I wrote to Cameron and told him we need a few Royal Marines or Ghurkhas on the Ferries and Tunnel checking the vehicles before they come to England.
He replied and said we do not need them.
The Royal Marines are in Barracks, just marching up and down and playing music when there are no wars. So why not use them , there is a war on, it is the WW3.

Re: an other wagon load illegalls
That is too easy a solution Brian. Anyway he would have to get permission from a foreign power to be able to do so. We all live in a world of make belief. There are no such things as disgruntled tribes of people living in an ancient past and not wishing change. They are just poor disaffected people uneducated in the ways of the world who Know no better than to do what they are told and to kill the unbelievers. Another way to stop the killing would be to stop the armanents industry and make it illegal by the UN to sell arms to anyone. There again we come back to money and the 100s of thousands who would be out of work. The UN since it was formed has made 100s of resolutions, has anyone kept count of how many have been enforced, and if so how many lives they have saved. I hope someone writes a true account and I mean TRUE of how the mess in Europe with no borders was not foreseen by all the experts who are supposed to foresee such happenings, and when it did the total absence of any counter to, and was only the closure of borders which quelled the masses, borders that should have been in place in any case. The poor intelligence of all political parties both singular and country wise leaves a lot to be desired, especially as most are supposed to have higher degrees in learning. Definetely not Mensa material. In 1984, 32 years ago I did trials on a converted supply vessel for the Navy as a patrol vessel around the Falklands to deter any insurgents into the Islands. 32 years ago she was fitted out to be able to pick up the body heat of an insurgent at 3 miles away. Why aren't these instruments being used, they must be now even far advanced from what they were in those days. Science wise there is no reason why people should be getting though in the backs of lorries unless they are dead, in which case they should be dropped off mid channel preferably closer to the French coastline than the British that is if Britain is still called such after the 23 July. Cheers JS

Re: an other wagon load illegalls
Jim, if you actually listen to the case as reported on TV a lot of it does not tie up.
1)The lad claimed he was in a metal container, if so, would have been impossible to receive or make phone calls as the metal would shield the signal.
2)The phone was reportedly given to him whilst he was in the Jungle, how did he charge and top it up.
3)If he was in a metal container how did they trace the signal, see 1 above.
Regards
Vic

Today they are allowing hundreds of moo slim children into Britaim from the Jungle in Calais.
Where are their parents?? I guess they will be following and allowed in because their children are there,.

How much are they picking up off the TAX Payers of this land??
How does that compare, times a million of them with our overseas tax avoiders.
Why doesn't Labour check up on that system of tax avoidance.???? are they afraid of losing votes off that section of the community????
It is costing Billions of pounds a year in welfare payments from us Tax Payers.

I can only emphasise with your problem as we have seen it happen in Shields as well.
May I suggest that you use the Benefits Fraud hotline, its anonymous, (phone from a public phone box) to get them to investigate, again contact your local environmental agency regarding the state of the property (say you have seen rats), again this can be done anonymously, similar with your local housing office.
Despite them being possibly mozzies that work there they are duty bound to investigate. Another arrow could be a letter to your local paper couched in general terms about how areas of your town have been reduced to slum like conditions by its inhabitants (never mention religion).
If you get no redress you could always take your complaints to the local ombudsman.
If concerned citizen's keep on turning the other cheek then these reprobates will continue to breed and destroy our society.
Just my thoughts

Re: an other wagon load illegalls
There is a bit of a furore in WA at the moment as a placard was displayed at a football match, Ban the Mosks. this is described by the media as racial. I would of thought it was more Religious than anything else. I wonder if going back a few years when all the anti slogans were the norm and the biggest one being Ban the Bomb, if maybe by todays standards that was considered a no no, maybe could get round this if in the Downing Street area by displaying Ban the Bum instead.

Brian, that's the way they work, move in, make a mess, ruin the street, people have enough, move out,so their lot can move in.

Happy daze John in Oz.
