funny truth

Let Me See If I Understand This . . . .............

If you cross the North Korean border illegally, you get 12 years hard labour.
If you cross the Iranian border illegally, you are detained indefinitely.
If you cross the Afghan border illegally, you get shot.
If you cross the Saudi Arabian border illegally, you will be jailed.
If you cross the Chinese border illegally, you may never be heard from again.
If you cross the Venezuelan border illegally, you will be branded a spy and your fate will be sealed.
If you cross the Cuban border illegally, you will be thrown into political prison to rot.

However, if you cross the UK border illegally, you get a job, a driver's licence, a social security card, welfare benefits, food stamps, credit cards, subsidized rent or a loan to buy a new house, free education, free health care, and you can VOTE.

Yes, I know it is so ......... you tell me why !!!!!!! ...........

(this is a joke)

Because we're a civilised nation. (I admit that we're currently too soft but that's better than being a nation that's despised for its human rights violations).

arknor · 18 Nov 2009 at 19:06

its suddenly a human right to live in the UK? WTF LOLWUT!

Obviously not, and that's not what I'm saying.

Vonhelmet · 18 Nov 2009 at 19:18

Please cross the UK border, heading out.

uv · 18 Nov 2009 at 19:36

you get a job -And? You'd rather they didn't work?
a driver's licence - And? It isn't just given to them y'know, they have to go through the same process we do!
a social security card - wowzers - this get's you free stuff, right?
food stamps - WTF, food stamps? source plx!
credit cards - so? It's a credit card, not a free pile o' cash!
subsidized rent or a loan to buy a new house - source please? I don't think immigrants get subsidised rent. The loan is called a mortgage.
free education - you're right, only rich people should get educations!

:rolleyes:

I came in here expecting a funny, thread gets zero stars.

ok well to me atleast your posts suggests if we didnt let people across the border we would somehow be violating there human right.

should just turn them away like most other civilised countries do

Whilst this is true in many cases, it is NOT funny. Labour have shafted our country.

In some cases this is just fair enough: come to the country, get work and the cards etc. No problem whatsoever.

It's just a shame that it isn't the case universally and that regardless of good intentions it is still illegal, yet this goes unpunished. Partly because we are a civilized nation and partly because of the softness and incompetence of the government.
