It's always good to hear the opinions of (OXYMORON WARNING!!!) deep thinking anarchists. It's because of the complacency and denial of people like you that it's going to happen. Are you still gloating over the death of the Queen or are you too busy gloating because Charles and Kate have been diagnosed with cancer?

Would it be fair to say that you're not happy that the UK isn't part of the mechanism by which people arriving in the UK can be returned to safe European countries they travelled through?

I always like it when people make stuff up about you, then criticise you for their made up stuff.

 

Makes for excellent, intellectual debate.

Yeah they think they've got some salacious, damning, world destroying revelations, when really they've just got a bit of crap off a local internet forum lol

Well, I have to say more and more people are beginning to look at the huge numbers of new arrivals as an invasion. 

 

 

The vast majority arrive legally by aeroplane. The desperate people claiming asylum after  arriving by rubber dinghy are a small minority.

Last time I looked, according to HMG's own stats, something over 75% of those arriving in dinghies had their asylum claims granted, a higher proportion than those who arrived by "legitimate" means. Obviously those who fail in their claim and go on the run, then become illegal immigrants, but that's a comparatively small number.
The majority of  illegal immigrants are those who pull stunts like overstaying on valid visas, and then fail to claim asylum; we don't monitor our borders thoroughly enough to estimate how many of them are still here, either working in the black economy, or surviving  by means of other criminality.

We could just sort out the immigration system so people arriving are deal with quickly and not sat for months in hotels while their case slowly drags through the system

 

38,000 currently in hotels, where would they have gone if the system had been succesful?

Disprove it, given 75% of boat people are granted asylum. If you weren't pretty desperate would you really choose to cross the Channel in a rubber dinghy?
