How Can We Control The Channel?

[ToraToraTora]

a motley crew of 5th columnists, assorted lefties and remoaners etc are all moaning that we have failed to stop over 28,000 illegals in 2021. So over you you ladies and gentleman what measures should we have been employing?

[Khandro]

They should not be allowed to set foot on English soil. One of the many liners not being used should be at anchor in the channel & they should be put onboard for processing, those that don't pass muster, which I think will be a large proportion, should be then taken to an east African country, to whom a fee is paid to lodge them.

Once the process is under way & the word is out, the rubber dinghies will stop coming.

A similar process worked in Australia, it isn't rocket-science.

Could build camps in remote freezing Scottish islands. Only basic food,not catering with Halal food etc. basic heating and basic sports facilities, Basket ball etc. They would be locked in until their claims are processed and they are well and truely vetted. Children, women, men alike. The UK has to stop treating them as treasured welcome guests.

A bit harsh Sam ? Or would pritti patel agree to this treatment do you think ?

[davebro]

never mind pritti - would the wee 'un agree!

[davebro]

I like the prison hulks idea. If at the start we had sunk boats & returned survivors to France this would not have escalated. But we are where we are.

“Remote freezing Scottish islands”

Most Scottish islands have temperate, if wet, climates.
Apart from that, genius ;-)
Love the basketball idea.
Might be astronomical cost wise I think …

[anneasquith]

Dave, return the survivors. So would that mean there would be deaths ? Would that be legal? If ‘yes’, why has that not been done before now ?

[davebro]

probably fewer deaths than there have been with current policies!

[ichkeria]

It’s the easiest thing in the world to come up with “solutions” that might work in theory but are actually plain daft or whatever.
Mind you, that’s what the Home Secretary has been doing …

"If at the start we had sunk boats & returned survivors to France this would not have escalated."

Why would that not result in manslaughter or murder charges?

[ToraToraTora]

all the heath robinson answers above, the answer is clear 100% guaranteed to work and fixes it for both of us. Herd of elephants in the room yet people above ignore it, madness!

[Zacs-Master]

Stop all 3rd world wars and end poverty?

[THECORBYLOON]

I wonder if TORATORATORA has e-mailed the British Embassy yet?

[naomi24]

TTT, //the answer is clear 100% guaranteed to work and fixes it for both of us. //

You got me there. What is the answer?

[ToraToraTora]

see my answer at 18:14, read it digest it think about it, think about the effects it will have on those trying to get here. It is obvious.

[THECORBYLOON]

His plan '"Any illegal landing here from France is immediate shipped back" - simples. If the French agree...'

That one wee word "if" is surely where it fails immediately?

[naomi24]

TTT, I read that yesterday. It still doesn't make sense - and neither does your answer to my subsequent question. You say if we get the French to take them back they'll stop trying to get here and furthermore they'll stop trying to get into France in the first place. Sorry, TTT, but that really is absolute bunkum.

[anneasquith]

Ttt. Just to be clear with your suggestions .
Would your solution work only if France accepted the returned migrants. ? ( question mark )

[dannyk13]

The French should impound the boats.No boats,no channel crossing.

[naomi24]

Danny, the French won't do that. They are happy for them to come here. They don't want them either.
