Re: Gun being held to Britain's head by the French !!

And another 100 Years War with France Brilliant What clever ideas you have only France is a nuclear power now and the Agincourt Long Bow no longer rules the battlefield. Best way to sort this is a) Help these people live in their own countries free from disease, corruption and famine and b) remove the incentives by reaching a common European social security package - trouble is that requires stopping your national muscle flexing.

Re: Gun being held to Britain's head by the French !!

When people come into UK on planes they are subject to searches and the like and accept long queues as normal perhaps we need to adopt that policy with the tunnel and search all vehicles. We could use the army if the immigration system cannot cope.

We have been flooded with "Taffys" for years but unlike the Welsh we do not have the small minded endless chip on our shoulders which they cannot rise above.

We could all speak Welsh, they come here for benefits and work on the basis that they speak English as it is a universal language .
Hooray, at last I can see some minor use for the Welsh language .

Re: Gun being held to Britain's head by the French !!

A Taff is from South Wales. Calling the North Welsh a Taff is geographical ignorance. Taffy is a term of abuse. These so called "Taffies" who flood your England are only the descendants of English settlers whose ancestry is probably more Saxon than most of yours. The real Welsh inhabit a couple of small Welsh speaking counties in West Wales slowly being nibbled away at by incomers. We have no sympathy with England being treated to the same process.

This is what was suggested on the radio this morning and looks like this will be taken up
