How about a party of us, go to Calais on a day trip, and come back, after throwing our passports overboard ,come back as asylum seekers? just think, no tax, accomodation provided, those under 65, will be eligible for a motability car as well, if they can limp a bit. After I have got my winter fuel allowance, and miserable Christmas bonus, I may think about it!

Got a better idea. Hire a ship, put all the politicians on it and apy the pirates to hijack them and keep them. Would solve a lot of problems, but then again no self respecting pirate woulkd even stoop that low!
Happy daze John in Oz.
