    Newsflash - we've already got them! Sort of a "congratulations for getting in. Here's some free cash. Please enjoy your community centre and feel free to complain it's not big enough. Have as many kids as you want as we'll pay you per child with a bigger house and a higher grant. If there's any forms you don't understand please tell us - we will then need to get all leaflets and a translator to help with all interactions."

    Reduce the incentives to come here, less will come. Reduce the ability to not bother learning English and more will try.

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

    You'd have to work really hard to make it worse to live in Britain than in countries with half a century of civil war....
    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban

    Not true.

    Same story when running away from a hungry lion: you don't need to run faster than the lion, merely faster than others running away.

    So, we don't need to compete with e.g. Somalia, merely make it that considering the hastle to get here and what you get whilst here, other places are a better option.
