Ah, similar to the battle between those gel-haired-agent-cowboys and contractors then.

HTH

PS - Ever tried applying hair gel to your bald head?

My hat slides off

Essentially Brexit is a battle between those of a free spirit who do not trust men in suits to make decisions for them against the statist establishment of conglomerate institutions in business and government.

It means the Jungle will be on the British side and regular successful escape attempts will happen resulting in more Afghan taxi drivers in London

The next major is going to force TFL to limit taxi licences.

So what? Then we do the checks at Folkestone, and send anybody that we refuse back to Calais. The cost (and possible fines) to be borne by Eurostar (majority owner: French state railways).

I think we need to get ahead of the curve and start fencing off Kent in order to house any unwanteds. The garden of England can simply become the garbage can of England. A giant festering carbunkle on the backside of the Home Counties that we can use as a holding depot for the great unwashed immigrant hordes.
You know it makes sense, after all, the whole place reeks of garlic since the chunnel opened anyway.

Flood the chunnel and monetise the whole thing, Running Man style. PPV depth-charging of the channel.

No. If the French close the UK border controls in Calais, then they'll be reopened in Folkestone and vice versa.

Seems like the usual dumb politician brainfart. Almost worth of Trump.

Quite wrong, Trump would have built a wall across the Mediterranean

[shaunbhoy]

And as we all know as soon as they make it onto blighty soil in Folkestone - with a few choice words they will have achieved their dreams

Being out of the EHCR

and others.

EU != ECHR

Different treaty and we are legally bound by it.

Ah, so happy with those 1 million refugees wandering around your streets and taking a dump on your doorstep then

Funnily enough, the only people who I have ever seen piss and tulip in the streets tend to be boozed up Brits on stag weekends in Hamburg and Berlin

[FatLazyContractor]

What did the residents of Cologne do to them?

Shut it BP. They did not quench their thirst. Isn't that enough?
