Not really Tommy. Everyone wants to reduce immigration but no one wants to pay the price, which would be identity cards and coppers standing shoulder to shoulder along the coast from The Lizard and back again.


Just daily flights back to Africa would do

But hey ho , the scaffolders have just got back from lunch ( it was a long lunch ) with a wagon load of Kerosene and are doing a roaring trade with all the lads with diesel vans . 

Some ones made a few bob  ;)

It does seem strange that it is beyond the mother wit of either labour or tory in government at westminster to implement a stable functioning immigration system fit for the twenty first century .

There is a story that probably is not true but should be, that the reason Scotch whisky became popular was because of the excise tax imposed by the government. Raw whisky is sad stuff and was not that popular anyway. But what with the excise men patrolling the borders the distillers had to store the stuff and bide their time. So they put it in cheap sherry barrels and let it age before picking a time when Rabbie Burns was writing his poetry and they could then bring this by now most subtle of Scottish wines to eager customers in the south.

Talk about making a drama out of a crisis . As we have said many times the points based immigration system if implemented properly would see HGV drivers as a desired occupation which would give them lots of lovely points .

This government has failed miserably on immigration , blocking out people we need and letting in people we dont .

Desperate drivers fill jerry cans with fuel as more foreign HGV drivers set to be allowed to work in UK

Long queues of motorists waiting to fill up their tanks are continuing for a second day - as the government is expected to clear the way for a visa change allowing thousands of foreign lorry drivers to work in the UK.
