Unless he was planning on moving to the UK, and Brexit has spoiled his chances, I still cannot see why he is so opposed to us leaving though.
The British empire was once so big that I believe Britain was expecting to become a multiracial country, long before others wanted it, and that is why they encouraged people from parts of their empire to live here. Sadly this cannot happen whilst different countries live by different laws & follow different beliefs.
It will take several more centuries for this to happen & all live happily together so, until they can, they need to be improving the country they were born in, instead of trying to get into countries, where life is better, by illegal means
Completely agree Twink, as people know my boys are half sri lankan only clue is their colour they are very much English and intergrated as is their wholly sri lankan father. Their grandparents came here and tried their very best to fit in, only thing they maintained was their religion and that's never got in their way to integrate in other ways.

If people want to integrate they can, learning the language is biggest thing they can do to fit in IMO

If they fail the asylum tests in countries such as Italy, then they are by definition not deserving of asylum.

Why should they then come here? Because they know we are soft and will be accepted here for that reason. There is also the factor of higher and more easily obtained benefits.

Neither are our politicians, yet they are the ones responsible.

Re: Sajid Javid - Saviour or Self-Serving?

Going back to Javid's motivation.

I think he got a phone call which, roughly, went along the lines of

"Hey, Sajid! I hope that you are enjoying your holiday.

One thing, though, is that a huge immigrant crisis is growing, back here, as more and more attempt the crossing of the channel.

The Media is having a field day.

It will get even worse if someone, especially, a child, perishes as a result.

Can you drop by and make a positive gesture to show that we have it all under control?

Just put your expense forms in, so that you are not out of pocket."
