Of the 235 migrants who made their way illegally across the Channel last Thursday was a particularly vile piece of work called Mosab al Qasas. A Hamas supporter, he had travelled from Gaza, had publicly called for the slaughter of all Jews and had been photographed on Facebook with two AK-47s in his hand. Not to mention a video he posted throwing a pipe bomb in clashes with Israelis.
I don’t want him here under any circumstances. But he is confident in the knowledge that we have zero power to keep scum like him out of the country.

As far as I’m concerned, he’s in the safest of places right now. In police custody. He was charged with knowingly arriving in the UK without leave. But you and I know that this is just the beginning.
There will be a queue a mile long of lawyers (rewarded for their work with YOUR taxes) waiting to lodge his first appeal when he’s rightly he’s kicked out of the country. If form is anything to go by, he can look forward to a long stay here, probably years.
He’s in Manchester I will bet good money the new Manchester United stadium is built before he’s removed. Note I didn’t say that they will win a game before he’s gone!
Seriously, I saw a case in The Telegraph the other day involving a Pakistani paedophile which had lasted 14 years, and the criminal was still here. How wrong is that?
But what are we doing about it?
Nigel Farage makes it clear he will dump the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) as one of his first acts of coming to office. That pledge explains why he is ahead of the Tories in the polls, and even allowing for a slight bump over the Rupert Lowe affair, must have every chance of making it to No.10.
The Tories don’t know whether to stick or twist. Kemi realises that unless she does something dramatic about immigration she will be gone by this time next year. Tories can’t go into the next election without a promise to do something about the Mosab al Qasas of this world.
That leaves us with lamentable Labour offering. Starmer keeps talking about smashing the gangs. As I often say he can’t even smash potatoes.
This year 4,932 Channel migrants have arrived, that’s up 3,406 this time last year. This is wholly unacceptable, but thanks to Trump and Ukraine these numbers hardly get a mention. Domestic issues have gone on the back burner and Starmer likes it that way.
He has no answer and what worries me is that four years of him will mean around 160,000 more illegals here. A population equivalent to the size of Sunderland, Oxford or Slough. Why doesn’t that worry Labour. I too want to get rid of civil servants but I want to get rid of illegal migrants first.
It’s not only young men from the Middle East heading over here in their thousands. The Times reports that Trinidad and Tobago are at it as well. They don’t use a boat, they simply jump on a plane.
Their game is come over here as visitors ( they don’t need a visa) and then overstay their six months period allowed for tourists claiming asylum saying it was unsafe to return to the Caribbean.
Between 2015-2019 the number pulling off this trick was on average 49 a year. Last year that number had jumped to 439.
Previously the people from Trinidad and Tobago didn’t need a visa. The Home Office intends to change that as soon as possible. Even so, will it actually stop people from the Caribbean just doing the same but this time with a visa in their passports.
I have my doubts. The scrapping of the Rwanda deterrent was a catastrophe. There is no reason why the whole world can’t chance their arm and to make their way here.
In four years, Labour will be thrown out with losses as large as their gains. Until then we just have to keep up the online protests and email to our MPs. They have to understand that for many of us this is our most important domestic problem.
