Never mind the supposed shortages we have been told may happen if we come out of Europe, if we can prevent this happening to our country it will be well worth it.

How is Brexit relevant? The immigrants illegally stormed the beach - they could just as easily storm the beaches of Kent or Cornwall after Brexit.

[ToraToraTora]

good ole shengen they'll be all over Yerp in no time!

Because very soon the EU will have to face up to this problem, and they will demand that all members must take in their share of these migrants.

[Zacs-Master]

What precise differences do you see enabling us to prevent such a scenario after leaving the EU (we’re not leaving Europe by the way) to the measures we already have in place?

[Maydup]

Explain how being in or out of Europe prevents people arriving on dingies. And how would you suggest Spain prevents it happening to them?

[ToraToraTora]

well bhg/zm, yes they could no doubt land on our beaches but fortunately for us it's a lot further from Africa than southern Yerp is.

[Zacs-Master]

As I said.....
What precise measures....

[ummmm]

Yerp?

[ToraToraTora]

well the precise means by which it is unlikely are based on distance primarily. We would not be "preventing" it, it would just be more convenient and safer to land in the closest place which ain't UK.

[Zacs-Master]

I worked out he means Europe, ummmm. No idea why Torah has to use code.

/// Explain how being in or out of Europe prevents people arriving on dingies. ///

For one reason they are not going to sail their dingies from Africa to the British Isles. And once they are in Europe, then it is their problem and not ours.

/// And how would you suggest Spain prevents it happening to them? ///

They can't they have already accepted them.

[Zacs-Master]

So no need for any measures then, Torah?

[Zacs-Master]

And AOG.

[naomi24]

//how would you suggest Spain prevents it happening to them? //

I would suggest they stop accepting boatloads of incomers. If they're facilitating the problem, they've no justification in complaining about it.

[ToraToraTora]

well not curently ZM, well no more than what we already do but of course we cannot watch the whole coast the whole time.

[Zacs-Master]

I realise it’s impossible to watch the whole coast the whole of the time but that doesn’t answer why AOG thinks coming out of the EU will make it less likely (putting aside the fact that he’s now said no one is actually going to do it).

[ToraToraTora]

yes naomi, it does seem like a remarkably obvious idea, why do our Yerpean friends not do that?

[sandyRoe]

I'd have thought the sight of pink, middle aged, nudists on Spanish beaches might have given the boat people pause for thought.
Apparently not.

[ToraToraTora]

ZM, gawd help us!
1) distance
2) convenience
3) After brexit they cannot get here by right.

so if they want to get here they'll have to sail their tupperware box thousands of miles, capiesch?

[Zacs-Master]

But that’s no different to now. Capiche?
