How wonderful you work hard and buy a nice house in a nice area and Andy Burnham PM wants to put foreign men we know nothing about who come from third world countries in the house next door to you and your family and the final straw is they don't have to pay a penny it's all free for them, no wonder they are rushing to board the Mega Boats bringing in 230 men a time here. Ain't life grand well it is for them, utopia.

I feel sorry for those migrants and refugees who have followed correct procedure,endured long waits and sometimes are refused. What must they be thinking when people just fetch up with no papers and no checks ? Think of them before rushing to house the queue jumpers. Also, what about the people who are desperately poor and sleep in shop doorways and would just grab at the chance of a roof over their heads and a bit of pocket money ? Priorities.
