They are talking about Albania in the article but we have thousands of islands, why not adapt a convenient one of those as a processing centre?

Just checking he doesn’t mean “fly them to Albania on small boats”

Presumably the idea is not as ridiculous as it sounds

Which "convenient" island are you thinking on?
Question Author
The idea is sound enough Australia have been doing it for 40 years. We just need a suitable location.
I'm happy for them to be sent to Albania. Anywhere but here.
why so terrified of processing them inshore? Scared they'll catch Covid?
Australia have been sending migrants to Albania?
I’d imagine the folks would prefer Albania to …
The Isle of Lewis
Rathlin
Anglesey
Hern
The Isle of Wight
What if they hijacked a boat and set off beck to the mainland again?
Right on cue … :-)
Do we have thousands of islands? Most of those would be rocks I think.
I’d imagine Australia has larger islands that are further away from the mainland that can more plausibly be deemed somehow “still Australia and yet somehow not”
Some kind of processing route is needed yes... they cannot simply be stopped from coming.
Australia send theirs to Nauru and PNG.
//...why so terrified of processing them inshore? Scared they'll catch Covid?//

Because once they are "inshore" the likelihood of them being removed, even if their claim for sanctuary is patently absurd, is vanishingly small.

Poland has adopted the correct approach to the problem they have on their border with Belarus and it seems to have borne fruit

The invasion currently being suffered in Kent is every bit as illegal as the attempts being made to get into Poland. The only way the rubber boats will stop crossing the Channel is to stop ferrying the occupants into Dover as soon as they cross into UK waters and, for those that do make it unaided, make life as extremely difficult and unpleasant as possible. So long as they are welcomed with blankets, food, hot drinks, almost immediate accommodation and money it will continue.

Illegal migrants living in France are not in danger, they are no facing persecution, they are not facing death. They simply don't like it where they are and that's not what the asylum system was designed to address.
What isn't actually Australia of course
//Some kind of processing route is needed yes... they cannot simply be stopped from coming.//

Why not?
because it's impossible new judge
It is far easier for Poland to deal with what is happening there.
They just put a load of troops and barbed wire etc.
So even though the forces on the other side are almost literally trying to push these unfortunates through, they just shut up shop, because Belarus is here and Poland is there and there are no territorial waters

judge: ||//Some kind of processing route is needed yes... they cannot simply be stopped from coming.//

Why not? || - well they cannot be stopped by any humane means but if they were all shipped off to a place for processing as soon as they arrive then the whole trip will be less attractive to them.

Now they get all the home comforts and very few are ever deported because TROB are allowed into the mix. If they were being deported from a non public airfield from a designated centre then there'd be less Trobbery.
Which British island do you suggest, TORATORATORA?
How about decommissioning a ship, removing the lifeboats of course, make sure they are humanly treat with food water etc,have security officers onboard and those that deal with asylum claims
Absurd?
Maybe so , but a damn sight better than what’s being done ( or not) on our shores
//...because it's impossible new judge//

Are you saying because we cannot stop them all we do not try to stop any? Or are you saying we can try to stop them all but will not succeed.
