Thought for today:
" So, let me get this straight so that I completely understand the situation. If you cross the North Korean border illegally, you get 12 years hard labour. If you cross the Afghanistan border illegally, you get shot. Two Americans recently got sentenced to 8-years imprisonment for crossing the Iranian border without the proper documents. If you cross the French border illegally, you will be put on the next ferry for Great Britain. But if you cross the U.K. border illegally, you will get a job, a driver's licence, food stamps, a place to live that nobody earning less than £50,000 a year could afford, education and a tax-free business for seven years if you sell the 'Big Issue' and state that you are self-employed. If the Emigration Authorities ever catch up with you and try to deport you, you will be able to spend the next fifteen years and £3 million of tax payer's money hiring the best barristers in the land to defend your human rights.Meanwhile, you and your extended family will be fully provided for. We really are a joke and kid ourselves if we think that we all bat on an even wicket. I'm Irish by birth and yet it really offends my sensibilities that the people of England are taken for granted and ignored as a race. No wonder we're in debt!" William Forde: March 5th, 2013.
