    If fifty of us entered France illegally in a dinghy from the UK, how would France and the EU react? You'd probably be marched to a station in front of a gendames' machine gun and put on the first Eurostar back to Ashford. Forget Rwanda, we have to follow Australia's lead here. Enough is enough.

    £ 6.8m per day and rising for the Hotel costs.
    78% of them are young males from Albania.
    When they come in put them straight back on a plane back to Albania, there's no war or famine there

    ‘For the sake of our national security, we must control our own borders. We can only do this by leaving the European Union’

    Nigel Farage, January 2016.

    Any Brexit voter feeling conned yet?

    It’s time the armed forces should patrol our shores and tow all these dinghies back to France. Many in this country are starving and can’t afford heating bills and taxes keep rising! Is there any wonder why there’s resentment! Yes to skilled legal immigration but no to illegals.
    As per all of our political back and forth, my point to you is you are making the wrong comparisons. Immigrants are not the reason why heating bills, taxes are rising and people here are starving.

    Those responsible for many of the original ills you correctly claim are happening in this country, are the ones who need a scapegoat and perpetuate the type of comparisons that you are making.

    Cutting foreign aid for example, will only support further immigration. We have dog whistle politicians like Suella, Boris, Patel who care only about their personal ambition and public image - without actually attempting to resolve these complex issues. Tories Out.

    Don’t disagree with you but the point about our own people who are starving and can’t afford heat brings about resentment that illegals are being let in at the tax payers expense. Patrol the waters with armed forces and tow any dinghy back to France. It’s a EU problem and let them deal with it! Many in this country are sick of it!!! Try getting into the US or Australia illegally? You can’t!!

    We need to be cruel to be kind so send all the
    f uckers to Rwanda!! If they really want to get into the U.K. they won’t mind being processed in Rwanda for skills to see whether they can offer our country anything!

    We presently have 35,000 arrivals into this country who we are either housing in camps or paying for stays in hotels and guest houses.

    What is wrong with France or many other Eu countries if you wish to relocate?

    Why leave a safe country like France and risk terrifying passage to to the U.K.?

    Handouts and it’s a fact!!! Before being processed they should be made to do all the jobs the Brits won’t do - cleaning - picking fruit - s hit jobs etc. I was brought up with the saying - there’s no such thing as a free lunch!

    Once processed and they can stay they should be made to undertake two years of military service and swear an allegiance to King and Country!

    Surely France could say the same to Germany, who could say the same to Switzerland. By your logic every asylum seeker would be in Greece or Italy. Is that fair on those countries?

    Incorrect. You get no more in welfare/benefits in the UK than you do in any western EU country.

    It’s costing us millions to pay hotel bills etc for these arrivals.

    They’ll pay an Albanian £20k for a dingy ride though!

    Same old story, 80% of these arrivals seem to be young men.

    If I decide the U.K. or Eu is “dangerous” what do you think my islands of choice Australia or NZ would say when I rocked up in a dingy?

    Exactly.

    It’s a p I s s take.
