Don't Give Them Ideas ....

.... they are bad enough already.
Just watching the BBC News, there is a married couple getting ready to be the first to Paddle Board from UK to France. If they succeed how long before Paddle Boards groaning under the weight of families start coming the other way ;o)

Did no one tell them that Brexit won't be as bad as the propaganda says ?

[Zacs-Master]

Zero.

[Old_Geezer]

Why, that's no time at all !

Why bother paddle-boarding from France to England when all one has to do is call Border Control and they will gladly send a boat pick you up safe and sound?

Making jokes about refugees trying to find refuge via paddle board is not funny because we all know how expensive paddle boards are and they certainly couldn't afford one.

//they [refugees] certainly couldn't afford one. //

how much are paddle boards in Spath land then? refugees clearly have no difficulty paying off people smugglers......

They may prove to be the first married couple to make the trip but it has been done before.

Expensive... Probably more expensive than some sleazy smuggler.
