Not my problem. Should have stayed at home. There all bloody scroungers, go and scrounge in your own countries.
Oh dear, never mind
As the Police have arrested people for "facilitating illegal immigration" concerning this case, it is confirmed that these people are Illigal immigrants. Not "migrants" And not "refugees".
Don’t get on the boat………🤷♂️

Govt should ban such unsafe activity
🥲

Rishi Sunak is really stopping the boats! 👎

Labour wants to build more homes on green belt land, not surprising when the number of migrants arriving in the uk each year is equal to the population of a small city.
