More deaths in the channel.

Because they don’t want them and want rid

And what is so different about France?

The answer lies at the country of origin. It would be silly and ill thought out to blame the French. They seem to be doing more than the UK.....

What do you suggest we do send a war ship into
French waters ? Sieze control of Calais ?

SAS raiding party into France ?

The Channel aint that big boyo. You could swim across it. No big deal returning to your own dock.

French vessels: French port.

UK vessels: UK port.

If they could swim it, why bother sending an RNLI taxi to collect them?

French warships would soon turn up if the RNLI taxi'd them back to France.

If only we could think of some way to take control of the situation. But no, we do nothing but blame everybody else..

Too many 'friends of Calais' and ambulance chasing type solicitors that are stalling the process at every turn. A bit like the remain lot when they wouldn’t accept the referendum result.

Clever cookies the French. They stand up for themselves.

Perfectly reasonable, assuming there is no medical emergency.
But if there was I'm assuming a helipcopter lift would be quicker.

Ok. Someone else on here moaned about, and blamed, lawyers. When I said great, let's do something about them they claimed it isn't as easy as that. We do nothing as usual.

Smugglers would just move up the coast to Dunkirk.

They?

Here's a couple of novel ideas. I know the UK will never consider them, out -of-hand.

We open an asylum office in France, on the coast for preliminary processing. Any Asylum Seekers that look as though they may be approved, we provide a safe passage to UK, They're intent on coming anyway, and the UK will either approve their application, or not. Whatever the result, they'll end uip languishing in UK, not being productive.

Or we propose a European wide approach, where all European countries take a fair share of asylum seekers.
I suspect all the other European countries will snatch our hand off. Only UK would be the losers.

What we're currently doing (or not doing) ain't working.
