Daily Mail.

False.

His name isn't Sulamian Wihba, it's Simon Wilkins, he's from Virginia Water and the only accurate part of the story is that he plays rugby.

Arrived illegaly in the country we shouldn't be praising these people, come in the country legally and then maybe I will be happy for him!

The positives of immigration. Better than the braindead useless entitled ones who think immigrants are a sore for the country. They have their futures built for them and still can’t achieve as well as this “immigrant” can (even though he literally came from a lorry with nothing to help himself with). Well done to him.

To be honest i'd rather he was in the country than a lot of other people I know.

Maybe he was some foreign super genius that knew his only chance to use his intelligence was to get to UK and into Oxford.

That's a bit unsympathetic, I'm sure if you lived in a country where bombs were exploding and guns were firing 24/7 you wouldn't care about whether it was legal or not either.

Nah he's too edgy for that, I doubt he would be able to make good use of the opportunity like this guy though even if he had.
