£1.6 billion of our money has been spent paying an Australian travel firm to run asylum barges.

We are told this is cheaper than spending £6m a day on hotels. This would appear to be a cost effective measure by the Government until you consider that these people are seeking asylum.

The economic problem is caused by not processing the claims. By Government failure. This point is lost on the majority.

So the Government offer a nice distraction while giving the impression to their learning-needs voters that they are locking up foreigners invading our country.

What a reassuring sight those prison-barges will afford to the self satisfied Brit walking their dog along the coast.

They can return to their hamlets safe in the knowledge that no brown skinned thug will be tupping their daughter that evening...

Meanwhile watch the contracts unravel and wait for the first story of a mother and toddler dying as they jump from the barge.

Someone is making money from this immigrants, it's not the taxpayers.
