[emmie]

did anyone watch this programme,
i saw some of it, but it did leave many questions unanswered,

mostly i was interested on a different take on those here illegally. How many obviously think our streets are paved with gold, they aren't, but i can see more of this on our streets...

Sorry to deviate emmie, but I've been trying to figure out who your avatar is ??

[emmie]

unless you saw the film the artist you won't guess, its the rather lovely
Jean Dujardin.

i did not see it emmie but that is the sort of programme i use to watch on catch up, is there a bigger article in the guardian about it i will go across the road and buy a copy if there is ?

Ah I did vaguely recognise him (sorry em didn't like the film), but yes he is gorge !

[emmie]

not sure, it was on last evening, so will be on BBC i player, if you have a telly. One thing is that so many seem to turn to drink, drugs, or thieving, or all three, the idea of them being deported seems to take forever, if they have ditched their id's, passports before getting here then no one knows what to do with them. One guy came with the idea of earning hundreds of thousands and go home in triumph, he went home eight year down the line with nothing but a set of clothes and a battered bag.

for their sakes and ours this should be clamped right down on, they get here with borrowed cash, then promptly find nothing is as they think in their homelands, is it ever....
