  3. I feel like knowing which way they are crossing matters here…

  4. Meanwhile the media obsess over winter fuel allowance nonsense

    The cost of this is magnitudes higher yearly

  5. Do the french do anything about migrant along the their coast waiting to cross the channel? You’d think they’d notice 1000 per day, wouldn’t you?

  6. happy to see british people accepting these poor people and giving them opportunity to star a new life

  11. Perhaps our Royal Navy could put itself to use patrolling and towing them back to France.

  12. Don’t worry, Starmer will react to this by putting even more restrictions on legal immigrants.

    Those Filipino nurses have abused the system for far too long /s

  13. A billion a month now.
    The UK might have to remortgage

  14. Just Brexit things. Thanks Unionists! This is **all** on you.

  15. I’m sure that cuts on skilled workers will deal this this issue 😉

  16. Our country is being destroyed one boat crossing at a time.

  17. How can they stop it? Sensible adult answers only.

  18. Another £400,000,000 in lifetime costs for the British tax payer to pay….

  20. Why aren’t they sent immediately back? I don’t understand why we allow illegal immigrants onto our shores. They’re breaking the law and do not deserve any rights in our country.

  21. More highly skilled and highly educated people to enrich England.

  22. Regardless of how you look at it. That’s more and more people the government will now be responsible for and more money that will be needed to contribute to supporting a select few (through no actual merit) just because they wanted a better life just for their individualistic selves only.

    It’s not sustainable when the country is already struggling to support those already here. When do you stay enough? When they’re all homeless in the street and people have to turn makeshift homes in random fields and it turns into a humanitarian issue just being here? Being homeless in most European countries is just not the same as being homeless in developing countries which likely have better weather and it’s more possible to just build a home where you like due to no planning permissions. 🤷‍♀️

    You can argue that billionaires should be taxed more and yes I agree hoarding wealth should not be allowed but at the same time, even if it wasn’t allowed there would still be a physical limit of people who are in poverty and have nothing that a country can technically support.

    You can’t just accept everyone, what’s the point when you’re just shifting populations around. Why not improve the countries they’re coming from 💀

  24. Not remotely racist here…but can this keep going on?

  25. Why are we not locking the Channel down? We need to be delivering them back to France.

  26. The french are basically selling the boats at the shore and giving out snacks for the trip
