Observations

Macron and the EU Commission

President Macron refuses to discuss the UK being able to return illegal boat migrants to France, saying that this is a matter for the EU Commission. This is of course wholly disingenuous. He could take them back if he wanted to, without needing the Commission. He chooses not to.

The EU Commission is similarly disinclined to discuss a returns mechanism. Like Macron they view this as another way to punish the British for daring to leave their empire. We would dearly like to know why the UK Government does not continually call out both the French and the EU Commission for their behaviour. With over 112,500 illegal migrants now having arrived from France, the French government and the Commission should be named and shamed.

The terrorist threat to the UK

Yesterday we published details of the mass legal immigration being suffered by the British people. The illegal boat migrants may be smaller in number but there are other, serious concerns. We know that the vast majority are young men, despite the BBC always choosing to point its cameras at a woman and a child disembarking from the Border Force or RNLI taxi service whenever it can. What we do not know is how many of these migrants represent a terrorist threat to the UK.

The soaring costs

Instead of taking a robust stance with the French and the EU Commission, the British Government has chosen to throw money at the French for doing a job they should be paying for themselves. A week ago we published the results of our research with the French Interior Ministry showing that they have been paid over £0.7bn courtesy of the UK taxpayer. This comes on top of the £6.5m per day to house these migrants in the UK. It is almost never said but this comes to an astonishing £2.4bn per year - plus the bungs to the French.

In the final part of this trilogy on the immigration crisis we will look at the effect of both legal and illegal immigration on the population of the United Kingdom. If readers thought the first two parts were bad enough, the final part will make people's blood boil.

We need your help to survive

Reports like the one above take far longer to research, write and produce than many people realise. If they were easy, readers would see other organisations also producing these daily. However, there’s little point in the Facts4EU.Org team working long hours, seven days-a-week, if we lack the resources to promote them effectively – to the public, to MPs, and to the media. This is where you come in, dear reader.
