If Peppa Pig is now the symbol of global Britain, what have you got to lose Mr Farage?

Well it’s time that law was changed then MaizieD. It wasn’t handed down to Moses on a tablet of stone.

In Daily Mail today....a video of 40 more aspirants getting into a rubber dinghy with the French gendarmerie in a car just a few yards away, watching them.

Probably making sure they don’t change their minds.

Use your mobiles lads - ring on ahead and place your orders for your pizza deliveries.

How is it that these people, having had their asylum claim rejected, can just go on and on and on appealing?

It's all do do with this inconvenient thing called 'the law', Ug. If the law says that they can appeal more than once then that is what they will do, if their lawyers think they have a case to appeal.

It could also have a lot to do with the fact that the Home Office is in a state of chaos and is notoriously inefficient. Remember the Windrush scandal? It is reported to day that, four years later only 5% of Windrush victims have received the compensation they are due. Is that the action of an efficient department? I think not.

There is also the small matter of the HO failing to repatriate failed asylum seekers. Highlighted by the recent case of the Liverpool bomber.

Priti Patel doesn't seem to be having much success in ensuring that her department carries out its work properly... Mouthing populist rubbish about wave machines and turning boats back isn't exactly solving her problems.

Yes we know that vegansrock. Blair flung open the doors to the EU migrants remember?. Now it’s the turn of the people traffickers. Come one, come all ...

Off grid of course - smuggled into containers and brought over. Well until the god-awful suffocation inflicted upon those 39 Vietnamese via Irish people traffickers. Remember the driver? His wife had recently given birth to twin baby girls.

The smugglers are using different routes now as the paying clients are more wary these days.

Perhaps the government who claimed Brexit would enable the U.K. “to take control of its borders” might wake up to the fact that mass migration is an international problem and can’t be solved in isolation from other countries. The Tories have had 10 years to control non EU migration ( and it could have controlled EU migration in many cases if it had been a*sed to do so. These boats aren’t full of French and Germans or even Polish builders, they are full of people from the Middle East or Africa.

Also where do they get the money from about 6000 Euros to pay the criminal traffickers?

Money lenders I believe Maudi. Families pay to send one member over to here in the hope they find work (even in a nail bar or hand-wash car valeting, cash in hand, no questions asked, or along the curry mile cooking or washing up in the back kitchen) they then live several people to one room, often sharing mattresses if shift workers and sending whatever they can to the family back home. Who pays the moneylender plus interest in the hope that eventually the debt is cleared and a better lifestyle is possible for the extended family.

Migrants, asylum seekers are not illegal until they have been refused permission to stay. Why would anyone travel thousands of miles, sleep rough, risk their life, get into debt to people traffickers just to commit crimes here? Seems an awful lot of effort to me. I prefer to use the word compassionate to gullible.

Today 38 boats arrived from the Johnson ferry service into Dover it’s non stop.

At times like this its good to turn to B. Bragg esq. :

For theirs is a land with a wall around it
And mine is a faith in my fellow man
Theirs is a land of hope and glory
Mine is the green field and the factory floor
Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers
And mine is the peace we knew
Between the wars

Also where do they get the money from about 6000 Euros to pay the criminal traffickers?

Seems the illegal migrants know all the tricks, lie about your age, destroy all identification. Why do they do this if they are genuine asylum seekers? But are they, they could be criminals, rapists, killers, ISIS supporters/soldiers seems they can be anyone they want to be if some people are gullible enough to believe them and yes it only takes one lone wolf to cause mayhem. I am talking now about the young healthy men who pay criminal smugglers to get to Britain.

Do we have to police what's happening in Sweden now? I would have thought the great Brexit project would have excused us from that responsibility.

?

From the same article:

Such medical tests are controversial, with some experts saying dental evidence is not reliable.

Many asylum seekers do not have identity documents as they may have lost them as they fled conflict or a natural disaster, says the International Organization for Migration.

In other cases their country of birth may not have the structures in place to record births, so it is not unusual for people not to know their exact age, says The Local.

Thank you Maudi.

A Swedish investigation into migrants claiming asylum as children suggests that three-quarters of those tested were over the age of 18.

Sweden's national forensic medicine agency checked the age of nearly 8,000 people and found that some 6,600 were 18 or over.

The checks were only carried out in cases where there were doubts as to the person's age.

Child migrants are less likely to be sent back to their country of origin.

From BBC

We are very welcoming to all the Afghanis who helped us and translated for us. We gave them a safe haven, more than others in Europe. It was indeed the right thing to do Gill57 I totally agree.

How is it that these people, having had their asylum claim rejected, can just go on and on and on appealing?

Surely they should get just one appeal, and that has to start with an explanation of why the vital information they are now revealing was not presented at their first hearing!

And tell them to bring their belongings to the appeal with them, because if it fails, they won't have time to go back and fetch them...

Whilst the summary of the proposed bill makes it all look very reasonable, I for one, have no faith in this government showing any leadership, organisation or morality in the treatment of those seeking asylum. We have seen what happened with the Windrush generation, and all decent people should be appalled.

Nobody should have any problem with swift and fair processing of asylum applications, nor of the prosecution of people smugglers, but too often, the wrong people are demonised, the people who are only looking for what you and I have; a safe home, a job, a good education for their children.

As I have posted before, if the situation in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan was bad enough for this country to get involved militarily, then we have an obligation to help the citizens of those countries to make better, safer lives for themselves.

Remember the days when Amnesty International dealt with human rights abuses in other countries and we used to be able to say how glad we were that didn't happen here?

One person who pretended he was 16 when he was probably 18, certainly no more than 21

One bloke in Ipswich who the kids thought looked older than them.

And a fella in Coventry who looked like he could have been 40.

OK, how can I put this delicately...

Rabble rousing stories in the Daily Mail do not constitute proof. It does worry me that people are taken in by this stuff.

The bill – and the wider plan – has 3 key objectives:

To make the system fairer and more effective so that we can better protect and support those in genuine need of asylum.

To deter illegal entry into the UK breaking the business model of criminal trafficking networks and saving lives.

To remove from the UK those with no right to be here.

The introduction of the bill was preceded by a consultation, which the government has carefully considered. The government will publish its response in due course.

In your dreams Boz.

One of the things I like about GN is the high standard of debate.

Probably. But if Johnson is the face of Brexit, it is not a very presentable one, and every time he appears you get this whiff of desperation of a man losing the oxygen of his dreams.

Here you go Alegrias fill your boots.

People coming into this country are not illegal until they have had their application rejected. Financial support of £39 per week, is not the main draw factor.

# *BREAKING: Emergency Question on Migration to Home Secretary.*

*Labour confirm again it will vote AGAINST Nationality and Borders Bill.*

This bill means anyone coming to the UK ILLEGALLY can NOT claim Asylum in the UK and will not be eligible to financial support thus turning off the main draw factor.

Please make sure you let as many people know as possible that Labour do not want to stop the illegal migrants.
