They want to come to UK because they know we are a soft touch and my views happen to be mine and I am not xenophobic. I am also British and proud of it. Since this thread seems to have ventured into new areas which the moderator is allowing I will continue by saying I do want to reverse many of the stupid issues that have entered our lives over the years and I for one want out of the wasteful European Community and back to us controlling our own borders. And as I type this I see the EC has yet again given more taxpayers money to Greece to prop up a failing country that should never have been in the Euro anyway and have priced themselves out of a competitive economy. But enough from an old JP.

Many may have lived in the same area of London, around the East End but they had to learn English if they wanted to work, and they did. <br /><br />Today if a non English speaker wants to claim a benefit of some sort they can ask for the form in their own language. That's the first thing that should go. If someone can't complete a form in English they shouldn't get what they were seeking, and nobody should be able to apply for any benefits unless they have paid tax for at least a year or two.<br /><br />I wonder what supplying interpreters in court costs. Fine if someone really doesn't speak the language but it's not uncommon to have a witness to answer in their own language before the interpreter has had a chance to translate it from the English for them. Maybe some assumptions should be made. If you've been in the UK for more than X years, you just don't get one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871367480602637.post-41233053302011389222015-07-13T17:17:57.873+01:002015-07-13T17:17:57.873+01:00How do you know the poster was a magistrate?

They are not migrants, they are illegal immigrants trying to blag their way into a soft-touch country. <br /><br />While we're on the subject, why aren't we asking the PM why it is he thinks all these illegal immigrants are queuing up at Calais? What explanation does he have to offer to explain why these people aren't disappearing into the French/German/Holland/Belgium interiors in such numbers? Why aren't we asking the PM to tell us exactly what he is going to change to make the UK less attractive to illegal immigrants? <br /><br />Just because their own countries have turned into basket cases it's no reason to let them in here. The very behaviour being demonstrated by these illegal immigrants is exactly why they should be prevented from getting in here. Is anyone so naive as to think that they'll turn into model citizens once they have bailed out of the back of a lorry onto our soil? <br /><br />The bleeding hearts can weep & wail as much as they like but this country needs to be changed from the country of first choice to the country of last choice and we should be demanding that our politicians make it so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871367480602637.post-13095555865592191862015-07-13T10:22:01.271+01:002015-07-13T10:22:01.271+01:00Yes, there are certainly some who are fleeing terr...Yes, there are certainly some who are fleeing terror and appalling lives but the majority are econonic and just want a nicer life-- they see the streets paved with gold and think they can just fit in to the UK Well they can't and shouldn't.<br /><br />It might not be fashionable to say but we can't look after our own never mind others who want to come here who cannot speak the language or want to observe our customs.<br /><br />Stuff the Human Rights Act and close the borders.

Maybe it’s time for the EU to spend some money on buying an enclave in North Africa and building a refugee camp (a new town?) complete with facilities such as places of worship, medical centres, schools (for when their families arrive), libraries, canteens for them to eat in and a police force all at the EU’s expense. In the long run this could well be cheaper financially and in terms of lives lost as sea than what is happening at present.<br />PeeWeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871367480602637.post-72538677548868337202015-07-11T16:34:17.614+01:002015-07-11T16:34:17.614+01:00Glad I don't sit with Jonathon.Glad I don't sit with Jonathon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871367480602637.post-35531726182197884072015-07-11T13:11:19.759+01:002015-07-11T13:11:19.759+01:00Jonathon, that's great!
