So we should have no stringent checks on just who is coming into our country? Let terrorists walk in?

Look at how Sept 11th attackers got into US.

I don't think that will work.. The real terrorists and Al Qaeda operatives are already in countries etc.. I would assume that, I have no real information naturally.

And terrorists will always find a way to do it, but it will have a negative effect on normal people. This does not of course mean borders should be super open and just let everyone walk in.

It's not. Your border controls are stricter than any I saw. They routinely send 2-5 lithuanians back with every Vilnius-London flight.

Only our government surely, most of us don't agree with our government.

Although Boddies maintains that there is a 'silent majority' who no-one can find actually support them. There's no evidence to support that though.

It amazes me that any asylum seeker arriving in Dover would want to stay here. Dover is a s**thole.
Although I suppose anything is better than France - and especially Calais.

/edit: I put the ** into this post myself because the auto-censor didn't catch it. Is it broken?

Well, they're getting more sophisticated: there were reports on the local news here that a couple of asylum seekers were knocking on doors in a village called Kirmington, which happens to be where Humberside International Airport is.

Incidentally, the last unsuccessful invasion of Britain was in the Napoleonic era. Again it was the French.

"Last invasion of Britain - the French were rounded up by the local women"

To be fair, there was a smattering of the local militia, but basically...yes. The French troops thought the women in their Welsh costumes (tall hat, red dress, white apron) were actually the army.

Only shows how much you know.
In this logic we should "follow" the US since it "guarantees" peace in our region. And peace is more important than some funds.

Second mistake by your part:
Italy and Spain (Spain much more than Greece) also get subsidies from Berlin and Paris yet are pro US.


Third logical errour (you are really british aren't you): UK also finances EU's structural funds.


As already said, the Brits have lost their ability not only to think for themselves but to make any sence at all.
They just follow blindly their american master. (out of fear of big bad EU maybe?)


Sad.
