Another illegal immigrant told Good Morning Britain ‘I think it exists because governments like Britain doesn’t have safer means to travel,' he said.

‘If there was civilised and ways that people can have safe passage then I wouldn’t have risked my life - I wouldn’t have been in that container.

Well he has degree in Englandishmentism, so he can teach the rest as they come off the boat.

Fat lot of good that does him.He's with the Scottish Refugee Council.

[Theland]

He'll have to get a BA in Scotlandishmentism then, learn how to fry a Mars bar and then he can take classes for Wannabe McMohammeds.

You do that frank - or better still come and introduce yourself.

Incidentally. I don’t travel with ‘mates’.

[Zacs-Master]

//Illegal immigrants are by no means a definate drain on society.//

This gentleman might not be, although I suppose it depends how much value you place on the post of Chief Executive of the “Scottish Refugee Council”. (I’m a bit confused – is the Council Scottish or are the refugees?). But many are, and it does not alter the fact that he should not have been allowed to settle here.

It’s very sad that many people across the globe live in poor or dangerous conditions. Unfortunately they cannot be accommodated here. That nothing to do with being “middle class” or “I’m Alright Jack”. It’s just a fact.

//Illegal immigrants are by no means a definate drain on society.//

maybe not, but the law as it stands at present says they are illegal. if you wish the country to have a 100% open-door policy with no incomers denied access, then vote for whichever party campaigns for such a policy in their manifesto. although a number of prominent individual politicos are calling for just such a policy, no party is advocating it, officially or otherwise.

\\//He could always have applied for legal immigration.....//

Yeh dead easy that. Your parents and brothers have been murdered and tossed into a mass grave and they are looking for you to do the same, while raping your young sisters. what do you do?....saunter up to the nearest immigration officer 'Hello Sir I am looking to apply for immigration,yes of course I have all my papers which I managed to grab before ISIS burnt down my house and killed all my family,oh yes,I can be available to get the next plane..thanks awfully old chap...
Could not make it up.//

burnt the house down........in france or italy?
raping your sisters...in france or italy?
you dont need papers to apply for asylum, do you think all the ones on boats in the med have them.?

[New Judge]

Yes webbo, but the majority of these people have not arrived from places where their "...parents and brothers have been murdered and tossed into a mass grave and they are looking for you to do the same, while raping your young sisters." They've usually arrived from the near Continent where such atrocities are, shall we say, somewhat less common. They've arrived from places where no such perils threaten them and where they could, if they were so minded, apply for asylum there. They choose not to do so because for reasons best known to them they want to settle in the UK. The asylum system does not work like that. This country needs to enforce the rules laid down in the UN Convention on Status of Refugees and, though less important, the EU's Dublin Agreement.

exactly new judge, apply in one of the other eu countries to come here and there will be no need to risk your life in the channel or the back of a lorry.
