A bit of a myth, it's believed the number of people who've arrived in boats now exceeds 100,000 and the grand total of people returned under the Dublin Agreement was only 209 (far more have drowned attempting the crossing, than were ever returned).

The one thing the article and countless other debates over immigration, and the housing problems caused by it,fail to mention, is the homelessness we already have in our Country?
This is very true. I saw my old gym teacher the other day and he said he doesn't fancy me at now I've gone through puberty but in 1986 he wouldn't leave me alone.
Willy booth hostel in hull just closed with the loss of 100 beds
Less than 209 have died attempting to cross the Channel - at least of those recorded
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...of-migrant-channel-crossing-deaths-since-2019
More have died crossing the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas
Isnt a large part of the problem of sleeping rough because drug takers and heavy drinkers and those with pets have difficulty getting accommodation meant for homeless people?
55 are known to have drowned between 2019 and now, but there's believed to be others they're not aware of and there's been around 300 who've died trying to cross the channel in the twenty years up to 2019 (though I think they include swimmers who didn't make it, rather than just immigrants).
How come we could manage to process around that many over a decade ago? (most incoming annually up to 2022 was actually in 2002…but they got processed quickly then)
The reason they don’t is that the Govt don’t want to.
Jenrick said that the other day.
They want to hold people for a long time to, in the Govt’s words, make coming less appealing.
That’s fine I suppose, not what I’d do but there is some logic I suppose even though it doesn’t seem to be working does it, but if you deliberately hold people without processing them then you need to put them somewhere…which is where we are now.
We get less coming than we used to (perhaps more this year, we’ll see when the stats are released) but have to spend a fortune housing them because they have decided to do exactly that…knowing the cost.
Some might think it’s also so that immigration is important to more people come election time, but there is no actual evidence of that (unlike the evidence that putting people up in hotels because they deliberately take longer than needed to process them is what they are aiming for)

That walk. Doing his best to style it out.
I wonder how many are economic migrants from the likes of Albania and Rumania, if the processing was up to speed, those could be deported quick smart, as for the rest there will be thousands willing to do the jobs our lazy idle benefit scrounging ukip voting scum won’t do, and when you hear why are they all men? I saw an interview with a very intelligent Syrian, he said it cost him about £3000 to get on a boat, if he can get asylum in the UK he could then bring his wife and kids over, he said it’s far too dangerous and expensive to try get across Europe with them as well.
Processing won’t be ‘up to speed’ because the Govt have decided they want to deliberately delay it…to make it slower than it was a decade or so ago.
Deliberately
By choice
…they want it to be that way
Didnt there used to be flags at the half way line at football matches
not on the touchline but about a yard away
I dont see the point really

To be honest the corner flags serve no real purpose.
Other than to get in the way of the player taking the corner.
And occasionally having a slow ball bounce off back of it into play, when a defender is trying to shepard it out. Which always raises a cheer.
If the flag wasnt there the corner kicker could disguise whether it's an inswinger or outswinger
****ing love this, pity it wasn't his whole hand.

Apart from watching the thick **** getting taught a lesson, I find it as funny as **** that everyone just keeps on filming while it's having a deserved snack and don't try to help him at all.
