Fine line Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Why did you put French inside inverted commas? Lets see how French most of the arrivals look if/when they get here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandad.Malky Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Lets see how French most of the arrivals look if/when they get here If they don’t have a string of onions around their neck they aren’t French. Many moons ago we went to France and in a market my mother said “ look at that black man, he is specking French” , bless her she is getting on but it appears such ignorance still prevails.

Fine line Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Ooh, let me guess - in your head French = white...how am I doing? Lets just say, people that were not born in France that are then being forwarded to Kent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Lets just say, people that were not born in France that are then being forwarded to Kent. How do you think you'd be able to tell by looking at them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 people that were not born in France that are then being forwarded to Kent. They're not "French" then, are they? If a person doesn't have a European Passport they aren't allowed to come here to work. I think this will go the same was as "le pond", myself.

L00b Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Fine line is obviously not familiar with unemployment levels in France. Here's a clue: it's been as bad as the UK is now, but for the last 20 years. Nothing to do with Calais illegals (who wouldn't get on the trains the article is on about), and no difference whatsoever in respect EU migrants who might transit to the UK that way (they already do now, they don't need to wait for French businesses to setup office parks in Kent). Considering the still-vastly different employment law (and taxation) regimes between the 2 countries, however, I can perfectly understand why French business types would prefer to set up shop here.
