I'm tempted to offer £10 for every immigrant which EUCam deports because their English isn't good enough. He knows he'll be gone by the time any case would even need to be considered. And, you can be damn sure the European courts will have the last say on this; any such deportation will be ruled against human rights, and leave us clutching huge legal bills for our trouble. Meanwhile the extra £20M of taxpayer's money he's throwing at the problem is just another instance of the squandering of our national resources by main stream politicos. It's further proof that the claim of unselective immigration being cash positive for our economy is an outright lie. Australia demonstrably has this about right, and we should learn from our Australian cousins and their century of experience. The fools who control the undemocratic EU will never learn from anyone, and are once again destined to learn the hard way!

Daniel Gooch gets a mention on tonight's Great Railway Journeys .

Quick, start a "Corbyn's Cat Must Stay (deport Corbyn instead)" petition on gov.uk! I can easily code a bot which will produce the necessary number of up votes to force a HoC debate, and I doubt that this would even be illegal under the present rules.

No, no, no Foxy!!! This is a serious thread for pictures of our pets. Some might say a photo of some woman in her smalls has no place juxtaposed with my woofa. Very naughty.

May as well all join in!

That could easily be true, but you need to argue that with the unions who are demanding government action on Chinese imports depressing world markets. The unions must know that the government can't do the necessary within the EU framework. So.. both the Tories and the unions are either kidding themselves or kidding us - you choose! This is currently labelled as one of those "wicked" issues to which there is no easy solution. But it's certainly not one of those; like the resurrection of our fishing and other "strategic" industries there is a very straightforward solution: leave the political EU! Trade and politics do not mix, and the Common Market was sold to the British people as a free trade area. It's time to call the politician's bluff and get back to fundamentals. As you imply, we have a trade deficit with the EU, and they depend on our contributions to keep the whole political project afloat. We call the shots here, and if you meekly accept the EUphile's argument that we are in any way dependant on the EU for survival, you dramatically sell our great country short!
