    Monaco.
    Second on the list.

    Not in the EU used by Continental EU as a tax haven.

    "The Principality of Monaco, or just Monaco as it is most commonly known, is a country located in Western Europe. Monaco is unique because of its small size. In fact, at just 0.780 square miles, it is the second smallest country by area. It is only larger than Vatican City. Monaco has a 2019 population of 38,964 according to the latest estimates from the UN's World Population Prospects.

    Despite its small size, though, Monaco has a total population of 38,400 per the numbers recorded during the last census of 2016. This puts the total population density at over 48,466 people per square mile, making Monaco the most densely populated country in the world.

    The largest administrative area by population is Monte Carlo. This area, which is aLSO known as a Quartier, is home to 15,200 inhabitants. Monte Carlo is known around the world for its tax laws and its rich population, as about 30% of people in Monte Carlo are millionaires.

    Monaco is not a part of the European Union but does follow some policies such as border controls. The nation is also a member of the Council of Europe and uses the euro as its only form of currency.

    The official language of Monaco is French, although other languages are commonly spoken throughout the nation, including Italian, English, and Occitan. One of the oddest things about the country’s population is that native Monegasques (that is, people who were born in Monaco) make up the minority of the population. French nationals are the largest ethnic group, making up more than one-quarter of the population. Monaco is also home to people from Italy, Belgium, Germany, and the United States, among other nations.

    The majority of Monaco’s residents follow some form of Christianity. Catholicism is the most prominent religion and is followed by over three-quarters of the population. While Catholicism is the nation’s official religion, the constitution of Monaco guarantees freedom of religion for its people. There are also smaller populations of Jewish and Muslim inhabitants.

    Monaco has the second-highest nominal GDP per capita in the world. The nation also has a very low unemployment rate, as many Monegasques travel to France and Italy for work. Monaco has the lowest poverty rate in the world and the most billionaires and millionaires per capita. Monaco has a strong economy due to tourism, banking services, and the gambling industry."

    Do we do as Britain does and help them as near to home as possible,

    Or lock them up let them out then hope to deal with them later.

    just fend them off at the borders ?

    Let any in that comes and just try and cope ?

    Send them somewhere else to be processed Australia style ?

    The total prison population in 2012 was 86,634, slightly larger than your total of 10,877.

    Do you have a link to your source?

    At 72.2% voter turnout, the leave vote was 37.4% of the total British electorate. Remain ( the smart vote ) was 34.7%

    We can only make decisions in a democracy based on those votes that allow a decision to be made.
    Hypothesising about those that didn't, wouldn't, couldn't be bothered etc is pointless.

    The remoaners have long labelled leave voters as intellectually challenged white racist northerners so we must presume those that didn't vote couldn't find the polling station so consequently must have been leave voters.

    That theory does sway the maths, but then I am biased.

    Actually the figures are higher than that. The figures quoted in the media only take into consideration the eligible voters in the UK of which there was claimed to be 72.2% turnout. They have conveniently forgotten to include another 4 million voters from outside the UK who were also eligible to vote. 3/4 of those voters, not living in the UK and so not aware of the situation in the UK - voted remain. If this number is subtracted from the present real UK voting numbers - it can be seen that the percentage of those living in the UK was much higher for Leaving compared to Remain - than has been quoted.

    And the other 0.1% voted for...?? As for the smart vote, - I go along with Local on that one!
