[Khandro]

A bold idea, would it work?

Would France accept military helicopters dropping off illegal migrants on their soil…..?
Mmm. Let me think about that.


Non!

[Khandro]

He [Craig Mackinlay] said: “Niceties of interpretations of international law, and squeals from the left, need to be set aside in favour of robust action.”

//Non!//

Do I hear squeal from the left already ?

[Rosetta]

Not a very practical solution at all

[Hymie]

Apparently those nice French people have invited the UK to set up a processing centre in France, so the asylum seekers do not have to cross the channel and then sent back if their application is turned down.

But the UK government has turned down this offer.

[youngmafbog]

Not quite as simple as that though Hymie.

And no, using choppers is just more noise and a non starter.

> With France reneging on their promises, and Rwanda stuck in the courts, a senior Tory MP has proposed a new radical solution to end the "crisis".
> A senior Conservative MP has said the “national crisis” of Britain’s borders is now so dire that bold emergency measures must be put in place to stop the crossings.

In what sense is Craig Mackinlay "a senior Conservative MP"? At best he's just a normal Conservative MP, but I suspect he's not that good ...

//Apparently those nice French people have invited the UK to set up a processing centre in France, so the asylum seekers do not have to cross the channel and then sent back if their application is turned down.//

So what will those who are denied asylum to the UK do (after having their claims heard in France)? Do you think they will simply say "OK then. I'll head off back to [insert the country of your choice]"

[Khandro]

Hymie; //But the UK government has turned down this offer.//

Have you got a link to that please.

khandro: "Send Illegal Immigrants Back In Chinooks" - or even Y fonts?

[Zacs-Master]

It was probably in Brietbart or Guido Fawkes.

...I must admit I prefer Step one these days.

"Obviously not". Says everyone with a reasonably functioning brain.

The MP, who sits on the board of Chinook Helicopters Inc., was said to have recently fallen off the wagon big time.

[Ellipsis]

You know how some pretty girls are sometimes found in skimpy clothing and - next thing you know - there in the Daily Mail sidebar of shame?

Well, this is the same except for "pretty girls" it's "Craig Mackinlay", instead of "in skimpy clothing" it's "spouting populist claptrap" and instead of the Daily Mail it's the Daily Express.

Clickbait.

Elllipsis, he's the 408th-longest serving MP (or you could say 288th equal)

// Senior Conservative MP Craig Mackinlay //

Never heard of him.
Obviously of the bonkers wing of the party.

There was an arrangement called the Dublin agreement but we voided that by leaving the EU.
I think it’s called giving up your cake and then asking for the best bits back.

[ichkeria]

“ Send Illegal Immigrants Back In Chinooks" - or even Y fonts (sic)”

Chinos would be smarter …

[Old_Geezer]

Nothing needs to be voided if there is agreement that it is valuable, and ageed it is immediately reinstated, either in full, or the parts still of use. If this doesn't occur then one side or both sides deliberately opted to let it go. In which case one needs to examine the reasons.
