    The Home Secretary says the Government is starting a crack-down on illegal working - the Black Economy.

    About time too - this is only about 35 years too late.
    Work in the black economy is one of the magnets that pulls economic migrants to the UK.
    Along with other things like promises of benefits, housing, healthcare etc.

    Sadly I have very low expectations of this Government.
    The 'crackdown' is likely to consist of a few filmed raids for the electorate to see, followed by endless court cases and appeals.
    Ultimately it will fizzle out.
    The problem is now so deep rooted and ingrained in British society that only a radical change of Authority will be able to tackle it.
    In Italy of the 1920's no Government could smash the Mafia until Benito Mussolini rose to power.

    In Britain it will take a similar revolution to dismantle the Black economy.
    The way things are going, there may be one on the way within the next decade.

    The Epping sex pest was given a monkey of our money on his way out.

    Brilliant.

    You couldn't make it up.
    Money taken from pensioners in Winter, and given to sex offenders.
    This Government is a collection of Clowns.
    Practically everyone is now laughing at them.

    Someone came up with the rule to reward crime. There is someone out there who thought it would be right to give a sex pest taxpayers' money.

    How do these people sleep at night?

    After hearing about the £500 given to the sex offender off back to Ethiopia for a quick holiday before heading back our way, I despair.

    Deck chairs,
    Titanic.

    We might as well have a General Election now and get it over with.
    Reform UK landslide, state of Emergency, Martial Law.
    It's coming anyway.
    Why wait for years longer as matters just get ever worse.

    They put them in barracks in Canterbury, but the illegal migrants that were fleeing from war torn countries in fear for their lives moaned about the conditions of them <doh> So they had to stop using the barracks - we’re having our pants pulled down !

    Controlled migration is a good thing, of course. It pays for itself and brings benefits to the country.

    Mass migration wrecks countries. Housing, hospitals, schools, prisons, the welfare state - all gummed up with unneeded migrants costing countless billions. Poor folk are being butchered in the streets.

    The powerful ones know this, but for some warped reason continue to sit on their hands.

    Labour have always wanted the votes from areas with high migrant populations.
    For the same reason they don't want the grooming gangs investigated. They all operate in Labour run areas.

    As far as I know the Conservatives have no excuse.
    I agree with Farage to some extent. He blames Boris Johnson for BoJo's extremely generous open door policy. Cameron & May were no better.
