I thought the Home office would be the most secure office in Croydon. Obviously not.

I hope they don't blame the asylum seekers for this.

We've already had 'a weapon a day siezed at Lunar Hse' Now they've had a laptop pinched from there - let's all hope and pray there's nothing on this laptop that could enable even more people to fiddle the chaotic immigration system.

Nastymrstom does not like 'our' flag or 'our' poppies for some odd reason and also wants millions of immigrants to come here for some strange reason... why doesn't she go to a country she feels happy with and leave us alone eh ?
