After two months of living in limbo in Calais and half a day hanging inches from death, Ahmed Osman must have felt that his 3,000-mile journey from Eritrea to join his older brother Jamal on English soil had finally come to a happy end.Well, in a way, it did, especially if you ask the poor bloody taxpayer…
At Kings Lynn County Court, police investigators said no blame could be attached to the coach driver, Mr Evans.
…
Checks on the vehicle at Calais by British border officials had also failed to find any sign of Ahmed hidden in the bowels of the coach.Keeping our borders safe, there, lads!
An Eritrean friend, who declined to be named, said: “We all come here for the same purpose - to leave behind a terrible war, a terrible place for somewhere safe where we can live with peace and respect. That is all we seek and, as you can see, we will take any risk to achieve it.”But you were presumably safe the minute you left. Why travel through all those European countries to get to the UK?
One might think it wasn’t ‘peace and respect’ you were really looking for at all, but rather something else…

Meanwhile, we have our life and death struggle with Yodel.
If he thought he was escaping murderous Africans, he has another thing coming.
My ancestors fought to give me a clean and decent place to live (although it's a bit scruffy now). These dirty shitholes like Eritrea were the only places to ever experience war and poverty?
But none of that for Ahmed - he preferred the idea of somebody else paying for it.
Roadkill would have been a nice outcome.
Surely we paid Stain Bob Goboff to sort Africa out back in the 80's ?
I know a Thai massage lady who does a happy ending
"Happy ending sir"

"Meanwhile, we have our life and death struggle with Yodel."
I've always found them rather good!

Just so.

He did as good a job as he did bringing up his daughters.

I bet you do...
