all sounds like Britain going to the dogs? isn’t there an Isle of Dogs?
Just build more houses.
Stop rubber boat people and cleanse society of illegals here already.
Yes 
Oh I do love the compassion on this forum…warms my heart. 
Compassion for economic “migrants”? Purleese.
I know, I know…but it just sounds harsh the way everyone speaks about them. And while I agree with the injustice of it, and the way our govt isn’t dealing with it at all…can you honestly say hand on heart that you wouldn’t seek a better life elsewhere, in that situation?
Seek - of course, but not lie through my teeth to achieve it.
Because they have no financial assets, simples.
@The_Artful_Todger , " l hate socialism with a vengeance"
That’s why you love Russia then ??
Donkeyman! 
Yes you would. Everybody would. There is no way anyone would spend all that money, and take all those risks, to turn around and say “sorry, I’m just here to see what I can get, because life back in my country is quite depressing actually, I’ll be poor all my life, and I’m not really going to get a decent house or anything, so…let me in why dontchya?”
Russia is not Socialist. The USSR ended in the early 90’s. Today Russia and most of the Russian Federation is much closer to Depression era America.
@The Artful Todger, So they say, Russia was never ever a communist or
a socialist state , the citizens have NEVER been allowed a vote untill
Putin took over, and that was rigged as there was no other candidate !!
Donkeyman! 
Hardly. The history of Russia and the USSR is fascinating to say the least. It also depends on who you ask!
I hear all the oligarchs have second homes in Russia then? ah brings back shades of Dr Shivargo heh?
