These immigrants that were dumped in London...

[gremlin]

Am I the only one thinking, 'Fuck me, you've traipsed across half of Europe, crossed the Channel in a Donut rubber ring, and you're complaining about being stranded in London...'?

I can recall a few nights kipping on a bench waiting for the first train home.

I don't think the immigrants were complaining as such, rather it was other people complaining that the home office had fucked up again.

I'd hate to be in London too

They'd have complained if they knew they were going to end up in Norwich!

As I understand it most of them didn't complain. Those who have family and friends in the UK were quite happy to be given a free pass to head off wherever they wanted, where they could sink under the radar.

That's the thing, the EU is so good, they enter the EU, the EU doesn't want them and they too decide that Britain is better, so they leave the EU to come to Britain.

What a time.

There are more asylum applications in the EU than in the UK ... in fact we get less applications than France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

And it was exactly the same when the UK was in the EU.
Except now you can try and spin it into an EU thing.

[Ant]

But but but but you but you but we were in the EU and it happened,

But we're not in the EU now and they can't wait to leave the EU

Perhaps they felt they should have been tucked up in a nice cozy 4 star country hotel like these were?

Mate of mine is a cabbie up in town. A few years back he told me about a bloke he'd had in the back and they'd had a good conversation about all sorts. The bloke was Romanian and the subject turned to immigration. Apparently the UK was (probably still is) known in Romania 'The Golden Isle' as once you got there, no matter what, you had a guarantee of decent money and virtually no chance of being deported.

It's desperation though, nothing else. If your going to risk your life!
