Why do you think they are called The Exiles?

Maybe because they have relatives or friends in the UK, a higher diaspora of their own nationality in concentrated areas. That could be the reason why, after all, there aren't that many of them. If i was a young man fleeing poverty or oppression i'd quite likely want to end up where my family and friends are, so i reckon that i'd take the risk in a dinghy.

Yup, they've got to eat. Don't they receive vouchers that they can use in supermarkets?

Also English is the most widely spoken language in the world so they've often got more English than they do German or French for example

They get about £35 stipend per week and can remain waiting for their leave to remain to be granted for many years receiving that.

A Tory government is all for more cheap labour, for us working men/women ‘A glut of work and a lack of labour’ is a good scenario, gives us a bit of leverage on wages, whereas the ‘ruling classes’ (for want of a better phrase) are well happy with a ‘lack of work and a glut of labour’ and if that labour is £3 a hour under the arm desperate non local workers, who cares?

Cyril of "lardy & cyril" fame. I thought you hung off every one of glueys posts. He's been saying that every other day for at least a year, surprised you never picked up on it.
