When we used to visit Oz on duty,we learned very quickly that their customs are all powerful and they have absolutely no sense of humour.

Considering today when green peace was doing their demonstration in perth they were screaming, say it loud say it clear refugees are welcome here, i think theyre either mad or missinformed,

The customs is ridiculus adds 30 minutes onto you travels!

Perhaps the Aborigines should have done the same.

Oz would be like mars as nothing would be accomplished lol

So, if Britain is to follow that example, where can the boaters be sent? There seems to be a deal between the Australian and the PNG leader. Who should Britain deal with, why and with what? Any ideas?

If it were me, I'd send them to Puffin Island where the seagulls rule. These immigrants are very smart. They'll soon open shops and sell fish to the gulls. Job done with no deal. Then Britain can still ask them to pay tax on their earnings.

Turbohot

Them means immigrants from the boat, not the seagulls. Deal evolved there^ but with immigrants, not with the seagulls.

Perhaps but the Aborigines wouldn't have been subject to systematic attempts to eradicate them from history.

Turbohot

Aborigines should have let the foreigners settle, develop the place and make them pay taxes on their earnings. They shouldn't have let them become the rulers.

What makes you think immigrants pay tax? Any tax the immigrants pay (if any) is claimed back when they leave to go home, Then they come back and the whole process starts again.

Not so easy at the point of a gun

What a fanciful world you reside in.

mrmadcap

I think it is you that is living in the 'fanciful' world, take your head out of your chocolate starfish!

correct, upon arrival any immigrant wanting to work from the eu. is given a ni number, this entitles them to child benefit for any children living back home, if they take a job on min wage and have 3 kids they will get more child benefit than they pay tax , AND THAT'S A FACT

dpb

What's that got to do with people smuggling..?

What you're describing is people moving about the EU.

lol brilliant

Turbohot

Idea but why Wales?

They could make Clwyd Theatr Cymru the centre for rehabilitation and use the underground car parks for accommodation.

Turbohot

That makes no sense. Theatr Clwyd is overflowing with performances. There's no room there.

LOL, that's right. There is not a single immigrant paying net tax in the whole of the UK. And anyway only about 3 of them actually pay tax, the rest are scrounging scum! Oh and this has very little to do with asylum seekers in Australia, but why let that get in the way of yet another of your hate fuelled rants!

You must come across people of immigrant descent in your job if you work in the training sector as you would have us believe. I wonder how they would feel about your views? Or your employer for that matter? Although in reality I susepct you aren't anywhere near as extreme as you seem to like to be perceived on here!

Turbohot

Some do not distinguish between a legal and illegal immigrant, f1. Being foreign means being illegal to them. Foreign doctors; engineers; nurses; therapists; artists, corner shops owners; academics; some prominent business tycoons; the lot. Immigrant? Must be scrounging. Immigrant? Must have come over either via a boat hiding in a ship container or on the back of some ******* lorry.

Ah OK thanks. I see. I thought many were just normal hardworking people that were using the opportunities the UK has given them to have a better life. I thought that the country benefited by having many of them here. Thank you for putting me right... scroungers and illegals the lot of them

tony de wonderful

Yeah they are real *****, but one reason is to protect native flora and forna so I kind of understand it.

I got asked one time if I had **** on my laptop though. Not sure what that had to do with anything.

dpb

Customs have more power than anybody, where ever you happen to be!

cster

Don't take it personally - they are just xenophobic.
Funnily enough, they are completely unaware of this fact.

Leslie

I was not intending to criticise them. They have a right to do their job.
