Re: Deck Certification
I see in the news, that the Mayor of one town that these illegals ship out from, is complaining about them messing his life up. He say's it's due to the UK being so welcoming to illegals, that they are crowding out his town. I think he has a genuine point.

Going back some years, Germany was the destination of choice because their benefits were the best at that time; the tide turned in our direction a good while back when we became more generous. I recall being in Glasgow in early 2000s when there as a near riot in East Glasgow due to asylum seekers/ refugees/ whatever being given flats with everything provided, fridges, cookers down to last knife and fork in a high rise, when there were folks in the same building with nothing near what was being handed out and no hope of being given anything.

Re: Deck Certification
WE had a couple of boats attempt to land here in Oz last week.
But we got them, off to Christmas island offshore where they may stay for up to ten years in detention.
Then we might send them back to where they came from.
Happy daze John in Oz.
