Border Bollocks

I went abroad last week. For work, natch, I don't have the readies to swan off for jollies in 5-star hotels for fun.

And I was reminded again of what a fucking miserable business it all is. From the moment you start queueing for checking, through the several pointless and unpleasant "security checks" where bored cunts are clearly just seeing how far they can go and keep a straight face.

Take your belt off (It's leather and has a tiny buckle), take your shoes off, take out your laptop, do this, do that, stand over here, have you got your toothpaste in a bag, blah blah blah. It's all fucking bollocks. I'm bloody sure if I put my mind to it, I could find a way to subvert it, and I'm the least devious, most open person I know.

So I'm amused to hear that not only has Theresa May had to defend herself because someone at the UK Borders Agency decreed that people should be waved through to reduce queues, but that there is also an immigration debate (I caught the tail end of the exposé on the idiot lantern and there was the predictable bollocks that they had let through some people who were claiming benefits and weren't entitled to them - why is this UKBA's problem and not the problem of the FUCKING WELFARE DEPARTMENT?)

Now there has been a 100,000-signature e-petition which means that the government needs to debate tightening up border controls. This is fucking bollocks. Most of the migration coming into the UK is from the EU and there's nothing that anyone can do about that. And the vast majority of immigrants who come here, add something to the UK.

Yes, there are dole-bludging cunts and murderers and rapists, but fuck knows, we have more than enough home-grown of all of the above. I'd rather have a hard-working Somali cock-washer than a dole-bludging Northern gimp any day of the fucking week.

This is just more pandering to people who won't or can't think about what is going on here, or are just old-fashioned bigots. And conclusive proof that even the most direct democracy is just a festering pile of cock. Just because the majority or a significant minority believe some horseshit, doesn't give them the right to force it on the rest of us.

Agreed. This island could easily cope with a population of a couple of hundred million, we'd just have to organise ourselves properly.

And once again the 'great British public' have been played like a fucking fiddle.

"Are you carrying any liquids or creams?"

Why, yes. Would you like to see?

Agreed - but why should we?

Reminds me of a scene in Airplane 2, where they let a load of terrorists through carrying guns then throw an old lady up against the wall.

Er ... evidence.

Even if true it doesn't justify giving a free ticket to those whose object is to take something away.

The majority of the British public may well be retarded gimps, but they are still less retarded and less gimpish than the professional political class, which is why direct democracy would be an imporvement and which is why the politicians will do anything possible to block it.

'improvement'

Fuck right off with that. There are half a million Somalis here and almost all of them are on the dole. You pay for them. And that's without mentioning their horrible predatory 'religion'.

Because prevention is usually considered better than cure?

I take your point about the EU free movement though.
