Record number of people cross Channel to UK in small boats in 2022 - arrivals soar by 60% in a year

Our Tory government gave them all hotel accommodation, fed them. Gave them spending money & free dental and healthcare. Is it any wonder they are queuing up on the beaches in France?


Boris Johnson, Elizabeth Truss, Rishi Sunak, Priti Patel & Suella Braveman all MIA

Any one concerned about immigration was labelled a racist for at least a decade nobby. The wokie Guardian types did it on here, though not much any more as reality bites. I hope those doing the labelling are happy with the state of place. We are finished, give it up.

the demographics will dictate -  300/20,000 should tip it.  Parts of cities have already gone.

'Take back control of our borders, that's what people voted for in Brexit'

And they were betrayed, what's new.

It's nothing to do with any government, this is happening the world over. Remember the stupid conspiracy theory, a one world government? If we really wanted to stop these boats we could do in a heart beat, sadly they are being welcomed here with open arms. The new normal is nigh

Why are people concerned , millions of people have migrated
to England over the last few decades . Let them get on with it

Couldn’t give two hoots if a million arrive next year

They will continue to arrive until the standard of living here is no better than where they come from.

Why not 50 million more in 2023, sounds like a great idea?

Timber you do realise de facto this is what has already happened ?
London , Englands capital is now a majority ethnic majority city ..
Too late .

I live in hope that a far right govt will eventually get in

Hold fast you sons of albion!

SNC  ,when all else fails, regurgitates the regretable number of mostly , young male economic migrants ,as an argument against Brexit.
When of course if you are able to think it thru ,it is the opposite.
True the hoards in dingies persist but they arrive  after great difficulty ,with few rights and dubious claims.
Previously,when in the EU ,legal young economic migrants waltzed in hourly at Stanstead etc,with full rights to health ,benefits ,housing ,schooling......from Bulgaria/lithuania/Romania (random pick from 27) ,unchecked ,unrecorded ,often unskilled ,risk free ,instant residency.....their numbers not in tens of thousands.....literally MILLIONS.
So full control has not been achieved but maybe shut the floodgates,certainly.

Nobrot doesn't deal in facts, he's just another anti British loser

15k Albanians and a further 30K unrecorded nationality ,OR............
Total open house ,open borders to absolutely anyone of the 0.4 Billion population of the EU ,to come and go, and their dependants ,whenever suits them ,to work/play/claim/deal/smuggle/**** .........whatever, we would not know where or who they are ,back to freedom of movement ,why ffs

Why are people equating these non EU illegal immigrants with membership of the EU?

When we were in the EU there was the Dublin Regulation, people claiming asylum had to do in the first safe country they arrived in. We could legally return them to Greece, Italy, Spain.

When we left the EU Lord Frost didn't want anything to replace the Dublin Regulation hence today's mess. I'll amend my list.

David Frost, Boris Johnson, Elizabeth Truss, Rishi Sunak, Priti Patel & Suella Braveman all MIA

Simply because the origin ,colour or religion of the male economic migrants is irrelevant to the majority of us ,we are just fed up with the sheer overwhelming numbers of basically uninvited "gatecrashers".
In the year ending March 2016 , 260,000 entered the UK from the EU legally ,not picked for their skills ,value to this country ,not selected at all ,previous years the numbers were even greater.
Your turn SNC show us the number the UK returned to the EU ,under these "Dublin reg's" for a laugh......I have seen them ,risible ,indeed less than we do now.

In 2019 714 individuals were transferred in to the U.K.
based on Dublin 111 rules . And 263 were transferred out
to another EU country

The people who came from the EU to work in the UK were largely welcome. They'd do low paid work while they improved their English then moved on to better paid work or go back to their own countries.

Obviously the racists were never going to welcome them.

This current influx has nothing whatsoever to do with the EU. This is about the UK government's failure to act on illegal immigration

Free movement of people and labour was harmful
to Britain - and indeed other EU countries
That has stopped . Illegal migration is the responsibility
of the British government . If the government are not
worried or indeed if the people of England are not
Don’t then expect anyone else to be

If those who voted to stay part of the EU are not concerned
that’s ok , let it continue

You will not stop the force of e slam  I tell ya first the alba and their trafficking  then they will clash as they will with other groups but will eventually be top dog.  Not that we have anything to be concerned about in the next few decades but it is coming folks.  Demographics will have the last laugh

Imagine thinking that we should be concerned
about a few thousand migrants in dinghies when millions of
migrants have come to England for decades , lol

unless they put something in the water

chelsea 1 up

There does seem to be certain racist tendencies
that EU lovers sadly do reveal , hence threads such as this

45 k on boats and 100k waiting
to be processed.

How did the other 55k get here?

Back of a lorry?

Why isn't Farage highlighting other routes?

He's done a great job for the French boat sellers.

The backlog built up over years of people coming in on lorries etc

When that was clamped down on they switched to dinghies.

And of course the backlog was massaged down to 100k by approving a lot of bogus claims

thank god we have now taken control of our borders

We badly need a competent government.

Good immigration is great for the country ,Filipino nurses ,Indian doctors ,African engineers etc........targeted.controlled.managed.
The Eu open doors policy is not ,whether it be 50,000 unskilled young male economic migrant Romanians (legal) or 50,000 unskilled young male economic migrants Albanians (illegal).
The point that they only do the jobs the indigenous population do not want ,is simply not true ,take HGV drivers for instance.
Besides the driving test ,you need updates ,medicals and it was considered a career and a vocation in the UK and reasonably well paid and respected.
Soon with the tacho and the sat nav ,there was a demand for more drivers ,firms realised you could get cheaper EU drivers and quickly outed there UK drivers for the cheaper ,easily recruited plentiful EU counterparts ,wages remained static for decades ,standards dropped ,conditions worsened until it became a minimum wage occupation.
After the referendum and covid ,many EU drivers went home and we had a shortage...........now with "market forces" in play ,wages have nearly doubled and many many older drivers are returning to the roads ,with many young drivers with new test passes ,many women ,many PSV drivers upgrading ,many white van men progressing passing and training ,all UK residents ,all tax payers etc TF for Brexit

The problems Britain and the European countries face
are the inevitable consequence of liberal government policies over many years
These problems cannot be fixed

They’re never going to be fixed

flat16 intelligent policy is simply beyond this Tory government. This is the party that thought Johnson and Truss were fit to lead the UK.

America is another example . President Trump is elected
with the stated intention to solve the problem of illegal migration.
Then he is opposed at every turn and a new president is elected
With a new policy - which amounts to ignoring the problem , result -
record numbers of illegal migrants .

That’s what they are doing in Europe , that’s what they are doing in U.K.
And that’s what they are doing in America - can’t be fixed if you simply allow it to continue

For once I agree with you SNC but one day a UK government might move us forward.
The EU totally controlled by the Franco/German alliance never ever will.
When you arrive in Spain ,note the chronic unemployment in construction ,chronic youth unemployment and how the illegal immigrants are busy in the "black economy" and remember thank fck for home.

I know Spain has it's problems. The central government has next to no power and regions are run by corrupt builders hence the Spanish addiction to building ever more empty buildings and unused facilities.

But it does have a lot better weather than the northern Europe

with the daily top up to the millions already here the demographic will claim the future and the aims of the people will at last be achieved  - you won't have any say in this.

and has a very different attitude to incomers of the boat variety - like france  they are not so friendly to them

Way too hot in june/july Aug for me ,splendid in sept.
There are undoubted winners in the EU ,Greece/Italy/Spain are not.
High youth unemployment and its obvious long term consequences are horrific and with the UK in virtual full employment ,we are very lucky.
Every one of our school leavers and graduates will have great options ,now is the time to reduce benefits for people who are able to work and just choose not to.
