Excuse I didn’t notice you had also added a topic on this matter.
As I mentioned I do hope the law that all who will be allowed to remain in the uk must speak an A level in English

Casden the Home office has been “accepting abuse of our borders” for years with even the border force providing a taxi service to our shores

Casdon Wed 22-Oct-25 19:40:54

A Home Office spokesperson said: “We will not accept any abuse of our borders, and we will do everything in our power to remove those without the legal right to be here. Individuals who are returned under the pilot and subsequently attempt to re-enter the UK illegally will be removed.”

I don't understand. I thought returnees to France were being accommodated and looked after in Paris while their case is looked into. So why does he say the smugglers are onto him, and he doesn't feel safe? How does he get from Paris back to a boat in Calais 300+ kms away?

The thumb method.

Didn't they get 2k to go quietly? I seem to remember reading that somewhere.

There we are - ÂŁ2k of taxpayers' money straight into the hands of the people smugglers.

You couldn't make it up ........

Obviously a resourceful fellow. Perhaps we should give him some work to do.

In this case, it was one in, one out, and one back in again.

Bit like the Hokey Cokey, just not amusing.

And shake it all about...

That’s working well then isn’t it!! We are the laughing stock of Europe

We absolutely are!

Did you see about the migrant who received ÂŁ25,000 compensation payout last week because he had been offended?

Apparently he looked older than he claimed and had a prominent Adam’s Apple so the authorities told him they didn’t believe him.

What’s wrong with just apologising to him and saying “Very sorry, but it was a genuine mistake”.

Just listened to the BBC radio news.

Apparently a migrant who was flown back to France under the one in one out deal between Sir Starmer and President Macron has returned to UK on a small boat.

Who couldn’t foresee this happening 🤷‍♀️
