Don't get what's happening - so he's being chased by people smugglers in France? Or was he just attacked on the streets in paris unrelated?
Sounds like it's France's problem, I don't see how it's ours.

true. At least it wasn't the Canary this time

Still mystified by the silence from the media on why these people are trying to get to the UK. Four people and only one motivation is discussed: for the person to be with their brother. Pathetic reportage.

Because if they reported that there were reasons other than free TVs and five star hotels (both lies anyway) the far right would get all pouty

Has anyone questioned why the whole "free house, free TV, front of the queue" stuff - abject bollocks to anyone with even the tiniest sliver of knowledge - might act as an attractant when relayed as fact by the usual suspects? I know that it's way too late to be starting now, but that means it's only the second best time to do so. Tell the poor sods the truth: you can't work, you're given pocket money; you're shoved into any available accommodation at the lowest possible cost (except to the private sector landlords); you're likely to get shunted around at a moments notice, etc.
If the entire local population of a given area has been radicalised to believe immigrants are a threat, how is integration supposed to happen at all, much less be successful?
Labour Party, my arse.
