Home office admittance
On the news today, 17000 illegal migrants claiming asylum have legged it, gone adrift, no not where !!!, incredible, the news going back to these peoples families, must make us a laughing stock, and there's us, thinking they are finding out who these people are, and investigating whether they qualify for asylum. is there no one who can run this bloody country in an organised way ?.

hi keith,#1
good evening, those people are more than likely benifiting the uk in that they will be working as doctors, possibly nurses even or maybe using their skills in other ways to help the british whom they all wish to emulate and thats their reason for coming here, wish them well they dont mean no harm to anybody, ( or so where told )

hi ivan cloherty #2
good evening, i think you will find that they are already in charge of this country, they have the streets stitched up ie drugs prostitution crime on every level all assisted by the conservative and labour parties.

Re: Home office admittance
I think you will find that these were illegals, awaiting their application for asylum. it seems to be forgotten that ALL of these boat people, and on lorries etc, are ILLEGAL. Should not be able to work while being processed, even though, secretly the powers that be, would like the cheap labour potential on offer.

hi keith #5
good evening, yes i know im just cynical, but the issue about being skilled craftsmen or doctors is the propaganda put out by the liberal bleeding hearts brigade
or in this case by both the left and the conservative party whom might as well join the labour party beacause there is no difference between the two they are both responsible for the immigration into this country that is out of control.

Re: Home office admittance
The question, where did the figures come from?
You learned about them from the media, from the media do you really think they are correct?

Figure released by the home office, ie the government itself, not the media this time.

Re: Home office admittance
Did anyone see the BBC news last night, ref the hotel that was closing down, but full of migrants ?. The migrants were complaining bitterly that they were going to have to move. Some had been there 2 years or more. Incredible, they were all sat down to lovely communal meals, being cooked by the women in the kitchens, food was plenty on the table, they were not worried about gas and electric bills, and all looked very comfortable and warm. When they send this information back to relatives, no wonder they are flocking here, they must really think they are in heaven.On the same subject, the people in this country who cannot afford the stupid rent prices being charged, beggars belief.

I no longer watch the BBC news Keith, through choice, what was their take on the poor migrants?
