Calling them 'refugees' as you do is disingenuous and frankly appalling!

WEBF/Hunterboy,

Actually the UK Border Force has NINE vessels, it has 4 32 Ton Coastal Patrol Vessels in addition to the 5 Cutters, each of which also carry a RIB and a Rescue Boat.

As to your throw away nonsense about Council Housing, I guess you have no idea what these folk go through do you?
If the so called refugees are in such dire straits as you imply, why did they not seek asylum in the first safe country iaw the Dublin Accord?
