What a ****ing mess.

We are now paying France over 50million to turn out boats around to the country they have come from (France). You just can't make this **** up.

If you are seeking asylum because of persecution in your own country then you should be able to flee through the correct channels (excuse pun there) and dock at the first safe country.

But no, a lot of these are men. Very dangerous men, Albanians to be exact who make up a big space in our prisons. It's not women and children, if it is, they're way outnumbered.... France is safe, that would be first destination and if you genuine were seeking asylum you'd go there......but they'll come here, we'll put them up in hotels, give them homes and benefits.....2/3rds,,,,,75% are allowed to stay legally after assessment

Also, did you know that you can do a fake passport, get on a plane and seek asylum here....and it's not illegal to do that within legislation....but now, coming across on a dingy is....

It's all madness. We need control!
