visitors for christmas
good evening,
i have just been listening to the latest reports regarding a ship carrying about two hundred off the southern italian coast and it seems that a change of goverment has certainly made a big difference in attitudes, as they are still denying the ship to land and disembark passangers, It now seems france has offered landing rights,where they will most likely escourt them to calais so i suppose we can look forward to keeping this lot housed in four star hotels

Re: visitors for christmas
Maybe the UK should grow a pair of balls and scoop the lot up and load them on an aging ferry or an aging cruise ship. Run it aground on a French beach. The French would them be obliged to rescue those poor souls stranded onboard. Contact P&O ferries and they could reccomend a manning agency for crewing at £2.50 an hour. Come on now we put thousands ashore on D day why can we not do it again?
Putin does what he likes and the west sit back and let him.
Are the French going to declare war on the UK?? doubt it. Will the EU declare war on the UK doubt it.
I bet if that kind of action was taken the French and EU might take a more interested look at illegal migration.
Also screw what the european courts say we are not part of the eu anymore.
Um!!! maybe Boris forgot to extract us from that club as well,
So did Boris get Brexit done???

It shows what a right wing gov can do if it wants to.
The new girl on the block in Italy is certainly showing the way.


Happy daze John in Oz.
