If the Governments had listened to me that would have been 1000 - with 34,000 coming on cheap, legal weekly ferries arriving at secure, safe, strict entry centres.
Do Ministers have no brain cells?

I thought Starmer was going to smash the gangs. He can't smash a pane of glass.

Cooper on LK - why oh why can't she see - Follow The Money; undercut the smugglers - charge £20 instead of £20,000.

This lightbulb idea would not work.

Yes, you'd undercut the people smugglers and might put most out of business, but you would not stop the actual problem, they'd still come, perhaps in greater numbers still. Then, like the RNLI, we'd start seeing the ferry companies as nothing more than an illegal migrant taxi service too.

None of these people have to spend ten or twenty grand to come here via a smuggler anyway. They are quite able to buy a ticket on a ferry or on Eurostar and arrive here much cheaper by those means and then claim asylum or whatever, so why don't they?

Are they determined to hide their true identities, that should worry us all. The governance of this nation in it's own citizens best interests has gone out the window, we don't just need to smash the boats we need to smash the Tories and Labour parties out for good.

I mean, just how long is this situation supposed to carry on for? It is not sustainable.

Not forgetting they will probably attach a harness from one end of the ferry and another on the raft. RNIL will have to save them regardless due to maritime law.

I have been watching Youtubers doing audits on migrant hotels, most of the guests have the same stories like they have been given a script and some are working illegally. They all have nice and expensive designer gear bought by us of course. They smoke expensive tailored cigarettes, which someone admitted on a camera the Home Office buys them.

So if they have no identity, they wont be claiming benefits or finding a job? Or being treated by the NHS? These are desperate people mostly, otherwise they wouldn't be coming.Half the world is being bombed mate.

I wish to show you the utmost respect DSC, and you are entitled to that view.

However it's the most naive and delusional comment imagineable, and so misguided and untrue.
