Why is this only happening now, do you think?  Do they really think the boat fare is worth it for what they will get when they get here?  

It is really strange. 

Not sure he was begging.paid the fare over to see a friend, he says. Then didn’t have the fare back.

My suspicion is that there’s a new broom and that in the past they’d just have been put on the boat with no action.

They're all secretly patsies, they've actually been paid to be here and get arrested so that the police can get their way and make you need a passport to get on the boat.

Conspiracy FACTS

More to do with SPCo branching out into people trafficking - cash only, tax payer see's none of it. Boils my piss.

Lol. How would photo ID stop them coming?

And another one. English this time. Only got 2 days custody, plus an exclusion order. Found sleeping in a sleeping bag outside sea terminal. Not enough money to get a ticket home.

So 6 in prison for begging, at roughly £1500/person/week. 

I'd rather they were booted off with exclusion orders, tbh.

I’ve explained above why that’s difficult.

You can’t make them go for 28 days.

And, no, number 6 wasn’t begging. Just asleep in his sleeping bag in the open air/under the stars. Didn’t the Governor and Mrs Governor do that recently?

Or they let me run some sort of 'home stay' thing from my place, £1000/head/week.

That may be for the sixth case, but the others who were begging?

Now that’s one case I’d love to see you reporting on. :)
