Im sorry...but you are simply wrong. They were backed up because on the nights in question, a few illegals died while trying to illegally enter the UK. The thousand that stormed the gates were strapping themselves to the undercarriages of semi's.
The nights in question? sure. But what about all the months before that night? Or since? The problem at the UK France border has been going on for years. Every Eurostar train is stopped last I heard, and every single passenger (1000+) has to get off and have their papers checked (and bags).. IN FRANCE! before it is allowed into the UK. This takes hours because the UK has not put on enough people to deal with it.
And yet when the Spanish put up screening at the Gib border, then the Brits are all up in arms... ****ing hypocrites.
Look at yourself. You want to blame the UK for not allowing more immigrants?
They can do whatever they want, but dont come and complain about **** that they are at least partly to blame for.
You think the UK is somehow obligated to bring in more refugees than their country can handle?
Hey, if they were to just take those that they can handle then that would be fine! But they are not even doing that! 187 Syrian refugees in 2014. Come on!
Rather than work to fix the countries people are escaping from, you think the answer is to turn every country into an impoverished ****hole? Thats ****ing brilliant.
Err how exactly would you fix Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria? The UK was at least in part at fault for the situation there and dont even try to deny that..
He...hows about you accept 20-30 unemployed illegals into your private home and YOU be on the hook for their care. How is that going to work out...any better than a country being forced to take on 2 million?
You are mixing up illegals and refugees. I could care less about illegals, but refugees I care about. And it is refugees that the UK has not taken any where near their fair share off.
Now illegal migrants from places like Nigeria, Sengal, Pakistan and so on... kick them home. Problem here is agreements with said countries to do that. Had the EU had a unified rule-set with the full economic and political power behind it, then these illegals would be on the first place home once caught. But countries like the UK (not solely mind you) have for years refused to change the rules on illegal immigration into the EU, because that would mean that their oh so precious sovereignty would be at risk. And the UK cant piss off their old colonies after all, that is their future meal ticket according to the Conservatives... Commonwealth ahead of their European cousins!
