Billboards for illegals
_68898656_68898651.jpg
These billboards can de seen driving around the boroughs of Barnet,Hounslow,Barking and Dagenham,Ealing, Brent and Redbridge.Leaflets,posters and messages in local newspapers will also be used to urge illegal immigrants to return home.They will feature a text number that they can message to to arrange a return.The boards warn "Go home or face arrest",they will be given advice,help with travel documents and free travel.The Government states that there are 200.000 illegals in the country,if they come forward they will not be banged up whilst being processed.It will be very interesting to see how many come forward,if any.
Regards.

I would enlarge the Border Agency's successors , and bang the lot up in a very spartan camp until they begged to go home . You can be fined £10,000 for each illegal you employ , make it £50,000 and compulsory , that will make the basic visa checks worth whilst , we are too soft

Our feral gov here has done similar thing but in a rather stupid way. We suffer from illegals coming by boat from Indonesia. So the gov, in it's wisdom of course, tooth that is, put a full page add in national papers. Sad thing is those papers are not available in Indonesia, so how are the people smugglers supposed to read them??

make identity cards compulsory for all, with fingerprints and photo's (no burquas) full face and profile that would stop the lot. we had id's during the war and no one protested. i would think that today it would be simple to check fingerprints. if anyone was caught with fakes, shoot them on the spot. that will soon stop illegals.

Billboards for illegals
Anger over "illegals go home" ads.
The Home Office may face investigation over its pilot poster campaign targeting illegal immigrants.The Advertising Standards Authority received more than a dozen complaints about vans in six London boroughs that said "In the UK illegally ? Go home or face arrest"."Complainants find it harmful and offensive for its potential to raise racial tension and cause distress".I wonder who these complainants are???I like this part.It came as David Camerons spokesman yesterday declared the £10.000 poster campaign a success and said"My understanding is the pilot is working"
The pilot is working I wonder how many have come forward??? As Ivan said, for a free trip home.
Regards.

If you ever watch *Border Control* on the TV, they catch literally dozens of illegals every time they raid, chippies, takeaways etc, they then have trouble because they cannot find their passports (they have already posted them back to their country of origin), so many many times they are released, and told to report to the local police station weekly, which is a joke, because they abscond again. the only way is to lock them up, until they are fed up, and agree to go home of their own freewill . even the border control officers are despondent with the system. Vans and posters are as efficient as pi***** over the weather side, KT

Sacre Bleu:
Bad enough here, slightest bit of a prob and Bill Boards / Stickers / Posters etc always get the blame in France it is always Ray.
As in Ray Bleu and when things go awry they always want to sack Ray ?
Our local press traffic reports: One man in Aylesbury gets knocked down 6 times a day. Guess he is really fed up ?
Why do they always want to prosecute Bill Stickers ?
