When the Channel Tunnel was being constructed there was public concerns about security.
A minister at that time, I think it was the late Tony Benn said a rabid fox couldn't get through
undetected. He failed to mention the rest of the Worlds population. Last year an illegal immigrant
with a long criminal record in his own country was released from prison in London, having served
3 years of a 6 year term for a serious crime. A Judge, surprisingly, ordered his immediate deportation
and he was taken back to his own country. Six days later he was arrested in London committing a
serious crime.!! Laughing stock comes to mind.
