How the f**k is this the UK's fault?

The UK should be claiming compo from all other EU states when refugees come in via the mainland.

I agree with that too. The main problem is a lack of will from the government. It is not the government who suffers or pays; it is the ordinary folk and their taxes. Unfortunately the legal profession do very well from the refugees using our taxes to fund their cases.

While we are in emigrant bashing mode (illegal and others) I also get peed off because in order to have a residents parking permit, I need to have my car logbook in the name and the address of that area,. However Polish residents who have their cars registered in Poland are exempt from the rule. Many of their cars are right hand drive British cars registered in Poland, some are Polish Vans sign-written for their UK businesses. All of them seem to be flouting the rule that cars can only be imported for six months and afterwards they must be UK registered.

Yes but those immigrants were running away (with probably silent consent of the French) via the tunnel into the UK - whatever the French did it certainly did not justify lax security on the British part.

Silent consent? The French police used to give away one-way tickets on the shuttle. Cheaper to French taxpayers than social security.

Used to be in Denmark that a foreign registration would cause whatever system, i.e. parking permits, tickets, speeding fines to ABEND. I guess it is still the case considering the numbers of Polish registered vehicles I've seen parked even more dangerously than that the Danes do. Which I must say I find quite an achievement in itself.

Then UK's Govt should sue them for the consequences of such actions: the bottom line is that these refugees were only using the tunnel because they knew they would have a very good chance of not being caught.

Hmmm probally get around the congestion charge & Gatso with that one too!... must be a market for importing right hand drive, Polish registered vehicles into the UK
