We do keep banging on about illegal migrants in these pages, but that is only because they keep arriving. Once it stops, we will stop.
That said, we’re off to a flying start. Last time I checked we had deported three illegal migrants to France under our ‘one in, one out’ policy. Otherwise, according to Plank of The Week on Talk TV, we had flown several empty planes – apart from the journalists who were there to report on the situation – and in return for the three out we took a bunch of migrants in from France in return. The net effect of the system to date is in deficit and that does not consider the 1000 or so illegal migrants who crossed on the day last week when the third migrant was deported.
The seats on these planes cost £600 per migrant, according to Plank of The Week (as I said, should have used Ryanair) and they are flying empty. One of the flights was an Air France plane, and we’re paying for it. Why not use a British airline (or an Irish one) and stop giving more of our money to the very people who let these migrants cross the channel in the first place?
And there’s more. We are shifting these illegals out of luxury hotels in the UK only for them to be accommodated in luxury hotels in France…at our expense. The piss taking bastards who run our country hold us in utter contempt, assume we are all stupid, and when a bunch of peaceful, mainly middle-class people take to the streets to demonstrate legitimate concerns, they are labelled ‘far-right’. If that is the case, the recent rally in London managed to gather a remarkable number of far-right Caribbeans, Sikhs, Hindus and many with African sub-continental heritage. Who knew so many of our migrants – legal ones – were far-right?
According to Migration Watch, in 2017 there were between 800,000 and 1,200,000 illegal migrants in the UK. Given the rate at which the hordes of the blighters run up the beaches on our southeastern coast, can you imagine what the figure is now? The government estimates are almost certainly well below the real figures. They don’t want us to know; they have engineered this system, and from their perspective, it is all going according to plan.
Nigel Farage says that he will stop the automatic right to remain in the country even for legal migrants, who would have to apply to stay every five years. Fair enough, I guess, provided it is applied fairly by which I mean if you have worked hard, paid your taxes and not come to the attention of Mr Plod or the courts, then fill your boots. If not, get packing.
But this is all fiddling while the country burns. It is jam tomorrow and, even then, may be impossible to get through Parliament, past the blob and into action. Farage is good at testing the direction of the wind. On the back of the recent rally he sees that the people have had enough, and he might win the next election on the back of this single issue. On the other hand, he can blow a bit hot and cold about immigration – despite his reputation – and he steadfastly refuses to recognise that the growth of Islam and the number of Muslims is a problem in and of itself.
The largest group of migrants arriving illegally this year are from Afghanistan, followed by Syria; and the Afghans are way out in front. We owe some Afghans a debt for helping us out in the recent war, but we must also remember that they were traitors working for the highest bidder. Who knows who is paying them now? I hardly blame them for wanting to get away from the animals now in charge of Afghanistan. But, to get an idea of the kind of bleeding idiots we are welcoming in, consider that during the recent earthquake women went un-rescued from the rubble because Afghan men were afraid to touch them. Strange how they seem to have no problem touching our women when they get here.
We don’t need a reduction in immigration (legal or illegal), we need it to stop completely. Asylum seekers can seek it in France or any of the other liberal western democracies they enter on the way to the French coast. Amidst the encircling gloom that is descending on our country, with the prospect of a Mosque on every corner replete with the call to prayer, and the prospect of Sharia law being imposed on us we need a new strategy.
I suggest a poster campaign in Calais financed by our Border ‘Force’, advertising the new Illegal Migrant Welcome Package – featuring a bacon butty, a tot of rum and a copy of The Bible. That should stem the flow a wee bit.

This Labour Government has no qualms about penalising those who make, or have made, a contribution to this country. They, plus the Conservatives, have demonstrated time and time again that they have no stomach for stopping and removing illegals – they don’t even know how many there are and have no intention of even trying to find out. Rather then the solution is to penalise the illegals by putting them into tent accommodation well away from legal inhabitants and giving them very basic food plus no other perks whatsoever. This would also deter those who haven’t yet made it across the channel. This though is unlikely to ever happen under the uniparty or even Reform as all are weak and lack conviction.
Nathaniel,
I agree with your assessment as I agree with the author of today’s article.
And it puzzles me to bits. I’m told by some politically “educated” friends and acquaintances that this current situation (illegals pouring into the country, alongside legal immigrants) has been – to quote the author – “engineered” and, to quote your good self is unlikely to change because the powers-that-be (or in the case of Reform, would-be) “lack conviction”.
But, why?
Puzzled, Glasgow…
I’m aware of the long-standing aim of the globalist elite of achieving one-world government so I assume that has to be in the mix for the long-term, but in the shorter term… Between domestic elections? What can the political parties possibly hope to achieve by allowing this unmonitored invasion of peoples from any and everywhere, undocumented and untraceable?
And before someone accuses me of some kind of racism, allow me to point out that were I to visit any African country or any Asian country and see a majority of white people, I’d be asking the same question. If I visited America or Australia (or even England!) and saw streets full of kilted Scots, some even carrying bagpipes (!) I’d be asking the same question.
Why are they doing this? Why the refusal to stop illegal migration? How on earth can it benefit any of the political parties? Signed, yet again, this time with a heavy sigh…
Puzzled, Glasgow.
Talking to myself now, but I’m disappointed that there is no mind greater than mine to provide some kind of answer to the questions in my final paragraph. I have to say this to myself, because if I said it to A.N. Other where I live, the reply would be a sarcastic – Ach away! In other words, if I really expected answers, I need help.
Yes, I too fail to understand what’s behind this and just don’t buy into either of the simplistic reasons often stated. These illegal invaders won’t in any way assist in replacing an aging population by being productive workers and tax payers, they are scroungers with huge state dependent families. World government is also unlikely to result, unless of the Islamic Caliphate type, and open borders will flood already over populated Western European and North American countries making them economic basket cases. It’s a mystery that I wish someone would answer with a plausible explanation.
Me, too – if I had the cash, I’d employ a top Private Detective with a reputation for solving mysteries!
It would be more effective, and satisfying, to hire a proficient mercenary to kidnap the leaders of all UK political parties and force them to admit the answer(s) to this question. If some physical encouragement was needed to get answers, well…..
LOL! Well… it could be justified on the grounds of self-defence. Unless we can work out and fix what is happening/going wrong in the UK, we’re all in serious trouble. If our Plan A goes pear shaped, the PM is a trained Human Rights Lawyer and he’s sure to know that we mean well, so…
I think the “why” (is the Starmer Government allowing, even encouraging, illegal migrants) has become very clear now. I’d heard the talk about digital ID of course – who hasn’t – but until this morning, I hadn’t realised it would be mandatory. So, there’s the “why” – the excuse of digital ID as a means of fixing the illegal migrant problem, is the road to tyranny for us all.
I mean, really? Meaning no digital ID, no work; they will be unable to find work? How about they will be unable to find a home, no more hotels, no more benefits, how about “off this boat and onto that boat – you’re going right back.” Macron eat your heart out.
