  1. Hopefully they safely got away from the war in France.

  2. Lots of fighting-age men valiantly fleeing and leaving wives and children behind…

  5. Just in time for a January emergency budget tax rise, for us to pay for all of these fighting age men to flee the war in France

  6. I’m not sure what’s more pathetic, these kind of posts or the comments on these posts.

  7. Seems crazy, given the political climate you would have thought the government would be doing everything it can to get grip on this. What makes this such a hard problem to solve? 

  9. And many more bone idle UK residents sat on their arses claiming benefits

  10. I’m glad the adults are back in charge and smashing the gangs

  11. I thought the Home Sec was tough on this?.. or is it only words

  14. I did some calculations and if another part of the military was employed, other than the navy, then the cost of preventing an illegal immigrant entering the country would be around £3750 per head – that’s a one time cost as that immigrant will no longer be entering the country, ever.

    Two or three days of such activity will effectively stop them dead in their tracks. They won’t dare to send anybody else over. So for around 5 to 7.5 million the entire problem will be solved. Far less than we’re paying at the moment, and no new entries.

    Of course people would have issues with the methods employed to produce this result.

  15. I’m going to get off Reddit tomorrow until after Christmas because it’s too depressing reading about this constant invasion that we don’t have the balls to stop

  16. It will never end. I see today they’re trying to encourage people to make use of the eight million spare bedrooms in family homes to house them lol.

  18. Just stop them in the channel, they can build waterworld-esque rafts and hang about in no mans land

  20. So glad my taxes are going up to pay for Mohammed and Abdul. They fully deserve their free NHS prescriptions, bed and board, free trips to zoos and museums, and then a house with indefinite universal credit payments

  21. > A Home Office spokesperson said: “The number of small boat crossings are shameful and the British people deserve better.”

    If only there was some office that could do something…
