Channel Drownings

[Paul22118]

Just been reported another four have drowned in the English Channel.  They are aware of the risks but it still does not deter them.  How is SKS going to stop them?

[Gromit]

Threaten to deport them to Rhyl 🫤

[Stableford]

He's going to smash the criminal gangs ;) I'm looking forward to an update on his progress on this- am sure Farage will be pressing him on it regularly at PMQ's.

[Old_Geezer]

International criminal gangs are to be smashed by a new anazinf Force that, as it's a UK Force, won't be able to do much outside the UK anyway. But presumably the new friendly relationship with the EU he's going to create will ensure France ups it's game and they'll be gone before you can say, "Jack Robinson".

[Old_Geezer]

...amazing...

[Deskdiary]

Meh

[Samuraisan]

The only way to stop them in my opinion is to stop mollycoddling them. Stop housing them, giving them money, stop their health care and schooling. And send them back to their own countries where these young men should be trying to build them up.

[saintpeter48]

as soon as the boats hit British water turn them back, get the Navy to patrol the Channel, don't send out RNLI lifeboats to bring them ashore, its not rocket science!!

[naomi24]

He won't stop them.

Surely he's allowed a few weeks to address the issue?

The last lot had 14 years and did nothing but block-book hotels and hand out free cash.

//Surely he's allowed a few weeks to address the issue?//

Yes of course, although he's had a few years to decide what should be done, so will have oven ready plans

[naomi24]

I agree, NMA.  He didn't like the Conservatives' plan so presumably he has something better in mind.

I hate to say it but let them drown - when they realise just how dangerous it is, they will back off, though they may try and find another way of illegal entry.

"I hate to say it but let them drown - when they realise just how dangerous it is, they will back off, though they may try and find another way of illegal entry."

 

Sadly, I agree. The French cops are complicit in the drownings, they make no effort to stop the illegal immigrants boarding the dinghies in the first place. They just stand around watching them leave.

[naomi24]

The latest were in French waters.  Was the boat towed back to France.

[douglas9401]

Got all that, naomi, Tories good, Labour bad.

Hopefully they cancel the obscenity of housing unwashed invaders in three star establishments as soon as internment camps are built, somewhere in England mind, near the point of entry.

[newmodarmy]

I agree with you on that douglas. But internment camps won't happen unfortunately. Weren't there legal challenges over poor conditions in some army barracks or similar.

[naomi24]

Give them a chance before judging them, Douglas.  Let's see if his plan works.

[newmodarmy]

"Figures from the Home Office show 427 people made the journey across the Channel in seven boats yesterday, taking the provisional total for the year so far to 14,759.

It means the number of arrivals recorded since Sir Keir took office now stands at 1,185"

From various media outlets

[Ryzen]

The small boat crossings will stop quickly...once a deal with P and O is sorted.

[newmodarmy]

You could well be right, ryzen.
