Strange, is it not, after taking all factors into consideration more illegal immigrants still choose to cross the channel to come to The UK. It cannot be just the language or reasons postulated as some entrenched here (legals and illegals) still prefer not to speak English. I think it is because the UK authorities are less stringent and/or willing to carry out status verification eg immigration checks when stopped (vehicle/etc), at work, a situation, accessing free health or benefit, etc? I believe as they are more immigrants in The UK (legals and illegals) it is much easier to blend in without arousing speculation/suspicion from authorities.
Over the years I have mentioned various stories of the authorities in UK turning a blind eye to people coming in through the channel as well as going out. As far as I know this hasn't changed even today. Since most of these refugees seem to be from south asia, particularly pakistan, blending in is much easier in UK than in Germany or France. And with the strength of the population you have there in UK, it is usually someone in the UK calling his cousins to come over for the free money, hence the need to travel all the way to the UK, crossing the sea, when Western European countries are much easier to access.
I have been saying from day one, back when I was myself working at the border, that people need to hold their own politicians accountable. That hasn't happened, with both UK and Germany selecting the same governments again that were responsible for the whole disaster. You can talk all about how pathetic these economic migrants are, doesn't change a thing. You're just complaining inside a bubble.

He didn't say 100% of the country was racist. He was asked if he thought Britain was still a racist country. He said definitely, 100%. As in he was 100% sure about it.
so how can a country speak ? i'm confused ...Britain has a mouth, ears and a nose ?
... a lot of people have that side to them ...but that's fair enough in a way but best kept to yourself imo ...we haven't got to like what peoiple tell us .... we have our choices with what we like with women for example ...is that discriminating too ?

I've never heard of this Stormy bloke but if his real name is Michael Ebenazer Kwadjo Omari Owuo then he's clearly not English and if he doesn't like it here then he'd be well advised to return from whence he came. I'm sick of foreigners trying to dictate what we should and shouldn't say . I've no idea what message he's trying to get across by wearing a stab vest other than blacks are basically responsible for knife crime.
Croydon?
