You could set up a 24/7 hourly shuttle service and the overall number of people wanting to seek asylum in the UK would hardly change, I know you know this. Those making out that absolutely everyone wants to come to the UK are deluded.

4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators

Israel’s military has announced overnight that three soldiers have been killed in combat in the north of the Gaza Strip.
