      They need to get a grip of this. You cannot have this many undocumented people coming into a country every year.

      Just here with you daily reminder that the situation was better before Brexit. Just sayin.

      Another day another stat. I’ve started laughing whenever I see something to do with this. It’s just so bizarre the gov hasn’t done anything about it. It’s just like the “everything is fine” meme.

      The number will get bigger under Labour. They don’t want to decrease immigration. Never have done.

      It’s not benefits you are ignoring the national ID which without you can’t do shit not even open a bank account etc but in the uk a random piece of paper with your name and Adresse does the job etc and English makes it easier … but that can’t and shouldn’t be changed but the first point is an easy fix

      This is what happens when you have a non-functioning asylum system. People arrive, cannot be processed and so we just have a bubble of people that need to have their claims assessed.

      All this is saying, once you get past the Daily Mail rhetoric, is that other countries aren’t as bad as we are at this basic function.

      OMG 1% !!! They took over! We are doomed!

      Expel all of them and put proper British people to wash cars and clean the dishes!

      As much as it pains me to say this. France is a nice country.

      These people aren’t risking life and limb to escape their war torn homes. They are risking life and limb to travel here from France.

      You could argue that the UK is a more desirable prospect because chances are most foreign nations will have at least some level of English. Unless it’s a francophone country their French is probably limited.

      As much as I hated learning French irregular verbs it wasn’t worth risking my life to avoid.

      What are we offering or what are the French not offering that makes us that much more appealing? Are we a soft touch. Is our benefits system that much more generous? Are the likes of Farage correct in saying that you can come over here and get a free house and all your bills paid without having to work at all?

      This article is – surprise surprise – mendaciously misleading. The UKs refugee population isn’t particularly high – [58th in we world.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_by_refugee_population) And this is not an “Oxford University Study” – I would be dollars to donuts that it emerged from the orbit of this charming eugenicist: [David Coleman (demographer) – Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Coleman_(demographer))

      Well, what does it even mean to own or belong to a piece of land anyway. For most of Earth’s history we haven’t existed.

      It’s wonderful to see these new arrivals. They will no doubt make this country a better place.

      Its at breaking point the boats need to be turned away and all illegals need deporting?
