Some people are so ashamed of our illustrious past that they denounce everything that is great about Britain and are hell bent on changing the social make up of this country. These politicians are usually the left leaning kind. They should remember that this country has done some great things, we won battles that we probably shouldn't have, we punched well above our weight. We had great inventors, scientists and engineers, but just because the left is ashamed to be British we have this ludicrous situation where we can't control who's coming in.

In order to claim UK benefits you have to have worked here for at least three years or be considered for Asylum (those considered candidates for Asylum are forbidden by law from employment in the UK, meaning the state necessitates paying them welfare benefits - irrespective of how qualified they actually are). The UK Borders are much harder to get through than almost any of the European countries, the problem has been that our Border forces have been using an antiquated system that was supposed to have been replaced by 1996 - its was finally replaced at the end of 2014, and even that system is just a fix. The UK has also always been reluctant to become directly involved in the idea of a European police force and databases etc. We're exceptionally fortunate we're an island nation and points of ingress are limited.

We should take a set number of valid asylum cases that relates to our capacity to provide for them. I'm not in for the race to increase the disadvantage for our own poor to provide for other country's poor.....Beyond a set amount we can cope with. Are you aware of the size of waiting lists for social housing in this country? The poor here are being constantly fcked as it is. Isn't that precisely what I'm suggesting? A set number or percentage, meaning no more do we have people camping out in Calais to get over here (because it will make no difference where they apply in relation to where they end up) I think its very important to distinguish between Asylum cases, and people who are intending to enter the UK illegally. A lot of the people trying to smuggle themselves into the UK via Calais are people who have been returned from the UK Ports or rejected Asylum in France, and gone on the run. Most of these people won't be getting into the UK and claiming asylum, they'll be going to work illegally. and those ones can obviously f*k right off!

I'm literally foaming at the mouth.....If I look in the mirror I've no doubt that my eyes would be swiveling.

In polite response to this.....No thanks.

But why?

Another debate, I know, but if not for this sort of thing, what is the EU for?

Why?

Control of our own immigration is why.
