I am totally struggling to take this in!!
An Iranian migrant in a French camp tells an undercover reporter he wants Britain because “England, they cannot see” his criminal record – and once here he plans “gang, sell drugs, fight, stab, shoot.”
If that’s true, it’s not just a story about one thug. It’s a confession that Britain has become the soft underbelly of Europe’s criminal circuit: the country the gangs talk about as a blind spot, a loophole, a joke.
We paid France hundreds of millions to “stop the boats”. The Express reporter still infiltrated a smuggling gang in Dunkirk and negotiated a crossing in under two hours, while French police looked the other way and smugglers ran an open marketplace.
Starmer’s government will go on TV and read the same script: “rigorous checks”, “international databases”, “foreign criminals are wasting their time”.
The reality on the ground – from Dunkirk to Dover – is that the criminals have already read the script, and they’re laughing at it.
The only people this system ever seems able to “rigorously” check, punish and track forever are law‑abiding British citizens.
