The message being sent is clear, come to the UK and you'll get free accommodation and food, free medical and dental treatment on tap, pocket money, a smart phone and driving lessons plus, free legal representation who will contrive to find a way of keeping you in the country, probably using the Human Rights legislation, tell them you're a gay Christian or that you don't like the chicken nuggets where you come from, its easy, these muppets will believe anything!
Take your time though, no need to rush, nothing will change any time soon so you can do a bit of sightseeing in France first and when you decide to come, the French will chaperone you in to UK waters, give you a life vest and then call the UK borderforce to collect you, there will be a follow up call, asking to have the life vests back for the next lot they send over. You can be in a British pub, eating fish and chips and leering at British schoolgirls at a time of your choosing.
