Channel crossing record beat.(again and again and again)

[normal rules]

Another record yesterday. 700+

About time they did summat to stop these illegals coming over.

[SydneyRover]

sort of like a Dunkirk thingy?

Probably quite difficult when the French turn a blind eye.
They probably even give them the boats.

I thought we had taken control of our borders? I didnt realise we had asked the French to do it. Are they going to protect us from Russian subs as well?

I wouldn’t know about any of that wilts.
Are Russian subs a threat to us?
Do you think the French are trying  to stop them setting off?

Our area of Control starts somehere in the middle of the Channel we have no control of what is happening on the coastline of another Soverigbn state. As you well know!

[SydneyRover]

Maybe a wall should be built there, similar to the one in the Irish sea

[Colin C No.3]

Priti’Pathetic’ is keeping her head down these days.

Customs used to employ ‘Watchmen’ who would patrol a section of the coast of Britain. They knew every harbour master, every fisherman’s boat, every landing area for small boats.

They were done away with as a government cost cutting exercise sometime in the 60/70’s.

We have some 7700 miles of coastline along the British shores. If the government were to employ Customs Officers to ‘protect’ 30 miles of that coastline, in effect being our ‘wall’ against smugglers landing anything anywhere without being discovered, you’d be talking about 250 Officers.

Have them patrol a 60 mile area & you halve the number of Officers needed.
Is that too much to ask of any government?

So its irrelevant what the French do then? Better tell hound that - he appears under the impression they are supposed to be guarding 'our border'.

Wilts, the French don’t want them as much as we don’t.

Weren't we chucking £58 million at the French to patrol their coastline?
Also I just don't understand why they would want to come to England when they are already in the Utopian Paradise(according to the Wokes who post on here)of the EU?

Given how hard it is to get enough staff in any of our factories I very much do want them. Grocery inflation is surging and the high wages, golden hellos, loyalty bonuses etc. we're having to pay to try and get anywhere near the amount of staff we need are all contributing factors.

As a remain voter, I agree with you.
My post was a bit tongue in cheek Mike (we still need that emoji) based on the reasons that many in favour of Brexit voted for.

[Mike_F]

Sorry, Hound. I've not been on the forum much for quite a long time so forgot your position on this.

[drfchound]

Not an issue Mike. I don’t read all of the posts either, in fact i don’t go into the Ukraine or Coronavirus threads anymore as they seem to be about one or two people arguing with bst.

  Well you can't blame them for wanting to come here, they have a good chance of being warmer in their hotels than lots of pensioners will be in their own homes from November to March.

Yep, Iran, Iraq, Eritrea and the Sudan are fairly cool areas

[danumdon]

Yep, Iran, Iraq, Eritrea and the Sudan are fairly cool areas

Unlike North West France, which will be freezing come winter living under a tarpaulin.

There speaks someone who has never been to the desert in Iraq. Where temperatures can and do get below zero on occasion. Winter temps in Bagdhad for instance range from 2-15 c in winter months .

Why they living under tarpaulin shouldn't the French being treating em the same as us or am I missing something here?

I’ve been there. 1991. Op Haven. ( Op Provide Comfort was the US name )
Protecting north of the 37th parallel when saddams national guard were being pushed north by what was happening in Kuwait. And he thought it was ok to shoot the shit out of the Kurds.
Freezing cold at night time. Baking hot during the day.

and the revelence is ?

Your comment about the climate in Iraq et Al was tongue in cheek. Sarcasm. A dig at Selbys comment about migrants being kept warm in the uk.
You believe those Middle Eastern and African countries are hot/ warm. They are. On the whole.
But in the case of Iraq, it can get f**king cold too,

So your sarcasm is ill placed. I can’t talk of Eritrea, or Iran or Sudan as I haven’t been to any of those areas.

selby is confused a bit like an old radio not quite tuned in properly on the station, a bit passed the sweet spot you might say.

And is still doesn't explain your post

It seems 1500 male Asylum seekers are not welcome in a certain part of North Yorkshire.
