PUBS CLOSED… BORDERS OPEN: Brits Demand Action On Illegal Migrant Invasion Amid Lockdown

HOME Secretary Priti Patel has been criticised for not doing enough to tackle illegal immigration amid the Coronavirus pandemic as Brits are lockdown and pubs are closed, yet migrants continue to pour in the country.  

The current crisis has seen hundreds of illegal migrants arrive on Britain’s shores, adding to the 20,703 people who came last year, according to official government statistics.

Tory MP’s are raising concerns but the main political figure questioning this is the former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage, who covered the issue for LBC, leading to the police to contact him over violating lockdown rules.

Conservative MP for Dover Natalie Elphicke has said: “Today’s brazen illegal crossings as we celebrate #VEDay75 is another reminder why firm action is needed to stop the ruthless smuggling gangs & return boats to France.”

“Since December I have been calling on the home secretary to ensure small boats are returned to France and that we put an end to these illegal small boat crossings organised by criminal gangs.

“The home secretary has listened and taken action. This week she agreed fresh steps with France with more stringent patrols and work towards returns.

“Only when migrants and traffickers alike know that they will not succeed in breaking into Britain in this way will these dangerous journeys cease.”

Romford MP Andrew Rosindell wrote a letter to Patel so the issue could be tackled.

Patel sais she was ‘listening to concerns about migrant boats and taking action’ and the main solution that came out of a meeting was to ‘increase financial support to the French to try and tackle the issue’.

Many have criticised Patel for this solution, feeling it wasn’t doing enough to tackle the problem.

User Alison Parr felt that it was simply ‘paying France’ (arguing that the Dublin III regulation – which determines the EU’s asylum policies, and affects non-EU members like Switzerland, Norway and Iceland – should be revoked) and Dover based business owner Clive Solly replied to the message with a bunch of angry emojis to express his frustration at nothing being done.

Populist commentator and former UKIP Lambeth representative David Poulden highlighted that she should simply ‘stop the boats’, and former UKIP leader Gerard Batten felt that she ‘shouldn’t ask the French’ and instead should ‘use what’s left of the Navy for something useful’ by turning the boats back.

Meanwhile, others simply felt that she was all talk, no action. Nature based Twitter account Cowslip stated that there should be ‘no more money to France’ and Parish Councillor Brian Silvester argued that people concerned didn’t want Patel to ‘listen to concerns but ‘turn the boats back’.

Former MEP Janice Atkinson felt it was odd that ‘we can’t do anything about returning illegal migrants to France until after Brexit transition ends’ and suggesting that it was only a matter of time until there was ‘none left in Calais camps’. Immigration restrictions advocacy group Migration Watch UK also highlighted that for them, it was  a case of ‘actions speak louder than words’.

Politicians are wrong about what the public want

So the, out of touch political elite are trying to say that the public would be happy to cough up an extra £2000 a year, per household to prop up the NHS?  Advertisers website Wrong! While many British families struggle to make ends meet, the political elite thinks that people will be glad to fund a failing business that is being run into the ground because of their failed policies on how the NHS is managed? No. This just shows that we have monkeys running our country! Many people on Facebook have shared the above post on various pages; a large number of those people don't even do politics. If our political elite were more than just yes men weighed down by the chains of political correctness, they would see that the people of Britain have had enough.  Ever increasing taxation to try and fix their mistakes?  Continuiosly using the NHS as a stick to beat the opposition or a classic party political paper dragon!

Billionaire globalist and altogether controversial figure, George Soros, is now the subject of a $10 billion lawsuit accusing him of being a “racketeer billionaire” for meddling in the affairs of a sovereign African nation — purely for personal reasons — in what critics say typifies his modus operandi. See what others are saying about Soros and who he is in the comments section below. FOX News reports the 86-year-old financier and manager of a global network of nonprofits will be forced by BSG Resources’ lawsuit to answer for manipulating the politics and economics of Guinea for his own benefit Despite Soros’ often contentious dealings and reputation as a pompous busybody, the filing in New York Federal Court has thus far largely escaped the spotlight. Soros, who controls a web of international nonprofits in addition to his vast financial empire, used his sway with the government of Guinea to freeze Israeli company BSG Resources out of the West African nation’s lucrative iron ore mini
