Why don’t they just stay in Europe? What’s the fascination with coming here?

because we hand out food, houses, money and healthcare. Plus our rules are crap and it makes it very hard to send them back.

Er it was shown and reported that they would be £10 a week better off in France … the real reason I think you’ll find is the documentation is easier and they speak English better than French … as once they have their papers from the UK they can freely move around Europe

You may be surprised to know that French is a more common native tongue in Africa than English, although there are variations in the tongue from country to country, down to village to village.

French speaking areas

English speaking areas

Ok, so i know I go on about Africans over Asians/Middle Easterns, but these seem to be the more ‘easily led’ into traffiking and corruption.

Just saying what was reported in the program

its just been reported they don’t speak English are thought to be from the Indian continent and they are looking for the driver in zeebrug that delivered the container :open_mouth:

Funny they never started banging on sides of the container till they were in England

not to sure the press have this right the boat pictured is the norstar this goes into purfleet you can often see them from Dartford bridge if this is the the case it is a roll on roll of ferry that goes to zeebrugge and not a container ship the lads that pick trailers up out of purfleet will no wether this is the case

I wouldn’t want anyone to die needlessly, but generally I have little sympathy for them. I’ve always worked and paid my taxes, why should someone just walk in and be given free healthcare, housing, translation services, benefits etc for free■■?

These people don’t aim for Italy or Spain, Australia or any of the Nordic countries, they see the UK as an easy option and I’m sick if it. Hence all the illegals camped out near Calais waiting to get in.

I’m not a xenophobe, I’ve traveled a lot and appreciate other cultures and am friends with people from across the world. People who contribute to our country…

They are ‘staying in Europe’. England is in Europe.

As for some of the other comments, and no doubt ones to come, show some compassion for your fellow human beings.

How right you were.

^ This.To put it simply the government wants them to come here to add to the pool of cheap labour.Then pretends that it doesn’t so as to not lose too many votes.

Not for much longer hopefully.I think that was meant as why don’t they stay in mainland Europe where they are instead of doing whatever it takes to get here.

As Elvis said ,return the sender,keith

Turns out not to be a container as we know it but an ordinary box trailer shipped in from Zeebrugge, exactly the same problem the drivers at Calais are having, only these are unaccompanied.

Ossie

apparently they are still in the back of the box,the dockers are refusing to unload then because they are not on euro pallets, :stuck_out_tongue:

It amazes me how these people who have nothing can lay their hands on a couple of £1000 to get them over here in the first place.

I’m the only earner in my house as we have 2 small children, I can’t lay my hands on a few grand how can they do it?

Do they seriously believe this is the land of Milk and Honey? Okay my standard of living is pretty good but I’ve had to invest £1000’s into getting the qualifications to drive a waggon and I put in a lot more hours than your 9-5 would. Do they think it’s just all given to you?

that’s the point,once they get in here and in comparison to the toilet they just left,then it IS all given to then,at our expense.

They do aim for Oz. The difference is that we get them by leaky boat. They come from all over the place, but make sure they end up here cos they know they’ll get well looked after.

The present government is trying, with some success to stop them, but then you have the do gooders jumping up and down. Can’t win.

part of the problem is that anyone in the present government is unlikely to have them move in next door to them, :unamused:
