That's rubbish..the same amount and effort and resources could be used to find them and deport them. People are fed up of being told this - 'oh the problem is too big so let's just let them stay here' and take jobs while those who are legally here or better still born here, are left unemployed. Not to mention the cost to the taxpayer in benefits to those become unemployed instead of doing black market jobs, or better still keep their black market jobs and claim benefits too.

Oh and then there's the message that would be sent to other aspiring illegal migrants. Just give more money to the Police and other agencies so that they can do a more effective job in finding these people, and keeping them out in the first place.


You are completely out of touch with public opinion James and you can't depend on hung parliaments everytime there's an election.

I think that's true too. But only those without any blemish would self declare and it would do nothing to deter future illegal migrants from crossing half of europe (even though they are supposed to claim asylum in the first country) to get here.


I think what's really neeeded is an overhual of the european laws on illegal migration because half of europe ignore them anyway. Plus we need to process illegal migrants far more quickly. It's ludicrous that appeal after appeal can drag on for years giving more than ample opportunity to 'disappear'. The whole student visa system needs tightening up, along with closing down all the bogus colleges/ courses that start up, to accomodate what is essentially a scam in trafficking ultimately illegal migrants. It all just needs tougher regulation and faster processing, which means resources. You'll never eradicate it completely but we can do far better than we have been doing so far.

    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down! 
    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
