Sensible. But doesn't fit the left agenda of importing poverty, crime and young males, to then complain about housing and schooling shortages etc

Oh yeah! How stupid of me not to realise that people on the left want crime and poverty and overcrowded schools!

Seems the Albanians are now promoting a new route . Santander to Portsmouth ferry, in lorries.

Record for 2023 beaten yesterday. 800 in a day. All males .

And the barge when it's fit to use holds how many?
Another total waste of our money was it £1.6billion for 3? but hey the chap who supplied it is a Tory donor and the cotract didn't go to tender so that's OK then

The Daily Express, of all papers, puts the channel crossings in perspective.

"These numbers are substantial and increasing, but from the perspective of our European neighbours, they are not exceptionally large."

"A quarter of all applications were made in Germany alone – their 243,835 total higher than anywhere else in the EU, and over three times more than the UK."

"Greece has a population of 10.5 million, compared to the UK's 67.5 million. In terms of asylum seekers per head – a rough barometer of a country’s ability to assimilate refugees – Greece had a rate of 356 per 100,000. The UK figure is 113."

"Austria tops the table in this regard, receiving just over 1,200 requests per 100,000 residents – a ratio over ten times higher than the UK."

Bit of a strange one I watched a report on Talk Tv today they were out in the channel today watching a French Offshore patrol vessel merrily escorting a boat full of migrants into British waters, I can’t understand why they don’t intercept and take em back, The Border Force intercepts them when they reach British waters and them take em off the Dinghy and in to Port?
