Have they tried Calais?
So , as more social housing creeps nearer to areas devoid of such, then the tenants find more lucrative ways of adding a little extra to their overly generous benefits.
No longer content to steal a second hand 60” tv, when richer pickings are within easy reach.
So as our country now has a Labour government, and no hope of ever ending the limitless stream of illegals, expect more social housing to creep ever closer with predictable outcomes.
yep – these sponging, deadbeat layabouts are coming from countries where anyone with any money and expensive possessions, live in security compounds and all their stuff is guarded and locked down, to prevent these thieving, spongers from nicking it.
now they are showing up here – where they see that this sort of security isn’t part of daily life and they are carrying on being the burdensome parasites that they have always been
A positive is, as crime, and anti social behaviour starts affecting those who ‘thought’ they had ‘bought their self away from such’, now find it starts ruining their lives, then something ‘may’ be done about it.
But with a Labour Government, that hope is now lost.
Reform here, and Le Penn, in France and Trump in the states was the West’s last hope of at least slowing the inevitable slide downwards, as the West is filled with non European traits, cultures, and standards which to them, is normal, but to us is deplorable.
The experiment of mixing social tenants with private housing, in the vain hope the lower elements would take on the traits and aspirations of the better classes failed, as mix of third world into the west will
Ooh a disgruntled Deform Brexiteer by the sound of it LOL love these comments.
Yes, sneer, insult, all you like, as that is ‘all’ you have, as you cannot disagree with the fact that filling a country with a true, never ending amount of people who have ruined every areas they choose to reside in en-masse ANYWHERE on the planet cannot be legitimately disagreed with.
That is why Governments have had to make race rules and laws, for often what normal people say is true, but like your good self, it is soooo much easier if every anti immigrant voice is ‘made out’ to be a union jack wearing slob.
Most are not, hence the insults and backlash, as you know what is said is often spot-on
Here you go again like a dog with a bone. Have a rest
If it was “seen” heading towards Chichester, you would think that a quick phone call to the KHM Radar watch (which misses nothing) would have been able to track it. Alternatively, a harbour or police patrol near the entrance to Ch harbour would have spotted it. But we don’t do that sort of thing in Britain, do we?
Yet had it had been a craft filled with illegal, unknown, unchecked, beings, breaking into our country, the RNLI, the Police, & countless others would be their to start the massive spending from the get-go.
Yet the Police would likely not bother to turn up for a stolen boat.
We are paying ever more on stealth taxes, income tax & Council tax, to fund the criminals, mental, work shy, & illegal migrants, all of who pay nothing, & end up with a higher income than many workers now.
This needs to stop & people voted wrongly for the Labour party who will take more from workers to fund the feckless which they ONLY see as victims, never the perpetrator of their lives woes.
Try that lot a Treefields .Ryde.Whole complex of Criminals.Mental.Work shy.Costing us tax payers over a million pounds a year .And they live the life of Riley. Disgusting
Robot, it was understandable and just about acceptable when it was just our home grown useless who we had to ‘keep’. Yet now it is the worlds as well.
Few people would object to our own GENUINE disabled or mental people getting help, but not the amount of money and level to elevate their lifestyle to higher than normal working people.
But these levels of easy benefits are now encouraging the world to arrive here.
Whilst some come to work, many earn low wages, so STILL claim thousands in benefits, and gain a free or heavily subsidised rental home and council tax.
All of course get costly for us, but free to them education, health care and an eventual pension.
Most will NEVER pay in enough to cover it all.
Probably fed up waiting for a Unreliable Ferry so went to
extreme measures to get to the mainland.
Thank goodness I don’t seem to live on the same Island as many of those writing comments on this article, or even on the same planet.
No generosity of spirit, no sense of shared humanity …. They live in a dark world of their own, blind to anything but bitterness. Perhaps they dont even live here.
where is the generosity of spirit and share humanity of the deadbeat sponging layabouts that show up here in dinghys and expect to be housed and catered for by us, at our expense
CCTV is a good idea, needs to be rolled out in many areas.
