so let me get this straight....

... If you cross the North Korean border illegally, you get 12 yrs. hard labour. If you cross the Afghanistan border illegally, you get shot. Two Americans just got eight years for crossing the Iranian border. If you cross the UK border illegally you get a job, a drivers license, food stamps 4 tesco, a place to live, health care, housing & child benefits, education, & a tax free business for 7 yrs ...No wonder we are a country in debt.

Here is some extra facts to consider:

1) In North Korea population have to eat grass to survive
2) In Afghanistan life expectancy is 45 years
3) In Iran people get hang publicly for stuff like "witchcraft"

Question - would you rather live in UK with "lax" border controls or there?

And if you believe the crap you read in the papers, you get to spend your life brooding resentfully over a load of stuff that isn't true.

It never ceases to amaze me that people take bollocks like this at face value. You probably think it's a really cushy life in prison as well, what with all the free Xboxes and 50 inch plasma TVs convicts are given to help pass the time when it's too rainy to be taken to the seaside at your personal expense

Really?!!! XBoxes and 50 inch screens. Bastards!

Human rights state PS3s, Sky Sports and 60 inch tellies. I'd rather be shot.

What like the Guardian saying the rich are getting richer, having a great time and laughing at people like you?

That's a bit rich. Everyone knows that having morals puts food on the plate.

What point are you trying to make? That the better your standard of living the slacker your border controls should be?

I would have put it the other way around myself.

Higher standards of living achieved in the type of Govt that does not shoot people left right and center.
