Funny isn't it the way all the world's single male , under thirtyish oppressed waif's and strays make their way to the UK in preference to all other nations ?
It must be the destiny of the UK to provide sanctuary and shelter (plus healthcare, education sundry other benefits etc) to all those who don't fancy living in their own country.
Back in the good old 1980's when you left these shores the term "Economic Migrant" hadn't been invented and despite the world having communism and many cruel despots who are no longer with us you could count the number of "asylum seekers" on one hand.
