  2. No, it's because of the price of tea in China.

  3. The benefits offered to asylum seekers in the UK aren't all that grand compared to continental Europe. But your tolerance of illegals who've been denied asylum or never bothered to apply is rather grand in comparison.

  4. Didn't everyone get to vote on those EU directives, the UK included? When still a member, the UK could even have vetoed them.

  5. Don't flatter yourselves unduly. It's your lax legislation -- a huge black job market and lack of ID cards -- that make the UK a premier destination for illegal immigrants. On the continent, we know better.
