There was a program a while back about a Bulgarian small holder. 

Came to England claimed various benefits whilst driving round in a van everyday collecting and selling scrap. 

Then returned home to collect his pregnant wife to have the baby here followed by further claims for child benefits. 

Has now returned home with over £40000 and bought more land and still receives various benefits. 

 

Yes I remember this as well, the closest my TV had come to being smashed , unbelievable.

There was one company (in France?) that was alleged to be buying them and selling them back to the smugglers (very profitably).

Correct, I'd have checked his ticket for the vacant slot.

There were two of them, very large and I wasn't well enough to demand why the buyer didn't know how to spell the name on the licence, its not my job to check driving licence details.

This conversation confused me for a while. I thought you were talking about a Bettinsoli X-Trail at first. It wasn’t until this post that I realised you meant the Nissan.

I read something interesting today about migration to the US across the border from Mexico. The article was saying that rather than crack down on the crossings, the government would be more successful concentrating on the employers exploiting the illegal employment of migrants. Without employment then the problem would be mostly solved. There was no willingness to do this as the migrants were a lucrative source of labour.

Have a listen  to this French gentleman  talking. Sense about returning the boats back to France.  Drop them on the French beaches. Can they the afford to cross again  , don't think so so can't afford. To cross again. . Does. The people smugglers out of a job. , as they are been sent back all the time Does this then have a knock on effect. Why would they come to France in hopes they can get to the UK.. 

Seems to make sense  to Me could be a win win  for France and the UK

If you apply for PIP there's even a number for "calling from abroad" so presumably you can fiddle the system without leaving the comfort of your own country.

 

...slightly off topic but a couple of years ago there was a story about an Australian Government telephone enquiry line where the message was " To discuss your enquiry in English, press button 1. If you don't speak English, push button 2".

When button 2 was pushed the message was "This is Australia. We speak English. Comeback when you can too. Goodbye".

The UK needs some of that?

Absolutely and it has been being called for illegals arriving here to be immediately removed back to France for a very long time. It is only rubbished by those with an agenda who clearly don't want to stop the boats from coming.

There are very clearly multiple problems to overcome, the problems the USA face with their border is obviously different to ours. The fact we are an island makes it very easy to control our border, the only thing in the way is a lack of political will and a failure of our elected governments of both colours to deliver what has very clearly been voted for, over many decades.

Have you seen the footage of them stabbing each other on the French beach to get a place on a dingy? Jesu, that cannot even wait to get hear before they get all stabby.

 

Ah, I see someone has posted the very same above.

I get the impression (and this is just my impression) that the French authorities have taken the view that one way of reducing the time and numbers of refugees living in 'camps' in northern France is to make life as unpleasant as possible for them.  This seems to involve;

• Very poor facilities with 'slum like' camps (not free hotels like we give)
• Regular 'move on raids' by French authorities on camps
• Turning a blind eye to crime and bullying behaviour when kept within the refugee/immigrant community.
• Generally making that part of France very uncomfortable for them

[Dave-G]

Tents are good enough for them on beaches in France - so let them live in slightly nicer tents on our beaches and nuts to what the wokies have to say about it.
