asylum. Although I would question that France if the first safe country they they reached. Any EU country should be as safe as the next one. Which countries did the go through to get to France?

This, in a nutshell, explains the situation, at least from the UK side.

 

The Armies of Yuman Rites Parasites, have the people in power, either working for them , Starmer and Hermer, being the 2 obvious candidates. Or terrified of opening their mouths and speaking out, as to do so, gets you immediately branded as XRW.

 

Poor little Asylum Seekers

Now if that is not grounds for ripping up any asylum claim, and deporting faster than you can say " You're out " then the UK has gone beyond the point of no return.

Did you notice that before the Rwanda scheme was abandoned and illegals were hopping across the boarder to Eire. The Irish simply sent them back to the UK. Why didn't Britain adopt France's approach, your problem now Ireland.

What are you on about? You didn't ask me anything.

I deleted my answer because I had two tabs open and typed my reply in the wrong one. I typed it in here instead of the reply to another poster in another thread. You can't delete posts so I deleted the content and said I edited it because it was the wrong thread. Hope that helps explain.

However if there's something you want to ask me go ahead. I actually respond to direct questions rather than running away, it is what discussions are supposed to be about - not just saying you're not replying because you disagree with what was said.

No body wants to discuss topics with you anymore Joebloggs your a disruptor and turn members away.

Starmers latest nonsense. He has come up with a plan to " Sanctions " to stop gang masters, small Boat owners that supply gangs to use to ship the Migrants over the Channel, there going to freeze there assets wow. Patrick Christie the GB News reporter went to Calais yesterday and faked a meeting with a few gang bosses, he passed  the information and video to the French Authoroties to arrest them in Calais. Nothing is done but there happy to keep taking the british tax payers millions to stop them.
