    [foreign person] “I’m gonna pay £20,000 to get into Britain via a 3 week journey underneath a lorry and then in the pit of a fishing trawler during a 36 hour sea crossing in gale force winds…and then run into hiding and stay scrounging of the gullible English for ever and ever…..”

    “…or at least until I get a personal text message from the Minister for Pointless Departments saying ‘we know where you are ha ha ha ha!!’; in which case I will hand myself in to the nearest policeman and admit my dastardly plan has been thwarted by a super-intelligent race with the most highly advanced intelligence gathering tools known to man”.
