IT WORRIES a lot of people to see photos of the compound in France full of would-be immigrants to the UK.

Their comments that they will get to the UK eventually mean that they are aware of a free handout when they get here.

There will not be enough jobs to go around. So what of the other countries of Europe that they must have travelled through to get here? Obviously no handouts there.

Why aren’t they turned away by our so called European brethren? They should never have got so far.

As usual this country bears the cost of the thousands that have arrived already.

Surely someone in this weak Government of ours has authority to take severe action.

To emphasise the ridiculous situation, the Home Office is taking serious action to return one pregnant Australian lady to her homeland.

Never mind the fact that she has an English husband and two children already and is already established as a decent citizen.

The Home Office should hang its head in shame for the thousands of illegal immigrants. Who said the lunatics weren’t running the asylum?
