half-genius, half-wit |
it's not real, but the fact that it can be made into a joke tells you something of the state of things in the UK right now. A reminder that less than two weeks ago, a refrigerated trailer was found in Essex, not far from one of the largest container ports in Europe, with 39 dead Vietnamese illegals in the back, and two night ago, another truck, with fifteen more, this time alive, was intercepted in Wiltshire. Anyhow, here's the spoof news, slightly bittersweet... The Royal Navy intercepted three boatloads of people off the coast of Kent today. This placed the Royal Navy in an awkward position, as the boats were not heading to, but away from, Kent towards France. Another surprise finding was that they were loaded with British people who were all seniors of pensionable age. Their claim was that they were trying to get to Calais so as to be able to return to the UK as illegal immigrants and therefore be entitled to far more government benefits than they were receiving as legitimate UK pensioners. The Royal Navy, it is reported, gave them food, water and fuel and assisted them on their journey. Meanwhile, we are booking on the next boat out; let us know if you want to come. | ||

My wife is Dutch. Once-upon-a-time we planned to retire to the Netherlands. Then, when the time arrived to begin planning it, we found out how much housing would cost, how difficult it would be to acquire it anywhere in the North Holland province, and how much has changed since she came here. We have pretty much abandoned the idea. Then she had a flash of inspiration: Enter the country illegally, claim refugee status, and get free housing nearly instantly--along with a raft of other "government"-supplied benefits. All of western Europe, along with the UK, seems bent on self-destruction "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system,,,, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe "If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living." -- Seneca the Younger, Roman Stoic philosopher | |||
