This is what you see 2 mins after getting off the ferry at Dover:

Welcome to the UK

And this is what you'll see in Calais:

Bienvenue en France

British town planning is so fucked up.

UKIP are quite big in Kent.  Are you saying that the shitholisation of Dover is a deliberate ploy to discourage migrants from making the trip?

Cheesy

I now have a picture in my head of hordes of Eastern Europeans trying to jump back on the boat once they have seen the horrors of Dover's brutalist town centre.

Ironically a lot of British town fuck ups is due to a Frenchman

Emotionally blackmailed for a BBQ? That's a bit extreme, isn't it?..

To be fair (and speaking as a Town Planner) France have considerably more space to fit everything in, hence the nice countryside just outside Calais - although not denying that Dover is an absolute tip.

Sadly the master planning boat for most UK cities sailed around 60 years back and we are just trying to work within the structures that exist now!

Calais was an English possession up until I think 1558...maybe time to claim it back, think Henry VI was the last King of England and France.  Perhaps Charlie boy, could resurrect the claim on accession, to make himself popular.

Spurs have bid 12 mil for Danny Ings who is a free agent on Monday. Fucking Idiots. I know there will be a few clubs sniffing around him and being under 24 clubs will be required to pay some compo but 12 fucking million just to stop other clubs getting a shoe in??
