Our country is run by a bunch of rank amateurs

LIKE many others, I cringe when seeing MPs like Nadia Whittome bleating, in Parliament, about the suffering of these poor refugees fleeing from war and famine.

SPARE US THE BLEEDING HEART MPS

Somebody needs to tell her that the majority of these so-called refugees are economic migrants, well nourished, single, young men who wouldn't know war or famine if they fell over them, and who are making it increasingly more difficult for genuine refugees to gain asylum.

CALL IN ROYAL NAVY TO STOP BOATS

WITH all the brouhaha about Shabana Mahmood's plan to copy the Danish immigration policy, is it me or is it now "a given" that the boats will not be stopped from arriving on the Kent shores in the first place? Surely if there's a big problem, you try to sever it at source? I fancy the Royal Navy must be called in very soon to act upon this before the UK is ruined.

A 20-YEAR WAIT IS AN ABSOLUTE JOKE

SO, ASYLUM seekers may have to wait 20 years before being allowed to possibly stay here? What a joke. We see all of these fit young men with no ID living freely in much better surroundings than many Britons actually do while they get rid of all ways of the authorities tracing their backgrounds.

Many are committing sexual assaults but are being told "you can sponge of us for 20 years but might not be able to stay after that".

Is this supposed to be an improvement in our country? They should be refused entry as soon as they arrive. No other country would let their security be compromised like this.
