So this isn't true then,Brexit in all reality had no bearing on illegals crossing the channel,it isn't Farage who produced the boats,as i said they were adapting and evolving from the syrian Turkey-Greek crossings,they were always coming,Brexit didn't create a new problem in truth,illegals will always find a method and route,Turkey-Greece opened their eyes.
-
What % of illegals crossing to the UK prior to brexit from France were returned back to France when apprehended as per the Dublin agreement?
-
Irrespective of this is still believe the boats are evolution spawned by the 2015 syrian/afghan/pakistan boat invasion of Greece from Turkey,some of that was organised by people smugglers from Iraq,the same people as has been reported have organised migrant channel boat crossings,Farage in my mind didn't spawn the crossings 1+1=2

Farage is in court today,the case of an illegal immigrant making threats to kill while still in Europe. reuters.com WWW.REUTERS.COM

My take on that is a little different Juk,Farage “Mr Brexit” is an easy scapegoat “It’s Farages fault we can’t return the boat people because he promoted and got brexit through”.Prior to Brexit how many were returned to France after arriving in the UK on Lorry’s (the common method pre-boats)?Do you have the stats? I actually had a premonition,an inkling boats would be used to cross the channel back in 2015,I have been to Calais a few times,saw the hordes waiting their chance in trucks,but security was tightening up and it was a slow method of moving people and your bottlenecked in,funnell

Had to Google gary neville to see who he was,no relevancy in my life and his words are as vapid as his career,if he was a bricklayer or draughtsman he wouldn't be given a voice,he kicked a ball around on a bit of grass,how can he be taken seriously.
-
How did he create them Juk? I don't like all these career politicians playing musical chairs and jumping ship to stay in the game.

Could have been worse,he could have been wearing it back to front.Hoodies and baseball caps are standard wear over here,and south of the border,but its not really a thing for anyone over the age of 25 to flip their cap back to front,the peaks to shield your eyes not to shield the back of your neck,kids think its trendy. Not a pet hate but where is AI taking us at speed,and deep fakes,I got a message from the UK earlier about the CN Tower in Toronto being on fire,its AI generated film.

Went north trekking over the weekend,just over 25 km on really rough trail my lady last walked as a student,reached the trail head after 30 minutes on a rough road,came round a bend and saw a juvenile golden eagle being mobbed by three ravens then hiked up into the hills with some great views. -
28 degrees and glorious sunshine over the weekend,the further north the more vibrant the colours.

I did actually think “Trying to impress at a funeral???” (Must be a Newcastle thing?).
-
I don’t think anyone ever chose footwear for a funeral “to make an impression”.
-
It wasn’t for anyone else except me,they matched the suit I had (I owned the suit) but I rarely wear suits and would probably never have worn the shoes again.
-
No,no better than that mate,product of my environment,trace memories linger,sorry I failed to live up to your expectations Juk.
-
No sadly not,I am in Quebec at this current time,if I was in London I would have had a ticket,his voice is throaty gravel,perfect for country,reminiscent of pickup trucks and dusty roads.
-
True story,few years ago i went to a funeral,I bought a really good pair of shoes especially for the occasion with the intention of returning them after the cremation,put tape over the soles so as not to mark them when walking in the cemetery grounds,peeled the tape off afterwards,gave the shoes a wipe over,voila,refunded cash.

Truckstop food in a culinary desert mel,send me a hamper from Fortnum and masons ASAP (please).
-
No sir,reduced to diners and foodcourt food nowadays,such is life on the road.
-
Black truffle shavings on those artisan chips would jazz them up a tad.
-
Fear not good chap,my treat,I feel you would be a most entertaining dinner companion.

There's a lady to the right of that alcoholic beverage giving you the evil eye.

The history of Carhartt,funny how the brand has split fashion/function.
-
That jacket felt really stiff when I tried it on,the funny thing is its in a construction clothing store called Marks that sells Carhartt,Timberland,Helly Hansen stuff that's fashionable in the UK but worn on building Sites over here.
