OT Border Control State of Emergency

...gullible...

I'm loving the irony here.

It's probably best for someone like you to stick to 'official' figures. I can assure you that you wouldn't like the reality of this matter, but like it or not you'll find out soon enough.

Your original comment said "Government stats show"

You're so incoherent you don't even appear to know what figures you're referring to. No wonder they're (as I predicted) nowhere to be found.

Good for you.

That's a completely different issue though. EO was claiming that legal migrants, people who entered the county legally, but are not working for whatever reason, cost the taxpayer 50k per year.

Well at least that's what the hugely misleading claim that went flying into social media feeds of EO and like minded gullible chums was talking about. Whether EO is also conflating the two things is also unclear. But the 50k per year false rumour is only related to legal migrants, nothing to do with illegal immigrants.

Do you know what the figure is?

It would still be interesting to see the figures all same.

I wonder what the figure is for 'born and bred' Brits? I only ask because some, who were on benefits when I left these shores in 1999 are still living that life on my return here in 2025. Shocking I know, but many of their offspring also seem to have gone into the 'family' business.

Would they dare release all the figures?

Unfortunately it is a way of life for some.

Oh enough with your fantasies already. We both know that your 'non official figures' don't exist. Otherwise you would save face by linking to them.

Sad but a very typical example of what politics and even science has become. You simply choose to follow the figures and reality that you want to believe, and only follow sources that double down on what you want to believe.

Sorry squire - you ain't worth the pixels.
