Douglas is confused about the laws on immigration (there is no one law on immigration).. Contradictory though it is, a migrant can arrive in the UK with no documentation, claim asylum, and that is legal (hence no migrants are arrested in Dover). Until that law is changed, the law on entering a country illegally (without valid documentation) is irrelevant.

@lr6477 In law it is only permitted to seek asylum once in the UK, whatever the means of arrival, so even if there were prisons aplenty, the migrants would be allowed to claim asylum and stay. Unless that law is changed, the arrivals will keep increasing. It's that simple. It neds to be reversed, namely, asylum in the UK can ONLY be claimed outside the UK, and those arriving with no valid documentation will be deported immediately and stripped of all valuables to pay for such service.

"they've decided to wean themselves off"...NO, they have decided to abruptly cut themselves off totally, if Russia so decides.

If only Putin were PM. None of this nonsense would be happening.

Just absurd that the covid jabs were ever called "vaccines". A vaccine prevents the individual from getting infected and from spreading the disease. The covid jabs were just treatments, something that would decrease death rates and maybe, hospitalizations, like staying fit and getting fresh air would also achieve.

Johnson kicked out of power, not Putin. Macron's party in a minority in the French Assembly, not Putin's. Germany considering energy rationing and shortening school hours in winter, not Putin. Euro has collapsed in value, the ruble hitting record highs. Yet the West concludes...the Sanctions are working?! Putin is laughing

Ditto....it was obviously a scam when "doctors" were telling us that the way to combat a virus was to stay indoors, avoid getting out into fresh air and natural Vitamin D, keep wearing cloth masks that don't work.
