I hope my country people see the light and vote out of the EU. We need tighter control of our boarders and put a stop to letting in every tom, dick and harry. Im losing out on work because of foreigners, its driving me mad to be honest. When im told im no longer needed to work on the construction site anymore because they have other workers which turn out to be foreigners that work for less money it does my head in.
So should i work for less money to compete with them? I think not, i was here first and its driving wages down in my line of work. Of course the government and companies want to keep the borders open, its cheaper labour for them.
Its a crime and racist to fly my own flag in my own country. Slowly but surely im seeing britain lose its identity, i see immigrants coming here and taking the jobs and scamming the benefits system.
Im concerned for my countries future, as a worker struggling in my line of work to compete against cheaper foreigners im getting to the stage of just giving up bothering and just live entirely on benefits aswell. I see why other british people have adopted the lifestyle, why bother keep competing for work??
And all those people that say that British people are lazy and benedits scroungers need to wake up. Yes their is a lot of tv shows showing only the British living off benefits, but what about all the foreigners scamming the system and claiming benefits?? Oh yes their is not even one tv show telling us about this, heaven forbid we might be being racist for pointi g it out.
Anyone that speaks the truth is racist in britain, its like being British is a ctime, lol

Even so it is a mere trickle compared to the wave seen in the rest of Europe , our country cannot be hermetically sealed so we must expect some will get through.

Another rambling anti immigration post from another scared little man online.
Run for the hills! The brown people are coming...and they are bringing falafels! Our way of life is at risk!!!
As someone from the UK, I'm not worried about the small (yep, small) influx of immigrants. I am sick of reading swill like this thread every day on ATS though.

You can only measure what you can count. Logically you can only refer to illegal immigrants that have been found crossing the channel and the 'recent influx' you speak of amounts to 39 people in a total of 3 boats/dinghies, all of whom were apprehended. Have more succeeded? I don't know, neither do you, so do you call 39 people an 'uncontrolled influx' even though it was certainly controlled as they were apprehended.
This isn't an EU thing, it's not about whether the UK is in or out of the EU - the question being raised in that respect is open borders for people from another EU country being able to live/work in the UK and of course vice versa.

I'm not here to admit anything, you made a statement that there has been a recent influx. You have no evidence to say this is a fact so basically you are talking BS. One boat with 17 Albanians, another that appears to be 18 Albanians, two Brits (presumably the smugglers) and two Iranians in a dinghy. 39 known people who recently attempted to enter the UK via the channel. You have nothing to say it's a larger amount, so where is this recent influx you talk of?
As there is no known influx larger than what I've written above, there is no evidence to state that there is - is talking bs just a habit to you?
Nobody was whisked off to who knows where, they were arrested. Why do you keep just making crap up for the sake of it?
Newsflash, facts or you are just making it up.

If I remember the term "whisked away" was used by the British news paper Daily Mail discribing other groups who were seen beening collected by cars and vans

I am sick of shills like you (seriously is someone paying you to say that crap). You don't care what happens to the native Europeans, and thus you should be deported along with the "refugees".

Thanks for clarifying that for us here. So, in that case, it WAS uncontrolled. And this is only one incident that was discovered. I wonder if there are more, if they even get reported. After all, you could, in early dawn, get close to shore, sink the boat, and swim the short distance ashore. Then, there is NO evidence of the boat at all either. I remember reading reports of weeks later "boats" such as this (it is even a stretch to call them boats), washing ashore following big storms. Nobody knew they existed before that.

To eletheia, you mean to say locals when interviewed by Sky say they saw people arrive (but didn't see the boats that would presumably have to be abandoned or moved away) and that these people were picked up in vans? At the moment that is an allegation, nothing more, nothing less. Whisked away by whom? Presumably people traffickers, but that assumes these crossing really took place.

Sky News was reporting on the incidents you were referring to
BUT
The locals were expanding on *OTHER* previous instances of abandoned boats
on the sands (beach) from which the occupants were picked up and
*whisked away* (their words) by cars and vans
Is that clear enough?
