Observer II Posted September 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 You'll notice that S/E Asians travel half way round the world to get to the UK; when Australia is nearer and speaks English. The difference is, the Ozzies just don't let them land or let them in. 😠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are less than 1% French speakers in Vietnam. Your comparisons are not valid Obs. The SE asians who are refugees do indeed try to get to Australia i.e. boat people from Vietnam. The distance over water to Australia makes it harder to reach than overland to the EU and on to the UK. You will have noticed that the USA is well protected by the oceans. Most of the South Asians that come here do not walk all the way. Intriguingly the official estimates put Syria as 53rd out of 60 in the list of origins of UK residents born abroad. Vietnam is not on the list and nor is Lebanon, the nearest Francophone country in the middle east to us. In a nutshell no, I do not so notice.

Observer II Posted September 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 In a nutshell; the Ozzies have less, if any, illegal immigration, because they simply don't let them in in the first place; we evidently do let them in and then fail to deport them. 😠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer II Posted September 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 With Macron throwing his toys out of the pram, I guess we can expect them to launch even more immigrants across the channel ? 😠 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninearches Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 Like i've said before ,France must be breaking some laws by allowing these excuses for safe transport to be launched into their territorial waters . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer II Posted September 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Don't think the French have ever forgiven us for Agincourt, Waterloo and Dunkirk - jealousy and spite prevail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
