Time for camps to be set up maybe empty army and airforce camps, patrolled by the Army, and for all those who are refused permission to stay in the UK, to be immediately sent there, until such a time when they are sent back, meanwhile they should be forced to work to pay for their keep.

Some replacements tried to get here though.

Galtieri Airlines, maybe?

Some interesting quotes here

http://www.samueljohnson.com/patrioti.html

including:-
---
408. Patriotism; Politics; Subversion
"A man sometimes starts up a patriot, only by disseminating discontent, and propagating reports of secret influence, of dangerous counsels, of violated rights, and encroaching usurpation. This practice is no certain note of patriotism. To instigate the populace with rage beyond the provocation, is to suspend publick happiness, if not to destroy it. He is no lover of his country, that unnecessarily disturbs its peace. Few errours and few faults of government, can justify an appeal to the rabble; who ought not to judge of what they cannot understand, and whose opinions are not propagated by reason, but caught by contagion."
Johnson: The Patriot

"Caught" is not the issue, though - in the recent past, illegals were processed at Dover Harbour, given a blue cardboard folder, and put on the train to a clearing place in..... Croydon. Did they arrive? Your guess is as good as mine!

You are quite right. We are currently pussyfooting around with this quite serious problem, in light of recent events in the M.E., and have been doing so for some years now. Any body and everybody must be detained and interrogated if they enter this Island illegally. Those detained must be questioned as to their intent had they managed to enter without detection.
The Home Office should scrap Blunkett's useless bobbies and employ them on Island security patrols and Internment camp security along with military reservists etc.

Yes folks, apparently it was us British who first operated concentration camps.

As you are retro, you will, no doubt, recall how the camp guards* ended up at the war crimes trials with the rest of them and how "I was only obeying orders" was such a feeble excuse. Will you be applying for a position, if you're so keen to push others into this?


* there's a punchline going begging, there, for anyone who's seen sp's dancing guardsman thread.

They've probably fallen down the back of the sofa.

[FrogNog]

I just wonder how you know these places are ghettos retrocop. Just curious.

[Baldric]

What a great idea, Identity Cards,
why didn't someone think of that before,
I mean they just couldn't be forged,
or could they?

I was not aware of any British POW guards in the last World war being indicted
for war crimes in this country.Neither were the guards, on various interment camps, for people arrested under the Aliens Act, accused of War crimes in THIS COUNTRY. We are discussing the security of the UK at this time are we not ?

Sorry, retrocop. The brain cell which looks after the concept if "internment camp" set off the entire neural network which deals with Nazi concentration camps. My bad.

The Boer war camps (where it all started) didn't execute any prisoners (ttbomk) but became notorious for the neglect of the prisoners, with deaths from starvation common, at the women-and-children-only camps.

Given the levels of vitriol aimed at immigrants, in certain circles, I can see this sort of carelessness happening again.

p.s. There should be a thread about the problems at the Lincolnshire handling centre by the time I've typed this (typing is slow and cranky at the moment)
