Yesterday, Natacha Bouchart, the Mayor of Calais, cleared up a mystery that has apparently baffled Parliament for decades.
It seems that for many years parliamentarians have wondered why it is that countless thousands of economic migrants have resorted to the most bizarrely dangerous means of getting into Britain. They have squeezed themselves into the engine compartments of motor vehicles; they have squeezed into the wheel arches and hung from the axles and suspension struts of vehicles; they have clung to the undersides of speeding trains, had themselves sealed into airtight containers and freezer containers; and they have clung to the undercarriage of aircraft, and throughout all these years our parliamentarians have never once suspected the real reason for these life threatening modes of transport. Apparently they simply assumed that it was symptomatic of a tendency towards dare devilry and bizarre exhibitionism on the part of the illegal immigrants concerned.
Now however, Natacha Bouchart has let the parliamentarians into the little secret that has eluded them for so long. She told a stunned home affairs select committee that immigrants have taken these great risks simply in order to gain access to Britain’s incredibly generous welfare benefits!
Well, that’s absolutely amazing — who would have thought that?
Mrs Bouchart told the select committee, that immigrants are prepared to “die” to get to Britain because they think they will get good benefits, she said, where benefits are concerned, Britain had a “much more favourable regime” than France.
She said the UK was seen as an Eldorado among immigrants, adding: “What Britain is offering is understood around the world.”
Mrs Bouchart’s visit to Westminster comes amid mounting concern about the impact of large numbers of people gathering on the French coast trying to get to the UK and we can be grateful to her for imparting such great wisdom and understanding to our parliamentarians, not that we should hold our breath waiting for them to sensibly employ that wisdom and understanding.

It proves our government are wilfully ignorant as this has been said before probably several times.
These migrants are economic, one TV commenter was saying they think £36 per week is worth coming for.
Now the fact they don’t have free movement to come here indicates they are not EU citizens & haven’t claimed asylum despite being in Europe, having passed through safe countries, so their claims should be rejected on the grounds of being false or lies when they get here.
The point that is being missed here is why are they allowed to travel unhindered across France?
I guess they know they’re not stopping there & feel the problem solves itself but it still causes problems for French citizens.
The EU should take anyone like this to an internment camp outside of Europe to be processed, lease a piece of desert for the purpose.
That’ll help put some off.

Is the Calais Mayor allowed to say the community feel swamped?

Besides we have an asylum backlog despite giving many amnesties to clear previous backlogs.
It was said on the news that experienced staff were got rid of, why?
It all adds up to this being a deliberate policy where everything is set up to fail.
How else does repeated unpunished incompetence & failure get explained?

Members of Parliament past and present must be held responsible for their dereliction of duties. Nearly 30% of my pension is taken in Council tax, had I not been prudent and skimped in the past I would be cold and hungry. Why on earth did I bother, so that immigration / invasion might be financed?

Then there’s the issue of rescue at sea which is being scaled back as they have recognised it is a “Migrant magnet” with the smugglers think their “job” will be done for them, the navy as a delivery system of last resort.
I wonder about the millionaire couple with a yacht who were rescuing migrants & delivering them to the mainland, will they be stopped or at least be sent the bill for caring for those rescued?

I often hear our politicians & the PC crowd saying we must be seen as tolerant & open, which is why the Conservatives wanted to waste money on foreign aid which even official sources say has done little good.
So the above is a consequence of that policy, so if we have nothing to offer along with enforcement of the border that would help the situation?
Nonsense is talked about controlled immigration but what is the limit on that?
They should be honest & say we don’t want any limits, open the doors & get the collapse over & done with.
Then the stupid liberals will be affected in their lifetimes with their kids out competed on every front for resources like the rest of us on a deliberately uneven playing field.
They want a form of civil war here.

Oh & I see the likes of Margaret Hodge & Keith Vaz to name but two, pontificating about the faults in the system that they must have had a hand in, when Tony Blair was letting the hordes in, a process started under John Major but in various ways dating back to WW2.
Remember Barking? Which immigration helped win that for Labour against the “scaremongering” of “Nazi” Nick Griffin.
These hypocrites think we all have Alzheimer’s & that we can’t see cause & effect.

One of the other reason for this invasion is that immigrants ‘do the jobs that the British won’t do’. There isn’t a job that a native Britain would not do. There are jobs that are so badly paid that the indigenous people won’t do them. Let’s look at this another way. Was cotton and tobacco picking jobs that whites wouldn’t do? Have we simply moved to an era where slaves volunteer to move into slavery? The causes of both are easy to see. Capitalist greed.

It’s amazing that these highly educated polticains need to ”learn” things that the average person knows without having to be told. Maybe, in five years’ time, one of these people will say that multicultral socities are more prone to civil disorder. That will, of course, be the result of millions of pounds of research, and it will be shut up by the leftiest-Zion press for being ”racist”.

BBC R2 Vanessa Feltz standing in for Jeremy Vine asks , Do we have a double standard with regards to asylum seakers today compared with … wait for it …… the Jews who came here escaping the Nazis.
This followed the News announcement that the Government had decided to end its support to the Mediterranean refugee rescue operation.
This scam errr I mean scheme is where a boatload of invaders errr refugees manage to procure a vessel and navigate it towards Southern Europe at which point a rescue craft is sent out to meet them to thank them for bringing their diversity to us if not their Ebola.
Bizarrely the Italians are to continue with this insane plot . “If you build it they will come “.
This followed a different News item where some lemming was telling the listerners that more needed to be done to help these asylum seakers , that there were more asylum seakers today than ever before and it is our duty to be humane and bring them in and clithe and home and feed them.
I thought about our ancestors who built this Nation.
Well done BBC R2
If at first you dont succeed …. invoke the nasty nartzees.

I appreciated the extended use of irony in this piece, it is most effective. This evening on the radio, a family of asylum seekers from Sierra Leone, part of the 30,000 backlog of applications, said they fled to the UK fearing their daughter would be forcibly genitally-mutilated. They did not wish to go to any other country,’only the UK’ said their inarticulate father. Yes, the politicians must be deaf not to have heard the thousands of statements by immigrants likening Britain to Eldorado. Regarding the female circumcision: this has been practised for many centuries. in moslem countries. Easy access to the west by the inventions of the Europeans, means they so easily fly here to make their nonsennsical claims for asylum. Of course, every last one of them should be expelled as soon as possible.

I feel sorry for the French citizens of Calais, they have to live with this lawless pack among their own sucking their local services dry, they cannot sell their houses and maybe one day will launch a class action against the UK gov for their losses.
I also feel sorry for the ferry workers, freight drivers, immigration officials, travelers and people of Dover. But most of all I feel sorry for my own nation and it’s people. Unless we have a strong government, one that throws all illegals into prisons or detention camps to await a swift removal, unless we have a strong government who uses the definitions of asylum seekers as written, unless we have a British government forwarding British policies first and only, these people will never cease to attempt entry to our lands.
Labour, Tory or LibDem all shed crocodile tears but never take any real action on these issues, such is their thirst for the ethnic votes. Keep sucking it up you Loyal three party morons, it’s your jobs, your homes, your schools, your hospitals and your neighbourhoods and your childrens futures next..
Natacha Bouchart should move here and maybe the Lady could teach our own brand of politicians,local and national, the values of speaking those uncomfortable truths.
The sooner our nation starts toughening up the better for us and the poor folks in Calias and surrounding areas..

How can any one of these immigrants claim asylum if entering from France? The French treat them well enough, feed them, offer them shelter they refuse, most even seem to have free mobile phones.
As has been stated many times before our successive governments have allowed this stream of the worlds greatest parasites entry for purposes not beneficial to the native people of these lands. Our governments are acting in the interests of their financial backers and supporters only. We need a British government badly , we haven’t had one for many decades now and the damage is plain for all to see who shake off the shackles of political correctness and the false shame and guilt it promotes among a decent people, the British people.

We are to ‘celebrate’ these ‘economic migrants’. I personally have a celebration party every week, in which I celebrate the wonders of the non-white world now in my homeland.
Of course, we have to build many more houses – sorry – ‘homes’ for our new friends, but who cares about the countryside anyway, when we have ‘X Factor’ and ‘Strictly’, not to mention the ‘UEFA Champions League’! I know which I’d rather have!
Anyone who critcises our new economic migrants should be aware that they benefit our economy ENORMOUSLY. For in the dark ages of the 19th and early 20th centuries, before we were blessed with our new friends, Britain was really struggling in the ‘economic marketplace’, I’m sure.
Our new immigrant friends have an amazing ability: they can ‘boost our economy’ by spending money that originated from within our economy in the first place. It’s an amazing trick. Supermarkets cite this trick as the reason they must take over whole towns, closing all of the small shops. It’s a good thing really, because they ‘create jobs’ and thus ‘boost our economy’ by circulating money that was already in our economy. Genius! Using the same method, I regularly boost my personal bank account, simply by withdrawing money, and then immediately paying it back in again.

It’s also a form of foreign aid where money flows out because of them sending money home.
Usually if our people go abroad they take money with them, there are a few examples of let say oil workers earning abroad & bringing the money back.

{Note to the others here: The following is meant to be very sarcastic and is obviously not my real view!}
.
All this kind of talk is news to me! I can’t believe how nasty some people are being to these innocent people – and I cant believe people are blaming each other for what is such a wonderful gift!
.
Some nasty people elsewhere have suggested that these immigration camps are like a vile racist novel called ‘Camp of the Saints’, but the way I have been told to see it is that these people coming who are the saints!
.
Yes, as far as I had understand it from the Guardian and various charities and ministers, these people are just selfless souls who simply cannot wait to add to the ‘rich mix of diversity’ that apparently ‘makes this country so great’.
.
So generous are they that they risk their lives to get here just so that they can grace us with their magical presence.
.
Otherwise, as various MPs (such as Ken Clarke and Margaret Hodge) have stated over the years, we would simply be lost as a nation – lost I tell you! – and entirely unable to cope or prosper financially.
.
Their generosity to help us out has no limits apparently, well, no “upper limits” if one is to paraphrase David Blunkett, who unfortunately now seems to be changing his tune because it is causing a few integration problems with his Pakistani voters who are ignorantly complaining about Roma. Shame he is pandering to populist fascism in this way.
.
It must be understood that all these third world people are just falling over themselves to get here and help us white people fix our civilisation problems, to bring us religion and cultural values that we no longer have.
.
They have been said to have been the elixir of this nation – and allegedly always have been throughout our historical ages…whether they be ‘black Romans’ or random nomadic Islamic tribesmen or Arabic sailors in our ports.
.
In fact, I had heard that they’d actually built this nation – but that they simply did not get the recognition for it because of the racist attitudes of those ‘previous waves’ of white skinned migrants that ‘just happened’ to ‘migrate’ here both before and after the thawing of the last Ice Age.
.
How disturbing. There is SO much work yet to be done to make this unbalance right!
.
This previous white skinned group has been rather idiotically called the indigenous peoples of Britain by all sorts of vile and ignorant people – but as everybody born since 1960 knows, there are no such things in Europe. Only non white people can be indigenous to somewhere and claim to have a homeland. They have real history, real cultures, real bonds to the land, unlike us, who just happened to be blessed with being born with everything on tap for us.
.
As it has always been like this, with this constant ebb and flow of peoples, it would clearly therefore be ridiculous to suggest it ought to be stopped – which is of course what nasty and ignorant people have repeatedly tended to suggest throughout the years.
.
It’s a good job they were never listed to by any of their local representatives in our rich liberal democracy (or from the wider government and media) isn’t it?! There was only the ignorant and prejudiced rants of Enoch Powell that really risked a break of political protocol! Now we have the likes of UKIP and others pushing the same hate.
.
Don’t these bigots realise the wonders it brings? Obviously they really need to be shown and educated even further on how nice these people are and what they have had to suffer in order to help us out. Perhaps then they would change their prejudiced minds! We are only sharing our country after all! We are rich, so there is plenty to go around!
.
Yet despite how generally nasty, racist and xenophobic the citizens are here, these ‘economic migrants’ can still find it in their hearts to forgive us and flock to our racist country regardless. It really is amazing. See! The settlements in Calais really ARE the camps of the saints!
.
We know that the label ‘economic migration’ (when applied to them) actually means the boost they can give to our GDP per capita and GDP per head – so hundreds of thousands of them are out there in Calais and Italy desperately wanting to enrich our world to bring that much needed vibrancy and talent that we are clearly so sorely lacking!
.
So much do we need them that Labour sent out search parties and spent money on recruitment drives abroad! That must prove how vital they are for us.
.
So the least we can do is fish these people out of the ramshackle boats they have volunteered (and paid criminals) to get into and duly welcome them with open arms as they bluster through Calais and other ports of entry…
.
Come one, come all! We have a proud history of tolerance and the welcoming of immigrants and asylum seekers, we can’t break that fabled tradition now.
.
The good news is that there are going to potentially be around 4 Billion third worlder’s in Africa alone who are just itching with good will to get into the Europe by the end of the century!
.
Surely by then we will have excelled beyond our wildest dreams and really reached up to the stars! Can you imagine the wonders it will bring? That untapped talent we will gain? What things will be like?
.
Exciting times are ahead!
.

By the way, Yasmin Alibhai Brown suggested on Radio 2 yesterday that turning these people away and not rescuing people from the sea is an act of genocide. Yes, it is true, she suggested that it was genocidal.
.
It doesn’t matter that they are volunteering to set off, have paid criminals to set off, that they are purposefully leaving their fellow countrymen and women to suffer the fates they are too unwilling to tackle….no….for us to turn them away and leave them to their own chances is ‘genocidal’ according to the aptly named Mrs Brown.
.
What is certainly not genocide though, in her view, is continuing to welcome hoards of desperate third world races into Europe and Britain on a never ending basis that will ultimately eradicate the white race on this islands and on the European mainland. No, that is not genocidal at all…apparently.
.
If you have a strong stomach and can handle Vanessa feltz, Yasmin Alibhai Brown and a spate of near tearful callers condemning our national viciousness and general bigotry, you can find it at the Radio 2 listen again website under the Jeremy Vine Show for 29th October.
.
Do you remember how balanced and impartial the BBC is? It is said to be one of their proudest achievements, after all.
.
Well, do you want to know who they had on to oppose Yasmin Alibhai Brown and make the case against accepting all these people and rescuing all these people?.
.
Just who was it who they had in the studio to tackle this general liberal bleat?…..oh…..that’s right…..errrm…nobody other than Vanessa Feltz feeding some questions for her host!
.
Well done Aunty! Lucky for you I don’t think anybody spotted it, so you’ve successfully pulled the wool over the eyes of the nation once again!
