WHAT? You mean OTHER countries does bad stuff just like the US?
What a shocker, I thought only the US did bad stuff.

I'd like to hear the airport customs side of the story before rushing to judgement over claims made by a couple of people.
If things are that bad you'd think there would be hundreds of complaints.
Seems like there'd also be a ton of videos of these people being arrested, abused , and paraded through the airport.

Britain’s always been like that.
My wife, kid and I drove to England via the Dunkirk - Dover ferry a few years ago.

So, picture this... we’re going on a 4 week holiday in Ford Fiesta, the car is jam-packed with suitcases, toys, a special matrass for someone’s back... basically a year’s supply of clothing... and obviously nearly none of it for me... just sayin’.

So, we get stopped by British customs. And they get me to open the car, take out bags, etc.
So, I ask them: “Looking for drugs, eh?”
Officer: “No sir. Refugees.”
Me: “Right. Hidden in a fcking Ford Fiesta?”
Officer: “You can never be too sure, sir.”
Me: “That’s a debatable interpretation.”
Officer: “Enough of your lip, sir. Please step back.”

I kid you not. True story.
I googled it when I got to my friend’s house: “How many refugees sneak into the UK in fully packed Ford Fiestas?”

Answer: 0

Who’d a thunk it?

The UKs ‘hostile environment’ predates Trump by quite some time, it was the environment responsible for the ‘Windrush Scandal’.
The mystery is why we are not welcoming these incoming workers with open arms, my guess would be Boris has got one eye on the ‘patriotic’ ‘Red Wall’ that prefers control over common sense and prosperity.

The Holy Guardian team are impressive; I mean with all this border injustice going on and they’ve not only managed to bag a media exclusive on “Mr Gabriel Martini’s” plight, but also on the entire topic...I mean there is no one talking about all the other cases anywhere else.

I didn’t mention “the US” did I? I can tell you’re wriggling.
