    Indeed-modern slavery right in front of our eyes .

    Most of the slaves don't have a national insurance number so can't work legitimately or claim benefits and the car wash owners exploit this.

    That's why I NEVER use a hand car wash. However in Keighley most of the taxi firms seem to use them.

    14 day quarantine from travellers from France. Might be best travelling from Holland now.

    So who is to blame that the NHS and social services are underfunded and cant cope?

    Interestingly during lockdown A+E admissions plummeted from the "indiginous population". So we suddenly stopped being ill during lockdown? OR is it the truth the NHS is abused by the indiginous population. More likely.

    I had 15 hospital appointments cancelled , the NHS and Social services are bottomless money pits run by idiots who see money as no object . Have you ever been abroad ? if you have did you require hospital treatment and get it for free ?, why should people ( illegal queue jumpers ) be given all what we in this country work for FOC ?. Like i've said no problem for genuine asylum seekers that deserve a chance , but they arn't genuine they can't be bothered to wait they pay through the nose and destroy all their documentation do you think thats fair ? How many do you think this island ( the most densly populated area in Europe ) should take 100s - 1000s - millions maybe ? . They are economic migrants they should seek asylum in their 1st safe area , not travel across war torn europe to come to this deeply racist country. The Hospitals / doctors closed their doors to all but dire emergencies so that sort of defeats your argument . I wonder if a UK citizen pitched up in any country in the world would they be allowed to stay ? , would they be allowed to enter without passports- any sort of identity documentation ? . We are a soft touch thats why , scores of Human rights lawyers making fortunes . Because anybody that disagrees with these illegal economic migrants they are dismissed as racist i'm far from being racist (as anybody who knows my family background will confirm ) enough is enough .

    You do know that there are many people indiginous to this country who have never paid in to the system who have access to the NHS for free that have never worked a day in their life.
    As for the A+E bit-no doors were closed for admissions.

    No point worrying about a few thousand crossing the channel when up to 3 million invited Chinese are on the way,

    No point in worrying about a few thousand crossing the channel when our incompetent excuse for a government is throwing hundreds of millions of pounds on PPE that isn't fit for purpose.

    This is the benefits fallacy all over again.
    Some of you lot worry and complain about a few million in benefits fraud, while the rich and privileged are dodging taxes by the billions every year. But don't let logic get in the way of a long held prejudice, eh?

    I'm not getting into the bigger immigration debate but the paragraph above is absolutely nail on head stuff.

    The benefits are a bit of a distraction but worthy of debate.

    The real issue to me is whether its worthwhile having an immigration system at all if you're willing to accept people circumventing that and paying thousands to criminals to get here?

    Rather than deal in myths and rumours and what appears in some of our nationalist media, here are the numbers of asylum seekers in some of the larger EU countries for the latest year

    Germany 142,450
    France 138,290
    Spain 115,170
    Greece 74,905
    UK 44,250
    Italy 35,005
    Sweden 23,125
    Belgium 23,100
    Netherlands 22.480

    EU Total 675,400

    Other EU countries did far more to help asylum seekers than the UK and even countries with far smaller populations than our own such as Belgium and Sweden (both about one-sixth of ours) received proportionately far more asylum seekers thann we have. The idea that every asylum seeker crosses the channel on a lilo and flocks to the UK because of our benefit sytem or our health system or because it's the land of milk and honey is a myth.

    Yes, we did receive a lot of asylum seekers but despite what the some newspapers and politicians suggest, we are not as strong a magnet as many other European countries.
