With 5,000+ illegal boat migrants to UK, isn't it time Britannia ruled the waves again?Brexit Facts4EU.Org reveals the EU's five-year incompetence in handling the migrant crisis?© Brexit Facts4EU.Org 2020New EU report exposes massive EU spend on migrants somehow resulted in big increase in asylum-seekersWith the BBC disgracefully refusing to let 'Rule Britannia' (see below for video) be sung at the Last Night of the Proms, many people are asking questions on many levels about the UK's immigration controls and its control over its own waters. However before even crossing the Channel, migrants first have to cross the EU. So what is the EU doing about this??Two weeks ago the EU Parliament updated its report entitled: "Asylum and migration in the EU: Facts and figures". As this report has had no coverage in the mainstream media, we felt readers might wish to be informed of these "facts and figures" from the only elected body in the EU. We have also cross-referenced it with the EU's February report on asylum seekers.As ever, the EU's own facts make for disturbing reading. Before we summarise the EU's report, here is the current context for the UK.Left: The Britannia statue in PortsmouthTo cross the Channel, France's boat migrants had to cross many EU countries firstThe Home Office now admits to over 5,000 illegal migrants having arrived by boat this year so far, having set off from the safe country of France to claim asylum in the UK. This does not include those who made it across undetected and then disappeared.Brexit Facts4EU.Org has followed the trail back. To get to the northern French coast in the first place, these migrants – many from countries such as the Sudan – had to cross the Mediterranean and enter a southern EU country, typically Spain, Italy or Greece. So what has the EU been doing to control its borders?BREXIT FACTS4EU.ORG SUMMARYThe EU's spending on migrant-related funds – according to the EU itselfEU's "Financial instruments for external cooperation on migration" totals over £110bn since 2014EU's internal "Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF)" totals over €10bnEU's internal "Integrated Border Management Fund (IBMF)" totals €8bnThis total of €128bn does not include the EU's massive 'Cohesion Fund' now being used for migrant 'integration' in many member states of the EU. The UK has only ever paid into the EU's Cohesion Fund and has never been a beneficiary since it started.In February, Facts4EU.Org reported on the latest asylum numbers for the EUA total of 743,575 people claimed asylum in the EU last year, 2019That's almost three-quarters of a million people, not including those who did not claim asylum but disappearedThe number of first-time asylum seekers in the EU rose by almost 12% last yearSome countries saw truly dramatic increases, eg Spain : 118%The country showing the largest increase in first-time asylum seekers last year was Spain. Below we show what has happened to their numbers over the last 10 years.?© Brexit Facts4EU.Org - click to enlarge

Rupert Hill 25 Aug 2020 11:04AMThe graphs would only be meaningful if they showed a cases per test ratio, rather than just the number of cases.100 cases from 1000 tests in April is a very different scenario from 100 cases in 100,000 tests now.9UnlikeReplyGraham Barnes 25 Aug 2020 10:49AMSpain's data says it all....positive tests near their peak in April, yet deaths still tiny, even allowing for weeks of lag time between the two, and for any cross contamination between young and old people. Politicians have found a new metric to scare themselves and their populations.The whole world seems to be now run on precautionary principles of the worst case scenario what might happen, despite the evidence building that it won't. And the sort of precautionary action we do not apply to any other part of normal life-let's ban smoking, or mandate a 20 mph speed limit, both of which would save tens of thousands of lives every year?

Wee Willy is backing Biden .. what a fit up




It’s in the UK’s national interest that Joe Biden wins the presidential race

Under Trump, the US has stopped leading on global issues and shown disdain for democratic values

William Hague



As the United States embarks on what might be its most acrimonious election in living memory, what outcome would be in the interests of the UK? A case can be made that the first term of President Trump has been not too bad from the British point of view. He is warm towards Britain, likes our Prime Minister and is in favour of a free trade deal. His administration has backed us up at some crucial moments, such as over the Salisbury poisonings, or China’s breach of its agreements with us over Hong Kong. He never looks happier abroad, or...

'most were deleted'

Well, i put a false claim in just to see what happened, it got rejected, so how do they know mine wasn't deleted???

Certainly didn't pay up for me.

We started ok then the wheel dropped off. Maybe they will put it back on later.

I think quite a few companies will show growth and others will be ok in particular those that have fiddled the furlough scheme.
I think the quicker people get back to work now, in particular civil servants who will spend local at lunch times the quick we will recover.

German figures better than expected. Sterling strong. A no deal likelihood with EU seems to have settled the markets. Covid 19 deaths remain very low even if cases are slightly higher. Treatments and talk of vaccines abound. So what's not to like? A possible second wave of ppi s? I have a feeling that the courts will be on the banks side this time. The banks appeals ,this time, will be heard with some sympathy . Another 38 billion payout would cripple our financial institutions and put the whole country at risk at a time like this . This time the government might step in with new legislation to prevent the legal blood suckers getting a second Xmas.Good Luck.

1. PPI was not fraud, people had a choice of whether to take it or not, I chose not to.

2. The government hit the banks on this PPI solely to transfer wealth from the Savers to the debtors so the debtors could keep on consuming as they had so much debt that they were starting to stop consuming.

In both the USA and the UK all the governments are after is for their people to keep on spending and to keep on consuming as this is the only way they can keep their economies growing as these countries no longer produce of make anything any more.
