To all those that welcome/encourage the small boat migrants.

I've explained why but Highway Nan doesn't believe that either.

aahh yes, the language. As we are an Arabic speaking country I can see the apeal.

Wonder why they pay 5k to come here if the other options are just as good?

You just wouldn't would you, and lets not forget the danger of losing your life on these boats.

Warships?

Doubt it.

Does he mean coastguard motor boats. I have no idea what the French actually use.

Warships. Have a look on vessel finder or similar. They are shown in red.

The French Navy perform coastguard and maritime policing.

Warships.

Very scary

I hope the Royal Navy are on standby.

we can't send them back - the fatties would starve if they had to walk to McDonalds themselves.

Rotherham Council’s leisure card scheme for watersports, badminton, swimming and gym sessions is cheaper for migrants than locals.
Richmond and Kingston are offering asylum seekers free or discounted access to gyms, swimming pools and classes - while other residents pay up to £52.50 a month

Somebody didn't get the memo.

Madness for people who just arrived here, wonder if france Spain etc offer the same?

Equally what is frustrating is that some members on this forum fail to see the problem and just keep repeating the same old rubbish of we have the lowest number arriving here in comparrison to other EU countries. Well for one, we are not in the EU anymore and two, I don't care how many others are taking, we are a small island and these numbers are large enough to cause concern. Security wise it is a major disaster, lets see those who stood with banners saying "refugees Welcome" change their tune when they turn against us and they will.

Who? Everyone I've read recognises there is a problem. A big one.
