    Those borders mainly designed to keep people inside and prevent some stupid foreigners from getting in.

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

    I would have put it the other way around myself.

    No-one gets a drivers license in the UK.

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

    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.
