NEED to get to UK

Just seen this with the video about immigrants trying to get to the uk on the back of a truck in France rather funny .
A British trucker filmed migrant stowaways begging him to stop as he drove down a motorway – when they realised he was heading to Holland and not the UK.

Hmmm. Funny? Or sad that people are in such a desperate situation? You know the type...actual fellow human beings.

Seems strange to me why people in such a desperate situation aren't relieved just to have reached the safety of mainland Europe...........yet they seem even more desperate to get to the UK, can't think why..........can you?

If there is a reason, then it's probably within our control to remove the incentive.

I guess its as close to their own living standards as whatever shithole theyve come from. Lots of familiar surroundings too.

I would think that Holland is a really nice place to live so its not sad really its not as though they were taking them back from where they originated from so why is it sad Are you saying Holland is a bad country.


No its because they are desperate to get to the UK I wonder how many decent countries they have travelled through just to reach the UK


It must be the draw of BREXIT.

Could be that Britain is a country that they have heard of and been aiming for. Perhaps Holland is less well known, fairly or not.

We are quite well known in most parts of the world.

Most people who learn English as a second language learn American English, mainly from TV, Movies () & Music.
